Zeal or Passion?

Zeal or Passion?

Zeal Is More!

• Galatians 4:18

– It is fine to be zealous, provided

the purpose is good, and to be so

always, not just when I am with

you. (NIV)

– If someone is eager to do good

things for you, that's all right; but

let them do it all the time, not just

when I'm with you. (NLT)

Zeal Is Resistible!

• Psalm 119:139

My zeal wears me out, for my

enemies ignore your words.

Zeal Is Resistible!

1. Zeal expects to have to pull

others along.

2. Zeal seldom feels matched step

for step.

3. Zeal doesn’t get bitter when

others don’t get it.

Zeal Is Creatable!

• Romans 12:11

• Never be lacking in zeal, but

keep your spiritual fervor,

serving the Lord.

• 2 Timothy 1:6

... I remind you to fan into

flame the gift of God ...

Zeal Is Indispensible!

1. Respect it It is your job to reciprocate.

2. Repent Sin will sap your zeal.

3. Remember Think about the good things.

4. Relate Get with the people who have it.

Talk to God about it.

5. Renew Decide to exhibit it regardless of the resistance.

Become solution oriented not analysis oriented.

Priorities Show Zeal

Matthew 6:19-21 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on

earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and

where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store

up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where

moths and vermin do not destroy, and where

thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where

your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Priorities Show Zeal

Matthew 6:31-34 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we

eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall

we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these

things, and your heavenly Father knows that

you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom

and his righteousness, and all these things will

be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not

worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will

worry about itself. Each day has enough

trouble of its own.

The Situation

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,

I got the feeling that something ain't right,

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,

Clowns to the left of me,

Jokers to the right, here I am,

Stuck in the middle with you,

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,

Stuck in the middle with you.

The Situation

Ephesians 2:1-3 1As for you, you were dead in your

transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to

live when you followed the ways of this world

and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the

spirit who is now at work in those who are

disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them

at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh

and following its desires and thoughts. Like the

rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
