Millington Baptist Church

Life often feels like an endless cycle of exhaustion: work, family, responsibilities, and the weight of trying to hold it all together. But in Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus offers a better way: “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In this message, Ken Huber continues our "Summer in the Scriptures" series with, an exploration into Christ's invitation to lay down our burdens, bind ourselves to Him, and discover the true rest only He can provide.August 24, 2025

We are blessed to have our very own Vince Staiger step up to the pulpit as we continue our "Summer in the Scriptures Series.  Romans 8 has often been called “the greatest chapter in the greatest book,” and for good reason. In this message, we'll explore why this chapter stands apart among the treasures of Scripture. Moving from Paul's raw struggle with sin in Romans 7 to the life-giving declaration of “no condemnation in Christ,” Romans 8 unveils the ultimate hope, identity, and glory promised to God's people. Along the way, we'll hear insights from theologians such as John Piper and Martin Luther, while reflecting on the Spirit's work of freedom, adoption, and eternal assurance. If you have ever wrestled with sin, longed for peace, or needed renewed confidence in God's promises, Romans 8 offers the assurance and hope that only the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring.August 17th 2025

In a culture where families often look strong on the outside but are crumbling within, how can we build homes that last for generations?In this message from our Summer in the Scriptures series, Pastor Bob Erbig unpacks Deuteronomy 6 and Matthew 22, showing three essential pillars of a truly strong family: preserving core biblical principles, saturating our homes with Scripture, and allowing God's story of redemption to shape our lives. With powerful real-life examples and practical next steps, this teaching will challenge and equip you to strengthen your marriage, disciple your children, and leave a legacy of faith.August 10th, 2025

In this powerful message from our Summer in the Scriptures series, Pastor Dave Hentschel unpacks Philippians 2:1–11 to explore what it means to build a gospel-shaped community. Using vivid imagery like football blindside hits to the humility of Christ, Pastor Dave challenges us to confront our spiritual blind spots and consider who's protecting our “blind side.” True Christian community isn't built through self-promotion or shallow connection, but through humility, mutual care, and sacrificial love. Drawing from Paul's profound Christ-hymn, we're reminded that "community thrives where self-centeredness dies, and self-centeredness dies when we look to the cross." Discover how relationships with a Paul, a Timothy, and a Barnabas can help anchor you in a life of spiritual accountability and growth. Don't miss this invitation to go deeper, not just in knowledge, but in Christlike love.August 3rd, 2025

What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ Jesus? MBC's world partner Clint Watkins dives into this subject as he preaches from the book of 2 Timothy. Here, he continues in week 2 of our sermon series "Summer in the Scriptures".

What does it mean to truly trust God's provision—and what happens when our hearts crave more?In this first message from our Summer in the Scriptures series, guest speaker Sidney Bowie of City Relief takes us deep into the Tenth Commandment: “You shall not covet.” With passion, humility, and rich biblical insight, Sidney unpacks the hidden power of covetousness, not just as a behavioral issue, but as a heart condition that subtly erodes our contentment and warps our worship.Drawing from Exodus 20, Genesis, and Colossians 3, Sidney reveals how covetousness isn't simply about wanting more—it's often masked as admiration or inspiration, yet quietly displaces our trust in God and fuels self-centered living. He challenges us to examine the motivations behind our desires and consider whether what we pursue is truly for God's glory, or our own gain.This message is both convicting and freeing. It calls believers to root out the idols that quietly grow in our hearts and to rediscover the joy of selfless, outward-focused living, serving the marginalized, embracing gratitude, and finding satisfaction in Christ alone.If you've ever wrestled with comparison, envy, or discontentment—or simply want to live more intentionally in a world that constantly says, “you need more, ”this sermon will reorient your heart toward the God who is enough.July 20, 2025

What does it mean to “fight the good fight of the faith,” and why is it vital for the future of the Church?In this passionate conclusion to our Divine Blueprint series, we explore Paul's final charge to Timothy and what it means for Millington Baptist Church today. As we approach our 175th anniversary, Pastor Bob calls us to look beyond the past and fight for the future: by living with Public Virtue, walking in Pure Obedience, and offering Passionate Praise to the King of Kings.This message reminds us that spiritual warfare is real, and the stakes are eternal. But the path forward is clear: flee worldly cravings, take hold of eternal life, and guard the deposit of the Gospel.Whether you're weary from the battle, new to faith, or seeking clarity in a confusing world, this message will equip you to stand firm, live holy, and worship boldly until Christ returns.July 13, 2025

What does it really mean to be a Baptist, and why does it matter?In this powerful message from our Divine Blueprint series, we explore the distinct convictions that have historically defined Baptist churches, convictions rooted not in tradition, but in Scripture. From biblical authority and believer's baptism to congregational governance and religious liberty, we walk through the B.A.P.T.I.S.T.S. acronym to show how each core belief shapes the way we “do church” today.With historical stories like that of Fritz Erbe, insights from Baptist leaders like Spurgeon, and a clear comparison of church structures and ordinances, this sermon is both a theological deep dive and a practical challenge to live with conviction in today's culture.Whether you're a lifelong Baptist, new to church, or just exploring what makes different denominations unique—this message will equip you to think biblically, live faithfully, and commit meaningfully to the local church.July 6, 2025

Does Money Make Us Happy? In a world driven by wealth, we often chase financial security, early retirement, and material comfort. But what if the deeper issue isn't money itself, but our love of it?In this message from our Blueprints series on 1 Timothy, Pastor Bob confronts the powerful lure of money, examines the FIRE movement (“Financial Independence, Retire Early”), and offers a gospel-shaped perspective on true contentment. Drawing from Paul's words in 1 Timothy 6:3–10, we're invited to trade worldly cravings for eternal priorities, and discover that godliness with contentment is great gain.June 29, 2025

What does it mean to live as a missionary—without changing your job, your country, or your title?In this special message from John White, a WorldVenture missionary and teacher in Ukraine, we're challenged to view the Christian life through the lens of gospel multiplication. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:1–7, John unpacks how strength, calling, sacrifice, and integrity form the foundation of a missionary life—one that every believer can live, wherever God has placed them.You'll hear stories from the frontlines in Ukraine, learn from church history, and discover how to pass the faith on to “one more person.” Whether you're called across the globe or across the street, this message will stir your heart to live faithfully and fruitfully for Christ.June 22, 2025

When leaders fall, entire communities feel the shockwaves. In this sobering yet hope-filled message from 1 Timothy 5:17–6:2, we confront the importance of integrity in spiritual leadership, especially in light of recent headlines that have rocked the Christian world.What does it mean to lead with character when the spotlight fades? How can churches protect both the innocent and the vulnerable? How do we raise up the next generation of faithful leaders? And what does Father's Day teach us about the weight—and power—of a father's influence?Join us as we explore four vital spheres of leadership integrity: compensation, accusation, ordination, and vocation. Whether you're a pastor, parent, employer, or just someone trying to walk faithfully with Christ—this message is for you.

Can the Church Cure Loneliness? Loneliness is a growing epidemic, but what if the local church holds the cure? In this sermon from 1 Timothy 5:1–16, we explore how God's design for the family of faith provides an antidote to isolation. Through Paul's practical wisdom, we learn how respectful relationships, intergenerational care, and purposeful service can transform a disconnected world. Whether you're feeling alone or looking to serve those who are, this message will challenge and equip you to live out the gospel in real, relational ways.June 8, 2025
