Maynardville Fellowship Podcast

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Carr-Survey-LEV-3-25-26.mp3 Pastor Carr shows how Leviticus answers the question of how a sinful people can approach the holy God who dwells among them. He gives special attention to the offerings and sacrifices and how they point to Christ. 

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Carr-Survey-EX-3-18-26.mp3 Pastor Carr walks through the book of Exodus and shows how God fulfills His promise to make Abraham into a nation and establishes a covenant with them. 

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 in the body of Christ.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Carr-Survey-GEN-3-11-26.mp3 The importance of Genesis cannot be understated. If we misunderstand what is happening in the opening book of the Bible we will inevitably miss the gospel and all of the rich blessings God has for his people. Listen as Pastor Carr walks through the foundational book of the Bible. 

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 forth” not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in “every place.” Through the power of multiplication, the influence of faithful Christians reached far beyond the places the apostles themselves had ever gone. This week, Pastor Matt explains an essential qualification: Christianity is not a Lone Ranger faith. God is not simply multiplying isolated believers, but building one unified body made up of many members with different gifts and callings. In Romans 12:3–8, we see that Christians are called to a right view of themselves, a right view of others, and faithful cooperation within the body as together we labor to disciple the nations.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Carr-Survey-3-4-26.mp3 Bible surveys are often dismissed as too elementary, but they offer many benefits to even the most knowledgeable believers. Pastor Carr begins this series by walking through the various genres of the Bible and how they related to the covenantal life of the people of God. 

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, but God has turned things around quickly before. We see one such example in 1st Century Thessalonica. Paul, Silvanus, & Timothy  ‘turned the world upside down’ (Acts 17:6). In I Thessalonians 1:5-7 we see the simplicity of their world-flipping method. &, spoiler alert; it’s men. Convictional, Holy Spirit filled, unflinching men, who pour into other men, who pour into other men. The transformation of our nation by the power of God depends upon the mobilization of men who have been transformed by the power of the Gospel, Follow such men. Be that kind of man. Invite others to follow you as you follow Christ.

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/2026/02/Lecture-8-_First-350-Years.mp3 There is a seemingly endless stream of inaccurate political rhetoric flooding our culture today — rhetoric designed to advance a destabilizing agenda. Do we live on “stolen land”? Are we a “nation of immigrants”? Was this country built by greedy, oppressive colonizers? Absolutely not. In Lecture 8, Pastor Matt examines the complicated, messy history of the American continent and draws important distinctions between settlers, colonizers, and immigrants. Our forefathers were not the villains of history. They were overwhelmingly Christian men — imperfect, yes — but driven by conviction, courage, and a vision that has undeniably blessed the world.  

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/2026/02/Cooke-Civics-1-14-26.mp3 Not rebellion. Not anarchy. Lawful resistance. When civil authority commands what God forbids—or forbids what God commands—Christians must draw a line. Lecture 7 lays out the biblical framework, the jurisdictional boundaries of government, and the tested tactics of lawful resistance developed in the Christian tradition.

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/Cooke-Civics-1-7-26.mp3 In Reformed circles you’ll sometimes hear the phrase “Protestant Resistance Theory.” It teaches that civil rulers are limited—by God’s law, natural law, & their covenant oaths—and that tyranny may be resisted, ordinarily through lesser magistrates & lawful constitutional channels, not private, freelance revolt. But resistance theory isn’t uniquely Protestant. Listen as Pastor Matt shows how it predates the Reformation and is rooted in five ancient Christian creeds.

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 to stop the drift. In this message, Pastor Matt reminds believers that sanctification is not optional, and from 2 Peter 1:5–8 draws three anchors for the Christian life: the effort required, the essential qualities to pursue, and the promised end reward.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Carr-12-28-25.mp3 What happened on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2? 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.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Carr-12-21-25.mp3 What is the festival of Pentecost and how was it observed throughout Israel’s history. Answering those questions are foundational to understanding what Luke is revealing in Acts 2. In this sermon Pastor Carr traces the origins of the Feast, its focal shift, and the ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Carr-12-14-25-1.mp3 See how Luke shows the formation and legitimacy of the early church as a replacement for the Jewish synagogue system and how they used that authority to rule in the matter of Judas and what should happen to his place.
