John the Baptist might be one of the most unusual figures in the Bible. A wilderness preacher calling people to repentance, warning about judgment, and demanding real change — it’s easy to dismiss his words as extreme or outdated. But what if we slowed down and listened more carefully? In Luke 3:1–20, John prepares the way for Jesus by calling people to repent, to take responsibility for their actions, and to live lives that bear good fruit. When we look at his radical words with fresh eyes, we may discover that his message is both challenging and deeply relevant today. Join us as we continue our series The King and the Temple, exploring how the kingdom of Jesus breaks into our world and transforms the way we live
