What has God called His people to do? In Matthew 9-10, Jesus sees the crowds, has compassion, and sends out laborers into the harvest. In this sermon, Dr. Toby Holt explores the directions Christ gives His disciples — and the tasks He entrusts to us.

Questions this sermon answers:

1. What is the harvest field? The world full of lost people. Jesus says the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

2. Why did Christ send the disciples without provisions? To teach them to depend on God's provision rather than their own resources as they served.

3. What responsibilities do we have? God doesn't need us, yet He invites us into work of great importance — to pray, to go, and to bear witness to Christ.

"Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'" — Matthew 9:37-38 (NKJV)
