EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS FOR ZION: GOD’S PASSION FOR HIS CHURCH

Описание: EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS FOR ZION: GOD’S PASSION FOR HIS CHURCH

Scripture Text: Zechariah 8:2

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am exceedingly jealous for Zion; yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.”

In this sermon from Zechariah 8:2, we reflect on the zeal of God—a zeal that is not selective or occasional, but consistent and all-encompassing in all His works. From creation to His continual sustaining and governing of all things, every work of God testifies to His divine zeal.

Yet Scripture reveals that God’s zeal reaches its fullest and most intense expression in His concern for the Church. The Lord declares that He is exceedingly zealous for Zion—not merely in emotion, but in purpose, action, and covenant faithfulness.

This message explores three specific ways in which God’s exceeding zeal is displayed toward His Church:

God is zealous for His Word
God is zealous for purity and integrity in the Church
God is zealous for the building of His Church

This sermon calls the Church to examine whether our priorities, ministries, and worship align with what God Himself is zealous for, and to respond with reverence, obedience, and faithful service.
