Pastor Josh here.
-
I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service
-
on February 2nd here at Middletown Baptist Church.
-
We're gonna be continuing our study in Second Corinthians, and
-
we're gonna look at Second Corinthians, chapter 10.
2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention
-
We're looking at what it means to be an ambassador for Christ.
-
We're looking at what it means to go for the gospel.
-
And here in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10, we're gonna be seeing
2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention
-
the need for us to think biblically.
-
So to be an ambassador for Christ, to be someone who is acting
-
for his cause, we must think properly about our ways.
-
Our ways must be God's ways.
-
Our our thoughts must be set upon the Word of God.
-
And in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10, it tells us in verse number five,
2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention
-
what we are to do when different thoughts come into our
-
minds that are what's called strongholds, says casting down imaginations
-
and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge
-
of God.
-
So when we have thoughts in our mind that rise up against the
-
knowledge of God, against the word of God, what do we do?
-
It says, I'm bringing into captivity.
-
So we take into captivity every thought to the obedience of
-
Christ, meaning we take this thought and we put it before the
-
truth of God, and we say, does this match up?
-
Is this something from you, Lord?
-
And if it's not, we destroy that.
-
We tear that down.
-
And so we're gonna look at how we can think properly, which leads
-
us to live properly.
-
And that starts with a belief in the word of God and a trust in
-
the Word of God.
-
And so that's what we're gonna be looking at here this week.
-
2 Corinthians, chapter 10.
2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention
-
Being an ambassador and thinking biblically.
-

-

-

-
Baptist Church, and we will live stream as well, Lord willing,
-

-

-
