In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Matthew 3:1–2

As we continue to journey in this season of Advent, a time of preparation, we encounter John the Baptist.

John’s ministry is akin to an Old Testament prophet, calling on people to repent and return to the ways of God.

His message was very powerful and effective as many came to him to be baptized, confess their sin, and bear “fruit worthy of repentance” (v. 8).

This message is for us too.

As we approach the coming of Christ are we prepared?

What can we do to align our lives with God?

Join us Sunday as we continue our Advent journey.

Message delivered by Pastor Ben Sandin.
