Sola Men's Bible Conference Sermon 1. Chad Norman, First Baptist Opelousas, preaches from Titus 1:1-9. 

More Bread, Please - John 6:22-34

In this sermon from John 6:22-34, Pastor Matt preaches from John 6:22-34 - the first part of Jesus's discourse with the crowds after He feeds the 5000. Jesus is the Greater Moses, the one who provides not the physical bread for daily life, but the spiritual bread for eternal life. And not only does He provide the bread, He IS the bread. 

The Fifth Sign - John 6:16-21

In today's sermon, Aaron Shamp preaches for us from John 6:16-21, continuing our series through John. He shows from this incredible story of Jesus walking on the water both God's sovereignty over and presence with us in the storms of our lives. It is an incredibly encouraging message and we hope you'll listen in! 

Jesus Feeds The Five Thousand

In this sermon from John 6:1-15, Pastor Matt walks us through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. He shows how this story is about much more than just the miraculous feeding itself. It is a picture of Christ's Sovereignty, the certainty of His saving His people, and how He multiples the effects of our meager efforts for His kingdom. 

Unreasonable Unbelief - John 5:40-47

In this sermon from John 5:40-47, Pastor Matt walks us through Jesus's diagnosis of the Pharisees' unbelief and shows us how we are guilty of the same kinds of unbelief. This applies to both those who have received Christ as their Savior and those who haven't. It is in these areas of unbelief where we find the sin that still plagues us. We hope you'll listen and that the Spirit will use this sermon to bring you to repentance and faith. 

Three Witnesses - John 5:30-40

In this sermon, Pastor Matt returns to the series through the Gospel of John after taking a few weeks off for the holidays. In John 5, Jesus is responding to the Pharisees charges that He is "making himself equal with God." Jesus does not deny the charge, but shows how He is equal with the Father and then calls witnesses that testify to His authority and divinity. Listen in as we hear the three witnesses and increase in faith and belief that Jesus is the Son of God. 

Building a Partnership in the Gospel - Philippians 1:3-11

In this sermon from Philippians 1:3-11 and on this first Sunday of a church adoption, Pastor Matt exhorts the members of these formerly two congregation to build a partnership in the gospel that is characterized by thanksgiving and joy. He does so by walking through the Gospel message and then seeing, from Philippians 1:3-11, how the Gospel builds that kind of community. 

The Earthly Walk of A Heavenly People - Philippians 4:1-7

In this sermon, one of our elders, Matt Doucet, shares precepts and promises from Philippians 4:1-7. How are we to think and act towards others as we live in this world awaiting the return of our King? As we bring every concern and need before God in prayer and thanksgiving, and experience the peace of God by His giving, we make our joyful and gentle spirits known to others, even in the midst of disagreement. 

The Humble King - Philippians 2:5-13

In our Christmas Sermon, Pastor Matt encourages us from Philippians 2:5-13 to have the same kind of humility that Christ has - a humility that is exemplified in Christ's incarnation and sacrifice, and which is ours by virtue of our union with Him. "Before the Christmas manger, even before the miraculous, Holy Spirit wrought conception of Jesus in the womb of Mary, He WAS. The baby in the manger is the self-existent Son, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. That’s the starting point. The magnitude of Christ’s taking on humanity can only be seen against the backdrop of His Divinity." 
 

Son of God, Son of Man - John 5:25-29

In this sermon from John 5:25-29, Pastor Matt continues to walk us through Jesus's answer to the Pharisees' charge that He is making Himself equal with God. In this sermon, we cover doctrines such as effectual calling and assurance of salvation, the aseity of Christ, and Jesus's fulfillment of the Old Testament "son of man."
