God Can Give Faith to Rocks! | Luke 3:7-18 with Sarah Stenson
Episode description
You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Sarah Stenson joins the podcast to talk about John the Baptist naming peoples' sin and taking away their claim to righteousness through their lineage to Abraham.
Naturally, when we're called sinners and it turns out that the thing we think we're doing that makes us worthy of salvation isn't enough, we respond the same way the crowd responded to John: What then should we do?
John gives us the answer and points his long bony finger right at Jesus.
This week's conversation is all about what repentance is and what it isn't, why we shouldn't feel threatened by a passage saying those will be thrown into the fire, and how to proclaim the good news.
Here are the questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:
- Where is Jesus at this moment?
- What then should we do?
- If it's not up to me, why do they get thrown into the fire?
