When Passion and Purpose Meet.
Here is one of my early ones.
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

-But in our spiritual lives, when our Purpose meets our Passion, the results are always electrifying.
-Lets examine Purpose for a bit.
-We have several purposes in this life.
-First and Foremost¦. We were created to praise Him¦
a. The bible tells us that He inhabits the praises of His people
b. The word praise is used over 250 times.
- Folks, God wants our praise¦
- It is an imperative¦
- But there is more to why we are alive...
- We are all called to fulfill a purpose in this life.
- This purpose is to serve God in whatever burden He has placed
on your heart.
- The worst thing you can do with Gods calling, is to sit on it.
- Aside from not being saved at all, there is not a worse place to be
in life.
- Each of us has been called of God to serve a purpose in His
kingdom.
- Each of us has been given a different burden and direction in our
lives that we sense is the purpose we need to fulfill for His glory.
*- There is a purpose that I have recognized in myself that is not
yet fulfilled.
- I also sense that it is burning tonight in the hearts of many others.
- The unattained purpose is my personal fulfillment of The Great Commission.
- The G.Com., can be summed up in the first 2 words of the verse
we find it in.
- Go Ye
