"Managing Your Own Household Well" (1 Tim. 3:4-5, 12)

In this series, Matthew covers a lot of ground with men in the two areas of marriage and parenting, and it's all about God's purpose and design for our families. In the first half, he focuses on a man's role as husband and aspiring to love our wife as Jesus loves His church and unselfishly gave Himself up for her. In the process, he takes a penetrating, lively, and sometimes painfully honest look at many of the issues implicit in leading, communicating, staying heart connected all the time, and maintaining intimacy.

The second half is devoted to a man's role as father and having vision for the entire season of life called "parenting." Subjects covered included aiming your children from infancy "in the way they should go," our responsibility in training and disciplining our children, keeping our children's hearts with ours, sheltering our families from evil influences, parenting together in harmony with your wife, the differing aspects of raising sons and daughters, launching our children into adulthood, and much more.

What makes this teaching especially unique is because these truths are shared with an ongoing, direct linkage between men being proven in the "managing of their own households well " and being qualified for leadership in the church (1 Tim. 3:4, 12). This series will speak to men in all stages of life—from single young men who are looking toward marriage and needing to establish a vision for "their own household" to newly married who are in need of equipping, to men well down the road who need encouragement and refreshing.

This is an updated version of this teaching that was recently re-recorded and is significantly expanded from previous releases. Six-CD set $33

"I keep these in my truck and listen to them all day. They have changed my home." -Texas

"Created for the Man's Sake" (1 Corinthians 11:9)
This is a potent encouragement given by Maranatha for wives to embrace God's wonderful design in relating, submitting, and giving to their husbands. Given in her gentle yet uncompromising way, Maranatha encourages women to honestly look at the motives and issues of their heart with respect to how the Lord has called them to walk in the matters of daily life in relation to their husband. The response over the past ten years to this teaching has been both overwhelming and dramatic. We have received literally hundreds of letters with the same testimony—a changed marriage.

(Because some have wanted larger quantities of this series in order to start accountability groups where they can listen to segments of the teaching individually and then come together, look up the scriptures mentioned, and encourage one another in their roles as wives, we now offer a box of six CD sets for $72—a 20% discount over ordering six sets individually)

Mothering
In this series, Maranatha shares on the deeper aspects of God's purpose for motherhood in her simple and practical manner, helping mothers recognize their vitally important role in molding their children's hearts with eternity in view and equipping them with practical ways to help accomplish this. Encouragement is also given in the areas of cultivating pleasantness in the home and restoring the joy of motherhood for those who feel like they have lost it.

"...so helpful in training my children's hearts. I get something new every time I listen."

Audio Teaching by Matthew

Seeing, Entering and Expressing the Kingdom of God
Jesus and the apostles constantly taught, preached, and demonstrated the kingdom of God. Why then do we really know and hear so little of His kingdom in our day and time when it is what Jesus explicitly told us to "seek first" and proclaim (Matt. 6:33, 24:14)? This series looks in-depth at how we are to see, enter, and express the kingdom of God in our daily lives. This is a revolutionary call for Christians to awaken to Jesus and His realm, "put on and wear" who we are in Him, "fight the good fight of faith" (1 Tim. 6:12), and abide more consistently in/with Him. This is probably unlike anything you will ever hear in Sunday sermons.

The Eternal Purpose of God
This series is for hungry, dare-to-be-honest Christians who seek to be fully faithful to the Lord, and who want to know His heart and walk in His way even if this takes them out of "the mainstream." Why is there such a dramatic difference between the church we read about in the New Testament scriptures and the impotent, worldly religious institutions we see fragmented all over the religious landscape today? What is God's ultimate purpose and aim for His people and how do we cooperate with it? What did the Lord mean when He said, "Come out of her, My people," referring to Babylon? What have we gotten ourselves into that we need to come out of? These are some of the questions upon which light is shed in this series.

Today's Choices and Eternity's Consequences
What did Jesus mean when He spoke of "those who are considered worthy to attain the resurrection from the dead" (Luke 20:35)? What did Paul mean when he said "in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Phil. 3:11)? If the Lord Himself and an apostle of Paul's stature so comfortably spoke of being "considered worthy to attain" and "attaining to" the resurrection, then how come Christians today never speak in these terms and would even feel very uncomfortable speaking of it in this way? Most people's first thought is, "Considered worthy? What is there to 'attain' to? Isn't it automatic if we've been saved?" Do these common responses betray a flaw in our general understanding about the resurrection? Why is there a great divide among Christians between those who teach "once saved, always saved" and those who espouse that you can "lose your salvation"? Is the Lord in confusion about this matter, or has He clearly revealed His truth in the scriptures but we miss it because of our modern evangelical biases and traditions? Are there really eternal ramifications, good and bad, to a Christian's choices and deeds in life, or is the life we live just simply not that big of deal though we do get rewarded a little extra in eternity if we choose well? These are a few of the many subjects covered in this series.

Encouragement for the "Doing" Part of Faith

We all know that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26), and that our believing God will be expressed in some way if it is real. This tape takes a look at God's specific provisions for instructing His people in the "doing" aspect of walking by faith. And the biblical name by which this practical instruction is called will shock you. A delightful redeeming of a specific term that has been largely ruined and taking heart in the reality behind it!

Two-CD set $10

Dealing with Temptation
We all deal with temptations of many varieties—how do we overcome? What "tools" are available to help us when we are being tempted? What is the Lord's "way of escape" and how do we take it (1 Cor. 10:13)? This message contains a thorough and encouraging look at the whole subject.
Two-CD set $10

Walking in Forgiveness
An in-depth look at releasing those who have wounded us and then walking free from bitterness. Shared especially in light of God's call for us to walk together as His holy, set apart people and not allowing "advantage to be taken of us by Satan" and his schemes through the inevitable offenses that come in our life together.

Individual CD $8

Hindrances to Moving with the Holy Spirit
There are two basic default settings from which to "do life," and everyone's flesh has a primary bent toward one of them—and they both get in the way of flowing with the Holy Spirit's leadings. This teaching deals with our "modus operandi baggage" and shows what it means to truly wait upon the Lord with openness and then act when He reveals His will.

"...so enjoyable to listen to... I felt very convicted and yet hugged at the same time."

Loving from Freedom
In his letter to the churches of Galatia, Paul explicitly declared that we "were called to freedom" and that "it was for freedom that Christ set us free." Because of this, we are to "keep standing firm" in our freedom in Christ and are "not to be subject again to the yoke of slavery" that comes with living by law (Gal. 5:1-15). At the same time, we are commanded repeatedly to love. How then do we love the Lord and one another from freedom when it is what we are supposed to do? How do we obey the Lord's command to "fervently love from the heart" and yet abide in His freedom and keep ourselves from turning it into "the leaven of the Pharisees" (living by law)? This teaching provides encouragements and exhortations that will help reconcile these types of dilemmas that all disciples of Jesus have to deal with when seeking to walk with pure motives in obeying "the greatest commandments."

Subtle Ways We Walk Like "Mere Men"
It is easy to recognize the obvious and blatant deeds of the flesh in order to deal with them, but what about the subtle ways we can, as Paul said, "walk like mere men" instead of as "new creatures in Christ" (1 Cor. 3:3)? This teaching looks at a number of ways we may be doing this without realizing it so we can turn from them and make more room for the Lord in our lives.
