Unlocking God's Promises: Join Us This Sunday at Middletown Baptist Church

Pastor Josh here.

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

on November 3rd here at Middletown Baptist Church.

We're going to be continuing our study in Second Corinthians,

and we're going to be in Second Corinthians chapter seven.

And we're going to be looking at verse number one.

It says this.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us

cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

We're going to study what it means to understand the promises

of God, specifically the promises of God that are mentioned

in chapter six.

And what we talked about last week was separating ourselves from

the influence of the world, separating ourselves from the ways

of the world, and to be thinking biblically, to be thinking

about what God would have us to think about.

And there are promises there.

And the promise comes in the last verse of 2 Corinthians chapter

2 Corinthians 6 · chapter mention

6.

As God says, hey, when you do these things, when you step away

from the influence of the world, when you step away from the

association of the world, he says that we'll have a closer relationship

with Him.

The Last verse of 2 Corinthians 6 says this, and I will

be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith

the Lord Almighty.

So when the Lord gives us these promises, he's essentially

saying, when you step away from the world and associate with

me, we will have this close, meaningful, loving relationship and

that's what he desires from us.

And so this week we're going to be looking at what it means to

set aside our desires, set aside the influence of the world

and cling to the Lord and understand what it means to grow

in our understanding of him and grow in our holiness and grow

in our spiritual condition.

So we hope to see you there on Sunday morning.

If you're able to be there with us, we would love to have you

there in person at 10:30 on Sunday here at Middletown Baptist

Church.

But if you're not able to be here in person, we do live stream

on YouTube and Facebook and we repost this repost this sermon on

Sunday mornings, Monday mornings here on the podcast channel.

So we hope to hear from you soon and we are praying for you and

we pray that God will work in your life and will continue to show

you what it means to know him and to love Him.

Well, we will hope you have a wonderful weekend.

We will see you Sunday.
