Middletown Baptist Church

The Motive Behind the Method: Understanding Our 'Why' in Faith

In this preview for the August 18th Sunday morning sermon, Pastor Josh discusses the upcoming topic, 'The Motive Behind the Method.' He explores how Christians can sometimes perceive their religious practices as superficial and empty, carried out of duty rather than genuine love. Using 2 Corinthians 5:14 as a foundation, Pastor Josh emphasizes that the true motive for Christian service is God's love for us. He invites everyone to reflect on the love of God as the ultimate motivator in their faith. Viewers are encouraged to join the service in person, watch the live stream, or follow the podcast to engage with this important message.
