Micah was sent to preach to Israel and Judah - the northern and southern kingdoms - after they had risen to heights of economic affluence - but had fallen into spiritual decadence.----Micah was a country boy so to speak who was called of God to bring His message to Israel. Micah addresses the two capitols of the two kingdoms. He addresses Samaria which was the capitol of the northern kingdom - and he addresses Jerusalem which was the capitol of the southern kingdom. Why the capitols in particular addressed - and why did the Lord send a country boy to preach to them-----The capitols embodied the place of power and wealth - as they often do in our day. Washington DC - the national capitol is utterly wicked - full of power and wealth. Madison - our state capitol here in Wisconsin - utterly wicked - full of power and wealth. And we could go from capitol to capitol across all the states of the nation and see the same thing.----When man rebels against God - he trusts in the arm of his own flesh - he trusts in the state. And capitols are where the statists gather. Capitols are where those who desire power gather. Capitols are where those who desire wealth via the teat of the state gather. 35 min. MercySeat.net

Do you believe what Joshua says here - really - with real life consequences - -But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord-- - or is that just a nice plaque you can put on the wall of your home-----Do you take your arrows and affix the three feathers properly- Are you a good fletcher with your children- Do you take your arrows and affix the three feathers properly- The feather of doctrine- the feather of apologetics- and the feather of experience - action out on the field of battle for our Lord- Winning the hearts and souls of men to Him- Making a stand for His kingdom in the earth-----Or do you teach them to pursue wealth, ease- Do you run them on the hamster wheel to college - just because you want them to thrive financially- Or do you want them to be an arrow that pierces deep into enemy territory and causes no small stir for Christ in the earth-----The family is the bedrock of all society. What better place to stand- What better place to begin to build- And where is your house- Do you open the Word of God there- Do you discuss the things of Him there- Do you strategize to bring His law, Word and Gospel to the nations there-----Our unions as husbands and wives - our marriages - our homes - should be battle tanks for the Lord. They should be A-10 Thunderbolts which take out enemy tanks- The Lord refers to your children as arrows - not flower pots.----Do you hone your arrows for battle - or do you entertain them with the nonsense dispensed by most churches in America- Puppet shows - pizza parties - games - trips and all the other stupidity- 55 min.

Hermeneutics is the science and art of biblical interpretation. The purpose is to ascertain what God has said in the Scriptures- to determine the meaning of the Word of God. Exegesis is the careful, systematic study of the Scripture to discover the original, intended meaning of the author to his hearers. There are five areas to consider when doing your exegetical work- 1-. Biblical Introduction 2-. Cultural Context 3-. Historical Context 4-. Literary Context, and 5-. Geography. This sermon looks at many passages to give you hands-on experience in how to do your exegetical work when studying the Word of God. 55 min. MercySeat.net

Was the Masterpiece Cake Case a good opinion issued by the Supreme Court or a bad opinion- Christians have said both. This sermon takes a definite position. In this opinion, the Court talks a lot about government neutrality. The sermon demonstrates that government being neutral is a myth - it also reveals what the neutrality is designed to accomplish. 44 min.

This is a sermon for those who are involved in faithful service to Christ. It is also a sermon for those who desire or need a desire to faithfully serve Christ in the earth.----Francis Schaeffer Once stated- -Does Christianity bring you any troubles- If it does not, you have not been active enough. As Christians we are in the midst of a war. If we never have any troubles, if we have nothing but peace, we have not been involved in this war in the midst of a generation that has rebelled against God.- And this is where most American Christians find themselves.----How will you demonstrate the faithfulness of Caleb in your life- Who or what are the giants that God wants you to oppose- Why is your sword in its sheath in a rebellious nation like ours- Why is it not on the stone ready to do battle- 25 min.

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.

This is a sermon portion from continuing through the Book of Joshua verse by verse. This sermon starts with chapter 13, verse 22 where Balaam is mentioned and then looks at the references to him in the New Testament - all of which have to do with false teaching. This sermon provides four bulwarks by which Christians can defend themselves from being influenced by false teaching. 30 min. MercySeat.net
