In this opening message of our new series through the Gospel of Matthew, Dr. Jerry Shields unpacks the bold proclamation of John the Baptist in Matthew 3. Through John's voice, we’re awakened to our deep spiritual need, challenged to genuine repentance, and ultimately pointed to the supremacy and power of Jesus Christ.
This sermon calls listeners to reflect on the sins that often go unchecked—selfishness, apathy, and misplaced religious confidence—and invites us into lasting transformation through the Messiah.
Tune in and be encouraged to start your year centered on the One who brings true renewal.
