Potholeville
The King has sent an envoy to prepare the people for the coming King
clean up the town/your life because the Messiah is coming
John has come to baptize for the repentance of sins
a baptism that would acknowledge what has happened in the lives of the people
a lot of people are coming out to be baptized
a lot of the pharisees and Sadducee are also coming out
and John has a large task ahead of him
how shall he get people to convert
straighten out / repent
people are happy in their sin
they are content in their religion
they don’t want to upset the apple cart
John has to shock them into absorbing the truth
some will repent some will become hardened
you cant give someone the good news until they know the bad news
someone cannot be saved until they know what they are being saved from
John had a big task to do and a shot time to do it
so he gave it to them with both barrels
read Luke 3 7-20.

Brood Of Vipers
John calls the people a basket of snakes
snakes in the grass
snakes like the Apostle Paul picked up thinking it was a stick
snakes that impersonate something else
Satan in the Garden
or the fiery serpents in the wilderness wanderings
in grass fires in that area the serpents come out and try to outrun the flames and don’t
calling them the off spring of satan
these teachers of Jerusalem are teaching poison to their listeners
and the poison was bringing them closer to the wrath of God
the poison of a lot of preachers today are sending people to the wrath of God
preaching a false prosperity Gospel
preaching an unbiblical message
listening to a Anglican Bishop and he did not believe in the Bible, the incarnate Jesus, the substitutionary atonement, and many other
He was the most pleasant, polite man you ever met.
but lost, and preaching poison to his flock
thousands of people flock to Joel Osteen
to hear the good sounding poison that he feeds to the people
The Jonestown massacre Jim Jones convinced them to drink the cool-aid
other poison preaching snakes are convincing people to drink the cool-aid
most of the poison preachers don’t ever mention sin, Judgement, the wrath of God
Wrath Of God
Christ righteous judgement coming on this planet
God is going to Judge sin and the sinner will be thrown eternally into the lake of fire
So you are coming out here to be baptized because they have a repentant heart
thinking being baptized is the way to go to heaven
But John says to them
Bear Fruit
Show you have a change of heart
show that you are converted
show that this baptism is really real
They the Jews think because of who they are , are immune to the wrath of God because...
Abrahams seed
Jews
Gods chosen people
they have the law
they have the temple
they have the sacrifices
but John says to them bear fruit
If you are a True Christian there should be fruit
There are many who claim of being a christian who do not bear fruit
they come on Sunday and look the part but no fruit
the fruit is bad that is produced
Is there evidence of the fruit of the spirit?
love joy peace patience kindness goodness
faithfulness
so some of the people started asking what does that look like?
V 10- 14
Generosity, don’t exhort from people
this is the fruit that you are to produce
turn to James 1 19-27, 2 1-26.
John is saying to them and to us IF there is true repentance there will be fruit to back up your claim
so don’t try to use the I grew up in the family so i’m immune
The Axe Is Ready
V 8 Abraham is not going to save you
By faith, Abraham was declared righteous
Abrahams fruit was trust in in God to raise up his son after the sacrifice
Abrahams fruit was trusting in God for a son
but Abraham took all his fruit with him to the grave
we have to produce our own
V 9
and if there is no fruit showing that the baptism meant something to you
if the repentance is superficial
if your life produces nothing different than the world
the wrath of God is coming on you
the axe is ready to take you down
and thrown into the everlasting fire
Are you going to a church that has a pastor who is a snake
who is poisoning you
lets give it a test
is he preaching sin? and Judgement?
he is poisoning you
is all he preaches is how to have your best life now?
does he and pick Bible verses, and take them out of context to support his theme of the day
are you offended at his preaching?
or does he tickle your ears and make you feel good
does his preaching convict you of your sin?
Does he tell you there is a hell and you are going there if you don,t repent and believe on the Lord Jesus ?
