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.

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.
