Pastor Josh here.

I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service on December 8th here at Middletown Baptist Church.

The title of the sermon is the Grace Giver.

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.

You know, we've been gifted so much in the Lord.

Most specifically and most importantly, we've been gifted our salvation.

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.

God is the greatest giver of grace.

But we also do know that as Christians, we can be grace givers as well.

And so we're going to study that in 2 Corinthians, chapter 8 and the whole month of December here at Middletown Baptist Church.

Our theme is gifts.

Now we're going to be talking about gifts that we can give, gifts that we receive.

And we know that as Christians, we've received that greatest gift in the gift of salvation.

And we're going to study that throughout this month.

You can follow us online on YouTube and on Facebook, or you can listen to the podcast A Monday Morning as a replay.

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.

And we pray that as a Christian, you can understand what it means to be a grace giver.

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.

And that's really what the Christmas season is all about, that greatest gift given to us in Jesus Christ.

So we hope to see you there.

We hope that you have a wonderful weekend.

God bless you.

We will talk to you soon.
