Bread From Heaven (Worship Service, December 3rd, 2017)

Title: Bread From Heaven

Passage: Exodus 16:1-21

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: December 3rd, 2017

The provision of food is the demonstration of the LORD’s covenantal presence and glory. It is to be a manifestation of God’s care for his people. It is the LORD who gives this food to his people, and the gift of food from God is intended to reiterate his love for them. The bread comes from God. It comes from heaven. The message of this story, the Lord’s message in the miracle of the manna is, “I am with you. You can trust me. Rely on me. Lean into me. I will sustain you. You can know that I will never let you down. I will keep my promises to you. You can be assured that I am your God and you are my people.” That is, true saints believe that God alone can satisfy their greatest desires.

See the Salvation of the LORD (Worship Service, September 17th, 2017)

Title: See the Salvation of the LORD

Passage: Exodus 14:1-14

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

The Lord himself tells us what the purpose of the Red Sea episode is. This is in v 4b: I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD (cf. v 17). The episode at the Red Sea, just like the plagues before it and the Exodus, is really all about God’s glory. God’s purpose in the salvation of his people at the Red Sea is also that Israel would know and glorify the Lord. And the Holy Spirit inspired Moses to write this account at the Red Sea so that we too see the glory of God and better love and believe him.
