Note, while the messages on this page will be of special interest to pastors/aspiring pastors, generally, none are so technical or difficult as to be unedifying to all the people of God. Many were delivered on Lord's Day's to the entire congregation, or during the adult Sabbath School hour.

Pastoral Theology Lectures
Pastor Martin delivered his "Pastoral Theology Lectures" to the Trinity Ministerial Academy students a number of times over a period of years. The messages on this page were generally given in the 1980's. Since however he was always rethinking, reworking, adding/subtracting, and fine-tuning the materials each time they were presented, some lectures from other years have also been included, as they were available, and are designated by a linked maroon-colored asterisk. It is recommended that these 'duplicate' messages not be used as substitutes however, but as supplements, because although the titles may be the same, the place where he began/left off in one year's lecture does not always coincide with where he began/left off in a different year, and thus some vital points can be missed. (A note about the messages going from 1 to 84: the "Biblical Call" section [#84-94] was not a part of the original curriculum – it was introduced in later years, and should be inserted at this location. The lectures are laid out and numbered below exactly as they are found in the Trinity Pulpit Catalog.)

The Unique Place of the Church
in a Call to the Ministry

A Call to the Ministry
(Via the academy lectures, this series was delivered ~15 earlier than messages 84-94)
What kind of men does the church draw to and set apart for its official ministry? The answer to this question provides a sure index of the state of that church. In the light of this fact, few things are of greater importance in the practical life of any congregation or denomination than its understanding of what constitutes a Biblical call to the work of the ministry. Those who are vitally concerned with raising the standard of general godliness and piety in our churches must be concerned with raising the standard for entrance into the Christian ministry.

Take Heed To Thyself, And To Thy Teaching
(Via message #4 this series was preached at Reformed Theological Seminary).

Effective Popular Preaching
Albert N. Martin
This apparently was a minister's gathering of some sort, '3,700 miles from home' [California?]. In attendance was "Mr. Murray," and "Jay" [Adams?]. It appears to be an early version of the Effective Pastoral Preaching series, above, and of the Pastoral Theology Lectures delivered at the Trinity Ministerial Academy. While these materials matured over the years as Pastor Martin was able to give them more prayerful thought & study, coupled with additional years of pastoral experience, these three messages are still very much worth a hearing. And yes - of course he explains the meaning of the words in the title. ;-)
