The world has a problem—and Jesus named it clearly. Humanity is lost and weary, like sheep without a shepherd. In this message, “The Great Problem of the Church: Understanding Your Place to Take Your Place,” we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 9 and confront both the condition of the world and the responsibility of the Church. The harvest is ready—but the workers are few. The issue isn’t the field. It’s whether the Church is willing to step in, wake up, and take responsibility for the work God has entrusted to us. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why minimizing the problem leads to ignoring the solution
The reality of a weary, lost world
Why the Church often misunderstands its role
What keeps believers from serving and stepping up
How Jesus calls us to be part of the solution
Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray for workers—He called us to become them. If you call this church home, this message will challenge you to stop spectating and start participating—because the more God moves among us, the greater the harvest He entrusts to us.

In Ephesians 4:1–6, Paul called us to walk worthy of our calling by maintaining the unity of the Spirit — through humility, gentleness, and bearing with one another in love. That’s how we protect unity as individuals. But in verse 7, Paul turns to how we maintain it together as a church.

For the first three chapters of Ephesians, Paul has been showing us who we are in Christ, what we have received through Him, and what His grace has accomplished on our behalf. But when chapter 4 begins, the focus shifts. Paul moves from what we believe to how those beliefs should actually shape the way we live.
