I believe Genesis 16 offers profound implications for how we relate to God, how we relate to others, and how God relates to us. Watch and listen to the story of Hagar and see if you feel the same.

Paul, writing to the church in Ephesus, revealed to them what God had kept hidden for ages… that God had been planning all along to invite the Gentile people in to his family. But what does that look like, and what does it mean for us?

The Prophet Zechariah was speaking to Israelites who had just returned home after 70 years of Exile in Babylon. What was God saying to Israel through the words of Zechariah then, and what is God say to us NOW through both the ‘words’ of Zechariah AND the ‘works’ of Jesus?
I delivered this sermon at The Grove on Sunday, March 14 of 2010 (pardon the audio artifacts that randomly show up in the first few minutes… they’re annoying, but they go away)

Tell the Old Story, Sing a New Song from Colby Martin on Vimeo.
Sunday, July 5th, I got the privilege of doing the morning teaching at The Grove (www.thegroveaz.org). Speaking from Psalm 98, I helped to describe Biblical Worship. This was also the first morning that we incorporated dance into our worship gathering. At the end, you’ll see Natalie Voyles telling the story of God through dance while Amy Zurowski sings “How Great Thou Art.”

For one of my classes at Fuller Theological Seminary, I chose to do a video for my final project where I explore the different uses of lighting and video within the context of corporate worship. Interviewing several local worship leaders and experts in the field, my findings where encouraging and convicting.

Focus on Worship from Colby Martin on Vimeo.
It can become easy sometimes to focus on the wrong things during worship on Sundays… the band leader, the music, the lights, etc… On this particular Sunday at The Grove, the band will lead some music from the back of the auditorium, in an effort to “re-focus” our worship on Christ. This video set up that moment.

TEACHINGS (on .mp3)

Hidden for Ages

Sermon at The Grove
Given October 24th, 2010 at The Grove. Through a series on Ephesians I explored Paul’s use of “Mystery” and the coming together of the Jewish Christians with the Gentile Christians. If God worked through mystery in the past, might he still do so today? Right Click here and save the file.

Are We Really Out of Exile?

Sermon at The Grove
While in a series through the minor prophets, I spoke about Zechariah and the calling to rebuild the temple. They had to wonder if they were really out of exile… relevance for today? Absolutely. Right click here and save the linked file.

Tell the Old Story, Sing a New Song

Sermon at The Grove
Sunday, July 5th, I gave the sermon at The Grove and spoke from Psalm 98 about the relationship between ‘worship’ and ‘story.’ I got to share my heart and passion for worship, and how it involves telling the Story of God over and over, in different ways, so that His story might become our story.

Story and Worship
Chapel Service at Corban College
I had the privilege to return to my Alma Mater (Corban College, formerly Western Baptist College) last fall and share at their opening chapel services. While there, I shared some of my thoughts about worship, as well as leading them in some worship. If you’d like to hear the message I gave, right click here to save.

Drop Your Stones
Sermon at The Grove
To kick off 2008, I shared with the people of The Grove how vital it is that we take seriously Jesus’ call to not judge others. Preaching from John 8 and the woman caught in adultery, I say ‘drop your stones of judgment.’ Right click here to save file.
