A Sojourner’s Faith (Worship Service, December 11th, 2016)

Title: A Sojourner’s Faith

Passage: Exodus 2: 11-25

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: December 11th, 2016

Through Moses’s pilgrim wanderings, we see the reality that God is sovereign over the lives of his servants. We are not Moses, and none of us have his calling. Yet, in our own lives, as people who are chosen by God to be his own special possession, as the elect of God, we must trust the wise providence of our invisible God, even when God’s providence leads us to places and circumstances that to us are unexpected and confusing. How can we do this? Moses gives us three examples in our passage to us of how we ought to trust the wise providence of our invisible God.

Faith in an Unpredictable God (Worship Service, December 4th, 2016)

Title: Faith in an Unpredictable God

Passage: Exodus 2: 1-10

What we read in Exodus 2 is how one family responds to Pharaoh’s brutality, and how God uses this response to set in motion the events that will lead to real deliverance for the people of Israel. The key idea in this passage is that God in wise providence provides salvation through the simple faith of his people. To show this, I want to draw your attention to three key elements in the story of Moses’s birth:

And These Are The Names, Part 3 (Worship Service, November 27th, 2016)

Title: And These Are The Names Part 3

Passage: Exodus 1

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: November 27th, 2016

The book of Genesis closes with a dim but real ancient hope, uttered by the lips of Joseph, that God would bring his people to the Promised Land. The story picks right up in Exodus 1:1. As the first chapter of Exodus unfolds, we see, like the first lights of a new day on the eastern sky, the quiet opening acts by a God who keeps his word. No matter what the circumstances of life, you can trust God to keep his Word. In our passage this morning, we see three marks of God’s faithfulness to his promise.

The Covenant Love of God Part 3 (Worship Service, November 6th, 2016)

Title: The Covenant Love of God Part 3 (The Conclusion of Psalm 90)

Passage: Psalm 90

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: November 6th, 2016

Very few men really consider God’s wrath against sin. Very few know the anger God has with men when they turn from the reverence due to God. It is with this dire condition of mankind in mind that Moses turns in vv 12-17 to seek the mercy of the eternal God. These verses reflect how a man of God seeks the grace of God in light of the sad reality of the frail human condition. If God is our dwelling place, these verses show how he is so for his own. So Moses’s prayer suggests three ways we must seek God’s grace.
