Then he said to his disciples, βThe harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.β

This Theology Study is for men (Sr. High and up) who commit to gathering over five weeks to explore different "harvest" images in the Bible. At each gathering, the men will gather to share what they discovered in their prep/homework, seek to understand the way the image of the week is used in the Bible, reflect on what these images tell us about God and His People, and discuss the implications of these discoveries.
See below for more information on what this study entails.

It is expected/assumed that all participants, to the best of their ability, will do the homework (~1-2 hours between each gathering) and attend all of the gatherings. We also expect all members to engage in the discussions and ensure this TSG is a place where questioning, wrestling, and struggle are welcomed.

Additional details will be given closer to the TSG, but we will explore each image through the following steps individually and then again collectively:
Prayer
Surveying the Bible
