John 2:13-25 "Zealous to Dwell with Us" - 9/20/26 (Mackenzie Matthews) by TwoRiversChurch FoCo
This sermon explores the call for Christians to be zealous for what is good, emphasizing that ethical conduct serves as a primary witness to the world. The message argues that while believers may face opposition, their primary response should be to live under the gaze of God rather than fearing human retaliation. It highlights the theological distinction between moral goodness and divine goodness, urging believers to imitate Christ's example of suffering for righteousness' sake without returning evil for evil. The preacher encourages the congregation to set Christ apart as Lord in their hearts, finding blessing and peace in God's providence even when facing persecution. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of excellence and zeal that reflects the character of God, opening the door for effective gospel witness.
4th Step – On Obedience The Ladder of Divine Ascent was written primarily for monks. However, the words of Saint John Climacus at the beginning of the first chapter indicate that his intention is to address every person who longs for salvation. He says: “The gates of eternal life are open to all. The goal of our life is to follow Christ and to become like Him in His divine love.”
St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696 - 1787) was a priest, bishop, spiritual director, retreat leader, musician and composer. Co-founder of the Redemptorists, he was a teacher of prayer, and a very popular confessor, who knew how to bring people to repentance.

Sermon Passage: Matthew 21:12-34 August 30th, 2026, at Harvest Bible Church
Send us Fan MailLong distance parenting plans, blended families, and Arizona child custody look very different from the inside. Billie Tarascio talks with Modern Law attorney Eilen E. Castellano Tatis, who spent her childhood moving between her mom's home in New York and her dad's home in Utah after her parents divorced. Eilen explains what her parents did right, why she still credits them at 26, and how that experience shapes the way she guides Arizona families through divorce and custody today. Eilen E. Castellano Tatis is a family law attorney at Modern Law, serving clients across Arizona in divorce, child custody, and parenting plan matters. She started her career as a homicide prosecutor in Maricopa County, moved to civil litigation at a 170 plus attorney Phoenix firm, and chose family law because it lets her advocate for people instead of entities. She earned her law degree at the University of Arizona and brings courtroom experience plus lived experience to every case.Key Takeaways:- Long distance parenting plans can still build close relationships with both parents- Kids carry the memory of how their parents handled the split- Keep children out of the middle instead of using them as messengers- Remarriage and stepfamilies change the dynamic more than the divorce itself- Parents who protect the other parent's relationship give their kids stability- Zealous advocacy and de-escalation work together in family law- Winning one argument today can cost your client the next ten years- Ask what you are actually trying to accomplish before you escalate- Family law rewards emotional intelligence as much as legal skill- Separate what feels upsetting from what needs a legal response- Criminal cases end at sentencing while family cases shape the future- Choose mentors who want you to outgrow themChapters:00:00 Meet Eilen Castellano Tatis00:58 Growing up between two households04:31 How her parents kept her out of the conflict07:41 The moment that led her to law10:29 Homicide prosecution and the toll it takes13:44 Why she moved to family law15:42 When to fight and when to de-escalate22:34 Cycling, mentors, and life outside court28:37 The clients and cases she wants mostConnect with Eilen E.

Discover how to remain zealous in ministry even when tested. In Four Reminders For Zealous Ministry, learn to overcome fear with faith. In this expository sermon on 2 Timothy 1, Pastor Richard Caldwell addresses the very real temptation to shrink back from our calling. The Apostle Paul writes to a younger Timothy who was struggling with timidity and a waning passion for his work. We are reminded that God calls every believer to exercise their spiritual gifts with bold faithfulness rather than shrinking back. When the culture saps our spiritual strength, we must learn how to overcome fear in ministry. God does not give His people a spirit of cowardice but equips them with power, love, and self discipline. We have a personal responsibility to fan into flame the gifts we received at conversion. This message preached at Founders Baptist Church will equip you to steward your spiritual resources well. By trusting in the power of God rather than your own strength, you can serve Christ with renewed vitality. Key Biblical Takeaways: - Zealous ministry is a divine calling that requires you to actively put your spiritual gifts to full use for the church. - Overcoming spiritual fatigue is entirely possible when you make choices dependent on God and obedient to His Word. - Cultivating zeal is a personal responsibility requiring you to take immediate action against listlessness and discouragement. - A fear problem is truly a faith problem, cured only by trusting in the power of God, His love, and the self control He provides in Christ.

