Millington Baptist Church Sermons

In this final message of our Upside Down Glory: Disability and the Kingdom of God series, Pastor Bob Erbig turns to 1 Corinthians 15 to ask a deeply personal and eternal question: What happens to disability in the resurrection? Framed by the sobering yet hope-filled reflections of former Senator Ben Sasse, this sermon explores Paul’s powerful imagery of the seed and the resurrection body—sown in weakness, raised in power. Addressing questions about continuity, transformation, identity, and the future of our suffering bodies, Pastor Bob walks carefully through the promise that God does not discard what has suffered but glorifies and redeems it. With pastoral tenderness and theological clarity, this message reminds us that our identity is not rooted in dust, diagnosis, or decay, but in Christ—the Man of Heaven—and that one day, at the sound of the trumpet, death itself will be swallowed up in victory.

Sown in weakness, raised in power—because in Christ, the body that suffers will one day shine with resurrection glory.

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 philosophical and ideological currents influencing society and why many believers feel unprepared to engage them. Dr. Miller then turns to what has been called “the scandal of the evangelical mind,” challenging the church to recover thoughtful, rigorous discipleship that equips Christians, parents, and students to recognize and respond to ideas that undermine biblical faith.

If the church is to stand firm in a shifting culture, it must love God not only with heart and strength, but also with a renewed and informed mind.

In this guest message, Dr. Corey Miller, President and CEO of Ratio Christi, explores a foundational moral question: Is Jesus truly unique when it comes to basic morality? Centered on the Golden Rule and its formulation in Matthew’s Gospel, this sermon examines how people across cultures recognize moral truths—even without hearing Jesus’ teaching directly—and what that universal awareness reveals about the nature of morality itself. Dr. Miller contrasts the Golden Rule with the more passive “Silver Rule” and highlights how Jesus’ positive, proactive command stands apart in both depth and authority. By situating the Golden Rule within its immediate biblical and worldview context, this message argues that Jesus’ moral vision is not merely one voice among many, but evidence pointing toward the truth of Christianity.

When we examine the moral law written on the human heart, we are ultimately confronted with the Lawgiver Himself.
