Luke 3:1-14

November 12, 2023 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Luke 3:1–14

We continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of the four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Today, John the Baptist re-enters the story with a surprising, provocative message, declaring that “We must bear fruits in keeping with repentance” as he prepares the way for Jesus, the Messiah. Are you bearing repentant fruit, in Jesus?
