1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:01,960
Pastor Josh Here.

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,520
I would like to give you a
preview of our Sunday morning service

3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,432
on February 22nd here at
Middletown Baptist Church.

4
00:00:07,576 --> 00:00:10,580
The title of the sermon is
Loyalty in Love.

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,416
We're going to be looking at
Second Corinthians chapter 11.

6
00:00:13,488 --> 00:00:16,424
We're going to see that Paul
challenges the church in Corinth

7
00:00:16,472 --> 00:00:17,580
in their loyalty.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,540
Who are they loyal to?

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,416
The the question of loyalty
when it comes to our relationship

10
00:00:23,448 --> 00:00:25,994
with Christ is the loyalty of
our love.

11
00:00:26,152 --> 00:00:30,822
And God desires us as
believers to be loyal to him in our

12
00:00:30,846 --> 00:00:34,982
worship and our service and
ultimately in our love.

13
00:00:35,006 --> 00:00:37,750
And the way that we
demonstrate our loyalty is through

14
00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:37,990
love.

15
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:40,486
And the way that we
demonstrate our love for the Lord

16
00:00:40,518 --> 00:00:43,878
is through obedience,
obedience to His Word, following

17
00:00:44,014 --> 00:00:48,806
Him and his ways and trusting
in his work of the Gospel.

18
00:00:48,918 --> 00:00:52,288
So we're going to look at how
we can be loyal to our Savior.

19
00:00:52,334 --> 00:00:55,548
Savior the beauty of all of
this is that we know that we can't

20
00:00:55,564 --> 00:00:56,880
be perfectly loyal.

21
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:00,892
But as we understand in
scripture, the Bible tells us that

22
00:01:00,916 --> 00:01:02,940
even when we're not faithful,
he is faithful.

23
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:07,324
So we can only be loyal
because of the perfect loyalty and

24
00:01:07,332 --> 00:01:09,356
the perfect faithfulness of
our Savior.

25
00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:11,340
So we're going to be
celebrating that here this week in

26
00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:13,000
second Corinthians chapter 11.

27
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:17,292
So I hope that you're able to
come and be with us in person here

28
00:01:17,316 --> 00:01:22,070
