Title: Unlikely Servants
Passage: Exodus 6:9-30
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: May 14th, 2017
After the response of Israel to the Lord’s message through Moses in v 9, the passage has a chiastic or x-like pattern in vv 10-30. Moses is the focus in vv 10-12. Then Moses and Aaron in v 13. Next the genealogy of Moses and Aaron in vv 14-25, followed by a return to Aaron and Moses in vv 26-27, and finally, Moses again in vv 28-30. The passage confirms the truths of vv 1-8, and shows that the Exodus is ultimately the Lord’s work. The Lord is the one who delivers his people. Yes, God uses servants, but he is the one who gets the glory. The primary point of this sermon this morning is that the Lord accomplishes his purposes no matter what.

Title: Now You Shall See, Part 2
Passage: Exodus 5:22 – 6:9
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: April 30th, 2017
The first part of Exodus 6 is the Lord’s answer to Moses’s prayer at the end of ch 5. The Scripture before us lifts up God’s purpose to bring glory to himself through the redemption of Israel from Egypt. The passage has five ways God glorifies himself. We looked at two last week.

Title: Now You Shall See, Part 1
Passage: Exodus 5:22 – 6:9
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: April 23rd, 2017
It is instructive to frame verses 5:22 – 6:9 in terms of the great despondency of the Israelites in Egypt described in ch. 5. We see Moses’s response, and then we hear from God. In all this, the passage emphasizes God’s purpose to bring glory to himself through the redemption of his people. The Holy Spirit wants to draw us in to this great agenda, that we would glorify God ourselves.

Title: Let My People Go
Passage: Exodus 4:27 – 5:4
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 26th, 2017
I have organized this morning’s message around the two responses to Moses that we see in this passage. The first is the response of the Israelites in 4:31: And the people believed. The second response is that of Pharaoh in 5:2, Who is the LORD? Here we have illustrated the two ways to live. As we look at our text this morning, I want you to ask yourself, how do I respond to God? Does my life bear the marks of a response of faith, or of unbelief?

Title: The Pleasures and Perils of Serving Yahweh
Passage: Exodus 4:18-26
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 19th, 2017
The return to Egypt is now before us. The ESV breaks the text into three paragraphs, and in each of them we see how God prepares Moses for his great return to Egypt. These lessons are instructive for us, for they both unfold important parts of the Exodus narrative and illustrate timeless principles for God works with his servants. This morning, I want you to see that God graciously fits his servants for the work he wants them to do. We already know that God will be with Moses. As Moses returns to Egypt, we see something of what that looks like.

Title: Send Someone Else
Passage: Exodus 4:1-17
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 12th, 2017
Moses’s three questions in chapter 4 expose Moses’s fear and unbelief. Yet for each of Moses’s three objections, God patiently brings himself back into Moses’s thoughts. Moses was very hesitant to obey God’s call. All of us can be the same way. The point is this, we must submit to God’s will. In big things, in little things, in hard things, and in difficult things, we must lovingly submit to the will of God. In this passage, there are three reasons why we should submit to God.

Title: He Does Whatever He Pleases
Passage: Exodus 3:16-22
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 5th, 2017
The LORD has sovereign power and authority over all things. Yahweh is in control over everything that happens in the book of Exodus. That is because the Lord is over everything that happens, period. This passage is not only about what is about to happen, it is also about a Sovereign God who foretells what will certainly happen because he decreed those events. In light of this truth, the point of this morning’s message is we should trust our sovereign God who does whatever he decrees. Why should we trust God?

Title: Biblical Lessons from The Sacred Name
Passage: Exodus 3:10-15
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: February 26th, 2017
Today we consider the theological and practical implications that our God is the I AM WHO I AM or Yahweh. If this is the name by which God is to be remembered throughout all generations, then it is fitting to spend time considering more carefully the meaning of Yahweh, and what it means for us.
