Read OnlineJesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:35–36Jesus was quite zealous for souls. Zeal is an energy, a passion and a drive to accomplish some task. The task that Jesus was zealous for was the conversion of every heart that He encountered. As He walked from town to town, encountering person after person, Jesus could see into their hearts. He saw that so many people were “troubled and abandoned.” He could see they were like “sheep without a shepherd.” And this moved Him to compassion with a zeal to become their Shepherd, to remove the trouble from their hearts and to let them know they were invited to belong to His new Kingdom.The image of Jesus encountering numerous people who were troubled and abandoned is a good image to ponder. The reason is that this is us. Each one of us has our own interior troubles. We can feel alone, confused, uncertain and lost at times. The person who doesn't feel this way is either a perfect saint or is not being honest. Deep holiness and union with God does, of course, cure this interior struggle that many have. In that case, the person clearly knows they belong to the family of God, understands himself or herself as a son or daughter of God, and finds deep peace in this truth. But for those who struggle, this Scripture passage is especially for you.First of all, to be “troubled” could be caused by many things. For some, they struggle with memories of the past, broken relationships, a lack of direction, serious sin, anger and the like. So the first question to honestly ponder is whether or not you have a troubled heart. Even the greatest of saints will find some areas they struggle with. So what is that for you?Secondly, feeling “abandoned” is a heavy cross. The reason Jesus came was to enable us to belong to His family. That is accomplished by the gift of eternal salvation which must begin now. By receiving the forgiveness of sins and growing in a life of prayer, we come to know God in a very intimate and personal way. Yes, He is the Almighty God and Creator of all. But He is also deeply personal and intimate, and He wants to form a real relationship of love with you.If you struggle with either of these, being troubled and/or abandoned, then consider the zeal that Jesus has for you. His tireless and extensive travels, by foot, while He was engaging in His public ministry, should be seen as a sign to you of His zeal to come to you, personally, to become your Shepherd. He wants to lift every burden and clear the way for you to discover your place in His family. The “Gospel of the Kingdom” that Jesus preached was one that invited everyone to become a member of that Kingdom. As He comes to you, know that His heart is filled with compassion for you, just as it was when He traveled the countryside so long ago. He sees you, gazes at your heart with love, and never takes His eyes off of you in your need, weakness and sin.Reflect, today, upon the zeal that Jesus has for your own eternal salvation and holiness of life. You cannot make it through this world without Him. Let Jesus seek you out, come to you, speak to you and invite you to allow Him to shepherd you. He wants to do so with every fiber of His being; let Jesus fulfill His mission in you.My divine Shepherd, You seek out all people with the greatest of zeal and compassion. You see every hurting and broken heart, and You desire to heal each one. Thank You for coming to me, dear Lord, for being my Shepherd and Guide. Help me to see You as You gaze at me in my weakness and pain. And help me to open my heart to You now and throughout my life. I love You, my Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Rembrandt, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

What happens when earthly power collides with divine justice? We look at 2 Kings 9-10 and Jehu's dramatic rise and the vindication of those oppressed under Ahab and Jezebel. We discover that true peace cannot coexist with idolatry and that our individual faithfulness truly matters to God. Yet Jehu's story also warns us about the dangers of self-serving zeal, challenging us to steward our influence with genuine faithfulness. Listen now and be inspired to pursue authentic faithfulness while trusting in God's perfect justice.
Send us a textWelcome:This episode looks at how Israel, in the aftermath of a horrifying crime, rushes to act — with justice on their side but without first waiting on God. Their initial victories turn tragic, resulting in staggering losses and a near-eradication of a tribe. The story reveals a critical truth: even when we do the right thing, we can get it terribly wrong if we get ahead of God.Key Verse:“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” — John 15:5Takeaway: Justice without God becomes vengeance. Zeal without wisdom leads to ruin. Stay close to the Lord — and don't just follow His Word… follow Him.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
King Hezekiah reacts to the Assyrian threat with faith in the LORD as Hezekiah goes directly to the LORD in the temple and sends for the prophet Isaiah. The LORD responds with a promise to Hezekiah through the prophet, even as Assyria counters with lies and taunts of its own. When Hezekiah receives a letter from the Assyrian king, Hezekiah lays the letter before the LORD in the temple in prayer, and the LORD again answers through the prophet Isaiah with words that promise deliverance for Judah in Hezekiah's days and deliverance for all people through the Christ to come. The LORD makes good on His promise by slaying the entire Assyrian army and bringing about the death of the Assyrian king in the temple of his worthless idol. Rev. Martin Dressler, pastor at Salem Lutheran Church in Black Jack, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 19:1-37. To learn more about Salem Lutheran, visit www.salembjmo.org. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

