The Unforgettable Prophet | Advent 3 Sermon | Deacon Pete Martin

This week we celebrate the third Sunday of Advent through the bold and challenging message of John the Baptist. Deacon Pete reflects on John’s unforgettable presence, inviting us to move beyond complacency and live out our faith through action. Despite his harsh warnings, John introduces joy by teaching that sharing what we have with those in need brings shalom—a peace that makes others whole. Through gentleness, compassion, and open-hearted service, we can touch hearts, heal souls, and experience true joy.
