- Jesus’ Call to Workers: Jesus teaches, sends out, and empowers His disciples to minister to others. He tells them to pray for more workers and demonstrates the need for laborers in the harvest.
- Application: Discuss the importance of discovering spiritual gifts and finding ways to serve in the church and community. Emphasize the role of training and leadership development in this stage.
