1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,248
Pastor Josh here.

2
00:00:02,305 --> 00:00:04,633
I would like to give you a
preview of our Sunday morning service

3
00:00:04,689 --> 00:00:07,729
on November 17th here at
Middletown Baptist Church.

4
00:00:07,897 --> 00:00:11,049
We're going to be continuing
on in our sermon series looking at

5
00:00:11,097 --> 00:00:12,201
Second Corinthians.

6
00:00:12,353 --> 00:00:14,705
We're going to be in Second
Corinthians, chapter seven.

7
00:00:14,865 --> 00:00:18,561
The name of the sermon on
Sunday will be the real repentance

8
00:00:18,633 --> 00:00:19,689
for revival.

9
00:00:19,857 --> 00:00:21,273
Real repentance for revival.

10
00:00:21,329 --> 00:00:24,017
And we're going to be
discussing what the Bible says is

11
00:00:24,081 --> 00:00:25,205
true repentance.

12
00:00:25,515 --> 00:00:29,427
The Bible says that there is a
type of repentance that can be a

13
00:00:29,451 --> 00:00:34,459
selfish, focused, sorry that
we've been caught kind of feeling.

14
00:00:34,587 --> 00:00:36,027
And then there's biblical repentance.

15
00:00:36,091 --> 00:00:38,915
Biblical repentance is a
change in direction, a turning away

16
00:00:38,955 --> 00:00:41,015
from something and a turning
to God.

17
00:00:41,315 --> 00:00:44,295
And what we can see in
Scripture is that we can't have revival,

18
00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:49,295
that new life, that new hope
without that repentance.

19
00:00:49,835 --> 00:00:52,307
The key verse that we're going
to be studying on Sunday is Second

20
00:00:52,331 --> 00:00:54,037
Corinthians, chapter 7, verse 10.

21
00:00:54,171 --> 00:00:57,697
For godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation, not to be

22
00:00:57,721 --> 00:01:01,685
repented of, but the sorrow of
the world worketh death.

23
00:01:02,025 --> 00:01:04,201
So we're going to talk about
the two different types of sorrow.

24
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:07,577
You have the godly sorrow,
which brings to repentance, which

25
00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:09,745
brings to salvation, which
brings to hope.

26
00:01:09,905 --> 00:01:14,153
And then you have the sorrow
of the world, which worketh into

27
00:01:14,249 --> 00:01:16,605
death, as it says, or produces death.

28
00:01:17,225 --> 00:01:19,297
And so we're going to talk
about the difference between those

29
00:01:19,321 --> 00:01:22,141
two things, and we're going to
look at what the Bible says true

30
00:01:22,173 --> 00:01:25,381
repentance is, which leads to
true revival.

31
00:01:25,533 --> 00:01:27,245
We all want revival in our land.

32
00:01:27,285 --> 00:01:28,725
We want revival in our church.

33
00:01:28,765 --> 00:01:30,413
We want revival in our life.

34
00:01:30,589 --> 00:01:33,453
But the Bible does say that
that starts with repentance.

35
00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:35,285
That starts with godly sorrow.

36
00:01:35,325 --> 00:01:39,117
That starts with the truth of
God and being revealed to us in our

37
00:01:39,141 --> 00:01:42,597
lives and honestly looking and
measuring ourselves up to the standard

38
00:01:42,621 --> 00:01:46,065
of God, which we know that we
fall short of the glory of God.

39
00:01:46,415 --> 00:01:50,103
But yet we see how much more
we need the grace of God in our lives.

40
00:01:50,199 --> 00:01:53,343
And so encourage you to follow
along with us on Sunday if you're

41
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:54,359
able to be with us in person.

42
00:01:54,407 --> 00:01:55,503
We'd love to see you.

43
00:01:55,639 --> 00:01:59,327
But if you're not able to be
with us in person, we will post the

44
00:01:59,511 --> 00:02:03,695
sermon on Monday morning here
on the podcast.

45
00:02:03,855 --> 00:02:06,479
And also we'll be live
streaming on YouTube and Facebook

46
00:02:06,567 --> 00:02:07,527
Sunday morning.

47
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:09,847
Well, thank you so much for listening.

48
00:02:09,911 --> 00:02:11,455
We're looking forward to
seeing you soon.

49
00:02:11,575 --> 00:02:12,335
Have a great weekend.
