Purposeful Passion
by Rex Yancey
Two cowboys had fallen on hard times. They had heard about the U. S. Calvary. They were hired as bounty hunters and offered ten dollars for each Apache they brought in. Their first night out, they camped in the open plain. When one of them woke the next morning, he saw a thousand apaches’s surrounding their camp, armed to the teeth. He shook his partner awake and said, ‘‘Wake up, Tex. We’re rich!’’That’s purposeful passion. Tonight we are studying about a man who was handpicked by the Lord to be one of his apostles. His name is Simon Zelotes, or Simon the Canaanite. Canaanite is a Hebrew derivative for Zealot...
Renewing Your Passion for America (8 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
Today we are going to talk about ‘‘Renewing Your Passion For America.’’ I trust you have a passion for America. But I believe among believers that passion needs to be renewed in a spiritual sense. So I want us to look at the message today ‘‘Renewing Your Passion For America’’ in Psalm 33:12 and Psalm 9:17. Psalm 33:12 ‘‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.’’God said this to the nation of Israel. He wasn’t talking about the nation of America specifically but you know it is a principle that can apply to any nation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. If you stop...
Regaining My Perspective and Passion for the Real Jesus (2 of 4)
by Frank Damazio
INTRODUCTION: ‘‘Who is this Jesus? He lived two thousand years ago, in an obscure town, in an obscure country, during a relatively dark period in human history that was dominated by the Roman Empire. Yet He stands unequaled and unparalleled in the phenomenal greatness of His life as well as in the stunning impact He has had on history. As we turn the corner into a new millennium and gaze back at the last two thousand years, a handful of individuals seem to rise up from our history pages-individuals whose lives or words or accomplishments impacted the entire human race, for good or for bad. Names like Julius Caesar...
The Passion of One's Friendship (3 of 10)
by Donald Cantrell
On one occasion, Peppermint Patty said to Marcie: ''I'd like to read this book, Marcie, but I'm kind of afraid. I had a grandfather who didn't think much of reading.'' She continued by saying, ''He always said that if you read too many books, your head would fall off.'' Marcie responds, ''You start the first chapter, and I'll hold onto your head!'' Friend, hold on to friends and let them hold on to you so that we will all save face by facing the future as people who will know and do God's Word. Paul was willing to help his friends out and through his mediation he was going to salvage the usefulness of a slave to his master. This is an awesome...
A Passion for God: Unity of the Spirit
by David Cawston
Introduction: One of the greatest tragedies of the century in the church has been has been the divisions that have remained among us. A great strategy for warfare is to divide and conquer. If it is possible to take the enemies troops and cause them to concentrate on several fronts at one time, it is possible to defeat them. So likewise that has been the strategy that the enemy of our souls has used against the church of Jesus Christ. If we are really truly seeking revival, it will not come to just one group. It will come through His body, the church. But it is important that you and I really learn to grow, to grow to the level that we recognize, that...
Reigniting Passion (2 of 3)
by Michael Romero
Introduction: We are continuing to discuss the idea of ‘‘Experiencing Holy Spirit Power’’ in our lives and in our church. I find that when groups of people become God-watchers and there is a hum among God’s people about the latest thing God is doing in someone’s life or in the church things get pretty exciting. It completely changes the meaning of what church means. It is not only something that is good for you and as many people might think - wards off evil spirits or something - it means that people actually want to spot the places where God is moving and ride the wave. They don’t want to sit around trying to find things to talk...
The Dance of Passion (1 of 2)
by Kerry Shook
‘‘Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, ‘You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly. So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of...
A Life of Passion (11 of 11)
by Dave Gustavsen
Okay…back in early November we started reading a letter that Paul the Apostle wrote to a young pastor named Timothy. And these guys had spent a lot of time together, but now Paul had moved on, and he had left Timothy in charge of this church in Ephesus. So Paul wrote this letter to Timothy to remind him how church is supposed to work. Jesus said, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. So this movement that Timothy was a part of, and that we're a part of, is supernatural. Humans didn't invent this! Jesus did! And he promised that it cannot be stopped. I love that passage in the book of Acts...
Impacting Our World: Becoming a Person of Influence and Passion (6 of 7)
by Rick White
Message Truth: God calls every believer to be His spokesperson and to carry the message of Jesus to other people. Introduction: In his book Christian Counter-Culture, John R.W. Stott has this to say: ‘‘If the beatitudes describe the essential character of the disciples of Jesus, the salt and light metaphors indicate their influence for good in the world.Yet the very notion that Christians can exert a healthy influence in the world should bring us up with a start. What possible influence could the people described in the beatitudes exert in this hard, tough world? What lasting good can the poor and the meek do, the mourners and the...
Purpose And Passion
by Kenneth Boa
"Just turn right after the railroad tracks. You can't miss it." Locals have a quaint way of giving directions to lost motorists. They make a lot of assumptions. "Go past the Johnson's old farm to where the grocery store used to be." They forget about the fork in the road or the new traffic signal. "You can't miss it," they insist. But the problem is that while THEY may not be able to miss it, WE often do. And, after traveling 15 or 20 miles out of our way, we have to turn around, go back to that last intersection and ask for directions again.Sometimes we move through life thinking we can't miss it. The next turn will be so obvious...
