Title: Covetousness

Passage: Exodus 20:17

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 20th, 2018

The final commandment is unique. We can find that other ancient cultures echoed many of the precepts of the moral code God reveals here for Israel in the Ten Commandments. But the commandment not to covet is unique. It cannot be found anywhere else. Here the tenth command turns inward.

Title: Sins Against the Truth

Passage: Exodus 20:16

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 13th, 2018

One of the great intellectual plagues of modernity and postmodernity is the idea that truth does not exist. Truth is relative, they say. In one respect, this is the natural conclusion of those who adopt hard materialism. And with God absent, there is no one being who sees everything as it really is. These are more than philosophical problems. These are spiritual problems. This morning we turn to the 9th commandment, You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

As we meditate on the 8 C, we find that it actually speaks to more than simply bare theft and robbery. Once again, God’s word bids us go further and deeper.

Title: No Adultery

Passage: Exodus 20:14

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 29th, 2018

As I stand here, it’s hard to sense the great importance that this message could have for us as a church of Jesus Christ. Some of you have been or will be tempted to commit adultery in its various forms. The sick state of our present age, ranging from rampant divorce, atheism, pornography, homosexuality, and the transgender insanity, can be traced to the cold disregard for this one command of God. Yet this command remains as true today as it did 3400 years ago.

Title: Murder, Or Whatever Tends To It

Passage: Exodus 20:12

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 22nd, 2018

The sixth commandment seems like a strange, far-off thing to most of us. Few if any of us, have ever taken another man’s life. And yet, even here, with the sixth commandment, there is more here than meets the eye. May the Lord open to his holy demands this morning.

Passage: Exodus 20:11

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 8th, 2018

The 5th Commandment may be the one we have heard the most over the course of our lives. We were told it when we were children, even babies. But there is more here than a word about how little children should behave. Indeed, this fifth word is filled with significance.

Title: Taking Up The Sacred Name

Passage: Exodus 20: 7

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 4th, 2018

This morning, we consider the third commandment. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Many suppose this word has to do with a short list of words to avoid in curses. I hope to help you understand that this command is about much more than that.

Title: How is God’s Name Taken in Vain?

Passage: Exodus 20:7

Speaker: Dr. Kevin T. Bauder

Service: Sunday Morning Worship

Date: February 17, 2008*

Special Note: This sermon by Kevin Bauder, preached nearly one decade ago at this church, excellently applies the 3rd commandment to believers today. This sermon was especially formative for Pastor Martin. The sermon was lost in the transition to the current website several years ago. This sermon, however, was “rediscovered” and is now re-posted to the church’s website for your edification in conjunction with Pastor Martin’s own attempt to preach this great text of Holy Scripture.

Title: No Other Gods

Passage: Exodus 20: 1-3

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: February 18th, 2018

Then, we read in ch 20:1, “And God spoke all these words.” So, while Moses was up at the mountain peak, the Lord spoke audibly to him so that his people could hear. And what the Lord said that great day was none other than what we call the Ten Commandments. As they enter into covenant, God presents covenant stipulations that they must follow as his people. This morning, we will consider the first of these.
