First Baptist Church, Milton, LA

The Light of Men (John 1:5-13)

In this sermon, our second in the gospel of John, we look at what it means that Jesus is the Light and that the darkness will not overcome his light.  Then we look at John the Baptist's example of bearing witness to the light, namely that the Gospel message is a message about Christ. 

Light and Life (John 1:1-4)

Sermon 1 in our new series through The Gospel of John.  Pastor Matt introduces the book, showing the purpose of the book from John 20:30-31, and then walks us through the opening verses of John 1, showing that Jesus is the long awaited Messiah and pre-existent Son of God. 

Doctrinal Foundations: Salvation

Sermon 4 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." In this sermon, Pastor Matt addresses the Doctrine of Salvation. After opening with what he says are the "nuts and bolts of the Gospel message," Pastor Matt walks us through the "golden chain of salvation" in Romans 8:29-30 and shows how God's saving purposes began in eternity past and continue on into eternity future. 

Doctrinal Foundations: Man

Sermon 3 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." In this sermon, Pastor Matt addresses the Doctrine of Man. Specifically, he talks about what it means for man to be made in the image of God, man's created purpose is to bring glory to God, and how man's fall into sin has had devastating consequences. 

Doctrinal Foundations: God

Sermon 2 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." In this sermon, Pastor Matt addresses the Doctrine of God. Specifically, he talks about several foundational issues related to the study of the doctrine of God and then five key aspects of God's nature and attributes - God is Trinity, Creator, Holy, Sovereign, and Love. 

Doctrinal Foundations: Scripture

Greg Thomas, one of our elders at FBC Milton, begins our new series where we seek to lay out the doctrinal foundations for our church. In this first sermon, we look at the doctrine of Scripture. In particular, Greg shows how the Scriptures are authoritative, inerrant, reliable, infallible, and sufficient. 

Portraits of Salvation (Easter 2024)

Embedded within the Biblical accounts of Jesus's death and resurrection are three portraits of the Gospel message - three stories of three different people that show us three different aspects of the Gospel. These portraits help us see what Christ did for us and how we can respond to His work in faith. 

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14, "Good, Better, Best"

In this last sermon on the book of Ecclesiastes, we see the big, final answer the question, "What is good for man in this vain life?" We’ll answer that from the text with what is good, what is better, and what is best.

Ecclesiastes 11-12 - Rest, Rejoice, Remember

In Ecclesiastes 11:1 through 12:8, we have the last words of the Preacher. He brings his quest for ultimate meaning and purpose in life to a close. The Preacher gives us three matters of the heart, matters of faith and thinking, that are universally true - they are true no matter where or when you live. If, with the Holy Spirit’s help (and you’re going to need it), these can be true of you, you’re going to live to a good, satisfying, God-honoring life.  

Ecclesiastes 10 - Life's Two Ways

The major theme of Ecclesiastes 10 is that there are two ways of life - the way of the wise and the way of the fool. And really that’s Old Testament language for the way of righteousness and the way of sinfulness. In this sermon, Pastor Matt shows us from Ecclesiastes and other passages that it is only by faith in Christ that we can follow Him on the path of wisdom.
