How Low Can Grand Parkway Go? 33:30

3 napja33:30

33:30

Mar 23, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH Julian Solis, Spiritual Formation Pastor How Low Can Grand Parkway Go? Philippians 2:5-11 1. Think like Christ in your relationships (v. 5). "Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow.” A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God 2. Give like Christ, who gave His life for you (vv. 6–8). Matthew 23:12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 20:25 -28 3. Allow the Father to lift you up (v.9-11). Isaiah 45:23 Mental Worship: 1. In what ways are selfish ambition, rivalry, or pride showing up in your life right now (vv. 3–4)? 2. This passage calls us to have the mind of Christ. Where do you see yourself living this out well, and where is there room for growth (v. 5)? 3. As a Christian, you’re thankful that Jesus humbled himself and gave his life for your sins. Following that pattern of the cross, how might God be calling you to humble yourself and give today (vv. 6–8)? 4. Where is the Lord pressing you to live this out most— your church, home, work, or community?…

Mar 9, 2025 Neil McClendon, Lead Pastor How Do We Keep Going? Acts 28:17 -31 1. The corporate nature of faith, v. 17-22 Hebrews 11:6-13 Hebrews 11:17 -12:2 2. The sufficiency of Scripture, v. 23-27 2 Peter 1:16 -21 Three things we believe about the Bible… a) the Bible isn’t someone’s opinion b) people didn’t write the Bible c) he Bible is the product of divine inspiration 3. That there will always be an audience, v. 28-29 Revelation 7:9-12 4. Stay focussed, v. 30-31 The book of Acts ends with a focus on two realities… a) the Kingdom of God b) the Lord Jesus Christ Acts 1:1-3 “There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.” Albert Schweitzer Mental worship… 1. Will those who have gone before you recognize what you call faith? 2. When you think and talk about Christianity is it more in terms of “me” or “we?” 3. Is there anything you think about the Bible that may surprise someone? 4. How would you describe the Kingdom of God to someone totally unfamiliar with this reality? 5. What are some things that stood out to you about the book of Acts?…

How To Endure A Long Journey 42:40

Mar 2, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH Neil McClendon, Lead Pastor How To Endure A Long Journey Acts 28:1-16 1. Kindness helps, v. 1-2 “Kindness is a language which the non-verbal can speak and the deaf can understand.” -C.N. Bovee Romans 2:1-5 2. No karma in the Kingdom, v. 3-6 Luke 13:1-5 Four core problems with karma… a) You are responsible for everything that happens in your life both good and bad b) You need neither prayer nor worship c) You have no explanation for trauma or tragedy d) Karma nullifies the reality of grace Psalm 103:8-14 3. The Kingdom comes, v. 7-10 Luke 10:1-12 Four reasons for miracles in the New Testament... a) demonstrate God’s power and authority b) validate the messengers c) immediately piqued people’s interest in the Kingdom of God d) established a platform for the Gospel 4. The Kingdom is communal by nature, v. 11-16 Three Taverns was a real place some two thousand years ago on the Appian Way, just outside of Rome. It was a traveler’s rest and is mentioned in the book of Acts. We don’t know much about it, but from stories we’re told it was a place of thanksgiving and communal hospitality. We imagine Three Taverns as a place weary travelers in the ancient world found rest, community, and conversation—centered around food and drink at the table. Though the world has changed immensely since days of the Roman Empire, the culture of the table has been a constant throughout the ages. At Three Taverns, we believe, as we gather at the table and share our lives together over good food and drink, we are formed at our best as humans. Mental worship… 1 What questions is your soul asking after hearing this sermon today? 2 What was your last experience with kindness that really hit the mark? 3 Are you a functional believer in karma? 4 When the Bible says of God that, “He does not deal with us according to our sins” what does that make you think, feel or want to do? 5 What about your life makes people curious about the Kingdom? 6 Where do you experience rest, community and conversation?…

