mission of preaching repentance as detailed in Matthew chapter 3. The

preacher references John the Baptist's non-conformist appearance and

austere lifestyle in the wilderness, yet emphasizes the undeniable

impact of his message of repentance which reached Jerusalem, Judea, and

the surrounding nations. The sermon also cites Crosby's song, 'Rescue

the Perishing', and its relevance to John the Baptist's mission of

saving souls through spreading the gospel. The speaker encourages

listeners to follow John's example by preaching the gospel despite

circumstances, reinforcing that God's call to preach extends beyond the

confines of a church.
