This is a Christmas sermon preached in December 2000. The sermon looks at the movie - It's a Wonderful Life - in the light of Scripture. Short and to the point.

The orthodox teaching about the nature of Christ is that Jesus was fully man - fully human, while here on earth, and yet, He was fully God - fully divine. This sermon makes this orthodoxy clear from Scripture. The sermon is loaded with Scripture. It also contains interesting church history.

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 4/25/1999
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.

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 7/3/2011
Many Americans sense there is something severly wrong in America. What few understand however, is that the wrong they sense is the result of the 'rule of law' crumbling in our nation.
This sermon picks up where The Crumbling Rule of Law in America sermon ended. It answers the question – How are we to conduct ourselves and what should be our response when the State makes law contrary to the law of God?
This sermon is loaded with history, and destroys the current popular belief that we owe unlimited obedience to the State. This sermon is a barnburner. This sermon will deepen your respect for the law of God.
