Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men”
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men”
The message on Sunday kicked
off our new series CROSSOVER-UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The major theme of the
night was passion. We looked at the above verse from the book
of Colossians. If you look at the Greek word
for “heartily" it is soul. This verse is encouraging
us to be intentional with our actions and to carry out all tasks big or small
with a passion that radiates from within our soul. It has often been said
that the current generation of youth is apathetic. We have seen the
potential within our students when the intent and action are fueled by
passion.
Our sincere hope is that our students
will become increasingly more passionate about their faith. There is a
beautiful worship song by Jesus Culture that sums this up well.
“Set a fire down in my soul,
That I can’t contain and I can’t control,
I want more of You God, I want more of You God.”
That I can’t contain and I can’t control,
I want more of You God, I want more of You God.”
We asked the students to reflect this
week on their passions. What are they passionate about? Is it a subject
in school, a sport, a cause, an art form, etc.? Once they have recognized
their passions and gifts, we want to help them look at how they can use
that passion in their everyday lives, in their school, and in their community. Ask
yourself what are my passions?
