What Should We Do 041926

About this episode

Pastor Chris Pan discusses the call to repentance and the significance of wilderness seasons in preparing for the Lord.

In this message, First Prez Senior Pastor Chris Pan explores John the Baptist’s call to repentance and the surprising truth that God often does His deepest work in our “wilderness” seasons. Rather than a place of exile, the wilderness becomes the very ground where we prepare the way for the Lord. Through vivid imagery—including the damaged road to the Koʻolau campus—Pastor Chris invites us to examine our own “rough places” and ask the recurring question from the passage: What should we do? The answer is lived out through generosity, integrity, justice, and turning back toward God’s open arms. Luke 3:1-20 Download the series booklet here First Prez website
