St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran, Howards Grove, WI - March 17th, 2024

Could you imagine picking all the corn in a 40-acre field by hand? That would take a long time and a lot of energy! Now imagine shucking all that corn and plucking off each individual kernel on your own. What painstaking work! We could picture every person in the world as a kernel of corn in a large field. They all need attention, and that takes manpower. Jesus is the Ruler of all and the Lord of the harvest. Today he asks for our prayers and encouragement for the next generation of pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and missionaries. There are billions people that need to hear the life-giving gospel. “Ask the Lord for Workers.” Our sermon today is from Matthew 9.
