At Calvary we have a vision/mission to "build a church without walls." It's a CWOW vision. Part of our description of that puts it this way, "Envision a community so passionate about Jesus Christ and the glory of God that God doesn't just visit their community, He pitches His tent." And that's where it starts, such a passion for Jesus and the glory of God that God doesn't just visit our community, He pitches a tent. He settles in for the long haul. It starts in an on-going encounter
with Jesus that leads to an overwhelming sense of the presence of God.

And it requires a passion revolution in our hearts. God we need a passion revolution for the things that really matter!

What I hope you will get every time you come to "More than Bread" is something more than bread. With all my heart I believe God wants to speak to you through this time. And then if you have been with me for a bit, you know that it’s not enough to listen to His Words, we need to learn from them, and it’s not enough to just learn from them, we need to lean into them, we need to put them into practice, we need to do what it says. So I encourage you every time you listen take something away, think through an “I will..." statement. As a result of this time, "I will – fill in the blank."

And in this episode I hope your "I will" statement involves thinking through in some tangible how much you love Jesus.

Every Good Friday at Calvary we have an immersive experience that we call the Way of the Cross. It’s all about the the passion of Jesus. In the cross that passion is not just an overwhelming, emotional or even sexual desire. That's too often how we think about it. We think of lovers, physical attraction, desires so intense they give birth to physical manifestations. Our knees get weak, skin tingles, and our guts heave.

But the passion of Jesus was not just an overwhelming desire. It was a courageous love willing to sacrifice. It was a fire in the gut, that could not be quenched. It was a burning heart of compassion for people and to embrace a cause that matters?

So what's your passion?
