The Big Idea: God makes men by igniting and sustaining a passion within us to love and serve Jesus.
Our city is bulging with bold men who lead passionate lives for the glory of Jesus Christ. These men are overflowing with purpose, meaning, joy and, yes, plenty of opposition and struggles. They're convinced their lives are going somewhere and making a difference. Are you one of those men? Or have you grown weary and lost your passion, or worse, have yet to really find it?
No man ever had more passion than the apostle Paul. He was an on-fire, "let's get 'er done," "I can't keep it in. I've got to tell someone," fight the good fight, do your duty, finish the race kind of guy. Who hasn't wondered, "Where does that kind of passion come from? What would it take for me to live like that?" Now you can know--or refresh your memory! In this lesson you'll learn how God wants to ignite and sustain a passion within you to love and serve Jesus Christ.
