Interim Senior Minister, Rev. Dr. Cameron Douglas’ message is, “Getting Ready” based on Matthew 3:1-12.

Overview

All the Gospels agree that to begin the story of Jesus’ public ministry you must be introduced to John the Baptist first. It is he who tells the news and sets the stage “preparing the way” for Jesus.

How does the church prepare the way for God’s coming? John the Baptist answers in one word: repent! Repent means a change of mind and heart. It means to turn your life around and change the direction of your life. John also says, to get ready for the coming of the Messiah, start sharing with the needy. We need to turn toward God and others.
