Mercy Seat refuses to aid and abet the irresponsibility of parents. 2. The idea of youth groups is rooted in socialism and statism. 3. Youth groups are rooted in the idea of adolescence. Many ask "Do you have a youth ministry?" The better question is "In what way are youth to be involved in ministry?" This sermon is loaded with history and insight. 56 min.

There is delusion and judgment upon America. The three hard things addressed in this sermon are: 1. America is under delusion, 2. America is breaking apart and you must begin to think geographically, and 3. your own government is at war with you at all levels - federal, state, county, and local. The sermon addresses how to respond. Note: if you think things can always be corrected peacefully, you are ignorant of two things - human nature and history. The question of the hour for every Christian to their pastor is: "If the government makes the covid vaccine mandatory, and I refuse to get it for me and my children - would I be doing wrong in the sight of God?" The answer to that question will tell you volumes. The fact you even have to ask the question already tells you something. 58 min.

And the verse I give them from the law of God is the ninth commandment – "You shall not bear false witness." My assertion is that when you wear a mask you are aiding and abetting a great fiction. You are aiding and abetting a lie. You are giving credence to a lie. You are joining in a lie. This whole covid matter has been built on a mountain of lies. Exodus 23 verse one (more from God's law) declares - "You shall not circulate a false report." You are circulating or spreading a false report when you wear the mask. V.2 says - "You shall not follow a multitude to do evil." There is nothing BUT evil involved with this masking nonsense. Evil is afoot. And any person with discernment senses it. And when you wear the mask you have joined the multitude doing evil.

The Lord speaks of this in His law in Leviticus 13. And when we look at the law of God we see one thing that comes through loud and clear – you do NOT quarantine the whole of society – rather you quarantine the sick. There is also a process in God's law to follow to determine who is sick. You do not abridge the rights and freedom of everyone and shut down the whole of society. In this we see the goodness and grace of God's law. God's law is more gracious and protects freedom more than man's law. God's law doesn't destroy the economy and lives of others. God's prescription was intended to protect society not only from the disease, but from economic hardship upon those who weren't diseased. You don't abridge every other person's freedom – you quarantine the sick.

Christianity therefore can be applied to all areas of life. This sermon applies the Word of God and Christianity to the area of agriculture. This sermon - delivered by Pastor Bill Sebald who is a missionary in Liberia (the 4th poorest country of the world) - is hands on Christianity applied stuff! Preached at Mercy Seat. 51 min.

The sermon looks at both Scripture and statistics, and also promotes the goodness of marriage and family. A barn-burner of a sermon on a topic which needs to be addressed given the present milieu of both American culture and American Christianity. 45 min.

This sermon looks at the battle - how to perceive it and how to fight within it. The sermon shows how important 'intelligence' is to biblical warfare. 53 min. MercySeat.net https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/mercyseat/sermons/325182016517 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Mar 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Rusty Thomas 0:53:53 no Rusty Thomas - Christian Living https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/mercyseat/sermons/418181827410 One of the biggest things Christians can struggle with – is being assured that they are accepted of God. Some – because of this lack of assurance – pull back from serving the Lord because they feel somehow that they are not worthy to serve Him. Others because of this lack of assurance – do all kinds of works to help them feel more accepted. This sermon brings freedom from that bondage. This sermon is from the book of Hebrews. Many Christians wonder - what is the rest of God? And then they wonder - how do I enter this rest? This sermon answers both of these questions by exegeting Hebrews 3:5 to Hebrews 4:10, and by looking at other passages and verses in Scripture. 57 min.

You must be willing to be a man of sorrow. You see things others don’t see. You have to deal with things others have the convenience of ignoring. Isaiah 53:3 says that Jesus was a man despised and rejected of men – a man of sorrows acquainted with grief. Most men cannot handle the sorrow of being rejected of men – our desire as men is so great to be liked. To be spoken ill of; to be hated; to be despised; and all the sorrow and suffering that comes with it - these are things you must be willing to embrace if you want to serve and lead. Leaders are servants. Any other kind of leader is just a tyrant or a life coach. This sermon was preached on November 2nd, 2017 in Indianapolis at an Operation Save America leadership gathering. The sermon covers six experiences of Joshua that prepared him to lead prior to his leading the Israelites. The audio is poor, but completely understandable. 30 min.

This sermon is a plea for young men to use their strength in real battle - found in their Christian life. The sermon asserts that man's desire for war and battle is part of the image of God in man. 46 min.

