1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,432
Pastor Josh here.

2
00:00:02,545 --> 00:00:05,569
I would like to give you a
preview of our Sunday morning service

3
00:00:05,737 --> 00:00:09,377
on October 27th here at
Middletown Baptist Church.

4
00:00:09,561 --> 00:00:12,217
The title of our sermon is out
of this World.

5
00:00:12,401 --> 00:00:14,681
We're going to be looking at
Second Corinthians, chapter six,

6
00:00:14,713 --> 00:00:19,577
and what Paul has to say about
loving the world and how as believers,

7
00:00:19,761 --> 00:00:22,697
the challenge sometimes is
that we love the world more than

8
00:00:22,721 --> 00:00:24,205
we love the things of God.

9
00:00:24,745 --> 00:00:28,294
The Bible tells us in this
case in verse 14 of 2 Corinthians,

10
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:32,425
chapter 6, Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers?

11
00:00:32,725 --> 00:00:36,133
For what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness,

12
00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:39,425
and what communion hath light
with darkness?

13
00:00:39,725 --> 00:00:42,933
We're going to explore the
topic of what it means to be unequally

14
00:00:42,989 --> 00:00:44,705
yoked with unbelievers.

15
00:00:45,405 --> 00:00:48,365
Certainly there is an
opportunity for us to be in the world

16
00:00:48,405 --> 00:00:51,877
and know unbelievers, but the
Bible clearly talks about how we

17
00:00:51,901 --> 00:00:54,597
should be separated from those ways.

18
00:00:54,701 --> 00:01:00,325
And then we see later on in
verse number 16, he says, in what

19
00:01:00,365 --> 00:01:03,625
agreement with hath the temple
of God with idols?

20
00:01:04,045 --> 00:01:05,901
For ye are the temple of the
living God.

21
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:10,037
So he refers to what he talks
about in First Corinthians that we

22
00:01:10,061 --> 00:01:11,717
as Christians are the temple
of God.

23
00:01:11,821 --> 00:01:16,109
Why would we mingle the temple
of God with idolatry?

24
00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:19,605
And so in verse 17 he says,
Wherefore because of this, come out

25
00:01:19,725 --> 00:01:23,709
from among them and be
separate, saith the Lord, and touch

26
00:01:23,757 --> 00:01:25,901
not the unclean thing, and I
will receive you.

27
00:01:25,933 --> 00:01:29,341
And so we're going to study
that topic of what it means to be

28
00:01:29,373 --> 00:01:32,505
living in this world, but not
to be of this world.

29
00:01:32,805 --> 00:01:35,421
Our hearts sometimes are
longing for the things of this world,

30
00:01:35,453 --> 00:01:38,693
and God says, no, your hearts
should not be longing for those things,

31
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:40,629
they should be longing for me.

32
00:01:40,757 --> 00:01:44,757
Our hearts should be longing
and desiring after the truths of

33
00:01:44,781 --> 00:01:46,577
God and his work in our life.

34
00:01:46,741 --> 00:01:48,897
So I encourage you to listen
to the sermon.

35
00:01:48,921 --> 00:01:50,113
If you can come in person.

36
00:01:50,249 --> 00:01:54,129
We would love to have you here
at 10:30 at Middletown Baptist Church,

37
00:01:54,257 --> 00:01:57,305
or you can follow on the
podcast the Day after or watch us

38
00:01:57,345 --> 00:01:59,217
live on YouTube or Facebook.

39
00:01:59,361 --> 00:02:02,281
But I encourage you to be a
part of this because I think it's

40
00:02:02,313 --> 00:02:05,585
a really challenging lesson
for all of us to study here in Second

41
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:06,945
Corinthians chapter six.

42
00:02:07,065 --> 00:02:09,097
Well, I hope you have a
wonderful weekend.

43
00:02:09,201 --> 00:02:10,761
We look forward to hearing
from you.

44
00:02:10,793 --> 00:02:14,225
We look forward to seeing you,
and we pray that God gives you a

45
00:02:14,305 --> 00:02:16,489
great day in the Lord today.

46
00:02:16,657 --> 00:02:17,537
Well, God bless.

47
00:02:17,601 --> 00:02:18,505
We will see you soon.
