Our Prayer:
Father, I thank you for your Word which is alive and available to me. As I have made time to learn of You, teach me by your Holy Spirit, open my eyes and my heart to see and understand all that you have for me today, cause me to grow and mature in your ways, in Jesus name, Amen.

I What is Passion?

The Greek definition of the word passion includes a “suffering”, as with the Passion of Christ. Passion within our American culture is defined as a strong feeling, desire, or great enthusiasm. Bringing these definitions together, Christ’s Passion, His love and desire for us, led Him to a place of suffering in order to make a way for us to be reuniting in fellowship with him; here on earth and then eternally in his presence.
- Passion is infectious
- Take care with passion
- Passion becomes our driving force in life.

III. The Power of Passion

Matthew 14:1-36 (w/ emphasis on verses 13-14)

Passion is greater than personal pain or suffering. Passion stands and endures beyond the challenges life can present.

IV. What passion has God placed in me?

– Find your Passion
– If you know it, Pray for Restoration
– Make it Infectious
– Change the World
