Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast!  Join us as Pastor Brandon shares on Matthew 3. In this exploration of repentance, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of what it truly means to turn back to God. Focusing on Matthew 3:1-12, we encounter John the Baptist's radical message: 'Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. The vivid imagery of wheat and chaff illustrates the stark difference between genuine faith and hollow religiosity. As we reflect on this, we're called to examine our own lives. Are we producing fruit in keeping with repentance? This message urges us to move beyond surface-level changes and embrace a transformative relationship with God, recognizing that true repentance is both a gift from God and our ongoing response to His grace. God bless and have a great week!
