Pastor Matt's Podcasts

The ninth commandment, You shall not bear false witness, is one that we have reduced to "Do not tell a lie."  This commandment, like all the others was given in order to produce a free people living in a free society under God.  
In our current society that plays fast and loose with the truth, this word is especially relevant to the church, that the church may set the standard for the world.

The Eighth Commandment, "You shall not steal", deals with every aspect of theft.  This commandment guarantees property rights to individuals, however, with rights come responsibilities.  As the Parable of Talents indicates, a servant that is granted much, much is required.  A servant that is granted little, there is still a multiplication required and given back to his lord.  To hide the talent is to steal from the lord.

Adultery is much more than just cheating on your spouse.   It is included in the Ten Commandments because it is an attack on God, the family and the nation.  We need to re-examine the implications of adultery and what it has to do with the foundations of social order again.

Many Christians have begun to lose hope in turning our nation back to Christ. The last statistic that I read was that over 20 million Christians won't even vote this election cycle.  What should be the Christian posture to voting and to civil government itself?  What is the point of voting if things are going to get progressively worse?  The answer is to be found in the victory of Christ in every area of thought and life, and how the church is to enforce that victory every day.

The Sixth Commandment, "Thou shall not murder" has vast implications for our society today.  The further we have moved from God law the greater the moral decay in America.  It has become very clear that we are living in an increasingly unjust society.  The people call evil good and good evil. Once the United States turns again to her biblical roots of law and justice, we will see a great turn in her moral character, safety and righteousness.

In this sermon, we examine what it means to honor your father and your mother.  Far more reaching than the cursory "honor and obey", this is fundamental to a free society.

In this episode, we examine the implications of the Fourth Commandment, the keeping of the Sabbath day holy.  There is much relevance for us today in this commandment.  It has more to do with being separate from this culture of idolatry and resting in the completed work of Christ than it has to do with just taking a day off.  Enjoy.

In this episode we examine the law as a reflection of the Character of Christ, the difference between negative and positive law, and the implications of the Third Commandment on society today.  Enjoy!

Pasor Artur Pawlowski is a Polish born Canadian who is fighting the good fight to recover our liberties once again.  Standing strong against Caesar, suffering for the faith, remaining strong in Christ.  His message will inspire and challenge.  Enjoy...

The Second Commandment deals with idol worship.  We really don't understand just how much idol worship there is here in the United States today.  This sermon defines idol worship, gives some examples, and what we are to do about it.  Enjoy.
