    Matthew 23:14 Woe to the Wolves in Shepherd’s Clothing
    Jul 13 2025
    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Matthew-23_14-Woe-to-the-Wolves-In-Shepherds-Clothing.mp3 Listen as Pastor Matt uncovers the horrifying irony of those who wore the robes of shepherds while devouring the most vulnerable sheep. Each of the synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, reveals the same chilling indictment: religious hypocrisy dressed in pious theater, preying on widows and the weak. Listen in as Jesus thunders judgment from Ezekiel and Zephaniah, declares covenantal divorce on a corrupt nation, and warns all who dare pose as Shepherds for personal gain: “You will receive greater condemnation.”May we all take refuge in the True Shepherd—the One who doesn’t devour His sheep, but lays down His life for them.

  • Systematic Theology- Lecture 3- The Lord’s Covenant Presence

    Systematic Theology- Lecture 3- The Lord’s Covenant Presence
    Jul 9 2025
    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. In this lecture, we trace the major covenants of the Bible and discover how each one reveals God’s intent to dwell with His people and bless them through His abiding presence.

  • Matthew 23:13 Woe to the Gatekeepers Outside the Gate to the Kingdom

    Matthew 23:13 Woe to the Gatekeepers Outside the Gate to the Kingdom
    Jul 6 2025
    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 presumed to speak for God. Jesus’ first woe in Matthew 23 isn’t mere condemnation; it’s the opening line of a covenantal divorce decree. The light of the world would no longer shine through national Israel. But make no mistake — the Kingdom from heaven is still invading the earth. “The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing the fruit of it” (Matthew 21:43). With that transfer came new gatekeepers… and a new stewardship of the Keys.Christ has given those keys to His Church. Listen as Pastor Matt Cooke traces this theme through the Old Testament and the Gospel of Matthew — and calls believers to stop bowing to those outside the gate.

    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Carr-Systematic-2.mp3 If God is Lord — and He is — then nothing is neutral.

Listen as Pastor Carr unpacks the massive implications of God's Lordship over all of life.

    Systematic Theology- Lecture 1- God’s Central Attribute: A Look at Lordship
    Jun 25 2025
    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Carr-ST-6-25-25.mp3 What exactly is Systematic Theology? And when we talk about God’s attributes, where’s the best place to start? In this episode, Pastor Michael Carr argues that it all begins with God’s Lordship- and that His control, authority, and presence naturally flow from there.

  • Matthew 23:13-36 The Covenantal Implications of the Seven Woes

    Matthew 23:13-36 The Covenantal Implications of the Seven Woes
    Jun 22 2025
    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 Israel? Cursed them to the point that He took the Kingdom from them and gave it to a new people, a people who would bear its fruit. What if I told you that the “Israel of God” isn’t a modern political state, but a New Covenant community, gathered around the Risen King? It’s not a hot take. It’s Bible—every word of it. In this sermon, Pastor Matt walks through the covenantal logic behind Jesus’ seven woes on the Scribes and Pharisees, and shows how rightly understanding these judgments delivers a fatal blow to the modern cult of Zionism.

  • Elder Panel Discussion- How Should a Christian Think of Giving and Tithing?

    Elder Panel Discussion- How Should a Christian Think of Giving and Tithing?
    Jun 18 2025
    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Panel-6-18-25-noise-removed.mp3 Few topics ignite more heated debate among Christians than tithing. Is it a timeless expectation for God’s people, or a relic of the Old Covenant? Passion runs deep on both sides. Tithers often view non-tithers as greedy or lacking faith, while skeptics of tithing accuse its defenders of legalism. In this panel, the Maynardville Fellowship elders tackle the real heart issues beneath the controversy; exploring generosity, humility, and how to walk with conviction without dividing the Body.
