Exploring Loyalty in Love: A Preview of Pastor Josh Massaro's Upcoming Sermon
Pastor Josh Massaro will deliver a sermon titled 'Loyalty in Love' at Middletown Baptist Church on February 22nd, 2025. This sermon will focus on Second Corinthians chapter 11, where the Apostle Paul addresses the issue of loyalty within the Corinthian church. Pastor Massaro's insights will challenge congregants to reflect on their loyalty to Christ and examine the implications of such loyalty in their daily lives.
The sermon will explore the essential relationship between love and loyalty, asserting that our devotion to God is expressed through our obedience and service. Pastor Massaro will elaborate on the idea that our loyalty to the Savior is not only expected but is also a reflection of our understanding of His unwavering faithfulness. Despite our shortcomings, the faithfulness of Christ offers a reassuring foundation for our own loyalty. This central theme will be woven throughout the message, encouraging believers to recognize that while perfection is unattainable, the grace of God empowers us to strive for deeper loyalty.
As we gather for worship, Pastor Massaro will provide a thoughtful examination of how to cultivate loyalty in our spiritual lives. The congregation is invited to engage with these themes and consider their implications for their relationship with God.

Speaker A
Pastor Josh Here.
Speaker A
I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service on February 22nd here at Middletown Baptist Church.
Speaker A
The title of the sermon is Loyalty in Love.
Speaker A
We're going to be looking at Second Corinthians chapter 11.
Speaker A
We're going to see that Paul challenges the church in Corinth in their loyalty.
Speaker A
Who are they loyal to?
Speaker A
The the question of loyalty when it comes to our relationship with Christ is the loyalty of our love.
Speaker A
And God desires us as believers to be loyal to him in our worship and our service and ultimately in our love.
Speaker A
And the way that we demonstrate our loyalty is through love.
Speaker A
And the way that we demonstrate our love for the Lord is through obedience, obedience to His Word, following Him and his ways and trusting in his work of the Gospel.
Speaker A
So we're going to look at how we can be loyal to our Savior.
Speaker A
Savior the beauty of all of this is that we know that we can't be perfectly loyal.
Speaker A
But as we understand in scripture, the Bible tells us that even when we're not faithful, he is faithful.
Speaker A
So we can only be loyal because of the perfect loyalty and the perfect faithfulness of our Savior.
Speaker A
So we're going to be celebrating that here this week in second Corinthians chapter 11.
Speaker A
So I hope that you're able to come and be with us in person here at Middletown Baptist Church at 10:30am but if you're not able to be here in person, we do live streaming on YouTube and Facebook and you can follow up on Monday morning here on the podcast channel to hear a replay of the Sunday morning sermon.
Speaker A
So I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker A
We look forward to hearing from you and possibly seeing you soon.
Speaker A
God Bless.
