Bible Text: Matthew 3.1-12 | Preacher: Allan Bate | Series: Matthews Gospel | In this talk Allan outlines the purpose for God sending the Elijah promised, in Malachi chapter 4, so as to turn the hearts of God’s people back to Himself, before the great and terrible day of the Lord. Allan then asks the question as to whether you and those you love are truly ready for the return of Jesus, which is closer today that it has ever been.
