Introduction: If we used the same PASSION in serving our Lord as we do other things, it would make a huge difference! Are you PASSIONATE about having the privilege of being a part of God’s plan and purpose for the world? If so, watch out for being “weary in well doing”!

1. Weariness can zap us of our PASSION! (Gal 6:9) – “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Doing good and working hard thru serving the Lord can get a CHRISTIAN tired. Are you tired? Do you need renewing?

2. Worthlessness can zap us of our PASSION! (1Cor 1:26-29) – “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”

Remember our worthiness is not dependent upon our performance. Instead, it is dependent upon our relationship with Jesus Christ and His worthiness that He imputes to us.

3. Worldliness can zap us of our PASSION! (Rom 12:2) – “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

We must be in the world but we do not have to be of the world.
The problem is not when a ship is out in the water. The problem is when the water gets in the ship!

4. Waywardness can zap us of our PASSION! (Rev 2:7) – “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

Although the CHRISTians in Ephesus were busy they had become backslidden. Therefore, Jesus called them – along with us – to repent and return to their first love. Have you slipped alittle bit? Do you need to return to your first love?
