Repentance isn’t just feeling sorry for what you’ve done; you change it.  And repentance addresses specific behaviors.  It does no good to repent for something you don’t do, and keep doing something else you shouldn’t.

Luke: The Gospel for Everyone

Repent!

Luke 3

Repent!  Any questions?  You’re free to go.

Welcome to the Summer Bible Series—we are working our way through the gospel of Luke.  And today we are in Luke 3, which is the story of John the Baptist’s ministry, the baptism of Jesus and His genealogy.  I’m going to quickly walk us through the whole chapter, then I want to come back to John’s message of repentance and talk about what it means for us.  Then I’ll invite the worship team to come back; we’re going to take some time to recalibrate our lives back to Jesus.

 

Offering: Our Big Deal this year is Think 3: think 3 generations into the future.  One of the most important things we can do is invest in the generations coming up behind us.  And one way to do that is through our children’s ministry, Life Center Kids.  Every weekend we love and teach over 600 children in Life Center Kids, from newborn through 6th grade.  It requires hundreds of volunteers who are willing to Think 3 and see the value of investing in our children.  Would you be willing to be one of these volunteers?  We need you, especially this summer when all our volunteers, like you, are taking vacations—we have lots of extra spots to fill.  If you’d like to help, you can:

1. John’s message: Repent!

 

Luke 3

1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene—2 during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

Last week we saw that Luke did not begin chapter 2 by saying, “Once upon a time,” but “In those days.”  Luke wants us to know that this is not a fairy tale.  This story really happened; it’s grounded in history.  And nowhere is that more clear than here, where Luke names the Roman Caesar (
