Christian Zeal
Sermon by Richard T. RitenbaughZeal has been discredited as the tool of the charlatan, but Christians must develop passion and zeal for the Christian way of life and the Kingdom of God.
Teach Your Children
Sermonette by Bill CherryGod calls us to have a deep passion for Him, to love Him with all our heart, soul, and strength, and to keep His Word in our hearts. This passion must be the foundation of our lives, guiding our actions and interactions, filling us with the abundant joy and excitement that comes from obeying His laws. Like David, who exemplified such fervor for God, we should be moved by a profound love and trust in Him. David's passion was evident as he marveled at creation, wrote hymns of praise, and confidently faced Goliath, declaring his faith in the Lord God of Israel to deliver him from danger. His heart and mind were fixed on God, driving him to act boldly in defense of His name. When we cultivate this same passion for God and embed His words in our hearts, we have something invaluable to pass on to our children. We can offer them an example of righteous living, share our knowledge of the Scriptures, and instill in them confidence, faith, and love. This passion becomes a guiding light for their lives, equipping them to navigate the world with the strength and joy that come from living according to God's way. As parents, we are uniquely positioned to teach our children this love for God, demonstrating through our lives the happiness that flows from His path and building in them a protective faith to shield against the falsehoods and strife of the world.
