Pastor James discusses the importance of repentance during Advent, using the metaphor of terrain to illustrate the moral landscape of Judah as depicted in Isaiah. He emphasizes that repentance is a necessary action for preparing our hearts for God's arrival, just as rough paths need to be leveled for a clear way. Drawing from both Isaiah and Matthew, he highlights that repentance is mandatory, urging believers to engage in self-reflection and accountability within the community. Ultimately, Pastor James reminds us that without repentance, we risk living in a cycle of sin that distorts our relationships and sense of normalcy. Isaiah 40:1-11 and Luke 3:13-17.
