  1. Pastor Josh here.

  2. I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service

  3. on February 2nd here at Middletown Baptist Church.

  4. We're gonna be continuing our study in Second Corinthians, and

  5. we're gonna look at Second Corinthians, chapter 10.

    2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  6. We're looking at what it means to be an ambassador for Christ.

  7. We're looking at what it means to go for the gospel.

  8. And here in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10, we're gonna be seeing

    2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  9. the need for us to think biblically.

  10. So to be an ambassador for Christ, to be someone who is acting

  11. for his cause, we must think properly about our ways.

  12. Our ways must be God's ways.

  13. Our our thoughts must be set upon the Word of God.

  14. And in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10, it tells us in verse number five,

    2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  15. what we are to do when different thoughts come into our

  16. minds that are what's called strongholds, says casting down imaginations

  17. and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge

  18. of God.

  19. So when we have thoughts in our mind that rise up against the

  20. knowledge of God, against the word of God, what do we do?

  21. It says, I'm bringing into captivity.

  22. So we take into captivity every thought to the obedience of

  23. Christ, meaning we take this thought and we put it before the

  24. truth of God, and we say, does this match up?

  25. Is this something from you, Lord?

  26. And if it's not, we destroy that.

  27. We tear that down.

  28. And so we're gonna look at how we can think properly, which leads

  29. us to live properly.

  30. And that starts with a belief in the word of God and a trust in

  31. the Word of God.

  32. And so that's what we're gonna be looking at here this week.

  33. 2 Corinthians, chapter 10.

    2 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  34. Being an ambassador and thinking biblically.

  35. Well, we hope to see you here on Sunday morning if you're able

  36. to be with us.
