The Urgency of OUR Repentance

In this message, Kerry explores Jesus' urgent call to repentance through the lens of two tragic events in Luke 13. When tragedy strikes, our natural tendency is to wonder "why?" - but Jesus redirects our focus to something far more important.

Key Points:

• Why tragedy doesn't indicate greater sin or God's judgment
• Jesus' emphatic "NO" to the idea that bad things happen to bad people
• The universal need for repentance regardless of circumstances
• How to bear fruit worthy of repentance in our daily lives

Kerry shares personal testimony about facing family tragedies and how God's grace sustained them through difficult seasons. This message challenges both self-righteous attitudes and self-loathing thoughts, pointing us to the truth that we all need a Savior.

Whether you're walking through tragedy, struggling with guilt, or simply need a reminder of God's patient love, this sermon offers hope and practical wisdom for bearing fruit in your spiritual journey.
