Saturday Morning Sermon - Notes

This is my transcript of the sermon notes (or nuggets - following the camp booklet) for Saturday Morning during the camp... {again, no 100% guarantees on the accuracy/correctness of these notes.)

about Heart of God
Rom. 15:15-21
TITLE: Apostolic Passion
Passion
- something that people are willing to suffer for
- "to suffer with"
Apostolic - Apostle
- sent one; messenger, proclaimer
deliberate, intentional choice
to live for Jesus in a place where Jesus is not worshipped yet.
committed to the point of death to spread His glory.
Not willing to suffer for Jesus => not passionate for Him

How to get apostolic passion?
Not like ordering pizza... Not immediate...
Paul chose to have this apostolic passion. Acts 9.
spend time with Jesus everyday - consumed him.
God has put us in a strategic place.
God placed me there... Reason? Purpose?
  1. Paul understood Apostolic Abandonment.
    Abandonment - Paul learned to die daily. Gal. 2:20
    Paul died to his own ambition, his own achievement.
    Main focus - die to worldly success, selfishness.
    Competing passions. Lordship of Christ - Christ seated on the throne (Guard it!)

  2. Apostolic Focus. life must be focused!
    the Devil wants you to be preoccupied with many things.
    One thing! Don't let your life be preoccupied with many trivial things.
    Must do things that count for eternity.
    Plant the flag of Jesus Christ where His flag isn't planted yet.
    First things first => Making Him known.

  3. Apostolic Praying - powerful weapon
    prayerwalk... pray for people! pull down strongholds.

  4. Apostolic Decision Making Acts 20:24
    Don't make decisions just based on economic sense/ because everyone's doing it.
    Make decisions based on what God has placed in your heart. God's purpose in your heart!!

What will happen to you?
  • You become the Most dangerous person on earth.
  • The World no longer rules your heart.
  • You will be Committed to spreading the Good News.
  • You are Unattached to the World.
  • The Father's Passion becomes your passion.
  • The Father is always with you.
  • Satan fears you.
  • Angels applause you.
