Bible Study: Stirred Up Hearts | Luke 3:1-14 | John the Baptist Prepares the Way
Advent isn’t just about preparing for the celebration of Christ’s birth in the manger—He’s already come, some 2,000 years ago. Instead, this sacred season is about readying our hearts for the return of our Lord in glory as King and Judge on the Last Day.
To prepare for that day, we need the voice of John the Baptist. His powerful call to repentance is as urgent now as it was then:
"Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."
These words may feel unsettling—but they should stir our hearts. Are we bearing the fruit of repentance, love, and good works that our Lord calls us to? Or are we, like many, caught in the easy traps of self-love, anger, and indifference?
John the Baptist's message doesn’t let us remain comfortable. It confronts our sinful nature with the hammer of God’s Law. But through repentance, we are also pointed to the ultimate gift: the cross of Christ, where sin is defeated, and the joy of salvation is given.
This Bible study will help you reflect on the season of Advent through the lens of John the Baptist’s preaching. Join us as we explore how his words prepare us for Christ’s return and stir our hearts to live out the Gospel faithfully.
👉 Watch now and prepare your heart for the coming of our King!
