Pastor Neil will continue the sermon series: The Hunt For Treasure with the next message titled-The Treasure Of Love from 1 Cor. 13:1-4 This sermon will help us to focus on how love, particularly the unconditional love of God (his agape love), should be the central pursuit of a Christian's life. God's love for humanity is the most valuable treasure ever given, demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We must actively practice love in our daily lives, turning this treasure from a concept into a lived reality, because without Love, we have nothing.
Pastor Neil will continue the Hunt For Treasure Sermon Series with the next message titled - The Treasure Of Gratitude from Psalms 100 1-5 Psalm 100: This psalm is a call to worship and thankfulness, urging believers to "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise". This sermon will be an invitation to cultivate a heart of gratitude instead of chasing fleeting worldly treasures and a call to invest in the heavenly, spiritual treasure of thankfulness and gratitude. We pray that it will serve as a reminder to each of us, that gratitude is a direct path to experiencing God's presence and to knowing his steadfast love that endures forever.

Aug 17, 2025Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchMatthew 4:1-11Learning From TemptationIn the wilderness they should have learned three things: 1) not to depend on bread alone but on Gods' word 2) not to put God to the test 3) to worship God alone1. Temptation comes around our biggest appetites, v. 2-4Our appetites do four things… 1) create opportunities- so we must learn to ask, “What opportunity does this appetite present?” 2) remind us of our responsibility 3) reflect our identity 4) give somebody/something glory2. The enemy attacks the last thing you believed, v. 3Genesis 3:1 Matthew 3:16 Matthew 4:3 3. Our response to temptation is often times a test, v. 5-7Exodus 17:1–74. Temptation is an opportunity for God to see what you will settle for, v. 7-10Mental worship… 1. Do you have any appetites in your that concern you? 2. Is there anything you once believed but now you doubt it? 3. Is there anything the Father says about you that you find hard to accept? 4. When you are tempted does God have to prove himself all over again or have you tasted enough of His goodness to trust Him?

Pastor Neil will continue "The Hunt For Treasure" sermon series with the next message titled: The Treasure Of Forgiveness Part 2. Based out of Ephesians 4:31-32.
Aug 10, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThinking Through The QuestionsMatthew 3:13-171. What does it look like to be missional? v. 132. Why does Jesus get baptized? Four reasons Jesus gets baptized… a) identifies with the people b) submits to the will of the Father c) practices what He preaches- Matthew 28:18-20 d) to fulfill all righteousness Two ways… 1) confirms John as the forerunner to the Messiah 2) confirms Jesus as the Messiah • Isaiah 42:1 • Acts 8:30-353. What are my real needs?, v. 17Our three biggest needs… a) identity- “This is my son…" b) affection- …whom I love…" Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made, were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill and ev'ry man a scribe by trade, to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, tho' stretched from sky to sky. • Disbelief- the inability to accept something as true • Unbelief- the unwillingness to believec) acceptance- “...with whom I am well pleased.” Three back to school questions… 1) “In God, who's word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh (people) do to me?” - Psalm 56:4 2) “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear: The Lord is the stronghold of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?” - Psalm 27:1 1) Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.” - Psalm 42:5Mental worship… 1. If un-seized time flow to your weakness, where does your unseized time most often go? 2. Which is bigger, your “from” or your “to?” 3. Have you ever been baptized? Why did you or why haven't you? 4. Are you more guilty of disbelief or unbelief? 5. Where were you when you really understood the love of God for what it is? 6. Who's acceptance do you probably want too much?
Pastor Neil will continue "The Hunt For Treasure" sermon series with the next message titled: The Treasure Of Forgiveness. Jesus not only came as the ultimate sacrifice, forgiving us of our sin, so that we may choose to follow Him into eternity, but He asks us to do for others as He's done for us. This concept can be seen many times over in the New Testament including in our scipture for today - Ephesians 4:31-32. An unforgiving spirit does personal harm; it is self-sabotaging. It is not merely missing a blessing; it is sin. It disgraces Almighty God, discourages the saints, drives away the lost, and delights the devil. Once we decide to follow Jesus and join the family of God, we must learn to practice forgiveness like our Father. Jesus knows it may not always be easy; that doesn't mean it is excused. Rather, He offers to help. We need Jesus to be forgiven, and we need Jesus to enable us to forgive. The same one Who has forgiven us is the one Who helps us forgive others!
Aug 3, 2025GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist Church The Kingdom And The Power ThereofMatthew 3:1-12Purpose of Matthew a) tell the story of Jesus b) apologetic and evangelistic c) explore the reality of the Kingdom d) catechetical- to teach the truths of Christianity and their ethical implications1. The proportionality of repentance, v. 1-3The Kingdom of heaven/God is best understood by two words… a) reign b) realm2. The requirement of baptism, v. 4-10 a) confession, v. 6 b) demonstration, v. 7-9Repentance is a change of mind and actions wherein we cease our approval of wickedness (in others) and justification of bad behavior (in self). It is foremost a decisive reorientation of one's life away from the self and toward the Lord. But this subsequent repentance flows from and confirms the initial act wherein we realize our desperate state, admit our need of pardon and come to Jesus in a childlike manner.c) sanctification, v.10“Sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives.” -Wayne Grudem, Systematic TheologyGalatians 5:22-24“Repentance is an inward matter, which has its seat in the heart and soul, but afterwards yields its fruits in a change of life.” - John Calvin3. The moreness of Jesus' baptism., v. 11-12-Romans 8:9-11a) Holy Spirit- the person of Godb) fire- the power of GodMental worship… 1. Do you spend more time asking God to bless your will or submitting to His? 2. How would you describe the Kingdom of God in one sentence? 3. What do you point to on the outside that is proof that you have been changed on the inside? 4. What do you walk away wanting to think more about this morning? 5. Which do you seek more often, forgiveness or fire? 6. How do you keep your love for God from getting cold?
Pastor Neil will continue the "Hunt For Treasure" sermon series this week with the next sermon being titled-The Treasure Of Rest from Hebrews 4:1-3,9-11. We are the busiest people ever and so many are tired and weary. Have you discovered the treasure of rest or are you trading rest for something else? If I just keep going, I can make more money, get more done, etc. If I just do one more thing, then I can rest… If I just had more time, then... What do you gain when you rest? If you fail to rest, you miss out on all that God has for you. It's in solitude, silence, and stillness that we hear some of God's most important messages for us and we learn just how much He loves us when we rest in him.
Pastor Neil will continue our sermon series called - The Hunt For Treasure. The 3rd sermon in the series will be titled: "The Treasure Of Hope" from Titus 2:11-15

