    The Rewards Of Repentance

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015
     | 6,138 views

    The sinner must repent before they receive salvation. Those who are saved must practice repentance if they are to enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. Repentance is both negative and positive – turning away from sin – turning to God.

    Jesus submits to the Father in baptism, although as John pointed out, he had no need to be baptized (he was without sin). However, Jesus is righteous by doing what is "right" and sets the example and standard for us.

    “Jesus 101: No Need” Matthew 3:1-17 It must have been quite the scene. First, consider the location: the Desert. It’s not where an up and coming preacher should try to build his new church! Second, there was John the Baptist who was quite a sight! “John's clothes were made ...read more

    We are able to understand the bigger picture of God’s plans only after we come out of the wilderness.

    He speaks to you in the wilderness… The Bible says, “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea” (Matthew 3:1). Everything seemed to be hunky dory for a young man who had a great job, great time in a great city. His world came crashing down when ...read more

    How do we live in harmony? The secret is in the Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer of the end-times that we recite in one voice every time we gather for Liturgy.

    2nd Sunday of Advent With this great reading about John the Baptist from Matthew’s Gospel, you probably expect me to sermonize on repenting of sin as a preparation for Christmas.

    This message is about Repentrance - what it means in Scripture and how it starts with the heart versus the mouth. True repentance is not just saying you're sorry , it's actually being sorry and willing to stop and change.

    What It Means To Repent Scripture: Matthew 3:1-2; 4:17; Mark 6:12; Acts 2:38; 3:19 Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their ...read more

    It is easy to assert that it is all about Jesus. Sometimes we believe that our focus is sincerely upon the person and work of Christ. But, is it? John the Baptist was Jesus focused, but when are we? Matthew 3:1-17 provides five moments when we are Jesus focused.

    1. We are focusing on Jesus when we call people to repentance. Mt. 3:1-2; Mt. 4:17 2. We are focusing on Jesus when we clarify his identity. Mt. 3:3; Is. 40:3; Mt. 16:13 3. We are focusing on Jesus when we complete our God given tasks. Mt. 3:4-6 4. We are focusing on Jesus when we ...read more
