2024/09/02

Jesus has finally silenced the relentless attack of the religious leaders. They don't know how to answer Jesus' question. Furthermore, they are so intimidated by His wisdom that 'no one dared from that day to ask Him another question.' One might expect Jesus to kind of, 'live and let live.' If the Scribes and Pharisees are no longer going to attack Jesus, then He can just go about His business freely. Why enflame their passions against Him, right? But what do we see? We see Jesus on the attack

2024/08/19

The religious leader's have come after Jesus relentlessly since the triumphal entry and the cleansing of the Temple, but each time Jesus has warded off their attacks and made them look foolish. He was unfazed by their attempt at group intimidation. He avoided the Pharisees political trap to catch Him in treason, and answered what the Sadducees thought was an unanswerable Theological inconsistency in Jesus' worldview concerning the resurrection. Now the Pharisees are attempting to test Jesus again;

2024/08/15

When you mention the most wicked cities in history, Sodom and Gomorrah will always be on the list. The Lord calls their sin “very grave,” and the men of the city are called “wicked, great sinners against the Lord.” When we come to chapter 19, we see the Lord pour out his Wrath upon the cities because of their wickedness. Yet, at the same time, we see his Mercy displayed in the character, Lot. Listen as brother Cody walks us through Genesis 19 and we will see the disgusting wickedness of Sodom, how

Some texts are easier to understand and accept than others. This one is a doozy! What's with this law about marrying your deceased brother's widow if they had no kids before he died? And how are we supposed to feel about there being no marriage in heaven? And how are we 'like the angels in heaven' in the resurrection? After a surface reading, this text probably leaves you with more questions than answers. Listen as Pastor Matt unpacks this difficult passage, and points us to the death and

Matthew 22:15-22 Render Unto Caesar?

Maynardville Fellowship Podcast ·

2024/08/04

This text is the go to text for statists: ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ It is regularly used as a proof text for unlimited submission to leaders, and unquestioned acceptance of any tax burden levied by those leaders. But is that what Jesus is saying? Listen as Pastor Matt shows from the biblical and historical context that there is a lot more going on here than a blanket instruction to submit to any and all human Government, and how that

Matthew 22:1-14 The Parable of the Marriage Feast

Maynardville Fellowship Podcast ·

2024/07/29

The chief priests and elders of the people attempted to intimidate Jesus after the triumphal entry and the clearing of the temple. Let's just say it did not work.... like at all. In response Jesus gave three parables that progressively indicted the Jews as a whole, and the religious leaders in particular for their rebellion and wickedness. Listen as Pastor Matt shows how this third parable points to the irrationality and wickedness of their collective rejection of His offer of grace and

What is the proper approach to restoring a brother ensnared by sin? How should a Christian pursue someone who has been excommunicated? Many believe that the approach is the same in both situations, but Scripture is clear that the situations present two different paths to restoration and reconciliation.

Disagreements and conflicts in the church are burdensome, but they are not to unique to your church. The same sorts of conflict was present in Ephesus, Colossae, Philippi, & Corinth. Paul even says that divisions are necessary & even helpful.1 Cor. 11:18 When you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; & in part I believe it. 19 For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you. The key is that WHEN there is a

Christians are commanded to take dominion of the world and disciple the nations under Christ, but we will never take dominion of the world if we do not first take dominion of our own bodies. Listen as Pastor Josh Woody exposits Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 to discipline our bodies and keep our bodies under control, lest we lead ourselves to destruction.

2024/04/28

Have you ever read the story where Jesus cursed a fig tree for not having any figs on it? Doesn't that story seem a bit weird? Did Jesus let His hunger and disappointment in not getting any figs cause Him to act rashly and out of character? Absolutely not! Everything Jesus did was under control and purposeful. Listen as Pastor Matt explains this unusual narrative, and the symbolic lesson it is teaching concerning the future of Jerusalem and the Temple.

Jesus has set up quite the spectacle by arranging to enter Jerusalem in the by which He did. He was making a clear statement concerning His identity as the promised Messiah, and the Galilean crowds fully bought into His message. Listen as Pastor Matt contrasts the positive response of the Galilean with the negative response of those in Jerusalem. And then challenges us to respond in faith and joy to a God who establishes His purpose regardless of man's resistance. The empty tomb is evidence of our

In Matthew 20:29-34 Jesus heals two blind men..... almost exactly like He did in Matthew 9:27-31. There too, Jesus encounters two blind men. There too, the blind men show a remarkable urgency & persistence in their cry for help. There too, these blind men demonstrate an astounding understanding of Jesus’ identity; confessing Him as both Lord & as Son of David. There too, Jesus heals them of theirblindness. With just a surface reading, we see these same basic elements as in Matthew 20:29-34. So why

That James and John would sit on the right and left hand of Christ in His Kingdom.

Last week Pastor Matt explained the particular elements of the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. He did not explain what Matthew intended to convey. What is meant by  the Kingdom of Heaven/The Vineyard? Who do these early morning laborers and late day laborers who receive just as much as the early morning laborers represent? And how are the early morning laborers provoked to jealousy? Listen as Pastor Matt 1) shows how this text is rooted in the O.T. tradition. 2) Considers what’s going on