Pastor Neil will continue our new sermon series that began last Sunday called - The Hunt For Treasure. The 2nd sermon in the series will be titled: "The Treasure Of Peace" from John 14:27 This is a powerful verse about Jesus' gift of peace. It's a peace that transcends worldly circumstances, offering comfort and security to believers in the midst of life's challenges. We must learn to turn away from worldly sources of comfort and seek the peace that only Jesus can provide and allow the spirit to work in our lives, bringing peace and strength. Only then will we experience the transformative power of Christ's peace in all aspects of life.
Pastor Neil is back with a new sermon series titled The Search For Treasure. Todays sermon is titled Hidden Treasure and is based out of Matthew 13:44-46.
Jun 29, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Balance of GodJonah 4:5-111. The direction of disobedience, v. 5 Here are some examples from Genesis of how eastward movement symbolizes departure from God's will… a) Adam & Eve are put out of the Garden on the east side b) Cain settles east of Eden c) The builders of Babel are headed east when they decide to build a tower so as to make a name for themselves d) Lot separated from Abram and traveled east near Sodom and GomorrahHere is how we drift away from God… 1) a fixation on the physical over the spiritual in your priorities 2) a loss of sensitivity“You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the God. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one — the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters 3) the glorification of feelings2. God acts sovereignly to reveal His nature and our need, v. 6-8Three ways God demonstrates His nature… a) His name- v. 6- “YHWH Elohim” ⁃ YHWH- speaking to Israelites (particular) ⁃ Elohim- speaking to non-Israelites (universal) b) His sovereignty- “appointed…” c) His patience- v. 9 Three ways God demonstrates our need… a) provision- v. 5 b) experience- v. 6 ⁃ Matthew 7:1-2 c) isolation- v. 8b3. God is not ashamed of you, v. 10-11 2 Peter 3:9-10Mental worship… 1. What does drifting away from God feel like in your life? 2. Are you biggest priorities physical or spiritual in nature? 3. What is the latest thing you could clearly identify as God's provision? 4. Is there anything you think or feel but you only say to yourself? 5. What are some of your takeaways from the book of Jonah?

