The sermon is from Luke 13:1-9– “When Sinners are Slain and Towers Fall”.  “… but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” – Luke 13:3, 5

Both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ began their ministries with a message of repentance (See Mark 1:4; 14-15). The Apostle Peter took the cue on the Day of Pentecost and concluded his sermon by saying, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins ….”(See Acts 2:38). So, the doctrine of repentance is an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. But what does it mean to repent? The Children’s Catechism states so clearly – “How do you repent of your sin? I must be sorry for my sin, and hate and forsake it.” And, then, the Catechism goes on to teach – “Why must you hate and forsake your sin? Because sin displeases God.” Modern preachers must mimic Christ and the Apostles by declaring, “… unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
