Harvest Recast | Week One
Published
Overview
Scripture: Luke 10:1-4
Main Idea:
Jesus sends every believer into the harvest with urgency, compassion, and dependence on God. The problem isn’t a lack of people needing hope—it’s a lack of workers willing to go. Our role is not to save people but to prepare the way for Jesus to meet them.
Key Insight:
The harvest field isn’t somewhere far away—it’s all around us. Every believer has a part to play in loving, serving, and sharing the hope of Christ right where God has placed them.
Discussion Questions
Read Luke 10:1–4. What stands out to you about who Jesus sends and how He prepares them?
- What does it mean to be “sent ahead” of Jesus into people’s lives?
- Why does Jesus describe His followers as “lambs among wolves”?
Why do we often feel inadequate or hesitant to share our faith?
- What would it look like to trust God’s calling and power instead of our own abilities?
Jesus says the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
- Where do you see spiritual hunger in your everyday life—family, work, neighborhood?
- What might be some reasons people don’t step into the harvest?
Jesus’ first command is to pray for workers. Why do you think prayer comes before going?
- How could prayer change the way you see your neighborhood, your workplace, or your relationships?
Where might the Spirit be prompting you to take a small step this week—whether noticing someone in need, having a spiritual conversation, or serving someone with compassion?
Closing
Take time to pray together:
- Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the harvest around you.
- Pray for boldness to step into conversations and opportunities to serve others.
- Ask God to raise up more workers—both in our church and around the world.
- Invite the group to pray over areas where they feel fear, inadequacy, or hesitation in sharing their faith.
- Celebrate the ways God is already using group members in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
