Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions. We learn that Jesus himself is the remedy to our sins, and that the secret to holiness is living in the perfect will of God. Today's readings are Matthew 5-7, and Proverbs 18:21-24.

Send me a Text Message!Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth! Be honest, when is the last time you prayed for meek? Are you seeking meek? What comes to mind when you paint a picture of meek? Well meek is weak right? Blessed are the weak for they shall become the doormats of life and everyone will walk all over them. In fact Webster defines meek as TOO submissive. Blessed are the spineless, for they never stick up for their rights. Blessed are those who never take a stand. Webster calls them spiritless and deficient in courage. But Jesus calls them blessed.Perhaps as much or maybe even more so than a heart that leans toward mourning today, we need a heart that leans towards meek. But maybe, meek is a bit different from what we think? Maybe it really is true, mighty are the meek.

Sep 14, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Consequential Nature of Kingdom FaithMatthew 5:13-161. There is a problem we have to overcome, v. 13! Peter 4:1-4Four ways salt loses its saltiness… a) it is absorbed by its surroundings b) exposure to moisture c) confusion about the purpose of the church d) churches that try to make Christianity interesting instead of making Christians consequential 2. There is a responsibility to embrace, v. 14 a) identity- who God says I am b) activity- what God commands me to do3. True faith is distinguished by the number of people who are affected by it, v. 15-16Mental worship… 1. How is your life distinguishable from the unbelieving world? 2. What environments have been affected by your faith? 3. Do you think you really understand the ramifications of your identity? 4. Does God leaving you here in this world make you think God is missional or mindless? 5. Is the life you are currently living causing others to think about heaven? 6. Which does your faith need more: flavor or illumination?

Send me a Text Message!Have you ever asked God to give you tears? There is so much pain and suffering and brokenness in the world today. But do we mourn for the brokenness? Perhaps we need to pray that God would help us be tenderly moved. When we die and stand before Jesus and he asks us, "How did you feel about the suffering around you?" What will you say? Jesus felt enough cmpssn for Jerusalem to weep. He wept for every broken person in Jerusalem. He wept for their loss. He wept for people broken by sexual sin and financial greed. He wept for people who didn't love their neighbors and wept for hearts filled with unforgiving bitterness. He wept for people missing God's dreams for their lives.Blessed are those who mourn? Perhaps we need to ask God for tears.
Send me a Text Message!When Jesus showed up, on that mountain-top, the people who gathered around were going through a time of deep darkness. While some Jewish leaders experienced an element of prosperity and security, most of them were politically, religiously, and economically oppressed by the Roman Government. High taxes, religious restrictions, crucifixions were common. Most people knew someone who had been crucified. And then Jesus shows up. Remember the report from the last part of Matthew 4? Jesus is proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom; healing people, exhibiting the power of God and telling people about the blessings of heaven breaking on earth. And the news spread and crowds gathered. There were crowds of people who had been broken and experienced loss and given up hope. People who wondered if God was gone and how far they werefrom the blessed life and I think Jesus was telling them, "Don't quit, you are not so far."

Send me a Text Message!Blessed are the poor in spirit, the desperate, the broken. That's Jesus' first step to the blessed life. Blessed are those with open hands because they have nothing in them. That's hard stuff. It's not easy for me to hear. But do you know who this is good news for? This is good news for those who are broken and desperate; for those who just don't know where to turn anymore. I have good news for you. You are so close to a life that thrives on God's blessings. Don't try to hide your brokenness just because the world can't see that it's the first step on a path to true life. Surrender to the King. Open your empty hands and receive heaven's blessings.I am broken and blessed? Well if not yet, you are so close!

Send me a Text Message!As we dive into the beatitudes, we immediately run into the word "Blessed." The word is used 9x's in the first 11 verses of the Sermon on the Mount. The Living Bible translates it, "fortunate, or happy." Eugene Peterson in The Message uses the word "lucky." What is the essence of lucky? It's getting something you don't deserve. In the Greek language, the word blessed is the word makairos. How do you describe, the blessed life? Makairos? What 2 or 3 things would you like to happen in your life, where if they happened, you would consider yourself "makairos." Blessed? What is the blessed life? (And how do we get it?)

Life Group Questions: How did God speak to you through this week's sermon? In the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, who do you identify with the most? (Luke 18:9-14) In what way did the first Beatitude confront your heart? Would you consider yourself poor in spirit?

Tom Clark discusses Matthew 5:14-16—“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
