A Passion For
Souls
Text: Romans 10:1 - 10
When we read the 10th chapter we find something of the great heart of
Paul, who loved the Lord Jesus with such passion. "Brethren, my
heart's desire . . ."
I. What is your heart's desire?
A. He didn't say," My heart's several desires,"
B. He said "My heart's desire."
C. I have one desire, says Paul.
D. I have one consuming passion, says Paul.
E. I have one thing that I want above everything else, says Paul
F. One great thing I desire above every thing else.
G. I've never seen anybody like the Paul of this Book, so I want to
know what his heart's desire is and we would do well to copy this man.
II. "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer
to God . . ."
A. Whenever we have a real desire, we go to God
B. Because He fulfills desires!
C. My heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might
be saved."
D. His heart's desire was for the salvation for souls.
E. His heart's desire and prayer was that others might know the Lord.
F. He had a consuming passion for two things:
1. To know Christ
2. To make Him known.
3. That was the motive in His life.
4. That was the thing that consumed this great man.
III. He had a purpose.
Proverbs 11:30 “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he
that winneth souls is wise.
Psalms 126:6 “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him.”
A. He had a passion.
B. He had a high interest.
C. His heart was in the salvation of souls!

TEACH AND PREACH FROM THE KING JAMES BIBLE
"For the word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of
soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
