A Kingdom of Priests (Worship Service, February 4th, 2018)

Title: A Kingdom of Priests

Passage: Exodus 19: 1-18

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: February 4th, 2018

Exodus 19–24 is one of the most important passages of the Old Testament and entire scriptures. The covenant God makes with Israel in these chapters becomes the framework through which the great majority of the Old Testament is to be understood.

Our passage is really about God. He is a God of manifold grace, and that grace is seen in the covenant of Sinai. The text makes clear that what happens at Sinai represents his glorious desire for his chosen people. When we pause to look at how God is treating his people in Exod 19, we ought to be ready to proclaim the excellencies of this God who graciously cuts covenants with mankind.

Congregational Government (Worship Service, January 28th, 2018)

Title: Congregational Government

Passage: New Testament

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 28th, 2018

As Baptists, we are committed to New Testament authority because it is Christ’s will that his church be built upon the apostles’ teaching. This authority touches on the question of who has authority to govern local church. This morning, we will see that the New Testament clearly places the government of a local church into the hands of the members themselves.

Now I Know That the LORD Is Greater (Worship Service, January 21th, 2018)

Title: Now I Know That the LORD Is Greater

Passage: Exodus 18

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 21st, 2018

The story of Jethro is primarily given to us to make this important point: All men ought to give the true God glory for his wonderful works. Even during this time of salvation history where God is dealing primarily with Israel, God’s dealings with them is intended to bring all the nations to confess that Yahweh is the true God. Every man, woman, and child ought to give God the glory due his name.

The LORD is My Banner (Worship Service, January 14th, 2018)

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.

Testing (Worship Service, January 7th, 2018)

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.

Nunc Dimittis (Worship Service, December 24th, 2017)

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. 

Magnificat (Worship Service, December 17th, 2017)

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.
