    Matthew 23:34-36 When God Gives the Rope- Patience That Ripens Judgment

    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Cooke-5-3-26-1.mp3 We tend to think of patience & grace as basically synonyms. But biblically speaking, that is not always the case. Sometimes God delays judgment in order to display mercy. But sometimes He delays judgment in order to expose rebellion, harden the self-righteous in their chosen path, and vindicate the justice of His wrath. In Matthew 23:34–36, Jesus announces that He will send prophets, wise men, & scribes to that generation—not because they will receive them, but because they will reject them. Their treatment of Christ’s messengers will prove that they are true sons of those who murdered the prophets. From Abel to Zechariah, the blood of the righteous has cried out. And Jesus declares that all of it will come upon that generation. This is a sermon about covenantal bloodguilt, delayed judgment, AD 70, the end of old covenant Israel, and the terrifying reality that God’s patience is not always mercy. Sometimes God gives men enough rope with which to hang themselves.

Pastor Carr shows how Luke shows a pattern in Peter’s preaching and what that means for the book of Acts and how it can help us better understand the text.

    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-Acts-4-12-26.mp3 It can be difficult for baptists to think in terms of covenant. In this sermon Pastor Carr shows how Luke necessitates that we think in terms of covenant realities even when we are tempted to get swept up in descriptive narrative.

    Acts 2:42 Devotion to the Pillars of Covenant Life

    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Carr-4-5-26.mp3 What happens when Christ redeems a people and brings them into covenant with each other?

    Romans 12:17-21 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 2 of 2) 


    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Romans-12_17-21-A-Counter-Intuitive-Offensive-Strategy-Part-2-1.mp3 When evil is done to you, one question matters: will evil only wound you, or will it recruit you? Why would we imitate the evil done to us and thereby multiply it? Romans 12:17–21 forbids revenge, forbids fleshly retaliation, and commands believers to answer evil with good. Listen as Pastor Matt explain how striking back is not victory, but surrender, and how that overcoming evil comes through righteousness, mercy, and trust in the justice of God.

    Romans 12:14-16 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 1 of 2) 


    https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Romans-12_17-21-Counter-Intuitive-Offensive-Strategy.mp3 When evil comes against the church, how should we respond? In Romans 12:14–16, Paul gives an answer that cuts against every fleshly instinct: bless persecutors, enter into the joys and sorrows of the body, and do not let pride rule your heart. Join us as we consider how God calls His people to overcome evil with good through a counterintuitive offensive strategy.