In May, I spoke with four leaders who are reshaping what finance can do – and who it can serve.In this compilation episode, I've pulled together the most powerful ideas, turning points, and takeaways from those conversations. If something resonates, you can dive deeper – the links to each full episode are below.Here's the list of featured guests:Nasir Qadree, Founder and Managing Partner of Zeal Capital PartnersNasir launched Zeal in early 2020 – right as the pandemic began. For many, it seemed like the worst possible timing. For him, it was exactly the right moment.He saw a market that wasn't working for most entrepreneurs – and a venture ecosystem that kept recycling capital into the same places, the same profiles, and the same narrow definitions of potential.Zeal's model is built around what Nasir calls “inclusive investing” – a five-part framework designed to widen the lens on where and how capital gets deployed.Full episodeHadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos Investment ManagementHadewych joined Triodos right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. While other banks were collapsing under the weight of financial engineering, Triodos kept growing – because they weren't in the business of making money with money. Their investments were grounded in the real economy, and that made all the difference.Today, Hadewych leads the firm's €6 billion portfolio across what they call five transition themes: food, resources, energy, society, and well-being.Her mission is bigger than impact investing. It's about transforming the financial sector itself.Full episodeRomina Reversi, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Investment Banking Americas at Crédit Agricole CIBRomina started her career in equity derivatives at J.P. Morgan – a role she calls foundational for everything that came next. But in 2015, she pivoted into a niche team focused on green bonds. She was one of the earliest hires in J.P. Morgan's ESG debt capital markets group, helping to shape the playbook as they went.Now at Crédit Agricole, she leads sustainable investment banking for the Americas – overseeing ESG advisory, green and sustainability-linked financing, and supply chain solutions.Her team helped launch the first U.S. corporate green bond tied to nuclear energy, and structured the world's first sovereign bond with a step-up/step-down coupon tied to emissions and biodiversity targets.Full episodeMichele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund ManagementMichele was asked to advise the UK Treasury's Social Investment Task Force, chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen. That experience led directly to the founding of Bridges, with a white sheet of paper and £10 million in catalytic government funding. The idea: to show that financial returns and social impact didn't have to be at odds.Today, Bridges has over £2 billion in assets under management across private equity, real estate, and outcomes contracts. Every investment aligns with one of two goals: building a more inclusive economy or a more sustainable planet. Their theory of change is simple – use financial capital to tackle systemic challenges, and value creation will follow.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

Send us a textIs eliminating HR departments the bold new frontier in business leadership, or a recipe for legal disasters? We dive into a provocative New York Post op-ed that's generating tons of views by claiming HR has evolved from protecting companies to enforcing "woke ideology." The rage-bait article from a former Levi's executive proudly announces her intention to run a company without HR, complete with intentional misgendering and rejection of workplace respect policies. We break down why this approach isn't just misguided—it's potentially catastrophic from both business and legal perspectives.Between fits of justified outrage, we explore the real-world situations HR professionals navigate daily, including new hire orientation snafus, handbook questions that could be self-solved, and the delicate balance of workplace dress code enforcement. Our discussion reveals how quality HR actually protects businesses while supporting employees, contrary to the mischaracterization of HR as "head girls" and "hall monitors."The conversation takes fascinating detours into international workplace language differences, the evolution of HR as a strategic function, and why so many managers blame HR for decisions they themselves make. We also touch on SHRM's announcement of Joe Biden as a 2025 keynote speaker and what this signals about the organization's positioning.Whether you're an HR professional tired of your profession being maligned or a business leader wondering about HR's true value, this episode offers critical insights into what happens when companies mistake HR for the enemy rather than a strategic partner in business success.

