Mercy Seat Christian Church

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. MercySeat.net

When all religions are viewed as equal that is when you know you live in a statist hell. Multiculturalism and polytheism are promoted by the state under the guise of religious liberty in our day. This is done by design and for an ingratiating benefit to the State. However, multiculturalism and polytheism under Statism always fails. History is clear on that - just read of the Babylonians, the Romans, etc. Much Scripture is looked at in this sermon. Not anywhere near comprehensive on the topic. 41 min. MercySeat.net

This was a sermon preached on Memorial weekend 2002. The sermon observes those who have died in service for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Most Christians who have suffered persecution down through the ages have been persecuted for acting like Christians - not simply for being a Christian. This sermon is loaded with church history about the suffering of early Christians. Suffering is a part of the Christian life. Martyrdom has been a part of Christianity since its beginning. May Christ be praised- 46 min. MercySeat.net

This sermon was delivered on Mother's Day 2017. It examines three crucial roles for women as mothers. First, as nurturers. Second as teachers. And third as Examples of Faithfulness. G. K. Chesterton once said about mothers- -How can it be a large career to tell other people-s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one-s own children about the universe- How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone-- May this sermon be a blessing to mothers who embrace their office as such. 29 min.

This sermon looks at three aspects of what happens in a nation when God's judgment comes upon it. First, good is called evil - and evil is called good. Second, blindness settles over the people of the land. And third, God blesses the wicked- He grants them favor- he uses them for His purposes. 48 min. MercySeat.net

We are often attacked by Christians for displaying the images of the murdered preborn in public. In this sermon, Pastor Matt responds to a newspaper editorial by a Christian minister using Scripture to condemn such displays. The sermon reveals the need for Christians to employ a sound hermeneutic- to conduct proper exegesis- and make sure they read Scriptures in their context. 37 min.

This is an old sermon portion published for radio nearly 20 years ago. 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. MercySeat.net 25 min.
