What are you passionate about? Because where your passion is you can also find the future you're heading towards.
As your youth pastors we are passionate about seeing you live your life to its fullest capacity! And I am passionate about seeing you live a life shining the light of Jesus Christ to your schools, to your family and to your friends!
There is nothing more that I want then to see you walk into a room and light it up! Showing everyone that you have something inside that the world didn't give and the world can't take it away!
This month at One Way as we study and talk about Worship.
We want you to grab a hold of a passion and LIVE! Really live your life!
Stop going through the motions and let God rock your world!
In Matthew 22:37 (Msg)
Jesus said “Love the lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. This is the most important thing, the first on any list!
God wants us to live a life full of passion! Passion for him! When I think about living with a passion for God. I think about passion I think about when I was 13 years old and my parents bought me my first guitar. My brother showed me a few chords. And for months and months I would sit in my room with my little jam amp rocking out three chords! And this was loud with distortion. As I look back at that time I realize my parents only ever asked me to stop a few times. When most people including myself would have been like “Dude STOP! That's annoying!”.
But my parents seen and realized that I had found a passion for something. Something that was bigger than me. Something that could take me places. Something that people could be proud of and enjoy!
And in the same way we have to find our passion! We have to get a hold of it and pursue our passion for God. Until we reach where we need to be. As a musician I have never stopped learning, and as a Christian with a passion for God and his plan for our lives we have to keep learning. We have to be soft to speak, and quick to listen. We have to have open ears and open opinions. Because you never know when or how God is going to speak or move in your life!
But when we find that passion for him. That's when he gets excited about us! That's when God starts blessing us. When we have a desire to live for him and not ourselves, to surrender our lives to him. To read his word!
We have to get passionate about God and make him our priority.
We need to put his will before ours. We need to ask his opinion before ours. We need to put him 1st in our lives and we need to be second.
We need to make him greater as we become less.
That was the former Guitarist of KORN.
Brian Welch who made a decision to stop focusing his passion towards Drugs, Sex & Rock N Roll. And he made Jesus his passion, He made God number 1. There are some of you who needs to realize that you need to do that.
You need to make God NUMBER 1 in your life. You need become second. See he realized that everything he had going was really nothing.
Because in the eyes of eternity! Your intentions and your ways are not important.
God wants you to get passionate. He wants you to become real and realize there is a way to live that is far better than where you are at now!
Brian Welch quit the band KORN because he realized there was more to lifethan where he was currently at. And he became passionate about Jesus.
Psalms 37.34 says
Wait passionately for God, don't leave. He'll give you your place in the sun. While you watch the wicked lose.
God wants to give you what you need. But we have to show him we are sincere. We have to wait PASSIONATELY for him, don't leave, don't give up.
And he'll take us where we need to be. Today I challenge you to step back and review your life.
Figure out what you need to do to prioritze Jesus Christ and get passionate about him. When we do that... When we get excited about him... The sky becomes the limit to your future.
