Matthew 3 | Rick Cornejo

About this video:
Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from June 28, 2026. Matthew 3:1–12 — Prepare the Way John the Baptist's message was simple but life-changing: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. In this study of Matthew 3:1–12, Pastor Rick explains that repentance is not about earning God's love or trying harder, but about changing our minds, turning toward Christ, and receiving the grace He freely offers. As John prepares the way for Jesus, he contrasts empty religion with genuine faith, reminding us that salvation comes through God's work, not our own. This message highlights the mercy behind God's call to repentance and points to Jesus, who not only forgives our sins but transforms us from the inside out through the Holy Spirit.
