About this episode

Pastor Colin discusses the importance of true repentance through the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21.

Pastor Colin navigates the crucial subject of repentance through the teachings of Jesus, particularly focusing on the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21. This parable powerfully underscores the difference between professing faith and living it out in your daily actions. Through the engaging story of a man with two sons—one who says he'll obey but doesn’t, and the other who initially refuses but later repents and acts—Pastor Colin challenges us to reflect on our own lives. Are we saying "yes" to God but failing to follow His commands? This message serves as a solemn reminder that an empty profession of faith holds no value. If you find yourself recognising this message in your life, now is the time to heed the call to repentance—a turning away from known wrongs and offering all that we know of ourselves to Christ. Join us in this series where we uncover the 'hidden path to a transformed life', and let's embrace the positive and life-changing gift of true repentance together.
