Shining the Light: A Call to Proclaim the Truth of God
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast, Pastor Josh emphasizes the importance of 'shining the light' of Jesus Christ in a dark world. Exploring 2 Corinthians 4, he highlights the opportunity for all believers to be ministers of the gospel, urging them not to lose heart despite obstacles such as fear, selfishness, and opposition from Satan. Pastor Josh encourages Christians to speak the truth in love, live distinctively, and spread the full message of the Gospel faithfully. The episode serves as a reminder of the privilege and responsibility believers have to share and show the love and truth of Jesus Christ while facing their own challenges and adversities.
