sermon from Rory Martin on June 26, 2022

What is the connection between knowing God’s word and trusting God? Pastor Rory explores the blessings of wisdom from Proverbs 3.

What if church isn't about you? Pastor Rory's Pentecost sermon explains from Hebrews 10:19-25 that part of being a Christian is to consider one another, specifically how to provoke each other to grow in love and good works. We do that only by being together and encouraging each other when we are.

Proverbs 2:1-22

Warnings provide an opportunity to do the right thing. At the end of Proverbs 1 there is an opportunity for life and hope to all who will listen and respond to the call of Wisdom. Hear from Pastor Rory as he explains the critical implications of this warning and the rightful response for us today.

What is the opposite of wisdom? The proverbs explain that sin is antithetical wisdom, so when we are enticed by sin or sinners we enticed away from wisdom. Pastor Rory explains from Proverbs 1:8-19 that the antidote to enticing sin is listening to the right people, loving the right things, and living for the right purpose.

Where do we seek for wisdom? How are we to find it? Pastor Rory explains that the introductory sentence of Proverbs points us to God for wisdom. Wisdom comes to those hear and fear the Lord.

Ephesians has an important part in the storyline of the Bible. From the moment of humanity's creation through the fall and all the way to the restoration of all things, God is working to give us an identity that isn't based in our world or in ourselves, but in His transcendence and truth. Pastor Rory places Ephesians in the Biblical narrative and points us toward the importance of identity in Christ in this biblical theological sermon to wrap up Ephesians.

Easter is important because it sets the foundation for how we can all be changed. Pastor Rory explains how Jesus's sacrificial death and bodily resurrection ensure our justification and transformation from Isaiah 53.

The Triumphal Entry of Jesus is, in large part, a testimony of God's covenant faithfulness. Like the crowd that day, it's easy to get wrapped up in the exciting drama and details of that grand event. But let's not miss the bigger picture of Palm Sunday. Hear from Pastor Rory as he explains from Isaiah 62 how God's faithfulness sustains our trust.
