Joy in Suffering (Colossians 1:24-27)

Title: Joy in Suffering

Passage: Colossians 1:24-27

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: November 3, 2019

If you’re a Christian this morning, you should expect to suffer. How will you respond when trials and afflictions turn your world upside down? These questions are why we need to listen to Paul. Paul says, Now I rejoice in my sufferings. How can Paul say that he rejoices in his sufferings?

The “First Pope’s” Doctrine of Scripture (2 Peter)

Title: The “First Pope’s” Doctrine of Scripture

Passage: 2 Peter

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 24, 2019

This morning we will look, from his own inspired pen, at Peter’s own view of Scripture. We will see that Peter had a very high view of Scripture, but he wrote Scripture as the way of preserving the Word of Christ for the church.

Persevering in the Faith (Colossians 1:23)

Title: Persevering in the Faith

Passage: Colossians 1:23

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 20, 2019

Faith is the condition that brings us the riches of Christ. Yet it is not any ‘faith’ that saves. The faith that saves is a faith that perseveres. Saving faith is not some opinion or momentary good feeling. It is not here one day, gone the next. Saving faith remains. The key idea is simple: believers must continue in the faith.

Reconciliation Accomplished & Applied (Colossians 1:21-22)

Title: Reconciliation Accomplished & Applied

Passage: Colossians 1:20

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 13, 2019

The goal of these words are headed into verse 23: if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast. Paul’s goal is in part to strengthen their faith and commitment to Christ. It is also to reaffirm for them that Christ’s work applies to them especially. So this is what I want you to see: We must remain committed to Christ because of what he has done for us.

All Things Reconciled to Christ (Colossians 1:20)

Title: All Things Reconciled to Christ

Passage: Colossians 1:20

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: October 6, 2019

Paul wants the Colossians to know the glory of Christ amidst false teaching. To prevent them from error, he teaches the believers of the glory of God’s Son. Today, Pastor Martin concludes the study of these verses and show you two remaining aspects of the glory of Christ.

The Firstborn from the Dead (Colossians 1:18-19)

Title: The Firstborn from the Dead

Passage: Colossians 1:18-19

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 22, 2019

The Christ who is supreme over the universe, is also supreme over the church he is saving out of the universe that was ruined in the Fall. Let us give our attention to this passage and learn afresh of our Lord Jesus and what makes him so glorious.

Serve and Rejoice (Psalm 2:11)

Title: Serve and Rejoice

Passage: Psalm 2:11

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 15, 2019

In an age of worship confusion, this is a text we need to hear. But even more than the current worship problems that inflict evangelicalism, worship is why we were created. Psalm 2:11 is a call to give to God what is due him. A.W. Tozer defined worship this way: “To worship is to feel in the heart and express in some appropriate manner…a humbling but delightful sense of admiring awe and astonished wonder and overwhelming love in the presence of that most ancient mystery, that unspeakable majesty, which philosophers have called the mysterium tremendum, but which the prophets call the Lord our God.” Worship is the most important activity in the universe.

The Head of the Body (Colossians 1:18)

Title: The Head of the Body

Passage: Colossians 1:18

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: September 1, 2019

Christ is the head of the body. The previous verse taught that Christ is supreme over creation. Now we learn that Christ is the head of the church. The headship of Christ is parallel to his eternal preeminence over all creation. Paul is saying something truly great about out Redeemer here. This title, the head of the body, is meant to extol Christ. There is a special relation that Christ has to his redeemed, the people who comprise his church. Paul wants us to understand this, and admire Christ for it. To this end, this morning I want you to see the significance of Paul’s words about Christ.
