Pastor Josh here.
-
I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service
-
on October 27th here at Middletown Baptist Church.
-
The title of our sermon is out of this World.
-
We're going to be looking at Second Corinthians, chapter six,
-
and what Paul has to say about loving the world and how as believers,
-
the challenge sometimes is that we love the world more than
-
we love the things of God.
-
The Bible tells us in this case in verse 14 of 2 Corinthians,
2 Corinthians 6 chapter mention
-
chapter 6, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers?
-
For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness,
-
and what communion hath light with darkness?
-
We're going to explore the topic of what it means to be unequally
-
yoked with unbelievers.
-
Certainly there is an opportunity for us to be in the world
-
and know unbelievers, but the Bible clearly talks about how we
-
should be separated from those ways.
-
And then we see later on in verse number 16, he says, in what
-
agreement with hath the temple of God with idols?
-
For ye are the temple of the living God.
-
So he refers to what he talks about in First Corinthians that we
-
as Christians are the temple of God.
-
Why would we mingle the temple of God with idolatry?
-
And so in verse 17 he says, Wherefore because of this, come out
-
from among them and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch
-
not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.
-
And so we're going to study that topic of what it means to be
-
living in this world, but not to be of this world.
-
Our hearts sometimes are longing for the things of this world,
-
and God says, no, your hearts should not be longing for those things,
-
they should be longing for me.
-
Our hearts should be longing and desiring after the truths of
-
God and his work in our life.
-
So I encourage you to listen to the sermon.
-
If you can come in person.
-
We would love to have you here at 10:30 at Middletown Baptist Church,
-
or you can follow on the podcast the Day after or watch us
-
live on YouTube or Facebook.
-
But I encourage you to be a part of this because I think it's
-
a really challenging lesson for all of us to study here in Second
-
Corinthians chapter six.
-
Well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
-
We look forward to hearing from you.
-
We look forward to seeing you, and we pray that God gives you a
-
great day in the Lord today.
-
Well, God bless.
-
We will see you soon.
