Title: Rejoice, Endure, & Pray

Passage: Romans 12:12

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 9, 2018

In some ways, the rest of Romans 12 lays out what living Romans 12:1-2 and a life holy to God looks like. How does God’s Word say a transformed mind lives in a cursed world? This specific scripture gives three ways, and I want to develop them this morning.

The Blood Of The Covenant (Worship Service, August 26th, 2018)

Title: The Blood Of The Covenant

Passage: Exodus 24: 1-8

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: August 26th, 2018

Our text draws our attention to the blood of the covenant. It is crucial to this account, and Moses’s words direct our gaze right at it: Behold, the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you. As important were the words of the covenant, Yahweh’s words to the people, and the people’s words back, the blood is especially significant. What do we learn from the blood of the covenant in this passage?

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: August 12th, 2018

In our text for this morning, the giving of the covenant concludes with an epilogue. As the Lord gives the Law, the Lord has again and again stressed obedience. But this passage is also about what God will do for his covenant people. In this epilogue to the covenant, we see what God will do for Israel if they keep covenant. That stipulation is important.

Covenant Worship (Worship Service, August 5th, 2018)

Title: Covenant Worship

Passage: Exodus 23:13-19

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: August 5th, 2018

Worship is vital in Yahweh’s covenant with Israel. There is nothing more important than God. There is no being higher than God. There is no one more deserving of worship than the one true God. For these reasons, God surrounds all of Israel’s life in covenant community with the priority of worship. In Ex 23, we see how central worship is in God’s covenant with Israel. Israel is not a secular nation. She is a sacred nation, a kingdom of priests, and God demands not only her obedience, but her worship. This text from the old covenant teaches us how essential worship is for man.
