PASSIONARIES (aka: “Dangerous Dads”)

Igniting and Aligning Your Passions with the Purposes and Heart of Jesus

Father’s Day 2018

Matthew 9:35-38

What are you passionate about?  What is the cry of your heart?  What moves you?

 The Law of the Heart:  You can separate your passions from what you think and do!

If this is true, then possessing the right passions becomes the most important issue of life!

Passionaries = “passionate visionaries who take positive actions and significantly change the lives of others.”– Jesus Christ was the ultimate PASSIONARY!

The PASSION OF JESUS – “True life is all about people and relationships.”

1. A compassionate HEART for the needs of people!

“He had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless,

like sheep without a shepherd.”– v. 36

2. An optimistic HOPE for the future of people!

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”– v. 37 

3. An urgent appeal for HELP in the pursuit of people!

“Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field.”– v. 38
