About This Project
📖 Kingdom Come Bible Study | Episode 5
In this powerful episode, we explore the ministry of John the Baptist, the forerunner to Jesus, and the one who prepared the way for the King. Matthew 3:1–12 brings us into the wilderness, both literally and spiritually, where God strips away distractions and calls us to true repentance, not just remorse.
💬 John’s message is clear: Change is coming—and we must be ready.
This episode will challenge you to:
– Understand the purpose of spiritual wilderness seasons
– Grasp the true meaning of repentance (metanoia)
– See the contrast between John’s baptism and Jesus’ transformational baptism
– Examine your own heart and discover where you need Jesus to change you
📖 Key Takeaways
– God meets us in the wilderness to prepare us for what’s next
– Repentance is not about feeling sorry; it’s about life transformation
– John prepares the way, but only Jesus provides the power to change
– Everyone will meet Jesus—but will you meet Him as Savior or Judge?
🎧 Listen now and be encouraged—God’s plan is always bigger than we can see!
