The statistics and studies repudiate the narrative created by the media, Black Lives Matter, and certain government officials that white officers are killing black men just because they are black. This sermon looks at statistics and studies, and also addresses the leftist agenda, false media narratives, and police reform. 52 min. MercySeat.net

Many Christians believe they are obligated to forgive everyone. Is this teaching found in the Bible? What does Jesus actually say about dealing with a brother who sins against you?

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 3/8/2009
A prologue is simply an introduction to a discourse. It sets the stage for what is going to be said. In this sermon, Pastor Matt discusses when the Book of Revelation was written. He also discusses the interpretive process for the book regarding the literal/symbolic debate. He then exegetes the three verses, and establishes a time-frame for the fulfillment of what John saw and wrote of.

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 8/9/2009
The futurists have a problem. The angel told Daniel to seal up the prophecy he saw because it was a long way off - and the angel told John NOT to seal up his prophecy because it would take place soon, shortly, and the time was at hand. This begs the question - if there was 500 years from the time Daniel wrote until the time John wrote - how could 2000 years since John wrote what he wrote be soon, shortly, and the time be at hand? The futurists do all kinds of hermeneutical gymnastics to try and and make this glaring contextual problem fit into their schemes, but utterly fail.
The truth is - Revelation is about the inauguration of Christ's kingdom in the earth. It is not about a conclusion (the end of time), but about a commencement. It is not about an ending, but a beginning. What John wrote about in Revelation has already taken place. It did take place - as the angel said - soon, shortly, and yes, the time was at hand. The bulk of what John wrote about took place by 70 AD with the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 6/28/2009
Keys represent authority. Christ possesses 'the key of David', not the Jews. Christ opens and closes the door, and Christ declares to the Philadelphian Christians that He has given them 'an open door and no one can shut it', not even the Jews. Those Jews who reject Christ are now declared by Christ to be 'the synogogue of Satan.'
