Summary: When one possesses passion and purpose they are mostly unstoppable.
When Passion and Purpose Meet.
Here is one of my early ones.
Acts 8:3
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

-When 2 people meet and fall in love, and many times the result is both fantastic and amazing Sometimes not
-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
