https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Carr-12-8-24.mp3 The first half of Zechariah’s sixth night vision portrayed the flying scroll exposing the hidden sins of Israel. The second half of the vision shows how God will remove Israel from their place of honor. Pastor Carr shows how to apply this text to Israel’s post-exilic context, their first century context, and what th...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Carr-12-1-24.mp3 The first four chapters of Zechariah consist exclusively of blessing and promise, but in the sixth vision the tone shifts to covenant curses.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Carr-11-24-24.mp3 How will God accomplish is purposes with his chosen people?

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Carr-10-27-24-redo.mp3 The people of Israel find themselves in a dire position in this text. See how the marvelous grace of Christ was extended to His people even 500 before his redemptive ministry on earth.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Carr-10-20-24.mp3 What is the nature of the promises to Old Testament Israel with regard to their city and temple? Many mistakenly apply these promises to the “end times”, but pastor Carr shows in this sermon why these promises were fulfilled initially in Zechariah’s time and finally in Christ.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Carr-10-13-24.mp3 Zechariah’s second vision is his shortest, but it full of restoration and promise.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Carr-10624.mp3 The first vision of Zechariah’s ministry reveals the way that God interacts with his covenant people. The gracious and comforting words that he offers for Israel are also offered to his covenant people today.

The worship of the false god Baal has brought the Northern Kingdom of Israel under the condemnation of the Lord in the book of 1 Kings. To show that the Lord is God and not Baal, the Lord causes a drought to come over the land and it does not rain for more than 3 years. Listen as Brother Cody Maples walks us through 1 Kings 18, and we will see a showdown between the prophet of God, Elijah, and the...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Of-Images-and-Imagery-Zechariah-1_7-11.mp3 It can be difficult to understand what you’re reading in prophetic literature. Fortunately, there is great internal evidence to help you understand the symbols and imagery that is used. This sermon walks through the four primary images in the first vision of Zechariah.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-Lord-Remembers-Zech-1_1-6.mp3 Does God see me in my distress? Will he be faithful to his promises toward me? Does he have a plan for my future? It may be surprising to many, but Zechariah opens his book answering these very questions.

One of the great encouragements in Scripture to press on in faithfulness, regardless of how we feel or what we see around us, is that God is not mocked. Sowing to the flesh, no matter how the wicked seem to prosper, will bring only corruption. Sowing to the Spirit, will bring eternal life. Listen as Caleb Stomberg, Pastor of Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks Minnesota, encourages...

Jesus has finally silenced the relentless attack of the religious leaders. They don’t know how to answer Jesus’ question. Furthermore, they are so intimidated by His wisdom that ‘no one dared from that day to ask Him another question.’ One might expect Jesus to kind of, ‘live and let live.’ If the Scribes and Pharisees are no longer going to attack Jesus, then H...

The day after the triumphal entry was a doozy of a day. All the groups of religious leaders banded together in their opposition to Jesus. Matthew tells of how they tried to intimidate Jesus, incriminate Him, discredit His theology, and diminish the influence He had over the crowds. In each instance they failed. Now Jesus goes on the offensive. He asks them two questions designed to expand their un...

The religious leader’s have come after Jesus relentlessly since the triumphal entry and the cleansing of the Temple, but each time Jesus has warded off their attacks and made them look foolish. He was unfazed by their attempt at group intimidation. He avoided the Pharisees political trap to catch Him in treason, and answered what the Sadducees thought was an unanswerable Theological inconsis...

When you mention the most wicked cities in history, Sodom and Gomorrah will always be on the list. The Lord calls their sin “very grave,” and the men of the city are called “wicked, great sinners against the Lord.” When we come to chapter 19, we see the Lord pour out his Wrath upon the cities because of their wickedness. Yet, at the same time, we see his Mercy displayed in the character, Lot. List...

Some texts are easier to understand and accept than others. This one is a doozy! What’s with this law about marrying your deceased brother’s widow if they had no kids before he died? And how are we supposed to feel about there being no marriage in heaven? And how are we ‘like the angels in heaven’ in the resurrection? After a surface reading, this text probably leaves you w...

This text is the go to text for statists: ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ It is regularly used as a proof text for unlimited submission to leaders, and unquestioned acceptance of any tax burden levied by those leaders. But is that what Jesus is saying? Listen as Pastor Matt shows from the biblical and historical context that there is a lot m...

The chief priests and elders of the people attempted to intimidate Jesus after the triumphal entry and the clearing of the temple. Let’s just say it did not work…. like at all. In response Jesus gave three parables that progressively indicted the Jews as a whole, and the religious leaders in particular for their rebellion and wickedness. Listen as Pastor Matt shows how this third parab...

What is the proper approach to restoring a brother ensnared by sin? How should a Christian pursue someone who has been excommunicated? Many believe that the approach is the same in both situations, but Scripture is clear that the situations present two different paths to restoration and reconciliation.

Listen as Pastor Josh Woody explains how the local church is to corporately work out their salvation with fear and trembling before a holy God.

Disagreements and conflicts in the church are burdensome, but they are not to unique to your church. The same sorts of conflict was present in Ephesus, Colossae, Philippi, & Corinth. Paul even says that divisions are necessary & even helpful. 1 Cor. 11:18 When you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; & in part I believe it. 19 For there must also be faction...
