About this listen
In this sermon delivered by Madeline Polhill at St. Peter's, the message delves into the transformative power of Advent and the call to 'bear fruit worthy of repentance.' Drawing insights from John the Baptist's bold proclamations and the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, Madeline emphasizes the importance of personal transformation and aligning our lives with God’s love and justice. She encourages us to embrace the radical changes that come with true repentance and peacemaking, framing these actions as essential to welcoming the kingdom of heaven into our midst.
