📖 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!
