Evangelism: God's Way / A.N. Martin 

Giving of Our Substance / A.N. Martin 

Have you known the blessing of God in the provision of your needs as you have endeavored to honor Him with your material possessions? This adult Sunday School message sets forth three fundamental principles and three major biblical guidelines for giving, along with thoughts on the principle of tithing that every Christian will benefit from hearing.
 

Financial Stewardship / Dean Allen 

A more extended version of this series was originally delivered at the Albany Baptist Church in Albany, New York.
 

The Bible everywhere describes humanity as divided into two distinct and basic classes: the saved and the lost, the righteous and the unrighteous, the sheep and the goats, and those who have the Spirit and those who do not have the Spirit. The Bible also teaches that within these categories there are degrees of abandonment to sin, just as there are degrees of advancement in the life of godliness. However, over the years there has been a widespread teaching based upon I Corinthians 3 which states that mankind is divided basically into three categories. This addition of another basic category of mankind seeks to find room for people who have professed the knowledge of Christ, but who give little or no evidence of a transformed life. The people placed in this category are commonly called "carnal Christians." The purpose of these two sermons is to examine this teaching in the light of the words of I Corinthians 3 and of the larger context of Holy Scripture. If you are finding comfort in the "carnal Christian" teaching, then you owe it to your own well-being carefully to examine this teaching in the light of the Word of God. If you have been disturbed by this teaching, but have been unable to assess it in the light of the Word of God, then this series of sermons should be of help to you. We urge you to listen carefully to both sermons beginning with message number one.

The opening message lays the groundwork for the series by giving instruction in “how to read, study and preach Biblical History.” Then the focus is on Enoch as our example of a man who walked with God, a man who witnessed for God and a man who went to God.
 

These lecture studies touch the heart of the Christian ministry. Pastor Martin begins these lectures by examining six wrong, though not uncommon, reasons to enter the gospel ministry and then moves to four essential elements of the call. The mental, spiritual and practical gifts required for the pastoral office are also examined.

Take Heed to Yourself and to Your Teaching / A.N. Martin 

There are few verses in all the Word of God which more clearly and succinctly set forth the great lifetime responsibilities of the Christian minister than does 1 Timothy 4:16. In this text the Apostle Paul makes clear to Timothy that his first and greatest responsibility is the cultivation of his own walk with God. Second to that, and flowing out of it, is his responsibility to pay close attention to that which he teaches in the name of God. The passage is expounded and brought home with searching application to the conscience of the gospel minister and ministerial student.
 
This brief series is another of the earlier ministries of Pastor Martin and one which was greatly owned of God to the blessing of many in the U.S. and abroad.
 

"We are determined that our life and ministry will unquestionably confirm the unique place assigned to the church in the saving purposes of God. This affirmation is manifested in our doctrine and practice regarding the Christian life, in evangelism and missions, in the training and ordination of ministers of the gospel, in sending forth church planters and in recognizing resident pastors."

Three goals of these messages:
 1. To instruct us so that we will be rightly prepared for our own death.
 2. To help us answer children's questions about death, particularly when someone whom they knew dies.
 3. To be a means of instruction that we may minister consolation and exhortation to one another, particularly to those bereaved.

Basic Questions answered in these messages:
Message One (58 minutes)
 1. How did death enter the world and become a universal part of human experience?
 2. What precisely happens in the experience of death?

Message Two (79 minutes)
 3. What follows immediately upon the experience of death?
 4. What is the ultimate fate of the body and soul?
 5. What makes the difference as to where death will immediately take your soul and
    where your soul and body will be consigned for eternity?

God's Word To Our Nation 

As a nation, we have received many blessings from the hand of God and have much to give Him thanks for and yet, as a nation we have not been living as those mindful of God's kindness to us and of our accountability to God. Instead, we have in gross ways turned away from listening to God and His Word into paths of unrighteousness. In this short series, Pastor Martin shows us from the Scriptures the fact of God's sovereign rule over all the nations including our own and our accountability to Him. He then exposes the putrid sins of moral degeneracy and the horrible sins of religious apostasy of our nation and declares God's Word to our nation in light of our aggravated sins. From God's own Word, we hear a rebuke and denunciation for our nation's aggravated sins and a call to national and personal repentance, reformation and prayer.

TP-R-1

National Sin of Bloodguiltiness - One of the most aggravated sins of putrid moral degeneracy of our nation is that of the unrequited blood of murdered multitudes. Our nation is stained with an ocean of blood that cries to God for His vengeance. Let us cry to God that in his wrath, he will remember mercy. 

A powerful message examining the need of sensitive love and consistent godliness as essential principles of effective fatherhood. Highly recommended!

A follow-up message setting forth  the necessity of setting specific, biblical goals for development and using scripturally warranted means to attain those goals in order to be an effective father. 

In demonstrating that marriage, motherhood and homemaking is indeed a noble and divine calling, he opens the series by showing, from the Scriptures, the direct relationship of this issue to the gospel itself and the need for a radical commitment to God, issuing in a growing non-conformity to the thinking and acting of the world.
