Millington Baptist Church Sermons

Guest speaker and MBC World Partner Eric Yee opens Matthew’s Gospel by showing how the genealogy of Jesus is not a passage to skip, but a powerful “season one recap” of God’s redemptive story. From Abraham to David, from exile to Christ, Matthew shows that God always keeps his word, sovereignly came through sinners for sinners, and began a new creation in Jesus. This message connects the family line of Christ to the mission of God among the nations, reminding us that Jesus is the long-awaited...

In this second guest message, Dr. Corey Miller, President and CEO of Ratio Christi, addresses what he calls “The Third Revolution” and the growing intellectual challenges facing the church. Examining the rapid cultural shifts of recent years, Dr. Miller explores where these changes originated and how universities have played a formative role in shaping today’s dominant ideas. Reflecting on the phrase, “As go the universities, so goes the culture,” this message considers the major philosophica...

In week six of Upside Down Glory, Pastor Dave Hentschel opens Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 12 to explore what it means to be “The Body That Suffers Together.” Scripture tells us that all creation groans under the weight of the fall, and believers groan as well—not in despair, but in hope. This message reminds us that suffering is not a sign of weak faith, but a shared reality in a broken world, and that the Spirit of God intercedes for us even when we have no words left to pray. Yet God never i...

In week four of our Upside Down Glory series, Pastor Dave Hentschel walks through 2 Samuel 9:1–13 and Luke 14:12–14 to reveal the heart of a King who seeks out the forgotten and makes room for those the world overlooks. Through the story of Mephibosheth—crippled, exiled, and hiding in Lo Debar—Scripture shows how David’s covenant faithfulness leads him not to eliminate weakness, but to honor it with radical kindness, restoration, and a permanent seat at the royal table. Paired with Jesus’ cal...

In week two of our Upside Down Glory series, Pastor Bob Erbig walks through Mark 2:1–12 to show how faith becomes advocacy when it refuses to accept barriers that keep people from Jesus. Centered on the story of the paralytic whose friends literally break through a roof to bring him into Christ’s presence, this message confronts a culture that quietly assigns value based on ability, productivity, and “quality of life.” From modern genetic counseling pressures to healthcare systems that ration...

In the final message of our From Ruin to Redemption: The Gospel According to Isaiah series, Pastor Dave Hentschel brings us to the summit of Isaiah’s prophetic vision in Isaiah 65:17–25. This passage unveils God’s promised future—a new heavens and new earth—where sorrow, injustice, futility, and fear are no more. Isaiah is not offering speculative timelines, but reshaping our moral imagination, showing us the world as God originally intended it to be: a world marked by joy instead of weeping,...
