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.

Biblical Foundations of Civics- Lecture 6- The Development of Resistance Theory
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.

For the Innocent
Survivors Guide to Prison: Examining a Broken System with Matthew Cooke
The failure rate of our prison systems is staggering, with recidivism exceeding 70% in nearly every state. What should this tell us about the success—or lack thereof—of our criminal justice system? And, how can those who are incarcerated survive the harshness of prison and avoid becoming part of the large percentage who seem to inevitably return? This time on For the Innocent, Michael Semanchik welcomes Matthew Cooke, writer and director of Survivors Guide to Prison, a documentary exploring life in United States prisons from the perspectives of two wrongfully convicted men, Bruce Lisker and Reggie Cole.

Biblical Foundations of Civics- Lecture 4- The Creeds Of Christendom- The Foundations of Western Social Order (Part 1 of 2)
https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Cooke-Civics-12-3-25.mp3 Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life & law. The political structure of a society represents a religion in action. If you change the creed, you will eventually change the law, the institutions, and political structure of a people. The early church didn’t just win theological debates; it replaced pagan social foundations: From cyclical or meaningless history to linear history under God. From emperor-as-divine to Christ as the only true King & Judge. Listen as Pastor Matt labors to demonstrate how the creeds of the ea...

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cooke-10-12-25.mp3 Matthew 23:29-33 serves as the capstone on this series of seven woes—these covenantal indictments against national Israel. Central to understanding this ‘woe’ is a right understanding of the fifth commandment; honor your father and mother.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cooke-9-7-25.mp3 Two faithful sisters, Euodia & Syntyche, found themselves divided. They scrutinized motives, assumed the worst, and replayed their grievances. Paul points them to a better way: love that doesn’t record wrongs committed against them in an ever running ledger, but that deliberately dwells on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy. Join Pastor Matt as he unpacks how this transforms conflict into unity.

But most people are not familiar with its Old Testament roots in the book of Ezekiel.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cooke-8-24-25.mp3 From the outside looking in, the scribes and Pharisees performed all the external shows of righteousness imaginable; with lengthened tassels, broadened phylacteries, scholarly robes, prominent seats, & respectful greetings in the marketplace. But they neglected the internal holiness that God requires; justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Listen as Pastor Matt warns against cleaning only the externals (the only part men can see), while neglecting the heart, which God sees perfectly and will surely judge.

Gospel-Centered Apologetics- Lecture 10- Confirmation for Christmas
https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cooke-Gospel-Centered-Apologetics-Christmas.mp3 A couple of week’s ago I stumbled on an article titled ‘Why You Should Stop Treating Jesus’s Birth Narratives as History.’ This guy loved the Spiritual lessons one could glean from the whole Jesus story. In his construct, the story is ‘truth’ but it isn’t TRUE. That is to say that it did not happen.

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! Listen as Pastor Matt shows how Jesus lambasts the Scribes and...

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; this time with a legal question. They expect to get Jesus to ostracize a portion of His support proclaiming one port...

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 blessing.

Matthew 21_28-32 Delayed vs Pretended Obedience
After the chief priests and the elders refused to answer Jesus concerning the source of John the Baptist’s ministry, Jesus presented them with a question centered around a parable. In this parable one son rebels and then repents while another son pretends to be an obedient son but doesn’t actually obey. Jesus then asks which son did the will of the father. Clearly, it was the first. But then Jesus hits them with a shocking pronouncement, ‘The tax collectors and prostituted would enter the Kingdom before these self-righteous, hypocritical religious leaders!

This group asked Jesus two insincere questions. 1) By what authority are You doing these things, and 2) Who gave You this authority? Jesus’ response is a bit confusing on the surface. He asks them a question, and says if they answer His question He will answer theirs. He asks, ‘What is the source of John’s the Baptist’s baptism, from heaven or of man?’ Does this question see...

An aspect of shooting that many (including me prior to this) don't even consider is the movement we will have naturally as we hold a pistol and pull the trigger. We are not robots, or machines, we are human beings with a pulse so it is natural for us to have a slight movement that translates into a dispersion of shots that increases the further away from the target we are.
