Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
To be zealous for Christ is to burn with holy passion for Him – loving what He loves, hating what He hates, and living boldly for His glory. In a world that often promotes indifference or compromise, God calls His people to be ablaze with devotion, not lukewarm or passive.
Jesus Himself was consumed with zeal for His Father’s house (John 2:17), and we, His followers, are invited into that same fire. Zeal is not about loud words or flashy deeds – it’s about a heart fully surrendered, eager to serve, quick to obey, and unwilling to settle for half-hearted faith.
But zeal must be anchored in truth. Paul warned of those who had zeal without knowledge (Romans 10:2). Our passion must be rooted in God’s Word, guided by the Spirit, and motivated by love.
Ask yourself today: Am I on fire for Christ or have I grown cold, distracted, or comfortable? Fan the flame through prayer, Scripture, worship, and service. Let your life be a testimony of someone who lives with purpose, urgency, and joy – because Jesus paid it all and Jesus is worth it all.
With love & blessings,
Sandra
