Introduction
We tend to focus on church as being only 2 hours a week. Our focus is Sunday morning but we need get people involved.
Congregational READING
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Beyond Sunday
Prayer is great but we need to harvest the crop and the problem is that the workers a few. We need to equip Christians to the work that God has given us. To be involved with gathering the harvest not sitting in a pew for 2 hours each week.
Prayer is great but we need to harvest the crop and the problem is that the workers a few. We need to equip Christians to the work that God has given us. To be involved with gathering the harvest not sitting in a pew for 2 hours each week.
