(message begins 20:00, Luke 3:7-18)

John the Baptist presented a strategy for taking down evil. Repentance and forgiveness. A mind change and a release from our due penalty. Repentance is not a one shot experience. It is ongoing and daily. Forgiveness is walking out of our prison door. It’s all about moving from living my way to living God’s way. It’s all about joy.

The Lord your God is with you. He is the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great delight in you. In his love he will no longer punish you.

Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.

Zephaniah 3:17
