(Matthew 16:18 NLT) ... I will build My church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

(Romans 12:9-11 NLT) Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. |||| Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

(John 2:17 NLT) Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: "Passion for God's house will consume me."

What if we build a church that was passionate about: Bible - Worship - Serving - Prayer - Giving - Inviting - Reaching Unreached - Making A Difference

A people Making A Difference.

We get to see lives& eternities changed.

• Passionate Pursuit

(1 Timothy 6:11-14 NLT) But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. .... that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

We become a voice and not an echo.

• Passion for Prayer

(Matthew 21:13 NIV) "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers.'"

(James 5:16 MSG) 'Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.

Prayer becomes our first response, not last resort.

• Passion for praise and worship.

(Mark 12:30 NLT) And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'

(Hebrews 13:15 NIV) ... let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

We give God what He deserves, not what we feel.

• Passion for People.

People are God's highest priority and they have to be ours.

Every number has a name.

Every name has a story

Every story matters to God.

(John 3:16 NLT) "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