Pastor Neil will be back with us, sharing about his mission trip to Africa and a message from the Lord out of Matthew 28 titled: God's Calling! The CHURCH must GO out into the world. The church must travel where the lost reside. The church must go and must send disciples out into the streets and into the jungles to reach the lost. Disciples cannot be made unless someone has gone. God's Great Commission should not be thought of as optional, but compulsory. Not every church is required to reach every nation, but every church must play a part in discipling the nations. The lost soul across the street will go to the same hell as the lost soul in the jungles of Africa. The Great Commission is a mandate from a merciful God to His faithful church to disciple the lost by going into the world and baptizing and teaching them to obey His commands. Matthew 28:19–20 requires an obedient church with disciples, who are willing to avail themselves for God's glory. The result - is the unfailing love of God spread to the world and the lost being found. Are ready to answer God's Calling and GO?
Jun 15, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchJonah 4:1-5God's Freedom To Be God1. God's nature doesn't conform to our emotions, v. 1Four things about anger…a) anger is a secondary emotionb) anger doesn't earn me the right to be in chargec) anger turned inward becomes depressiond) anger is an invitation to identify your root idolsFour root idols… Power: a longing for influence or recognition Control: a longing to have everything go according to my plan Comfort: a longing for pleasure Approval: a longing to be accepted or desired2. God's nature is not subject to our preferences, v. 2-3Components of a prophetic complaint…a) We accuse God of injusticeb) We point to something God said, did or didn't do as evidencec) We request a correction of the injusticeThree things about God's nature…1) it's not one dimensional2) it's not open to interpretation • Exodus 34:6-83) it's expressed in God's timing • Nahum 1:1-153. God's nature invites self-reflection, v. 3-4Mental worship…1. What is your theology of anger?2. Does your love of country ever over rule God's love for the nations?3. Are you balanced in your view of God's nature? 4. What part of your life is God's nature inviting you to think about today?5. What kind of spiritual progress have you made over the past year?

Jun 8, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorThe Essence of Biblical RepentanceJonah 3:3-3:101. The message you preach informs the response, v. 3b-4Romans 3:23Romans 3:21-252. There is a difference in repentance and appeasement, v. 5-9Notice what they did…a) they believed God, v. 5b) they were sorry, v. 5c) they went into a complete fastd) they prayed, v. 8e) they turned from sin and violence, v. 82 Corinthians 7:8-13The fruit of repentance… 1 earnestness- what is your focus? 2 eagerness to clear yourselves-is telling the truth hard for you? 3 indignation- where is your anger directed? 4 fear- what is your fear? 5 longing- what is the biggest desire of your heart? 6 zeal- what are you most passionate about? 7 punishment- who do you want to punish? 8 proof- what do you point to as evidence that your repentance is real? 9 comfort- who is comforted by your repentance? 3. God's mercy is easily accessible, v. 10Ephesians 2:4-6Lamentations 3:22-24Isaiah 30:18Psalm 103:8Hebrews 4:16Psalm 23:6Mental worship…1. What is missing from the message you preach?2. Which best describes the way you respond when you sin: appeasement or repentance? 3. What did you hear today that you will think about this week? 4. Do you believe God's mercy is as big as His sovereignty? 5. Do people enjoy themselves around you?
Youth Pastor Matt Snow bring the sermon this morning out of Psalm 110:1. Thank you for joining us for worship this morning. We pray that the Lord speaks to you through the worship and the word. Ultimately we pray that you know Jesus Christ as your Savior. If you don't, then this is a great message from the Lord to listen to. Please remember Pastor Neil as he is away in Zambia sharing the good news of Jesus' love.
Pastor Neil will continue the - From Death To Life Sermon Series with the next message titled: "Do You Love Me?" from John 21:15-17 If we demonstrate our love for God in our obedience to his commands, then it seems appropriate to apply this same question to ourselves, “Do you love me?” This question provides opportunities for both conviction in reflection as well as hope in redemption. How does our identity as loved and redeemed by God reflect our response to love him in return? Loving God correctly requires wholehearted and uncompromising devotion to him and his commands, without reservation or dissection. Like Peter, we need regular reminders of God's provision and our dependence on him for all things. Just like Peter, even in our stumbling denials and sin, Jesus loves us and provides an opportunity for restoration of relationship and commissioning for the use of our gifts in service. God's love is assured, but sometimes we need to hear ourselves say it aloud to remind ourselves that we love God and are called for a purpose, even if it is through the redemptive fire of suffering and restoration.
Pastor Neil will continue the - "From Death To Life" sermon series with a message from Genesis 50: 15-21 titled: "Why is this happening to me?" There is nothing like gathering together as one family to lift up the mighty name of our God. No matter what we may be going through, God is still good, faithful and worthy of all that we can give him. The enemy will try to tell you differently! Don't let him steal an opportunity to come and join together and worship the one who is worthy of it all. We hope to see you tomorrow! Psalms 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Jeremiah 10:6 No one is like you, Lord; you are great, and your name is mighty in power. Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
