Upon Whom the End of the Age Has Come

The Days of Unleavened Bread remind us of our calling. This is a joyous occasion - when the Israelites looked out over the Red Sea that God had used to swallow up the Egyptians, they were free, but they had brought their slave mentality with them. Freedom has to be handled and used very carefully and judiciously. The examples given in the Bible are for our learning. Have we let go of the mentality of slavery, of bondage? The Holy Days keep us on the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life. We can see where we have been, where we are now, and what the future holds. This sermon was given on the Last Day of Unleavened Bread.

Kenneth Martin was a pastor for the United Church of God, who served as an elder in the Church of God for 55 years before his death in 2021 at the age of 81.

Ken graduated from Ambassador College (Big Sandy, Texas) in 1966 as student body president and valedictorian. He was ordained an elder in June 1966 by Herbert Armstrong, and served God’s people for the remainder of his years. In that time, he touched the lives of thousands of people and served in the following congregations: Dallas (Texas), Fort Wayne and South Bend (Indiana), Toledo and Findlay (Ohio), Birmingham and Jasper (Alabama), Atlanta, Carrolton, Macon and Columbus (Georgia). He also served the United Church of God as regional pastor for the Southeast region and served as chairman for the Prophecy Advisory Committee.

His joy was to serve those whom God is calling at this time to be the first fruits of God’s great plan of salvation via Jesus Christ… preaching repentance and the good news of the coming Kingdom of God!
