Frogs, Gnats, & More (Worship Service, June 11th, 2017)

Title: Frogs, Gnats, & More

Passage: Exodus 8:1 – 9:12

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 11th, 2017

Last week we saw how the plagues are for the glory of God. The purpose of the first set of plagues is grounded in the purpose of the first, the turning of the Nile to blood. The Lord’s purpose in this plague is plain: by this you shall know that I am the LORD. In the first three plagues, God shows Pharaoh and the Egyptians that he, the God of the Hebrews, is truly God. As the plagues develop, he’ll amplify this message. Any man who takes up his Scripture and reads the Exodus account of the plagues ought to confess that Yahweh is God. There are several ways God glorifies himself in our passage.

Title: He Does Whatever He Pleases

Passage: Exodus 3:16-22

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

The LORD has sovereign power and authority over all things. Yahweh is in control over everything that happens in the book of Exodus. That is because the Lord is over everything that happens, period. This passage is not only about what is about to happen, it is also about a Sovereign God who foretells what will certainly happen because he decreed those events. In light of this truth, the point of this morning’s message is we should trust our sovereign God who does whatever he decrees. Why should we trust God?

Today we consider the theological and practical implications that our God is the I AM WHO I AM or Yahweh. If this is the name by which God is to be remembered throughout all generations, then it is fitting to spend time considering more carefully the meaning of Yahweh, and what it means for us.

The Sacred Name, Part 2 (Worship Service, February 19th, 2017)

Passage: Exodus 3:10-15

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

In a way similar to his call of Moses, God calls us to do extraordinary, things for his sake. He calls us to tasks we are unequal to. I include with this our response to God’s calling on us as Christians, in our vocations and responsibilities, and as evangelists and ministers of Christ to others. As we hear God’s response to Moses, I want us to respond the way God wants Moses to respond: with trust. We must trust the God who calls us.
