So We're exploring Repentance lately, mainly because we think
people's understanding of Repentance is off base, again... So
we looked at the passage from Luke Chapter 3 verses 1 through
14...
"John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You
brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming
wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not
begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I
tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for
Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and
every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and
thrown into the fire.”
“What should we do then?” the crowd asked.
John answered, “The man with two tunics should share with him who
has none, and the one who has food should do the same.”
Tax collectors also came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked,
“what should we do?”
“Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told
them.
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”
He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be
content with your pay.”
We've misunderstood this whole passage. Listen to Pastor Gary explain how.
