Repent and Rejoice

Join us for the second week of our series "Why Christmas Matters," where Pastor Paul Ortiz explores the connection between repentance and rejoicing through Luke 3 and Philippians 4. In this compelling message titled "Repent and Rejoice," Pastor Paul examines John the Baptist's urgent call to prepare the way for Jesus, revealing why Advent is about more than holiday celebration — it's about preparing our hearts for the Savior. Discover why John's bold, uncompromising message drew crowds into the wilderness, how true repentance goes beyond mere feelings to a complete turning toward Christ, and why the law must come before grace. Learn how John pointed beyond himself to the One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire, and why daily repentance opens the door to genuine rejoicing. Whether you're seeking deeper meaning this Christmas season or exploring faith for the first time, this message will challenge you to examine your heart and embrace the transformative gift of Emmanuel, God with us.
