Sermon TitleMaking a Holy Week: God in Flesh IntroductionThis sermon explores the significance of Jesus coming in the flesh as the Son of Man. We look at the journey from the fall of man to the gauntlet of Jesus’ final week, focusing on why His humanity was essential for our redemption and how being filled with the Holy Spirit leads us to a miraculous union with God.

ClosingWhile holiness and perfection may seem impossible by human standards, Jesus reminds us that with God, all things are possible.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. TITLE Marriage: Purity INTRODUCTION In this final message of our Marriage series, we tackle a topic that is often avoided in the church but vital to our spiritual health: sexual purity. From singleness to dating and into the covenant of marriage, God’s Word provides a clear “blanket” of protection over our bodies and our hearts. We explore how to move away from the “lustful passions” of the world and instead embrace intimacy as the holy, God-given gift it was always intended to be. SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Ephesians 5:3-4 Matthew 5:27-28 Proverbs 5:18-19 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 SERMON POINTS Talk about it! Don’t let the world be the primary teacher for your children; we must bring God’s truth into the conversation. Know what the Word says! Scripture calls us to flee from sexual immorality and honor God with our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. Make it a priority! Within the safety of marriage, intimacy is a gift from God that requires intentionality and self-control to protect the relationship from temptation. CLOSING God’s will for your life is holiness. While the world tries to define us by our desires, we are called to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Whether you are seeking to start fresh today or looking to strengthen your marriage covenant, remember that your body belongs to the Lord. Invite Him to lead you in purity and honor.

SERMON TITLEMarriage: 2 – Spouses First INTRODUCTIONIn this message, we discuss the importance of prioritizing your spouse and honoring the covenant made before God.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Opening:Jesus encountered a demon-possessed man who embodied Satan’s ultimate goal: to possess living beings and bring destruction. Scripture: Mark 5:1-20 Matthew 12:43-45 Acts 19:13-16 Points: Living beings! Satan prefers to inhabit living creatures rather than places. Demons like this legion preferred to dwell inside a human rather than a distant location. Humans are the crown of God’s creation, so demons target them. Destruction of life! The demons caused extreme harm to the man, including self-inflicted injuries. They destroyed the man’s ability to live normally, forcing him to wander and cut himself. When Jesus freed the man, the demons caused the death of over 2,000 pigs, showing the destructive power of unchecked demonic influence. Normalcy! The community initially accepted the man’s condition, but when Jesus intervened, they feared the power of God. Satan wants his evil to be normalized and unnoticed, making people indifferent to his destructive presence. Avoid the Presence of God! Demons operate freely when God’s presence is absent. The power of God is the only thing that can overcome Satan and his demons. Closing:Satan’s ultimate goal is to possess you—whether through confusion, domination, or destruction. The story of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5 shows how deeply Satan targets human lives. Ask yourself: Who will you be possessed by? Choose God’s presence and protection over the chaos of the world Watch past services: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/teaching/ Subscribe to Graham Chapel Youth: https://is.gd/grahamyouth Give to Graham Chapel: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/give/ Graham Chapel Wesleyan Church is in Mayo, SC near Cowpens and Chesnee in Spartanburg County.

We are finishing up chapter 7 as Jesus performs 2 unique miracles with the gentiles. One of these is a very controversial passage as Jesus doesn’t answer the way he normally does, and maybe the way we think he should have.

Today we are starting chapter 7 and looking at some great spiritual teachings as Jesus talks about what it is that truly defiles us as humans.

Welcome back as we finish up chapter 6 and talk about two amazing miracles of Jesus further demonstrating his authority over all things!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. IntroductionLast week we learned that we are vessels meant to be filled by God, the only one who can truly satisfy. Rejecting His filling leaves room for other things. Today, we explore “Unexpected Possessions,” uncovering how evil can hide in unexpected places and people, and the importance of guarding our hearts against it. Scripture Mark 1:21-25 1 John 4:1 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 Luke 4:18-19 1 John 3:7-8 James 2:19 1 John 4:17-18 Sermon Points Who? What, when, where? Why? ClosingDo not be deceived; the absence of God’s presence grants evil the freedom to reign. True peace and confidence come from fully surrendering to the Lord. Perfect love casts out fear, ensuring we can face Him with confidence.

Welcome back as we start chapter 6 and talk about 3 very different but very important passages of scripture. Jesus is rejected in his own home town, he sends out his disciples to minister, and John the Baptist is executed.

