In Jax as It Is in Heaven: Harvest Mentality | Jared Davis
In this powerful message, we're challenged to shift our perspective from a scarcity mentality to a harvest mentality. Drawing from Matthew 9:35-38, we're reminded that Jesus saw the crowds as 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.' But instead of despair, He saw a plentiful harvest. This teaches us to view our world, our neighborhoods, and even our challenges through the lens of opportunity rather than scarcity. We're called not just to pray for the harvest, but to be laborers in that harvest. This isn't about simply sharing our faith out of obligation, but recognizing that people are ready to hear and respond to the good news. The message urges us to ask the Lord to show us our field - where He wants us to labor. Whether it's in children's ministry, youth work, hospitality, or missions, we're encouraged to see these as rich fields ripe for harvest, not just volunteer roles to fill. This shift in mindset can transform how we approach our faith and our service to others.
