Living with Eternal Hope: Confidence in Christ
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast, Pastor Josh explores the theme of confident hope in Christ, focusing on 2 Corinthians chapter 5. He emphasizes that believers can confidently expect God to fulfill His promises, contrasting the material blessings of this world with the eternal blessings of heaven. Pastor Josh discusses how Christians often waver in faith due to worldly distractions but encourages listeners to live by faith and not by sight. The sermon also highlights the roles of the Holy Spirit as Comforter and teacher, providing believers with assurance and confidence in their heavenly destiny. Pastor Josh urges believers to maintain their focus on the eternal hope and live a life characterized by faith, despite life's challenges and struggles.
