Word of the Week: The Church as a Beacon of Truth

In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church Podcast, Pastor Josh explores the concept of the church as a beacon of light and truth in the world. Building on previous discussions about the church as a body and a spiritual building, this episode emphasizes the church's role in upholding and proclaiming the truth of the gospel. Pastor Josh discusses scripture, particularly 1 Timothy 3:15, and how the church is to maintain and spread the truth, acting as a pillar and ground of truth in society. He underscores that the church’s authority comes from scripture alone and calls believers to reflect Jesus' light through their actions and words.
