Heart and Passion

Wednesday Night Service - October 6, 2010

Mr. James steps in to teach us the 2nd part of the series on "S.H.A.P.E."
Where is your heart and passion? What are you good at? Have you ever thought about using those things to serve others in ministry? God has given us unique and emotional desires / motivations to make a difference in this world. What is God's purpose for you? Where truly is your passion?

In Psalm 20:4...May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. God has a plan for you. You need to seek Him and His purpose.

You should be asking yourself these questions:
  1. What makes your heart sing?
  2. What breaks your heart?
  3. What are your dreams for your life?
  4. If money were no object, what would you do?
  5. When __________ comes up in a conversation, I could talk all night! (what is your interest?)
  6. How does your heart affect ministry for others?
In the Bible, many people have showed their passion and did something with it:
  • Colossians - some had passions to help other Christians.
  • Philippians - Paul had a passion to serve others.
  • Romans - Paul had a passion for the Romans Road/ABC's of the Gospel...for salvation.
  • 1 Corinthians - some had a passion for serving Saints.
  • Jesus had a passion for all mankind...he died for you, all out of love!
A few of you help others to grow as Christians. Have you ever thought, what ministry gets you excited? Is it helping the elderly, being in the Puppet Team, Choir, etc? Psalm 37:4...delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. God knows what you need...and He will fulfill those needs.

To delight in something means you experienced something that brought you joy. Revelation 17:17...God put a plan in our hearts to accomplish His purpose. What really motivates you to do something to help further the Lord's Kingdom? Discovering what you are passionate about will help you decide what ministry to help in. Pray and ask God to show you where you can serve best in a ministry!