Big Idea: When God-given means become self-exalting ends, faithful men become martyrs. 1. (6.8-15) Stephen accused: You want to destroy the temple and change the law 2. (7:1-53) Stephen's defense: God is never confined, you resist his spirit 3. (7:54-60) Stephen's Sentence: Public Stoning in false Zeal because of true testimony Discussion Questions: 1. What practices or “good things” in our church life today are in danger of slipping from means to ends, and how can we guard against that shift? 2. Stephen charges the council with always resisting the Spirit (7:51). What are practical signs that we might be resisting the Spirit's leading in our own lives? 3. Saul watched Stephen die and later became Paul. How does this long-range impact of Stephen's witness encourage us when our own faithfulness seems fruitless or costly? Share examples where perseverance eventually bore unexpected fruit.

In today's episode for June 23rd, 2025, your host Hunter invites you to journey through day 174 of our Bible reading plan. Together, we'll explore dramatic chapters from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, witnessing the intense zeal of Jehu and the tumultuous shifts in Israel and Judah's leadership. We'll also learn about God's heart for caring for one another from Paul's wisdom in 1 Timothy 5.

TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jehu's Zeal and the Zeal of the Lord Jehu's devotion was extreme and violent. He personified a radical devotion and zeal for the Lord. The results were the elimination of Baal worship in Judah—and many dead people. Like Jehu, our own devotion and zeal, as great as it might be, may yield results, but it's not the ultimate answer that we're looking for. Sometimes those results have nothing to do with God. Our real need is for peace, not violence. Our real need is for right standing with God and joy in this life. Our zeal might get results, but it's not the results we really need. The zeal of the most zealous man is not enough. Holy Jihad is not the answer. There is only one man whose zeal can achieve what must be done in my life and in this world—and it's not Jehu, or you, or me who achieves it. The results are not the shedding of another's blood, but rather it was God's radical commitment to lay down his life in co-suffering love for the whole world, for those near and far, that accomplishes what is needed. Jehu is a flawed picture of this. In Isaiah 9, we see a far better picture of the person who would accomplish freedom for us: “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The zeal of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen.” His zeal—not Jehu's—has won for you and for me all that we need to start anew, to have strength, to have joy, to have a new beginning. Rest in the results of his zeal and no one else's. No one else will do. Christ has done for us what no man could do. He has achieved for us life. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, and for my loved ones. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today, Let my words carry your kindness, my actions reflect your mercy, my thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Hunter: Amen. Hunter (leading the Lord's Prayer): And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

As Jehu continues to kill the descendants of Ahab, he shows zeal for the task that the LORD has assigned, but his zeal also leads him to act in evil and underhanded ways that go beyond what the LORD has assigned. Jehu shrewdly brings an end to the priests and worshipers of Baal in the northern kingdom, but as he reigns in Israel, he never turns from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Because Jehu does accomplish some positive things in Israel, the LORD grants the family of Jehu to reign for four generations. Rev.

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." Romans 10:1-4
Summary"Sin doesn't play fair”In this powerful Sunday morning message, preached just before the Guam Conference, Pastor Joe Campbell speaks with raw conviction and timeless wisdom about the deadly nature of sin. At 83 years old, with over five decades of pastoring behind him, Pastor Campbell calls out the modern culture that seeks to redefine sin and silence conviction.He shares heart-wrenching stories from his ministry—young lives full of promise destroyed by sin, and families torn apart by compromise. But he also declares the liberating power of confession, repentance, and forsaking sin. From his own dramatic salvation in 1971 to witnessing God's faithfulness through every storm, this message is an altar call for a generation at risk of losing its fear of God.

