Title: With the Angels Let Us Sing Part 2

Passage: Luke 2: 10-14

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 1st, 2017

The birth of Christ brings good news to sinners because the child born is the Lord himself, because the child born is the human Christ, and because the child is born in historical humility. This week, as we gather around the Table, I want to consider the next two verses. They show the proper response to the good news that Jesus has come. Jesus’ birth and all that it means for poor sinners has one fitting response: praise. I want to draw your attention to three important truths in these two verses.

Title: With the Angels Let Us Sing Part 1

Passage: Luke 2: 10-14

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: December 25th, Christmas Day 2016

At one moment, the shepherds are afraid they’re going to perish; the next, they have abundant cause for the highest happiness. And, perhaps best of all, the good news is good news from the most High God, a powerful proof that he loves his people. Though in context, the good news is for all the people—that is, all the Jewish people—this good news will in due time come to us all the world. The point of the angel’s message is that the birth of Jesus is God’s good news for sinful people. According to the angel’s words, there are three ways the birth of Jesus is God’s good news for sinful people.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Title: The Covenant Love of God Part 3 (The Conclusion of Psalm 90)

Passage: Psalm 90

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: November 6th, 2016

Very few men really consider God’s wrath against sin. Very few know the anger God has with men when they turn from the reverence due to God. It is with this dire condition of mankind in mind that Moses turns in vv 12-17 to seek the mercy of the eternal God. These verses reflect how a man of God seeks the grace of God in light of the sad reality of the frail human condition. If God is our dwelling place, these verses show how he is so for his own. So Moses’s prayer suggests three ways we must seek God’s grace.
