https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Carr-11.mp3 Pastor Carr begins his introduction to the book of Acts by showcasing the continuity between it and the book of Joshua. He demonstrates that Luke intentionally structures Acts as a book of conquest that is intended to mirror Israel’s initial conquest of the promised land.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cooke-10-12-25.mp3 Matthew 23:29-33 serves as the capstone on this series of seven woes—these covenantal indictments against national Israel. Central to understanding this ‘woe’ is a right understanding of the fifth commandment; honor your father and mother. The scribes a Pharisees said ‘If we’d been living in the...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Car-9-28-25.mp3 How are we to interpret the days in which we live? What must we understand about who and what it is that opposes the kingdom of Christ? Pastor Carr lays out the foundational reality that must undergird our response to this time that has been given to us.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Psalm-131-The-Murder-of-Charlie-Kirk.mp3 Many of us have been devastated. Shaken to our cores. … by the murder of a man we never met- Charlie Kirk. Who committed this atrocity? A lone gunman? Was it a government conspiracy? Perhaps a foreign government or agency? You crave justice; you hunger for answers—so down the rabbit hole you...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cooke-9-7-25.mp3 Two faithful sisters, Euodia & Syntyche, found themselves divided. They scrutinized motives, assumed the worst, and replayed their grievances. Paul points them to a better way: love that doesn’t record wrongs committed against them in an ever running ledger, but that deliberately dwells on what is true, ho...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cooke-8-31-25.mp3 It’s one of those uber-familiar texts: Mt. 23:27 You’re like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they’re full of dead men’s bones. But most people are not familiar with its Old Testament roots in the book of Ezekiel. Listen as Pastor Matt explains how Ezekiel used the ana...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cooke-8-24-25.mp3 From the outside looking in, the scribes and Pharisees  performed all the external shows of righteousness imaginable; with lengthened tassels, broadened phylacteries, scholarly robes, prominent seats, & respectful greetings in the marketplace. But  they neglected the internal holiness that God requires; justice...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Matthew-23_23-24.mp3 You’ve probably heard the phrase: straining at a gnat, swallowing a camel. We use it to describe people who major on the minors and miss the point. But what if I told you Jesus said it first — and He used it to warn of judgment? In this message, Pastor Matt shows why that warning was the very reason Jerusalem fe...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Carr-ST-8-13-25.mp3 Here we face the great threat to the Christian faith, at least according to the atheist or blue haired lunatic. In actuality the discussion of the presence of evil in light of a good and all powerful God is one that brings the Christian confidence and solicits praise.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Matthew-23_16-22-Woe-Unto-You-Blind-Guides.mp3 How are we to understand swearing, vows, and oaths? Didn’t Jesus say not to swear at all? Yet Deuteronomy commands, “You shall fear only the Lord your God… and swear by His name.” How do we reconcile these texts? The Scribes and Pharisees embraced a loophole-laden system of vows — silly...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Carr-ST-7-9-25.mp3 How does God make His presence known to His creation? While there are many secondary means—through beauty, providence, and conscience—Scripture reveals one primary method: covenant.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Matthew-23_13-Woe-Unto-the-Gatekeepers-Outside-the-Gate-of-the-Kingdom.mp3 They claimed to be guides into God’s Kingdom — but they were standing on the outside, slamming the gate shut on those who would enter. The hypocrisy of Israel’s false shepherds was undeniable — men who didn’t love the people, didn’t know the way, and yet pres...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Carr-Systematic-2.mp3 If God is Lord — and He is — then nothing is neutral. Not your ethics, not your politics, not even your understanding of history or science. Everything must be interpreted through His revealed Word.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Matthew-23_13-36-The-Covenantal-Implications-of-the-Seven-Woes.mp3 We hear it all the time from warmongering politicians: “God will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel.” They say it with conviction—rarely with context—and insist it’s self-evident, even axiomatic. But what if I told you that Jesus cursed Is...
