Title: The LORD is My Banner
Passage: Exodus 17:8-16
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: January 14th, 2018
Our text this morning is the story of Israel’s first conflict after defeating Egypt. This morning, I think it’s better to approach our text from the ground up. I want us to understand what’s going on, and then draw lessons for us from what the passage reveals.

Title: Testing
Passage: Exodus 17:1-7
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: January 7th, 2018
When Israel demanded water, they were testing God. If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, there is a lesson here about the character of genuine saving faith. A true believer does not test God.

Title: Nunc Dimittis
Passage: Luke 2:22-32
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: December 24th, 2017
The inspired canticle of Simeon is in Luke’s Gospel to be a faithful testimony to the baby in Simeon’s arms. And, on this Christmas Eve, this is an especially important matter for us to consider. Who was this baby arriving with Mary and Joseph to Herod’s Temple so long ago? God wants us to listen to Simeon and understand who Jesus is.

Title: Magnificat
Passage: Luke 1:46-55
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: December 17th, 2017
In Mary’s song, the first word in the original is magnifies. This word sets the tone for the whole Psalm. As a whole, Mary’s song teaches us the joy of Christ’s coming. Mary calls all men to join with her joy that Christ has come. So whether you are a mature saint who has believed in Christ for a long time, or a person who has never yet believed in Christ alone for salvation, what God wants from you is to rejoice in Christ this Christmas.

Title: A Holy Sabbath to the LORD
Passage: Exodus 16:21-36
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: December 10th, 2017
The rest of Exodus 16 deals with the institution of a pre-Sinai Sabbath and the people’s response to this. I believe that the same theme of first half of the chapter can be easily brought over and extended into the focus on the manna and Sabbath. That is, we still learn here that true saints believe that God alone can satisfy their greatest desires.

Title: Bread From Heaven
Passage: Exodus 16:1-21
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: December 3rd, 2017
The provision of food is the demonstration of the LORD’s covenantal presence and glory. It is to be a manifestation of God’s care for his people. It is the LORD who gives this food to his people, and the gift of food from God is intended to reiterate his love for them. The bread comes from God. It comes from heaven. The message of this story, the Lord’s message in the miracle of the manna is, “I am with you. You can trust me. Rely on me. Lean into me. I will sustain you. You can know that I will never let you down. I will keep my promises to you. You can be assured that I am your God and you are my people.” That is, true saints believe that God alone can satisfy their greatest desires.

Title: Into The Wilderness
Passage: Exodus 15:22-27
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: November 26th, 2017
The real force of the story is unveiled in the second part of v 25: There the LORD made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them. The LORD was leading his people. He was the one who led them to Marah. The LORD was the one who, in their desperate need for water, brought them first to the bitter waters. But v 25 is the divine perspective on these earthly affairs. Marah was a test. The Lord was trying his people to see if they would trust him. Thus the lesson from God’s Word is, in times of great difficulty, we must trust the Lord.

Title: Sing to the LORD!
Passage: Exodus 15:1-21
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: November 19th, 2017
What do you do when you realize that God has saved you? You sing. Brothers, God’s people sing. In Gen 4, we learn that Jubal made musical instruments. Job mentions singing a handful of times. But this is the first time that singing appears canonically in the Scriptures. How appropriate that, after such a monumental event displaying God’s covenant love, that it is here that we see his people joining in song. The central point from this text for us is simply this: Sing to the LORD. But when I say that this passage urges us to sing to the LORD, I am getting after something more fundamental than mere singing. Indeed, I want us to have the heart to sing to God. My concern is that there is in each of our hearts joyful affections in Christ our Savior.
