1. What emotions do people elicit in your heart?

2. Are there certain groups of people that elicit different emotions than others? Why?

3. How often do you consider the spiritual state of others, whether someone you know or a complete stranger?

4. What does it mean that Jesus is the “Lord of the harvest?”

5. How familiar are you with the state of global missions today?

Spend time praying together for 1) your heart to be shaped for the harvest, 2) current missionaries from Grace Road, and 3) more missional involvement by those in our church both here and abroad.

How can we draw strength from Jesus’ example as the true worker who completed the work we could not do? 4) What are some practical ways we can move from a consumer mindset to an active participant in our church and community? 5) How can we support and encourage each other in our roles as laborers for God's kingdom, especially in facing challenges and doubts?

Sermon Discussion Questions: 1) How do you see the evidence of Jesus' unique power and authority in your own life or in the lives of others around you? 2) In what ways do we, like the Pharisees, sometimes resist or explain away the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives? 3) How can we ensure that our hearts remain open and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s conviction and leading? 4) How can we support and encourage one another to respond to God’s call and avoid hardening our hearts against Him?
