Sermons by Mr. Eduardo Martorano (Page 2)
Preserve Me, O God, for in You I Take Refuge
In Psalm 16:1-11, David displays a contrast between the child of God and the person who follows false gods. Mr. Eduardo Martorano describes the godly loyalty, the godly blessing, and the godly prophecy. The psalmist declares, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Why O Lord, Do You Stand Far Away?
Psalm 10:1-18 teaches us how to rely on God for his ultimate justice. Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses this Psalm to describe the alarm of the godly when facing injustice and the appeal of the godly knowing the Lord is King. “O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear.”
I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
In Psalm 9:1-20, David expresses the universal reign of God and his kindness to those who cry out to him for aid. Mr. Eduardo Martorano summarizes David’s praise to God and David’s prayer to God. “I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”
Man’s Place in Created Order
In Psalm 8:1-9, the psalmist David focuses on the glory due to our creator. Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 8 to describe who God is and who we are: our creatureliness, our dignity, and our mortality. “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
In You I Do Take Refuge
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 7:1-17 to highlight David’s response to being slandered. We hear the prayer of those who are slandered: declaring trust in God, defining their innocence, depending on God’s righteousness; the protection of the slandered: God judges the wicked, wickedness backfires; and the praise of the slandered. “I will give to the Lord the thanks due to…
Rebuke Me Not in Your Anger
In Psalm 6:1-10, David reveals much about the character of God. Mr. Eduardo Martorano explains David’s grief in verses 1-7, and David’s relief in verses 8-10. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
The Righteous Man
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 5:1-12 to clarify the life set apart for the Christian man or woman. The psalmist David describes the way believers surrender to God, separate themselves from sin, and spot wickedness. “For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”
Answer Me When I Call
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 4:1-8 to show how trust in God brings peace and contentment. In this Psalm, we hear David appeal to God, assess the situation, and acknowledge security in the Lord. “In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
The Lifter of My Head
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 3:1-8 to bring a message of comfort to all those trusting in God. In this psalm of David, we learn to describe our trouble, describe our God, and to describe our request. “Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people!”
Why Do Nations Plot in Vain?
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 2:1-12 to bring a message of encouragement as we face troubling times. From this Psalm, we learn the scheme of the nations, the scorn of the Father, the subjugation under the Son, and the suggestion of the Spirit. “Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear… Blessed are all who take refuge…
