Скачать или смотреть Shaken & Awakened: A Call to Repentance Matthew 3:1–12 | Pastor Ben | Full Service Dec 7, 2025

This Week 2 Advent message from Matthew 3:1–12 calls the church to be shaken from spiritual slumber and awakened to repentance as we prepare for Christ’s return. Pastor Ben preaches “Shaken & Awakened: A Call to Repentance for Christ’s Return,” exploring John the Baptist’s urgent message to turn from sin and prepare the way for the Lord.

This sermon teaches that repentance is more than feeling remorse—it is a complete turning of the heart, mind, and life toward Jesus Christ. John’s baptism ministry reveals that no one is exempt from the need for repentance. Spiritual background, religious activity, and good works cannot save us apart from personal confession, cleansing, and faith in Christ.

This service also included Communion, reminding us that forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation with God are found through the sacrifice of Jesus. As we walk through the Advent season, this message invites us to prepare our hearts through confession, cleansing, and renewed obedience as we await Christ’s return.

Repentance and spiritual awakening
John the Baptist’s ministry
Matthew 3:1–12
