1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,232
Pastor Josh here.

2
00:00:02,336 --> 00:00:04,968
I would like to give you a
preview of our Sunday morning service

3
00:00:05,104 --> 00:00:08,136
on January 19th here at
Middletown Baptist Church.

4
00:00:08,328 --> 00:00:10,168
This Sunday is our Vision Sunday.

5
00:00:10,304 --> 00:00:13,272
What that means is, as a
church, we're looking at what our

6
00:00:13,296 --> 00:00:15,700
goals are for 2025.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,560
The theme for this year and
the goal for this year is just one

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,504
simple word.

9
00:00:20,632 --> 00:00:21,300
Go.

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,912
The Bible tells us in the Book
of Matthew to go and to spread the

11
00:00:25,936 --> 00:00:29,560
gospel, to share the truth of
God with all people.

12
00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:32,396
And that's what our goal is
gonna be here at Middletown Baptist

13
00:00:32,428 --> 00:00:32,972
Church.

14
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:37,772
We, as the church, have a job,
we have a purpose, we have a mission,

15
00:00:37,916 --> 00:00:42,492
and that is to go to the world
to share the truth of God, to teach

16
00:00:42,556 --> 00:00:47,036
people what it means to follow
him and to trust in him and to grow

17
00:00:47,108 --> 00:00:47,804
in his truth.

18
00:00:47,852 --> 00:00:51,420
And so we're gonna be talking
this Sunday about the need for us

19
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:56,290
to go to places in our local
community, to go to places outside

20
00:00:56,330 --> 00:01:00,066
of our community, and possibly
to go around the world.

21
00:01:00,218 --> 00:01:03,938
And so I hope that you can be
there with us on Sunday as we look

22
00:01:03,994 --> 00:01:08,178
to what this year is going to
bring for us as a church and really

23
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:11,106
what the Lord is going to do
in our midst if we obey Him.

24
00:01:11,258 --> 00:01:14,002
And I think that this will be
a wonderful challenge for all of

25
00:01:14,026 --> 00:01:16,466
us as believers here at this church.

26
00:01:16,498 --> 00:01:18,554
And so you're able to be with
us in person.

27
00:01:18,682 --> 00:01:21,258
We'd love to see you if you're
not able to be with us in person.

28
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:26,218
We do a live stream on YouTube
and Facebook and we post it on Monday

29
00:01:26,274 --> 00:01:28,970
mornings here on the podcast channel.

30
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:32,970
So we are thankful for you
following along throughout the year

31
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:36,778
in 2024, and we're thankful
for you being able to follow along

32
00:01:36,834 --> 00:01:38,122
here in this new year.

33
00:01:38,226 --> 00:01:39,002
Well, God bless you.

34
00:01:39,026 --> 00:01:40,186
Have a wonderful weekend.

35
00:01:40,298 --> 00:01:42,554
We will hopefully hear from
you soon.

36
00:01:42,642 --> 00:01:42,890
Bless.