Most readily 501c3 corporations. But here at Mercy Seat we are not a state corporation. We are opposed to being so. We have a strong conviction against being such. And that of course raises the question – why? This sermon lays out the principle and conviction as to "why" not. It also addresses some of the nuts and bolts of functioning as an unincorporated church; and it exposes and responds to the three most common reasons churches do incorporate. 38 min. MercySeat.net "A more certain way to attack religion is by favor, by the comforts of life, by the hope of wealth; not by what reminds one of it, but by what makes one forget it; not by what makes one indignant, but by what makes men lukewarm, when other passions act on our souls, and those which religion inspires are silent. In the matter of changing religion, State favors are stronger than penalties.” The Spirit of the Laws, Baron de Montesquieu (1748) Here is a link to a recent position paper by a Christian lawyer: http://mercyseat.net/mscc/docs/Should-the-Church-Incorporate-with-the-State.pdf https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/mercyseat/sermons/912171925232 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Sep 2017 12:00:00 +0000 Matthew Trewhella 0:46:43 no Matthew Trewhella - Christian Living https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/mercyseat/sermons/718172332566 The writings of Thomas Hobbes in the 17th century reveal the presupposition of modern day ministers. They have embraced Hobbes' thinking regarding the role of salvation and our relationship to the State. In his book Leviathan, Hobbes schools the Christian that his salvation is not in jeopardy if he obeys the State regardless of what it decrees - so they should obey civil authority regardless of what it decrees. Hobbes has created a form of Christianity in America - embraced by the vast majority of ministers - that causes the ministers and Christians to sit by sipping lattes while the magistrates destroy society. Such Christians actually aid and abet the civil authorities in their evil. 46 Min.

There is plenty of Scripture, church history, and contemporary application. Preached on the 44th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade opinion - the preborn are long overdue for justice.

But in this sermon Pastor Matt shows a few simple ways how we are to live in the current state of Christianity and the nation. He also spends the last 20 minutes of the sermon (starting around the 35 minute mark of the sermon) showing from Scripture that we should be bothered when we see injustice and immorality in the midst of the land. 55 min.

This sermon examines this trait found amongst most men; and answers the questions 1.)why do men conform? and 2.)why do Christians conform? This is a no holds barred sermon which strategically assaults this despicable trait. Very thought-provoking. 54 min.

The sermon addresses the debate amongst Christians. On one side, you have those who say Paul is speaking of a normal Christian experience in verses 14-25. On the other side, those who say Paul is reminiscing about the condition he found himself in prior to his becoming a Christian. This sermon gives a convincing defense of the latter position. 45 min.

This sermon examines a whole host of humanistic reasons for working hard - and finds them wanting. Humanism is the view that man is the be all and end all. It is NOT theistic at all, and in fact, finds a theocentric worldview abhorrent. It believes that man is the center of all things – and that man through his own reason and through science determines what is right or wrong, good or bad. As Christians, we do NOT believe that man is the be all and end all – we are not motivated to do and act based upon "myself" – but rather, based upon what GOD says. I don’t believe in myself – I believe in Him. Therefore, I want my life to be conducted according to His law and Word. So why do I work hard? 33 min.

And such is the state of American Christianity. Because American Christians are lukewarm in their devotion to Christ, they have made Christianity into a religion of convenience. Christianity is now convenient to your lifestyle - whatever that may be - in which you can pick and choose those parts you like and want, and reject those parts you find unappealing or displeasing. We have accommodated ourselves to this world. Our consumption for ease and materialism is no different than the world's. Our consumption of MEism is no different than the world's. We have created theologies which justify our accommodation. We have created a convenient Christianity. You can now be a Christian, and love this present world too. You can pick a Christianity which fits YOUR lifestyle. But Jesus and the Scriptures call us to something far different. 35 min.

Our nation worships youthfulness. Rather than accept their estate in life, many elderly people spend their money trying to look younger than they really are. Rather than realizing that their time is running out on earth, they spend their money trying to change their appearance in an attempt to live in denial of the inevitable. This sermon addresses this penchant, and encourages us to understand that more sand in the bottom of the hour-glass should motivate us to live more fully for Christ. 21 min.

The sermon is from Isaiah 1:10-15. The hands of American Christians are covered in blood. A great atrocity is going on in our land and many are indifferent to it. So often it is not what churches are doing that is wrong - rather it is what they are NOT doing that is wrong. The bible is clear that the Lord disdains worship and prayer when the lives of those worshiping and praying are devoid of doing those things which are dear to His heart and are not living in obedience to Him. May Christ be glorified through our lives.

Paul declares in this passage that those who do not love the Lord Jesus Christ are cursed. The theological term used is imprecation. To imprecate is to invoke God’s righteous judgment – whether upon a person, a people or a nation. This is NOT an unchristian thing to do nor is it merely an OT phenomenon. The reason most Christians today recoil at imprecation is because they have been schooled in unbiblical thought. They have been influenced by universal thought – that God is love and everybody will make it to heaven. Though most in American Christianity would not say everyone makes it to heaven they have bought into this idea that God is a God of love period. They have embraced this false god – the god of love period. Yet the bible speaks of imprecation – both in the OT AND the NT over and over again. God is not just a God of love period – but He is also a God of justice. Imprecation is a normal part of NT Christianity. 44 min.
