In this expository sermon on Luke 3:1–6, Pastor Steve examines John the Baptist’s ministry amid a corrupt political and religious landscape, focusing on his proclamation of a “baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” Emphasizing genuine repentance as a God-enabled turning from sin to Him—marked by sorrow, changed direction, and transformed desires—the message highlights John’s role in fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy, preparing the way for the Messiah’s salvation, and issues a heartfelt call for both initial faith in Christ and ongoing rejection of sin among believers.