THE FOG OF WAR 44:04

Feb 23, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. Christopher M. Brooks Pastor to Pastors | Local Church THE FOG OF WAR Ephesians 6:10 -18 New International Version “There are two equal and opposite errors to which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve their existence. The other is to believe and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally please by both or errors, and hail the materialist or the magician with the same delight.” - C.S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters “The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist” Kaizer Soze • Why can't I stop all these random and reckless thoughts? • Why do I feel this low grade anxiety in my chest? • Why is my heart always at war with destructive desires? • Why am I prone to the very behaviors that tore family apart? • Why is so hard to concentrate when I pray? • Why is all the news bad, polarizing, and demonizing? • Why is there so much injustice in the world? • Why do I even care? The fog of war is the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. The term seeks to capture the uncertainty regarding one's own capability, adversary capability, and adversary intent during an engagement. • The devil is diabolos (Greek) – slander or accuser • The satan is hassatan (Hebrew) – accuser, howler, morning star • The evil one • The tempter • The destroyer • The deceiver • The great dragon. Who deceives the whole world • The ancient serpent who leads the whole world astray Jesus also called him the prince of this world – archon - the highest ranking roman official in a city or region (John 12v31, 14v30, 16v11). He claimed of the kingdoms of the world were his to give a way and Jesus didn’t disagree with him (Matthew 4v8-10). He was created by God, (Ezekiel 28v15) This is key; he's not God's equal and opposite but a created being with a beginning. And an end. His original role seems to have been the spiritual formation of human beings through testing. Think of how a teacher tests children to bring them to maturity. But (as we see in the story of Job) he began to drift from his charter and used his skill set to tempt human beings into spiritual deformation (Job 1vs6-12, 2v1-7, Matthew 4v1-11) He sat on God's divine council, a group of hand-selected spiritual beings whose job was to collaborate with God's rule over the world (Gen 3, Isaiah 14v12-13, Ezekiel 28v12-15), But he choose to rebel against God's rule, to seize the world's throne for himself, and to enlist as many creatures as possible in his violent insurgency (Ezekiel 28v15-17, Revelation 12v1-9, 14v9-12, Luke 10v18, Isaiah 14v12-17). For thousands of years, he held sway as the "prince of this world, "(John 14v30, 2 Corinthians 4v4, 1 John 5v19) Jesus came "to destroy the devil's work (1 John 3v8). To"tie up strong man"(Mark 3v27) and set humanity free (John 8v32, 36) Jesus's kingdom was, and still is, nonviolent. How-ever, Jesus likened the kingdom to a warlike assault on the "gates of hell (Matthew 16v18).” In this ongoing war, harm - spiritual, mental, emotional, and even physical-is a very real possibility. Our great hope is in Jesus's return to finish what he started. MENTAL WORSHIP 1. How do you understand the concept of spiritual warfare, and what role do you think believers should play in it today? 3. What specific pieces…

Feb 16, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH Neil McClendon, Lead Pastor How To Survive a Shipwreck Acts 27 1. Have friends, v. 1-8 “I have many things to write you, but I don’t want to write to you with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends send you greetings. Greet the friends by name.” 3 John 13-15 "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’" C.S. Lewis 2. Follow truth not money, v. 9-12 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” I Timothy 6:10 3. Face the wind, v. 13-15 4. Allow the storm to clarify what is essential, v. 16-20 5. Listen to spiritual authority, v. 21-26 v. 24- “God has granted you all those who sail with you!” 6. Have a means of measuring progress, v. 27-32 “They took a sounding...” 7. Find something to be thankful for, v. 33-38 “And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and begin to eat.” 8. Do your part, v. 39-44 “He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.” Mental worship… 1. Who are the friends you look to in order to survive a storm? 2. What is your affection level towards money? 3.

Feb 9, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH Tyler Moffett Teaching Pastor at Grace Fellowship Church John 1:1-5 (ESV) LIGHT IS POWERFUL LIGHT IS REVEALING FIRST OPTION: HIDE John 3:16 -20 (ESV) SECOND OPTION: CONFESS John 3:21 (ESV) 1 John 1:5-10 (ESV) "Any acceptance of the gospel that does not lead to a life of ongoing confession and repentance is not actually a belief in the gospel. To be 99% known and 1% unknown is to be completely unknown. And if you choose to live your life that way, you'll never experience love. You'll never be able to receive it because you are convinced that if the 1% was found out, they would reject you." – Matt Chandler In confession the break-through to community takes place. Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him, and the more deeply he becomes involved in it, the more disastrous is his isolation. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. This can happen even in the midst of a pious community. In confession the light of the Gospel breaks into the darkness and seclusion of the heart. The sin must be brought into the light. The unexpressed must be openly spoken and acknowledged. All that is secret and hidden is made manifest. It is a hard struggle until the sin is openly admitted. But God breaks gates of brass and bars of iron (Ps. 107:16)." – Dietrich Bonhoeffer Colossians 1:13 -14 (ESV) Questions • What is the status of your heart this morning? • Is there some aspect of your life that is currently in the dark? • Where is God calling you to confess & repent this morning? • The breakthrough to community often comes through confession. Who do you need to confess to this week? • Do you believe you can be forgiven of all sin?…

Love the message, v. 11-15 Zoe is the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical. Life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection to be consummated by new and better experiences; including a more perfect body which will last forever. 2.
