Rooting his message in Matthew 3:1-12, Pastor Joshua West preaches not only about how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, but also shares insights on the true meaning of repentance. God wants us to have a repentant heart. When we do, we mourn the sin we see around us. Biblical repentance changes our mind, turns us from sin to holiness, and regenerates us because of what Christ did for us on the cross.

When we think of the victory of the cross we have to remind ourselves that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sins and we are forgiven in Christ.

At the cross mercy and peace took on a human face. Jesus Christ made a covenant with his Father and the blood of Christ brings us everlasting peace.

God uses afflictions to draw us into his Word so we can allow him to deal with the issues of our heart. If we don’t see God in ALL of our circumstances, the good and the bad, our faith will crash. God is not with us despite our failure, sin and slothfulness; he is with us because of them. God's tender mercies are above all his works. Go to the Lord with an open heart and let him love you through your pain and suffering.