Adam Hamilton, a seasoned expert in gold stocks with over two decades of experience, emphasizes the importance of strategically selecting investments within the gold mining sector. He advocates for focusing on mid-tier miners, which he believes offer superior growth potential compared to major miners. These mid-tier companies, operating at 300,000 to 1,000,000 ounces annually, are more agile and capable of expanding their operations effectively. Hamilton highlights their lower costs and better ability to generate cash flows, making them a more attractive investment option. In contrast, major miners often struggle with high costs and face challenges such as overpaying for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), leading to diluted earnings. Their large market capitalizations make it difficult for them to grow production sustainably, unlike mid-tier miners which can achieve significant growth through new projects. Hamilton also discusses the cyclical nature of exploration spending within the industry. Recent years have seen reduced exploration activity due to unfavorable market conditions, potentially leading to a future supply deficit. He underscores the importance of diversification in investment strategies, advising against overcommitting to any single asset. Instead, he recommends spreading investments across various sectors to mitigate risk. During periods like the summer doldrums, Hamilton suggests that investors use this time for thorough research and homework to identify undervalued opportunities. He encourages a patient approach, noting that buying windows may be brief once favorable conditions arise.

He started investing in stocks when he was 12 years old, using money from summer jobs. He grew up fascinated by stock markets, dreaming of making a living in this unique realm where compensation is not limited by time on task like most other professions. After growing up in a small-town banking family in rural North Dakota, Adam left for school at the University of Colorado at Boulder. While watching the markets and trading, he studied finance, accounting, and entrepreneurship. Adam went on to be a Big Six CPA and consultant after graduation, never stopping learning. By early 2000, Adam finally had enough experience and capital to found Zeal at 25 years old. Rather than hide his research and trading work in a hedge fund, Adam wanted to help others thrive in the markets. So he started sharing his now-world-famous market research work through very-affordable newsletters. Customers raved, and many millions of dollars of newsletter sales later Adam was blessed to become a self-made millionaire. He is very thankful to be living his dream, and plans to research, trade, and share wisdom through newsletters for the rest of his life. Adam is a Christian saved by Jesus Christ. He and his wife are greatly blessed with 2 children, and they live in Colorado.
IntroductionThe picture in our home of Jesus knocking on the door – all the hidden messages! No way to open the door from the outside - “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”Revelation 3:20 the heart of Jesus – the darkness on the inside, a ram's head? rose of Sharon? “I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women.” Song of Songs 2:1-2 NIV Read Text - John 2:13-25 The pictures in the storyThey point to the big event setting the stage for the main Passover eventThe 3rd day reference to the resurrectionThe Passover, the Lamb of God here, John 7 and later comes the climax of salvation…The whip and purificationSigns of authority – Jonah Crowds that believeThe staircase events of John 1:51- heaven touching earthPreparation for persecutionHow does this fit in with the image you have of Jesus?An angry guy? With your image of the loving gentle Jesus?Notice the whip?Understanding the situation: the influx of people to the Passover ca. 2 million and the temple tax – ½ shekel was worth 2 weeks labor for a common laborer, or a ½ week for a skilled laborer. (50 shekels was a good wage.) Today a comparison would have been ca. $2000 plus an animal from dove to sheep and goats or oxen. Imagine the noise, the smells, the bargaining, and the shouting going on in a marketplace! Photos! Bargaining and kickbacks in the marketplace that was to be a house of prayer for the nations! David Pawson suggests 4 reasons why Jesus was so angry:Laziness and convenience?Exploitation?Nationalism?Misappropriation? – And, and: “for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”” Isaiah 56:7 What authority did Jesus have?He is the Son of God, the real High Priest: “It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.” Hebrews 9:23-24 He is the Messiah of Israel: Malachi 3:1-4 ““I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.” Malachi 3:1-4 He is the temple of God – that is his authority to cleanse How does it affect us? We become believers when we see the signs“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19) “In (him) you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:22) Jesus has authority to cleans the temple! Is he cleansing your temple? What are the hindrances? David Pawson writes: “is your body just a library to be stuffed with knowledge? Is your body a bank, a place for gathering money? Is your body a playhouse, simply for pleasure? Is your body a pigsty where slimy passions rule? Or is your body a temple where God lives?”Let's examine the 4 possible reasons why Jesus cleansed the temple:Convenience - Exploitation – Nationalization - Misappropriation

