https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Carr-6-14-26.mp3 Why did the Sadducees rush to confront Peter and John after the lame man was healed? What can we learn from this encounter for our current cultural context? Find out why this passage is so relevant to our current battles.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Carr-6-7-26.mp3 Many read the language of verse seventeen as Peter softening his tone toward the people. Pastor Carr demonstrates why the context of the passage actually works against interpreting Peter’s tone as conciliatory.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Stomberg-05-31-26.mp3   Throughout the book of Proverbs we see two distinct pulls working on men; the enticement of the wicked, and the voice of wisdom. Born in sin, all men need to be corrected and trained into wisdom. Those who will not heed the voice of wisdom are proven fools and await the promised destruction. Those who wi...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Cooke-5-24-26.mp3 Matthew 24 is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible, often treated as a detached prophecy about events far removed from its immediate context. But before Jesus speaks of wars, tribulation, signs, and the end of the age, Matthew first shows us something quiet but thunderous: Jesus leaves the Temple. In...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Cooke-5-17-26.mp3 In Matthew 23:37–39, Jesus brings His final public indictment against Jerusalem to its devastating conclusion. The city of peace had become a city of blood. The city that was supposed to receive the prophets murdered them. The city that was supposed to teach the Law to the nations rejected the messengers who called...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Cooke-05-10-2026.mp3 In 1 Peter 3:7, the apostle Peter gives husbands one of the clearest and most searching commands in all of Scripture: know your wife, honor her, be tender with her, remember whose she is, and keep covenant with her so that your prayers may not be hindered. A wife  is a fellow heir of the grace of life, a daughte...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Cooke-5-3-26-1.mp3 We tend to think of patience & grace as basically synonyms. But biblically speaking, that is not always the case. Sometimes God delays judgment in order to display mercy. But sometimes He delays judgment in order to expose rebellion, harden the self-righteous in their chosen path, and vindicate the justice of...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-4-26-26.mp3 Patterns matter. They inform what an author is doing and saying in a book. Pastor Carr shows how Luke shows a pattern in Peter’s preaching and what that means for the book of Acts and how it can help us better understand the text.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-4-19-26.mp3 In this passage Peter and John are confronted with a beggar on the outside of covenantal life. Pastor Carr shows the significance of this man’s healing and why he is a picture of the nation of Israel at the border of God’s blessing but excluded because of uncleanness.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-Acts-4-12-26.mp3 It can be difficult for baptists to think in terms of covenant. In this sermon Pastor Carr shows how Luke necessitates that we think in terms of covenant realities even when we are tempted to get swept up in descriptive narrative.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-4-5-26.mp3 What happens when Christ redeems a people and brings them into covenant with each other? In this passage we see the four pillars of covenant life that shaped the early church and continues to shape the covenant people of God today.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Romans-12_17-21-A-Counter-Intuitive-Offensive-Strategy-Part-2-1.mp3 When evil is done to you, one question matters: will evil only wound you, or will it recruit you? Why would we imitate the evil done to us and thereby multiply it? Romans 12:17–21 forbids revenge, forbids fleshly retaliation, and commands believers to answer evil wi...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Romans-12_17-21-Counter-Intuitive-Offensive-Strategy.mp3 When evil comes against the church, how should we respond? In Romans 12:14–16, Paul gives an answer that cuts against every fleshly instinct: bless persecutors, enter into the joys and sorrows of the body, and do not let pride rule your heart. Join us as we consider how God ca...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Romans-12_9-13-Loving-the-Body-of-Christ.mp3 In a world shaped by mere self-interest and shallow connection, God calls His people to something deeper. Romans 12:9–13 gives us a vision of unfeigned love—love that hates evil, clings to what is good, and gives itself for the good of the saints. Come hear what covenantal love looks like...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cooke-3-8-26.mp3 Last week Pastor Matt showed how the power of multiplication enabled the apostles and the early church to change the world so quickly. Godly men became examples for others to imitate, and those who followed their example became examples themselves. As that life-on-life discipleship continued, the gospel “sounded for...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cooke-3-1-26.mp3 When we look at the enemy all around us, we may be tempted to despair. The enemies of Christ control the news media, the entertainment sector, the monetary supply, education, and virtually every elected official in Washington’s uni-party. Yes, it’s bad out there. It seems as if there are no quick solutions, bu...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Car-02-22-2026.mp3 As Peter’s covenant lawsuit comes to an end, the response of the crowd becomes even more pressing. Listen as Pastor Carr demonstrates the necessary response for both national and spiritual Israel in this conclusion to his Pentecost series.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Carr-2-15-26.mp3   As Peter draws his covenant lawsuit to a close he delivers the final verdict against the enemies of God. Pastor Carr shows how Peter tightens the noose of judgment on those who listen to his sermon.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Carr-2-8-26.mp3 As Peter begins to draw his covenant lawsuit to a close, he introduces corroborating evidence to solidify his condemnation of Israel. The evidence of Christ’s vindication and exaltation not only stood as condemning evidence against Israel, but it also demands that we acknowledge and submit to King Jesus.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Carr-01-18-26.mp3 At Pentecost, Peter initiates formal covenant charges against Israel. In this passage he continues to argue his case against the nation. Listen as Pastor Carr unpacks the evidences Peter puts forth for the dissolution of the covenant with Israel.  

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Carr-1-11-26.mp3 What was the significance of Peter choosing the text from Joel 2 to address the mocking crowd at Pentecost? Find out how he picks up on Joel’s covenant lawsuit and applies it to the hearers in Jerusalem and what that means for believers today.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Carr1-4-26.mp3 It’s tempting to see this passage simply as a descriptive prelude to Peter’s sermon from Joel. However, Luke has packed this portion of Scripture with a ton of OT courtroom language intended to indict Israel for their rebellion against God.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2-Peter-1_5-8-A-Proposed-New-Year-Add-to-Your-Faith.mp3 A new year invites sober reflection. Scripture does not permit spiritual stagnation—God calls His people to real growth in holiness. Are you walking with the Lord as closely as you once did, or have you noticed yourself becoming less watchful, less tender, less godly? It’s time...

Beyond the narrative events, what happened in the scope of redemptive history? Listen as Pastor Carr ties the events of Pentecost to multiple Old Testament prophecies and shows the implications of their fulfillment.
