“Answering the Harvest Call” Matthew 9:35-38
The Method for Jesus’ Kingdom Work John 1:5, 14 – light in darkness; He dwelt among us Matthew 9:35-38 – how it happened! Jesus was “with the people” vs. waiting for people to come to Him “going about” + “teaching” + “proclaiming” +“healing” in all cities, villages!! * He “had compassion” – “suffer + with” vs. 36* Flat Creek Baptist = “harvest of souls” is directly related to hanging out among the lost!
“The Harvest is Plentiful But the Laborers Are Few” vs. 37 Jesus said, “PRAY the Lord of the harvest to …” What does His answered prayerlook like? Workers goingINTO the harvest with care and compassion! God’s love “invades”darkness!
