Is your spiritual GPS broken?
In Luke chapter 3, John the Baptist issues an urgent call to repent—not guilt, not shame, but a real change of heart, mind, and direction that prepares the way for Jesus. They needed to turn around and move in a new destination.
In this sermon, you’ll discover:
• What repentance actually means (and why it’s more than saying “sorry”)
• Why John the Baptist’s blunt message was kindness, not condemnation
• How success, comfort, and self-gratification can still leave us empty
• What it looks like to bear fruit in keeping with repentance today
• Practical ways to prepare the way for Jesus in your own life—and in the lives of others
From a relatable wrong-turn road trip story to reflections on modern examples like Tom Brady and Scottie Scheffler, this message challenges us to ask an honest question: Are we walking the Way of Jesus—or just assuming we’re close?
Bottom Line: There is no forgiveness without repentance—and repentance is an invitation to life.
If you’re longing for deeper purpose, spiritual clarity, or a reset in your walk with God, this message is for you.

Does your life feel like a stump right now?
When we look at a stump, we usually see an end—judgment, destruction, or a life cut short. But in the Kingdom of God, a stump isn’t a sign of death; it’s a setup for a miracle.
As we near the end of our Jesse Tree Advent series, we explore the powerful prophecy of Isaiah 11. Just as the mighty nation of Israel was cut down to a stump, many of us feel “cut down” by poor decisions, grief, or the weight of the world. But deep within the Stump of Jesse was a Root that couldn’t be killed and a Shoot destined to change the world—Jesus.
Join us as we discover how Jesus is the Root (our divine source), the Shoot (the humble baby in a manger), and the Branch that bears Fruit in our lives today.
If you feel overlooked, undervalued, or left behind this Christmas, this message is for you. It’s time to see your “stump” as a place of redemption, restoration, and renewal. The thing that looks like the end of your story might actually be the place where God is about to bring new life.
