Pastor Josh here.
Pastor Josh
I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service on December 8th here at Middletown Baptist Church.
Pastor Josh
The title of the sermon is the Grace Giver.
Pastor Josh
We're going to look at 2 Corinthians, chapter 8, and what it means to give out of the abundance that God has blessed us in.
Pastor Josh
You know, we've been gifted so much in the Lord.
Pastor Josh
Most specifically and most importantly, we've been gifted our salvation.
Pastor Josh
And so the Bible teaches us that as we understand the grace of God, as we understand the gift of God, we then understand that enough to share that with others and that we can be a grace giver.
Pastor Josh
God is the greatest giver of grace.
Pastor Josh
But we also do know that as Christians, we can be grace givers as well.
Pastor Josh
And so we're going to study that in 2 Corinthians, chapter 8 and the whole month of December here at Middletown Baptist Church.
Pastor Josh
Our theme is gifts.
Pastor Josh
Now we're going to be talking about gifts that we can give, gifts that we receive.
Pastor Josh
And we know that as Christians, we've received that greatest gift in the gift of salvation.
Pastor Josh
And we're going to study that throughout this month.
Pastor Josh
And so I encourage you to be here with us in person if you can, on Sunday at 10:30.
Pastor Josh
You can make it here at 10:30 live.
Pastor Josh
You can follow us online on YouTube and on Facebook, or you can listen to the podcast A Monday Morning as a replay.
Pastor Josh
And so we hope that you can be a part of our services here in the Christmas season and that you can celebrate this month of gifts here at our church.
Pastor Josh
And we pray that as a Christian, you can understand what it means to be a grace giver.
Pastor Josh
But also, if you have not trusted in that gift of grace, we pray that you can understand what God told us when he said that he loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shouldn't perish but have everlasting life.
Pastor Josh
And that's really what the Christmas season is all about, that greatest gift given to us in Jesus Christ.
Pastor Josh
So we hope to see you there.
Pastor Josh
We hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
Pastor Josh
God bless you.
Pastor Josh
We will talk to you soon.
