    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.

  • Matthew 23:11-12- The Lowly High Calling of the Kingdom Citizen- Part 2 of 2- The Humble Path to Exaltation- Pastor Matt Cooke

    Matthew 23:11-12- The Lowly High Calling of the Kingdom Citizen- Part 2 of 2- The Humble Path to Exaltation- Pastor Matt Cooke
    Jun 15 2025
    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Matthew-23_11-12-The-Lowly-High-Calling-of-the-Kingdom-Citizen-Part-2-of-2-The-Humble-Path-to-Exaltation.mp3 Matthew 23:11 is one of the more familiar texts in the Bible: “But the greatest among you shall be your servant.” If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably always taken this as a simple encouragement to serve others. Something like, “If you want to be the greatest, then serve the most,” or “In the Kingdom, greatness isn’t measured by gifting or title, but by service.” But if we reduce this rich text to mere moralism, we miss the profound covenantal message Matthew intends his readers to grasp. In this sermon, Pastor Matt unpacks the verse in its full context, emphasizing its courtroom setting, revealing its Christ-centered thrust, and shining a light on the glory of the Gospel and the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth.

    Matthew 23:8-10 The Lowly High Calling of the Kingdom Citizen- Part 1 of 2- The Rejection of Exalted Titles- Pastor Matt Cooke
    Jun 9 2025
    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Cooke-6-8-2025-Matthew-23_8-12-The-Lowly-High-Calling-of-the-Kingdom-Citizen-Part-1-of-2-The-Rejection-of-Exalted-Titles.mp3 What did Jesus mean when He told His followers not to be called Rabbi, to call no one on earth Father, and not to be called leaders? Is there something inherently wrong with those titles? Not at all. Listen as Pastor Matt digs into this text to show that something much greater than a legalistic ban on the use of a few titles is at the heart of Jesus' prohibition. In fact, the rejection of exalted titles is eternally important. It is nothing less than an indication of Kingdom Citizenship.
