A Heart For Souls

Matthew 9:32-38

Theme:  For the follower of Christ to develop a heart for the lost souls around them.

Statement of Truth:

It is not the size of the crowd that matters it is the right crowd.

Three Types of Hearts revealed in this Passage:

I.               The condemned heart

·      The fact that this man was demon possessed was the root

·      The fact that this man was mute was the result

o   He could not speak to Christ

o   He could not speak for Christ

II.              The calloused heart

·      Religion without a relationship leaves one condemned

·      As you develop your heart for the Lord you will develop a heart for the Lost

III.            A compassionate heart

·      Are you filled with compassion?

·      Are you devoted to prayer?

·      Are you co-laboring for Christ?