What does it look like when a church has nothing good to say for itself? Pastor David Gerkin's message, Be Zealous Therefore and Repent, talks about Revelation 3, where we encounter the church of Laodicea, the only one among the seven churches in Revelation to receive zero commendation from Christ. That alone should stop us in our tracks. The letter paints a striking picture of a congregation so absorbed in worldly comfort and material success that it had become, in Christ's own words, lukewarm. Not cold, not hot, but utterly without spiritual usefulness. The historical backdrop makes this even more vivid. Laodicea was a city of wealth, medical innovation, and fine clothing. Yet Christ tells them they are wretched, poor, blind, and naked. The very things they prided themselves on in the physical world had blinded them to their spiritual poverty. The central challenge this passage puts before us is the danger of apathy, that quiet, creeping indifference toward the things of God that can settle into our lives without us even noticing. When we stop striving for true riches in heaven, when purity before God stops mattering to us, when we lose the ability to see life through a spiritual lens, we are walking the road the Laodiceans walked. The good news is that Christ's correction is also an invitation. He calls them, and us, to zeal, to a wholehearted, resolute pursuit of God that refuses to settle for half-measures.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 7th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Numbers 25:10-11: “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel…” Phinehas was zealous for the word of God. Folks, I want to say to you today, we need to be more zealous, more excited, more passionate, more concerned for the things of God. Because Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, Moses' brother, the High Priest, because of his zeal and his commitment to the Gospel, to saving the people of Israel, the Lord really noticed him. The Lord was so angry with the people of Israel because they had played the harlot with other nations, that He wanted to destroy them, but because of Phinehas' commitment and excitement…I want to ask you a question today. Are you excited about the things of God? You might say, “Uncle Angus, there was a time when I was, but because of the pressures of life and because of the workload, because of the family commitments, I have gone cold.” I want to pray for you today, that God will fill you again with the joy of the Lord and with zeal. You know, they say a new Christian should be locked up for the first six months because he is like a bull in a china shop. I think the Lord prefers that than somebody who just doesn't care anymore, somebody who just goes through the motions. Let me pray for you because we need the fire of God in our hearts, the excitement and joy to finish this race. We won't do it otherwise.Heavenly Father,I pray for my dear friend listening to this message right now. Lord, fill his heart, fill his soul with new fire for Jesus Christ. Lord, open his eyes that he might see there are so many people around him, in the workplace, on the sports field, in the university, in the school, who are desperate for the fire of God. Lord, the fire has almost gone out. There is just a little flame flickering, just flickering. Oh Lord, restore them so that they are zealous for You. I ask this in Jesus' precious name, amen.God bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Zealous to repent and invite Christ in
Today's lesson focuses on the first mention of the word "zealous" or any form of the word. Interestingly, the last mention of that word shows up in God's charge to those living in Laodicea. Unfortunately, there aren't many Phinehas' in Laodicea...will you change that?
THE COMPOSER WHO SURVIVED Colleague Tanya Branigan. This segment focuses on Wang Xilin, a composer and former zealous party member whose career was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Despite his devotion, he was persecuted, subjected to brutal "struggle sessions," and driven to the brink of suicide. His music went unperformed for 37 years. Branigan describes Wang's intense anger when discussing the era, noting that even his family struggles to understand his trauma. Wang later visited Auschwitz, drawing parallels between the Holocaust and the suffering he and others endured, suggesting that for survivors, the past is never truly gone.
