The Herald of the King | Matthew 3:1-10

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 3:1-10

What is the most glorious reality of Christ taking on flesh? It is this: God has come to dwell with us (Matt 1:21-23)!  Now that the King is born, God sends a man out to preach in the wilderness to prepare his people to welcome the King. Preparation for people meant - repentance! 

This morning, we will look at 4 aspects of repentance which John emphasized in preparing the way for Jesus.

1. The Message of Repentance - 3:1-3
2. The Sign of Repentance - 3:4-6
3. The Fruit of Repentance - 3:7-9
4. The Urgency of Repentance - 3:10
