https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Lecture-8-_First-350-Years.mp3 There is a seemingly endless stream of inaccurate political rhetoric flooding our culture today — rhetoric designed to advance a destabilizing agenda. Do we live on “stolen land”? Are we a “nation of immigrants”? Was this country built by greedy, oppressive colonizers? Absolutely not. In Lecture 8, Pas...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Cooke-Civics-1-14-26.mp3 Not rebellion. Not anarchy. Lawful resistance.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Cooke-Civics-1-7-26.mp3 In Reformed circles you’ll sometimes hear the phrase “Protestant Resistance Theory.” It teaches that civil rulers are limited —by God’s law, natural law, & their covenant oaths—and that tyranny may be resisted, ordinarily through lesser magistrates & lawful constitutional channels, not private, freela...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Civics-Lecture-5.mp3 Every social order rests on a creed. Last week we saw how the creed of the Roman Empire shifted from completely pagan, gnostic Platonism to the increasingly developed Christianity of the creeds: The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Creed of Constantinople, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Athanasian Creed....

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Cooke-Civics-12-3-25.mp3 Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life & law.
