Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion: Priorities for Kingdom Living (Volume 3)

Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack passion.

Men need passion to live in light of the fact that the God of the universe chose us to be His children, called us to be kingdom men, and enables us to passionately live like Jesus and advance His Gospel where we live, work, and play through the generations!

We see this kind of passion reflected in early church days: “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). As the apostle Paul urged the church at Rome to be passionate in serving Jesus, so we welcome you to join us in growing more and more zealous about our great Savior.

Ours is a passion based on the truth of God’s Word and expressed through a gentleness of spirit. Moses confronted Pharaoh and led the Israelites for four decades; he was a man passionate for God. Yet, God judged Moses as being “more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth” (Numbers 12:3). God is calling you to serve with such passion today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way.

You’ll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly passion. You’ll also journey deep into the “living and active” word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process.

God chose each one of us and adopted us as His children. Jesus died for our sins, paid the debt we owe to God, and gave us new life in Him. Mighty Men of Valor are passionate about their Savior. That’s what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 – Passion is all about.

As with the additional Bible studies in this series—Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 – Strength and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 – Courage—this study can be used in three essential ways.

• Use these studies as a daily devotional. We strongly encourage every man to take time out for a daily meeting—or appointment—with God.
• Work through these studies with another man. Think of this as walking “Side-by-Side,” meeting weekly for mutual growth, support, and accountability.
• Connect with other men in a triad or small-group setting. Think of Jesus, who invested in a small group of 12 men, guiding them on the spiritual journey.
