Pastor Josh Massaro takes listeners on a reflective journey in the sermon preview for October 27, 2024, at Middletown Baptist Church, focusing on the theme of being 'out of this world.'

The pastor brings to light the Biblical exhortation not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, prompting listeners to contemplate their relationships and the impact of those ties on their spiritual lives.
