  • Matthew 23:29-33- Woe Unto You Who Disguise Your Dishonor

    Matthew 23:29-33- Woe Unto You Who Disguise Your Dishonor
    Oct 12 2025
    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 days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' Their pretended honor of the prophets was really a way of honoring themselves and dishonoring their fathers. When we speak evil of parents, there’s an extra layer of guilt—beyond speaking evil of others. God placed you with them, blessed you by their care, & now entrusts their care to you; God forbid you speak evil when God command you to act for their good. Parents, can you look back & see ways you failed your children? You wish you’d done better; you wish you’d known then what you know now. You pray God will limit or undo damage from neglect, wrong emphases, time misspent. Afford your parents the same mercy you want from your children. Remember: by what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. If you desire mercy, extend it. Is it hard? It certainly can be—justice & mercy hinge on faithfulness through difficulty. The 'weightier matters of the law.'

  • The Murder of Charlie Kirk: Three Things you Must Know- An Exposition of Psalm 131

    The Murder of Charlie Kirk: Three Things you Must Know- An Exposition of Psalm 131
    Sep 15 2025
    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 go. Podcasts, influencers, & news outlets constantly claim to have “Breaking news." This voice is sure it’s a transgender shooter. Another, a government conspiracy. Another points to suspicious “timestamps.” You hear of an arrest. Someone then claims the arrest is a scapegoat. It’s exhausting. Soul-crushingly discouraging. What are we to do with these anxious thoughts in a time like this? We turn where saints have always turned—to God’s Word. Join Pastor Matt as he walks through Ps. 131, where we hear David’s prayer—born in a difficult-to-grasp cultural moment. We don’t know the exact situation behind Ps. 131—& that’s a mercy. God gave it to steady us in many moments, including this one. If you need consolation as you grieve Charlie Kirk's assassination, listen in. If you are encouraged, share with a friend who needs peace today.

    Philippians 4:8-9- Loving With Our Thoughts: Thinking on the Best Things
    Sep 7 2025
    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, honorable, and praiseworthy. Join Pastor Matt as he unpacks how this transforms conflict into unity.

  • Matthew 23:27-28 Woe to Those Who Beautify that Which Defiles

    Matthew 23:27-28 Woe to Those Who Beautify that Which Defiles
    Aug 31 2025
    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 analogy of whitewash to show the guilt of the prophets of his generation, and how Jesus picks up the image, escalating the blood-guilt of the scribes and Pharisees. If the lesser sins of that generation merited the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple, what would the outcome be for this generation?

    Matthew 23:25-26 Cleaning the Wrong Side of the Cup
    Aug 24 2025
    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, mercy, and faithfulness. Listen as Pastor Matt warns against cleaning only the externals (the only part men can see), while neglecting the heart, which God sees perfectly and will surely judge.
