A Prophetic Voice

In his exposition of Matthew 3:1-12, Pastor Mike Portland challenges us to consider the profound impact of prophetic voices in our world. John the Baptist emerges as a disruptive force, calling for repentance and announcing the imminent arrival of God's kingdom. His message isn't about minor adjustments, but a complete reorientation of our lives towards God. We're reminded that true repentance isn't just feeling sorry, but making a decisive turn towards God, bearing fruit that reflects genuine change. What does our life proclaim before we even open our mouths? Are we embodying the very message we claim to believe?
