The Sacred Name, Part 2 (Worship Service, February 19th, 2017)

Title: The Sacred Name, Part 2

Passage: Exodus 3:10-15

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: February 19th, 2017

In a way similar to his call of Moses, God calls us to do extraordinary, things for his sake. He calls us to tasks we are unequal to. I include with this our response to God’s calling on us as Christians, in our vocations and responsibilities, and as evangelists and ministers of Christ to others. As we hear God’s response to Moses, I want us to respond the way God wants Moses to respond: with trust. We must trust the God who calls us.

The Sacred Name, Part 1 (Worship Service, February 5th, 2017)

Title: The Sacred Name

Passage: Exodus 3:10-15

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

God calls each one of us to be something extraordinary; he calls each one of us to our life’s work. And in each of these spiritual and vocation callings, we, like Moses, need to trust the God who calls us. Whether we’re Moses leading the children of Israel out of Egypt, or we’re a man who believes God might have called him to be a pastor, or we’re a housewife struggling to homeschool, or we’re a believer struggling to be holy, we, like Moses, need to trust the God who calls us. God’s answers to Moses in this passage give us three reasons to trust God ourselves.

Holy Ground, Part 3 (Worship Service, January 29th, 2017)

Title: Holy Ground

Passage: Exodus 3:1-6

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 29th, 2017

Our passage last Lord’s Day and this one tells of God’s self-revelation to Moses. The Holy Spirit gave us this word that we might too might behold the holy God who dwells in the bush. When we hear texts such as Exodus 3:1-6, we must respond to God’s true revelation of himself with faith and love. 

Holy Ground, Part 1 (Worship Service, January 15th, 2017)

Title: Holy Ground, Part 1

Passage: Exodus 3:1-6

When God reveals himself to men, he does so that they might believe on him and love him, so that we might worship and glorify him. So as we come face to face with a monumental passage like Exodus 3:1-6, the point must always be that we must respond to God’s true revelation of himself with faith and love. If it is true that we must respond to God’s true revelation of himself with faith and love, then we should want to know, how does God reveal himself to us? In the text, we see the Lord reveal himself to Moses in four ways:

A Sojourner’s Faith, Part 3 (Worship Service, January 8th, 2017)

Title: A Sojourner’s Faith, Part 3

Passage: Exodus 2:11-25

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 8th, 2017

It has been my contention that these brief episodes from Moses’ life are intended to show to us the vitality of his faith in God and his promises. As we have looked at Moses character during these early years, it has been an encouragement to us that we too must trust the wise providence of our invisible God:

A Sojourner’s Faith, Part 2 (Worship Service, December 18th, 2016)

Title: A Sojourner’s Faith, Part 2

Passage: Exodus 2: 11-22

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: December 18th, 2016

As people who have put our faith in Jesus Christ, who have been graciously chosen by God for eternal salvation, we, like Moses, must trust the wise providence of our invisible God. This is what Moses had to do in these events, and that’s what we must do, even when God leads in ways and through circumstances we do not understand. How do we do this? Moses gives us three examples of how to do this. This week’s sermon is about the second example. 

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

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: December 4th, 2016

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.
