First Baptist Church, Milton, LA

Luke Arsement, one of our elders, preaches from Ephesians 5:1-2. In this sermon, Luke encourages us to follow Christ's example of love, showing how His example of humble, self-sacrifice love is the model for how we ought to love one another.

Pastor Matt preaches from Colossians 3:1-17. In this sermon, Pastor Matt shows how the believer's union with Christ is his fundamental identity, how it is "our most powerful weapon" against sin, and how it the source of all of our obedience to Christ.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 12:37-50. In these verses, John summarizes both the results of Jesus's public ministry and Jesus's public teaching, and in it, forces us to reckon with both God's sovereignty and man's responsibility when it comes to belief.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 12:27-26 a sermon titled, "An Eye Towards the Cross." In this sermon, we look at some of Jesus's last words in his public ministry - words which focus on his cross. As we focus on the cross with Jesus, we look at the anguish of the cross (vs. 27-30), the accomplishments of the cross (vs. 31-32), and the appeal of the cross (vs. 33-36).

Pastor Matt preaches "To See Jesus" from John 12:20-26.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 12:12-19, "The Coming of the King." As we celebrate the coming of King Jesus into the world, our normal next text in John is the coming of Christ into Jerusalem and, by his actions, accepting the title of King. Not only that, but it is full of Christmas themes. That should not surprise us, as Jesus himself tells Pilate that it was for this purpose that He came into the world. 

Pastor Matt preaches from John 11:45-57. We look at how the raising of Lazarus seals belief in Jesus for some, but opposition to Jesus for others. We also see how Caiaphas becomes an unintentional proclaimer of the Gospel, and close by seeing how we can trust that Jesus will show up for us.

Matt Doucet, one of our elders, preaches from John 11:45-57, which covers the response of those who witnessed Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Some believe that He is the Christ, while others oppose Him to the point of violence. Such will be the case for all who bear witness to Jesus.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 11:36-44. This text covers 7th and final sign in Jesus's public ministry - the raising of Lazarus from the dead. We hope you'll listen and come to a greater faith in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 11:17-37.

In this sermon,  our focus is on how Jesus’s love for Martha and Mary affects how He cares for each of them in their grief. Part of this is Jesus's fifth "I am" statement in the Gospel of John, "I am the resurrection and the life." We hope you'll listen in and see a picture of how Christ loves us as His sheep and how He made a way for us to live, even though we die.

Pastor Matt preaches a message from John 10:22-31. In this sermon, we look at the origins of the Feast of Dedication and how this informs the Jews' question to Jesus about whether or not He really is the Christ. In His answer, Jesus gives us what may the deepest answer to the problem of unbelief in the Bible. We hope you'll listen in and see and be humbled by the sovereign work of God in your salvation.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 10:7-21. In this text, Jesus makes two of the seven "I Am" statements John's Gospel - "I am the door of the sheep" and "I am the good shepherd." This is an incredible passage showing the exclusivity of Christ as the only way of salvation and what we does in order to secure that salvation for us.

Pastor Matt preaches from John 10:1-6. In this first sermon back in our series through the Gospel of John, Pastor Matt shows how John 10 fits in to the context of John 9-10, helps us understand the sheepfold illustration Jesus makes in verses 1-5, shows why - beyond just cultural context - Jesus introduces this shepherd concept, and then show four truths we learn from these verses about a shepherd and his sheep.
