A Harvest of God’s People

Matthew 9:35-10:15

About the Sermon

It isn’t always good news when a kingdom gets a new king. Will he be benevolent or tyrannical? Will he be wise or foolish? Does he desire peace or war? The Gospel of Matthew tells us that a new king and his kingdom have come. But who is this king and what is he like? Matthew 9:35-10:15 shows us this new king is compassionate, and his compassion creates a mission to fill his kingdom with people.

About the Series

East of Eden we should expect little more than parched, dry, hard ground. We certainly find plenty of that spiritually speaking. And yet when the Scriptures speak of the future they fill our vision of the imagery not of death but of great harvest—overflowing, bountiful, and life-giving harvest. This vision fuels the church’s global mission, for it represents God’s commitment to turn back the curse by the Spirit through the gospel of his Son. In this two-part series, we turn to the vision of a great harvest for God’s people through the prophet Amos, then to a harvest of God’s people in Jesus’ call to pray for laborers.
