Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 9 as part of the "Only God" series, calling Way Church to be a city-changing presence in Nashville that gives God all the credit. He emphasizes that Jesus was "moved with compassion" (the Greek implying a gut-level ache) because people were wandering without a Shepherd, and that compassion should drive followers to act. Herrin outlines three marks of a worker for the harvest: serve everyone (especially the untouchable), move with urgency because the harvest season is limited, and embrace weakness so God's power is displayed. He closes with a vision: count who is missing in the city, be the answer to the prayer for more workers, and share the gospel practically and urgently.
“Jesus went through all the towns and Villages teaching in their synagogues proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness... then he said to his disciples the Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Practical takeaways: 1) Serve everyone in your city, especially those others avoid; make tangible acts of service part of gospel work. 2) Move with urgency - learn to share the gospel, be interruptible, and treat each conversation as potentially decisive. 3) Say yes to God in your weakness; God uses our dependence so that only He gets the credit. Count who is missing in your neighborhood and be the worker God sends.

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting.
Get Your Hopes Up - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the wedding at Cana) to launch the "Only God" series, inviting the church to expect things only God can do.
