A message that challenges Christians to be willing to pay the price to see friends and loved ones come to know Jesus. Paying the price in the battle; paying the price with their burden; and paying the price with their brokenness.

1. A Passion for Souls Psalms 126:5-6

2. Psalms 126:6 5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. 6 Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.

3. Two Key Words Tears Weeping

4. I. THE PRICE TO BE PAID “ Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.” Psalms 126:5

5. The winning of souls must be preceded with the weeping for souls.

6. When is the last time you wept yourself to sleep over a lost soul?

7. II. THE PLACE TO PAY THE PRICE “ Sowing in tears” speaks of a heart that is broken in prayer for others.

8. A. The price is paid in the battle

9. B. The price is also paid with your burden

10. “ Now if You would only forgive their sin. But if not, please erase me from the book You have written.” Exodus 32:32 “ For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my countrymen by physical descent.” Romans 9:3 “ ...for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.” Galatians 6:17

11. C. The price is paid in brokenness When we engage in spiritual battle on our knees …God brings a genuine brokenness in our lives for Him and for others.

12. Psalm 126:4 - God to "Restore our Captivity."

13. Can you name five people you personally know that you are concerned over where they will spend eternity?

14. Response Those who are broken . . . come and weep for the lost. Those who are not broken . . . come and confess to God that you are not broken.
