Luke 3:21-38, The Son We’ve Been Waiting For

About this episode

This episode discusses the call to prepare one's heart for the coming King through genuine repentance as illustrated in Luke 3.

In this message from Luke 3:1–20, we see what it means to Prepare Your Heart for the King as John calls God’s people beyond heritage and familiarity into genuine repentance. Through this passage, we discover that the coming King exposes false security, requires visible fruit, and examines every heart—not to shame us, but to free us. It is a call to lower pride, lift shame, and respond to His mercy with real surrender.
