“Live Passionately”

Mark 12:30“So Love The Lord God With All Your Passion And Prayer And Intelligence And Energy”

Romans 12:11“Never Be Lacking In Zeal, But

Keep Your Spiritual Fervor, Serving The Lord”

Nothing Great Ever Happens Without Passion!

Howard Thurman Quote:“Don’t Ask What The World

Needs, Ask What Makes You Come Alive And Go Do It! Because What The World

Needs Is People Who Have Come Alive!”

Margin =The Difference Between Your

Load And Your Limit

Mark 5:17-20; 24-2817And they began to

implore Him to leave their region.

18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had

been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he

might accompany Him.

19And He did not let him, but He said to him, "Go

home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had

mercy on you."

20And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great

things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was

amazed.

 24And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and

pressing in on Him.

25A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve

years,

26and had endured much at the hands of many

physicians, and had spent all that she had and was

not helped at all, but rather had grown worse.

27after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the

crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

 28For she thought, "If I just touch His garments, I

will get well."

If We Want To Recapture Our Passion In Life--I Want To Challenge Us To Do What

These Guys Did…

1. Do Something Drastic

Realize What Matters Most…It’s Relationships!

Connect With The People In Our Lives…We Cannot Live

Passionately Without Connection To Others!

2. Expect The Unexpected…

Whenever Your Plans Change It’s Passion That Makes Us

Roll With The Punches, Give It To God And Come Up With A

New Plan!

3. Create God Space…

Mark 1:35-38 35In the early morning,

while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying

there.

36Simon and his companions searched for

Him;

37they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is

looking for You."

 38He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to

the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

A Secret Of Maintaining Our Passion In This Crowded

World…Create God Space/Meet With God!

4. Keep A Constant Reminder…

We Will Naturally Go Back To An Overcrowded Life Without

A Constant Reminder!

Luke 5:24 24"But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--He said to

the paralytic--"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home."
