    Neil McClendon, Lead Pastor Grand Parkway Baptist Church How Jesus Operates In This World Matthew 9:1-8 1. What Jesus see informs what He does, v. 2 & 4 2 Chronicles 16:9 2. What Jesus does is in response to faith, v. 2 Faith is... • characterized by assurance and conviction, v. 1 • produces a sacrificial lifestyle, v. 4 • causes me to believe in God’s existence, v. 6 • empowers me to act out of keeping with culture, v. 7 • allows me to obey without knowing all the details, v. 8 • makes me believe beyond my circumstances, v. 11 • makes delayed gratification doable, v. 13-16 • allows me to make hard sacrifices, v. 17 • means I can speak future blessings over my children now, v. 20 • makes me capable of worshipping until my last breath, v. 21 Luke 18:8 3. Jesus starts with the biggest need, v. 2 4. Jesus came to change what we know, v. 3-8 Two things Jesus wants us to know... a) Who I am- “Son of Man” • Daniel 7:13-14 b) What I have the authority to do- “forgive sins” Mental worship... 1. Does Jesus see enough faith in you to speak into your situation? 2. Can you discern between your loudest need and your biggest need? 3. How can people know that you understand what it means for your sins to be forgiven? 4. Is what you know about Jesus changing? If so, how? 5.

    The Clarity and Priority of Following Jesus | Matthew 8:18-22 | Pastor Neil McClendon

    Neil McClendon, Lead Pastor Grand Parkway Baptist Church The Clarity and Priority of Following Jesus Matthew 8:18-22 1. Jesus wants disciples not a crowd, v. 18 • Matthew 8:14-17 Two things that drew a crowd... a)spiritual authority b)physical dominion • Luke 14:25-27 2. To follow means to experience, v. 19-20 • John 15:18-21 3. Following interrupts timing, v. 21-22 “I have now to ask whether you can consent to part with your daughter early next spring, to see her no more in this world ? Whether you can consent to her departure to a heathen land, and her subjection to the hardships and sufferings of a missionary life? Whether you can consent to her exposure to the dangers of the ocean; to the fatal influence of the southern climate of India; to every kind of want and distress; to degradation, insult, persecution, and perhaps a violent death? Can you consent to all this, for the sake of Him who left His heavenly home and died for her and for you; for the sake of perishing, immortal souls; for the sake of Zion and the glory of God? Can you consent to all this, in hope of soon meeting your daughter in the world of glory, with a crown of righteousness brightened by the acclamations of praise which shall resound to her Savior from heathens saved, through her means, from eternal woe and despair?” -Adoniram Judson Mental worship... 1. Do you ever think of yourself in terms of having spiritual authority and physical dominion? 2. Can you remember a negative Christlike experience that you had and how did you respond? 3. How would your mental health be affected if you saw your negative experiences as a Christlike experience? 4. Do you ever wonder if God’s plan for your kids is different than yours? 5. Is there anything you’ve told God you would do when ____________ happens? Be sure to follow us: Instagram Facebook Youtube
