Retrieving data from firebase database into recycler view

I just started working with firebase real time databases and i have been trying to retrieve data from firebase real time database into recycler view but i am experiencing difficulties.

RecyclerViewAdapter

    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
        final String date_path = arrayList.get(position).getDate();
        final String verse_path = arrayList.get(position).getVerse();
        final String link_path = arrayList.get(position).getLink();
        holder.date.setText(date_path);
        holder.verse.setText(verse_path);
holder.setItemClickListener(new ItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(activity, AudioPlayerActivity.class);
        activity.startActivity(intent);

    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return arrayList.size();
    }

MainActivity.java

 mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Global");
        mDatabase.keepSynced(true);
        mRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.main_recyclerview);
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
        mDatabase.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                ArrayList<Sermon> arrayList = (ArrayList<Sermon>) dataSnapshot.getValue();
                mainRecyclerAdapter = new MainRecyclerAdapter(arrayList, MainActivity.this);
                mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mainRecyclerAdapter);
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
                String error = databaseError.toString();
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Error : " + error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

Error:

Firebase nodes are a combination of a key and a value. This means that reading the node leads to a Map<String, Sermon> and not to a List<Sermon>.

You'll need to loop over the children of the DataSnapshot and get the sermon from each in turn:

public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
    ArrayList<Sermon> sermons = new ArrayList<>();
    for (DataSnapshot sermon: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
        sermons.add(sermon.getValue(Sermon.class));
    }

    mainRecyclerAdapter = new MainRecyclerAdapter(arrayList, MainActivity.this);
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mainRecyclerAdapter);
}
