How to Preach Repentance, Part 1

Luke 3:7-9  We have come to see how all true Gospel proclamation involves this message of repentance. Jesus preached repentance. The Apostles preached repentance. The students of the Apostles preached repentance. And all true preachers of the Gospel ever since have continued preaching a message of repentance. Without repentance, you no longer have the Gospel. You’ve actually replaced the Gospel with a false substitute, a damning substitute. So we need to be very careful as we learn this morning, as…

How Jesus Endured the Cross

Psalm 22:1-21 In anticipation of our time around the Lord’s Table, I thought we could take some time, as I mentioned, to reflect on the cross.
