Compassion for the Lost - Stand Alone Sermon

How do we make disciples and reach the lost in today's world? The answer lies in being driven by the same compassion that moved Jesus. This week, Guest Pastor Brandon Hughes unpacks Matthew 9:35-38, where Jesus sees the crowds as "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Discover how Christ's compassion should fuel our evangelism and discipleship efforts. This sermon explores three powerful principles for gospel impact: cultivating Christ-like compassion for the lost, praying earnestly for God to send workers into the harvest, and actually stepping out into your area of influence with the good news. Featuring real-life stories of answered prayer and transformed lives, this message will challenge you to see your workplace, neighborhood, and relationships as harvest fields ripe for the gospel. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent, student, working professional, or retiree, God has positioned you strategically for kingdom impact.
