This sermon is a defense of Kyle Rittenhouse's actions. The sermon briefly repudiates the lies of the media. The bulk of the sermon goes into Scripture to show that the right to life, self-defense, and defense of others originate from God and are found in Scripture. Application is then made to Kyle's situation at the end of the sermon. Though many believe these rights exist - few can articulate them from Scripture. This sermon will equip you to do so. 51 min.

From the sermon: "In this sermon I want to address the hue and cry of certain persons who have whined about a 17 year-old having a gun. "How did a 17 year-old get a gun?" "He is too young to be running around with a gun!" "No one his age should have a gun." And on and on. I want to address this childish gibberish. This inane talk. This ignorance of history. History is loaded with examples of young men under the age of 18 fighting battles – using guns and swords." 39 min. MercySeat.net

America has forgotten God. There is delusion and judgment upon America. The three hard things addressed in this sermon are: 1. America is under delusion, 2. America is breaking apart and you must begin to think geographically, and 3. your own government is at war with you at all levels - federal, state, county, and local. The sermon addresses how to respond. Note: if you think things can always be corrected peacefully, you are ignorant of two things - human nature and history. The question of the hour for every Christian to their pastor is: "If the government makes the covid vaccine mandatory, and I refuse to get it for me and my children - would I be doing wrong in the sight of God?" The answer to that question will tell you volumes. The fact you even have to ask the question already tells you something. 58 min.

So I decided to preach this sermon because the churchmen have been demanding a verse or something from the law of God where it says you can disobey the civil authorities if they demand mask wearing. And the verse I give them from the law of God is the ninth commandment – "You shall not bear false witness." My assertion is that when you wear a mask you are aiding and abetting a great fiction. You are aiding and abetting a lie. You are giving credence to a lie. You are joining in a lie. This whole covid matter has been built on a mountain of lies. Exodus 23 verse one (more from God's law) declares - "You shall not circulate a false report." You are circulating or spreading a false report when you wear the mask. V.2 says - "You shall not follow a multitude to do evil." There is nothing BUT evil involved with this masking nonsense. Evil is afoot. And any person with discernment senses it. And when you wear the mask you have joined the multitude doing evil. Mercy Seat Church website: http://mercyseat.net/mscc/ Def

The supreme Court of the Untied States has been dragging America into hell for decades now. While we wait for the Supreme Court to rescind its evil and cure its injustices and immorality – the evil, and injustice, and immorality they have dispensed via their issued court opinions seeps down into the fabric of society and corrupts men. What can be done about it? This sermon looks at both this assertion and this question. The sermon also looks at the question: Do the corrupt morals of the people change the laws of government - or does the government change the laws to corrupt the morals of the people? 39 min.

Science has been proven wrong again and again. Yet many men boast in science and denigrate Christianity. They claim that science is rational and faith is irrational. An utter absurdity which only the least objective person could proffer. Science has often been irrational (we have seen a taste of it over the last two months) and faith is full of rational thought and reason. Faith is not irrational, nor without reason. In fact, reason is part of what brings men to faith. 36 min.

Have the magistrates violated the law and Word of God with their 'Stay at Home' orders? Should churches be barred entrance by the state?

Because we have given the state the place of God – and have declared the state to be God by virtue of how we think and conduct our lives – the Lord has given us over to that god. He is allowing us to get our bellies full of the state. He will show us what a taskmaster the state is. Remember the Jews after they were delivered from Egypt? In Ex. 16 they complained about how their bellies were not full like back in Egypt. They were slaves back in Egypt – but no problem with that as long as their bellies were full. And that is how most Americans are. Slaves to the state. And they are good with it – as long as their bellies are full. 38 min.

God's Word speaks to all matters of life, including the matter of quarantining. The Lord speaks of this in His law in Leviticus 13. And when we look at the law of God we see one thing that comes through loud and clear – you do NOT quarantine the whole of society – rather you quarantine the sick. There is also a process in God's law to follow to determine who is sick. You do not abridge the rights and freedom of everyone and shut down the whole of society. In this we see the goodness and grace of God's law. God's law is more gracious and protects freedom more than man's law. God's law doesn't destroy the economy and lives of others. God's prescription was intended to protect society not only from the disease, but from economic hardship upon those who weren't diseased. You don't abridge every other person's freedom – you quarantine the sick.