Restoring the Passion
by J. Gerald Harris
There is a bumper sticker that reads: ''Get involved - the world is run by those who show up.'' Little is accomplished by those who sleep in. By those who are stuck in their ''comfort zone.'' By the spectators. By those who sit on the sidelines. And may I say that the change agents in our society are not just those who show up, but those who show up with a passion and a purpose for living. I have a friend who has a ministry to ''bikers.''He spoke to a group of Georgia Baptists not long ago and he was challenging us to rise above the level of mediocrity; and he quoted a motto embraced by the motorcycle gang known as ''Hell's Angels...
A Passion for the Lost (9 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
We are continuing our series on ''Renewing Your Passion For Life.'' Today we want to talk about ''A Passion For The Lost.'' We have been known through the years as a church that has a passion for the lost, and that is because you as individuals have had a passion for the lost. It is not a church that has a passion, but it is individuals that have a passion for the lost. And if all of us individuals have a passion, then we will truly be a church who has a passion, a fire, a zeal to see people who are lost without Christ come to know Him. Lost, unchurched people who do not have a church home, outside of His family, who do not know...
Despised Deliver (1 of 4)
by Stephen Whitney
Our word telephone comes from the Greek word meaning far voice as a persons voice is transmitted over a long distance on a wire. On March, 10, 1876 the first successful telephone transmission of clear speech using a liquid transmitter when Alexander Graham Bell spoke into his device, ‘‘Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.’’ and Watson heard each word distinctly. He was the one awarded a patent for the electric telephone. Early telephones were operated by a hand-cranked generator. They had a ringer made of two bells, a bell coil, an induction coil, a battery, a magneto, a hand crank, a receiver and a transformer. They...
Jesus' Passion and Prayers
by T. Carlton Richardson
Summary: Viewed from a prayer perspective Jesus' ordeal from His arrest at Gethsemane to His crucifixion at Calvary provides a most striking example of the interrelationship between the act or struggle in prayer and how God responds or expresses His love for us because we are obedient to ask. Throughout His period of trial Jesus stayed connected to God which gave Him the faith and strength to overcome injustice, deprivation, abuse, and rejection. Our Emanuel -- God with us -- not only taught us to pray "Thy will be done", but in His last days showed us how the power of prayer helps will help us find joy "in the Lord" even though...
The Rejection of Jesus (1 of 4)
by Jonathan McLeod
1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground;he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by mania man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. THE IDENTITY OF THE SERVANT This week I caught a few minutes of Oprah's Favorite Things episode. You have probably seen one of these episodes. Oprah reveals all...
Passion (6 of 6)
by Miles McPherson
Tucson? Tucson. Where in Arizona? Gilbert, you know where Gilbert, Arizona is? Far away from Tucson? A little town. Ok, Minnesota, Minnesota. See you can't say Minnesota, you got to say Minnesowta. There's a w in Minnesota. Yes. Anybody else? Yes? Germany. How do you say hello in German? Did she say hello? Ok, hello. Anybody else? Yes? Oh Brazil, caio, owey-owey is it owey? Owey-owey-owey. Caio is bye? Owey, caio. Yes? Brazil? Owey. He's from Brazil too? Are you from Brazil? Yeah you're from Brazil. You're from Brazil? Buhza-bouzah-bel. Yes? Minnesowta. Yes? Oregon. Are you visiting?...
The Crucifixion of Jesus
by Zach Terry
Opening Illustration: There is little town in Alabama that I have preached in a few times where the major livelihood used to be raising cotton. One year, when everyone thought they were going to have a bumper crop, a little insect called the ‘‘boll weevil’’ invaded, devastated the crop, and destroyed the economy of that little town. But there were some farmers there who were determined not just to sit back and move into the poor house. One man got the idea that he could plant peanuts instead, because boll weevils don’t like peanuts. Another farmer decided to plant peanuts and others followed suite and before long, bumper...
Jesus and His Passion (3 of 13)
by Donald Cantrell
Jesus was nailed to a cross with heavy, square wrought-iron nails through His wrists and through His feet. He hung there for several hours. When His body slumped, excruciating, fiery pain would shoot along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain - the nails in the wrists were putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushed himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, he placed the full weight on the nail through his feet. Again he felt the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of the feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through the muscles, knotting them in deep...
A Passion For Souls
by Jesse Hendley
In Luke the fifth chapter, verse 10, we have the record of one of Peter's great crises (he had many, as you know) when the Lord Jesus said to him, ''Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.'' PETER'S CRISIS This is not the first time Peter really came in contact with the Lord Jesus. You remember, he met Him down in Judea when his own brother brought him to the Lord (John 1:28, 40-42), but he had gone back to his fishing nets in Galilee. Peter was saved in Judea, he loved the Lord, but he was not winning souls. The Lord came to him and gave him a blessing, and then Peter said, ''Depart from me for I am a sinful man, 0 Lord...
