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.

Title: Taking Up The Sacred Name
Passage: Exodus 20: 7
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 4th, 2018
This morning, we consider the third commandment. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Many suppose this word has to do with a short list of words to avoid in curses. I hope to help you understand that this command is about much more than that.

Title: No Other Gods
Passage: Exodus 20: 1-3
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: February 18th, 2018
Then, we read in ch 20:1, “And God spoke all these words.” So, while Moses was up at the mountain peak, the Lord spoke audibly to him so that his people could hear. And what the Lord said that great day was none other than what we call the Ten Commandments. As they enter into covenant, God presents covenant stipulations that they must follow as his people. This morning, we will consider the first of these.

Title: Our God Is A Consuming Fire
Passage: Exodus 19: 9-26
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: February 11th, 2018
Exodus 19 is something of a Preparation for Worship email to Israel. Remember, according to 3:12, Israel is to worship Yahweh at Mt Sinai. God is preparing his people to worship him. That worship will involve the declaration of God’s Word. In the thick cloud, God prepares his people to believe him and his messenger, Moses. In so doing, Israel learns three crucial lessons about approaching God’s presence to receive God’s Word.

Title: A Kingdom of Priests
Passage: Exodus 19: 1-18
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: February 4th, 2018
Exodus 19–24 is one of the most important passages of the Old Testament and entire scriptures. The covenant God makes with Israel in these chapters becomes the framework through which the great majority of the Old Testament is to be understood.
Our passage is really about God. He is a God of manifold grace, and that grace is seen in the covenant of Sinai. The text makes clear that what happens at Sinai represents his glorious desire for his chosen people. When we pause to look at how God is treating his people in Exod 19, we ought to be ready to proclaim the excellencies of this God who graciously cuts covenants with mankind.

Title: Congregational Government
Passage: New Testament
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: January 28th, 2018
As Baptists, we are committed to New Testament authority because it is Christ’s will that his church be built upon the apostles’ teaching. This authority touches on the question of who has authority to govern local church. This morning, we will see that the New Testament clearly places the government of a local church into the hands of the members themselves.

Title: Now I Know That the LORD Is Greater
Passage: Exodus 18
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: January 21st, 2018
The story of Jethro is primarily given to us to make this important point: All men ought to give the true God glory for his wonderful works. Even during this time of salvation history where God is dealing primarily with Israel, God’s dealings with them is intended to bring all the nations to confess that Yahweh is the true God. Every man, woman, and child ought to give God the glory due his name.
