Summary
In this sermon delivered on Mission Sunday during the liturgical season of Epiphany, we explore the calling of every believer to be an agent of rescue in a world that is "harassed and helpless". Drawing from the dramatic true story of a young boy's grueling swim to save his family stranded at sea, the message frames our mission through three distinct lenses: rescue is our experience because we share the grace we have first received; compassion is our guide** as we allow the visceral needs of those around us to direct our focus; and prayer is our action . Rather than simply "working harder," we are invited to petition the Lord of the harvest to send more workers, trusting that the same Kingdom power that overcomes despair, disease, and division will continue to multiply through our faithful presence in our local communities.
