The Kings Road To Redemption

Sep 14, 2025    Pastor Dan Smith

In this powerful message, we're called to confront the reality of sin in our lives and the transformative power of repentance. The central theme revolves around John the Baptist's proclamation in Matthew 3:2: 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' We're challenged to examine ourselves against the biblical definition of sin, recognizing that we all fall short. However, this realization isn't meant to condemn us, but to lead us to the good news of Jesus Christ. The message draws a compelling parallel between our broken state and handmade toys that have lost their luster - just as a loving creator would pay any price to redeem their creation, Jesus paid the ultimate price to redeem us. This imagery beautifully illustrates God's love and the concept of atonement. As we embrace repentance, we're not just turning away from sin, but turning towards a transformed life in Christ. This message encourages us to live as 'obedient children,' loving one another deeply and prioritizing our relationship with God above all else.