In a world that often tolerates fear, timidity, and passivity, God is calling His people to rise with boldness—not a boldness rooted in personality or pride, but one fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel was never meant to be consumed quietly, but to be proclaimed powerfully.In June, Pastor Josh, Will lead us as we discover what it truly means to walk in Holy Ghost Boldness—the kind of courage that shakes rooms, opens doors, and speaks truth no matter the cost. We'll explore what it looks like for men, fathers, and leaders to rise with Bold Courage, how to walk with Bold Faith that defies circumstance, and how to have a Bold Approach to God—confident, unashamed, and full of expectation.“When they had prayed… they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:31It's time to get BOLD. Because Power is not a thing of the past—God is moving today.#bold #sermonseries #overflowdfwSupport the show

Throughout this series, we will explore the rich layers of meaning found within John 2:

Send me a Text Message! (I can't directly respond, but I can answer questions and share comments in upcoming episodes! According to Noah Webster, Zeal is the Passionate ardor in the pursuit of any thing; it is an eagerness of desire to accomplish or obtain some object. Zeal that accomplishes good and godly things must be rooted in knowledge and be disciplined. Today we will throw off impulsive fervor and learn why knowledge is critical when living zealously for the Lord. --------------Zeal for God must be rooted in knowledge and discipline.Francis Turretin Four reasons why our zeal must be rooted in knowledge:That we may distinguish truth from falsehood, as there may be zeal for error and false doctrine as well as for that which is true; That we may understand the comparative importance of things, so as not to make much of what is little, and make little account of what is great; That we may prosecute and defend the truth in the right way, with prudence, firmness, fidelity, and meekness; That our zeal may have the right object, not our own interest and reputation, but the glory of God and the salvation of men. Discipline directs our passions back to God's will. We lay down our ways before God and direct our zeal through His will. ----------My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambershttps://utmost.org/updated/do-it-yourself-2/Read the Bible with me!sheprovesfaithful.com/bibleSupport the showLove wellness products for your whole family?

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJohn 2 The first recorded miracle of Jesus' ministry is the turning of water into wine in Cana of Galilee. His mother informs Him that the wine has run out at a wedding feast. While the time has not come for Jesus to show everyone His deity, He honors His mother's request, and He turns six waterpots into wine. This serves to “manifest His glory” to His disciples. Jesus then makes a trip to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. He makes a whip and drives out the money changers in the temple. The Jews ask for a sign as proof of His authority. He speaks of the temple being destroyed and rebuilt in three days. Jesus is referencing His death and resurrection. In Jerusalem, He performs signs, and many believe in Him. The miracles in this chapter demonstrate the love of Jesus. He is easing into public ministry, but at His mother's request, Jesus turns the water into wine. This is a concession He makes out of love, and it encourages everyone. Later, in Jerusalem, while not yet time for Him to die, He still drives greedy Jews out of the temple. He does this because of His passion for bringing honor to His Father. Jesus is motivated by love, and He later dies on the cross to help others and obey God. We should appreciate how much He did out of concern for us, and we should emulate that by helping others and openly showing our love for our heavenly Father. Worthy Lord, You deserve to be loved, worshiped, and obeyed. Your Son believed this so strongly that He drove out those who disrespected Your will. Lord, help us to be like Your Son, emotional about your worthiness and bold in the face of those who disobey You. Show us how to be motivated by love for You, but also our love for other people. Jesus often acted out of compassion and care, even altering His plans to be helpful. Lord, demand this of us. Create opportunities for us to serve others and demonstrate the heart of Christ in observable ways. Thought Questions: - It was clear that Jesus loved His mother. Who in your life is so loved that you honor their requests even when it is not your desire? - The signs of Jesus “manifested His glory” and led to belief. In what ways do the miracles of Jesus lead you to stronger faith in Him? - Zeal for God led Jesus to aggressive behavior in the temple. Is there a time for that, and how must you be cautious in such moments?
