The Spirit, the Sabbath, & the Sanctuary (Worship Service, January 6th, 2019)

Title: The Spirit, the Sabbath, & the Sanctuary

Passage: Exodus 31

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: January 6, 2019

There are two big ideas in Exodus 31. First, the gracious aid God gives his people to do his work. He helps them build his tabernacle. Second, Israel must be like Yahweh in resting after their work. But what Exodus 31 also shows is that Israel’s work in the sanctuary is much like God’s creation of Eden long ago.

Yahweh’s Priests 2 (Worship Service, November 4th, 2018)

Title: Yahweh’s Priests 2

Passage: Exodus 28:6-35

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: November 4, 2018

If you look at v 4, you’ll see a list of garments Israel is to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash. The breastpiece and ephod go together, and they are together at the heart of the high priests’ garments. The instructions for the Tabernacle began with the Ark, at the heart of the Tabernacle. So God begins with the heart of the priestly garments, the ephod and the breastpiece.

Yahweh’s Priests 1 (Worship Service, October 21, 2018)

Title: Yahweh’s Priests 1

Passage: Exodus 27:20 – 28:5

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 21, 2018

The morning we will look at Israel’s ongoing care for the lampstand, and then at the introduction of the high priests in the sanctuary of the Most High. The great overarching idea today is the great glory of the priestly office. If you can get that, then you should be well on your way to appreciating your own calling as a priest, but also adoring your Lord Jesus Christ, who is the preeminent priest of Yahweh.

The Court and the Altar (Worship Service, October 14, 2018)

Title: The Court and the Altar

Passage: Exodus 27:1-19

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 14, 2018

In Ex. 27, the Lord continues his move outward with the Bronze Altar and Tabernacle Court. The Altar is the way or place through which God is approached by his people. The Courtyard, on the other hand, portrays God’s holiness which prevents sinful men from having unrestricted access to God. This morning, we’ll look at the construction of the Bronze Altar, then the Courtyard, and then we’ll work backwards in speaking of their implications.

The Tabernacle (Worship Service, September 30, 2018)

Title: The Tabernacle

Passage: Exodus 26

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 7, 2018

This week, the Lord God proceeds in ch 26 to discuss the construction of the Tabernacle itself. Remember that tabernacle means dwelling place. In fact, that word for dwelling place is what comes first in the original Hebrew. With that very word, we are reminded again of the very special purpose this tent is given. The tabernacle is God’s home. We must keep this before our understanding and affections as we proceed through Exodus 26. As a place of God’s presence, the Tabernacle is a place of grace, It is a home of mercy and covenant love.

The Ark of the Covenant (Worship Service, September 23, 2018)

Title: The Ark of the Covenant

Passage: Exodus 25:10-22

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 23, 2018

As God explains how the Tabernacle is to be made, he begins right a the center of the Tabernacle, right at the heart of this holy system, with the Ark of the Covenant, the only piece of furniture in the Most Holy Place within the Tabernacle. By beginning with the Ark, he gives great priority to his presence. This morning, we consider this central object, the Ark of the Covenant.

Bring an Offering (Worship Service, September 16, 2018)

Title: Bring an Offering

Passage: Exodus 25:1-9

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 16, 2018

At the end of ch. 24, Moses ascended into the cloud of glory at the summit of Sinai. The first thing that Moses records the Lord speaking to him is that the people should take an offering: “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution.” This message is on Israel’s offering. This offering is significant theologically and practically.
