Title: No Adultery

Passage: Exodus 20:14

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 29th, 2018

As I stand here, it’s hard to sense the great importance that this message could have for us as a church of Jesus Christ. Some of you have been or will be tempted to commit adultery in its various forms. The sick state of our present age, ranging from rampant divorce, atheism, pornography, homosexuality, and the transgender insanity, can be traced to the cold disregard for this one command of God. Yet this command remains as true today as it did 3400 years ago.

Title: Murder, Or Whatever Tends To It

Passage: Exodus 20:12

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 22nd, 2018

The sixth commandment seems like a strange, far-off thing to most of us. Few if any of us, have ever taken another man’s life. And yet, even here, with the sixth commandment, there is more here than meets the eye. May the Lord open to his holy demands this morning.

Passage: Exodus 20:11

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 8th, 2018

The 5th Commandment may be the one we have heard the most over the course of our lives. We were told it when we were children, even babies. But there is more here than a word about how little children should behave. Indeed, this fifth word is filled with significance.

Title: Remember Jesus Christ, Risen

Passage: 2’nd Timothy 2:8-10

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 1st, 2018

The church is in a fight for survival against a subtle enemy and hostile world. Sin is rampant. Lust threatens us all. Love of the world may turn us into deserters. Suffering will shake us. Persecution is still a reality. We need a bedrock to give us footing as the world around us seems to totter and shake. Verse 8 has the core idea for Timothy with the world seemingly spinning out of control: Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel. In the midst of your struggles against the world, the flesh, and the devil: Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.

Title: The Triumphal Entry

Passage: Luke 19:28-40

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 25th, 2018

The focus of this passage is on the Lord Jesus Christ. The disciples’ response is important. Their words of praise, echoing Psalm 118, is clearly given to us as a positive example. Jesus clearly thinks the praise is a good thing. One point of the story of the Triumphal Entry is that we should respond to these events the same way Jesus’ disciples did. Luke’s account of the triumphal entry suggests at least three distinct reasons for us to rejoice in Christ.

Title: Israel’s Sabbath

Passage: Exodus 20:8-11

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 18th, 2018

Today, we consider the 4th commandment. In the NT era, this is one of the most controversial commands. Someone’s approach to the 4th commandment often indicates how he understands the relationship of the OT law to the church.