Welcome back as we finish up chapter 5 and see two amazing miracles that Jesus performs as a response to two very different types of faith.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Sermon Title:Possession – 1 – Created to be Possessed We are vessels—fragile clay jars, temples of the Holy Spirit. God designed us to be constantly filled, yet nothing in this world truly satisfies. We eat, drink, learn, seek entertainment, chase purpose, and crave gratification—but the hunger remains. Why? Because we were created to be possessed. That word might sound unsettling because we often associate it with demonic possession, but in reality, God intended for us to be possessed by Him. ScriptureEphesians 3:16-191 Peter 2:91 Corinthians 6:19-20John 4:10, 13-14Ephesians 5:15-18 – Be filled with the Spirit Sermon Points1. God wants to possess you2. There is a black hole in us3. Only God can fill it4. We will be possessed by something5. The solution: Be filled with the SpiritClosingPossession is real. Satan works subtly, often through anonymity, waiting for an opening. Don’t make yourself available to the enemy. You have nothing to fear when you are possessed by God. But when God is rejected, the void is left for the enemy to fill. Choose to be filled with the Holy Spirit—because you were created to be possessed.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Sermon Title: A Christmas Spirit – 4 – A Spirit of the Wisemen IntroThis sermon concludes our series on having a Christmas Spirit by looking at the wise men. Just as the iconic “Christmas Song” was written to set a mood, the spirits of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds set the stage for the first Christmas. Today, we explore how the journey and faith of the magi help us understand what it means to truly believe and prepare for Christ. Scripture– Matthew 2:1-12– Matthew 2:16– Daniel 1:20– Daniel 9:20-27– Hebrews 11:1 Sermon Points1. The mysteriousness!2. The wise men aka the 3 kings aka the magi!3. The source!4. The gifts!5. The future! ClosingThe spirit of the magi is a spirit of faith. They believed in the message passed down through generations for over 500 years. True Christmas spirit involves believing in God’s promises enough to build your life around them and preparing the next generation to be ready for Christ’s work in the world.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Introduction:This series on having a Christmas Spirit focuses on the spirit of the people who brought Christmas into existence. Mary had a spirit of willingness. Joseph exemplified a spirit of obedience. Today, we talk about the spirit of the shepherds. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Isaiah 55:11 Malachi 3:10 Psalm 66:16-20 Luke 16:10-11 Points: The Lord is still communicating! The shepherds went! The shepherds told! The shepherds were faithful! Closing:Do you want to have a Christmas Spirit? Are you willing? Are you obedient? Are you being faithful in where you are? If you are faithful in the little things, God will trust you with greater things. The shepherds are a wonderful testament of that as we celebrate Christmas!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Introduction Thankfulness is a tool, an attitude, and an expression. It’s important to remember that thankfulness comes before the fruits of the Spirit. We are called as believers to put forth the effort to be thankful, as it precedes the development of love, joy, peace, and other spiritual fruits. Scripture References Philippians 4:4-7 I Corinthians 1:4-7 I Thessalonians 5:16-18 2 Corinthians 4:14-18 Sermon Points Thankfulness comes before love! Thankfulness comes before joy! Thankfulness comes before peace! Closing We will never have the capacity to be thankful until we take our eyes off the things of this world and fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, His kingdom, and the things of heaven to come. Thankfulness comes from faith, knowing that everything bad now will pass and the perfection and glory of Christ is coming. Thankfulness comes first, and the fruits of the Spirit will quickly follow!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Introduction:Thankfulness is a divine tool and an attitude that, through surrender to Christ, becomes an inherent part of us, overflowing as an expression of our faith. Scripture References:* Colossians 2:6-7* John 10:26-28* Ephesians 4:15* James 1:2-3* 2 Corinthians 3:18 Sermon Points:* Thankfulness results as we continue to follow!* Thankfulness results when our roots grow deep!* Thankfulness results when our faith grows! Closing:No matter what comes our way thankfulness can become a natural expression of who we are as we belong to Christ Jesus our Lord. As 2 Corinthians 3:18 states, we are changed into His glorious image, and thankfulness is one of many attributes of becoming more like Christ.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Thankfulness, as discussed last week, is a powerful tool from God for faith, worship, and giving Him glory, opening spiritual doors to our Heavenly Father. But thankfulness is also a vital attitude—a mental and emotional position, a state of readiness to respond in ways that please Christ and bring glory to His name. When thankfulness becomes an integral part of who you are, it transforms how you serve the Lord. Scripture References:* Philippians 4:6-7* Philippians 4:11-13* Colossians 3:1-4* 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Sermon Points:* Thankfulness is a form preparation!* Thankfulness is a witness!* Thankfulness sets you up for success! Closing:Thankfulness can be a conscious choice, like picking up a tool, but it also needs to become an attitude—a deliberate posture of readiness to give thanks. Are you willing to embrace this?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Title: Thankfulness is a Tool Introduction:Thankfulness is an essential tool for all believers. It’s a sacrifice, a form of praise, and a key to personal growth in Jesus Christ. Just like any tool, the more you use it, the better you get with it. This sermon explores how thankfulness can be one of the greatest tools you have at your disposal and why it must be used regularly. Scripture References:* Psalm 50:14-15* 1 Timothy 4:4-5* Psalm 50:23* Psalm 100:4* Colossians 3:16-17* Colossians 4:2 Sermon Points:* Thankfulness is a form of faith!* Thankfulness enables us to worship!* Thankfulness removes a burden of responsibility! Closing:Perhaps the unfortunate circumstance of your life isn’t as unfortunate as it feels right now. Perhaps the valley you are going through will be the very thing that will catapult you in your walk with Christ! Thankfulness is the very tool you need right now to see you through this very painful thing that you are enduring. Thankfulness is not something that is going to come naturally! This is not a fruit of the Spirit. Thankfulness is a commitment! You have to decide whether or not you are going to pick that tool up and use it or leave it in the toolbox and keep complaining about what you can’t change. Let the Lord remove that burden from your life with a devoted thankfulness to celebrate who God is and all that he has done for you despite what you may be enduring.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. IntroductionWe have been talking about receiving a new heart. You need the desire to receive it. You must decide to have the transplant. If you do, you will receive a brand new tender and responsive heart. It will not be a weak heart, but a powerful heart with a purpose! Without Christ, our hearts wander from thing to thing. We seek purpose and meaning in many places, but God offers a heart with meaning and purpose through Christ. ScriptureHebrews 8:8–12“The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah… I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people… And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” Additional Scriptures: Psalm 49:7–9; Philippians 3:7–8 Points God gives a promise! He initiated the covenant, paid the price, and offers fellowship now and forever. (Psalm 49:7–9; Philippians 3:7–8) God gives obedience! His Spirit writes His law on our hearts, transforming our desires and enabling us to live in freedom and joy. God gives fellowship! We are invited into partnership with God—sharing His purpose and experiencing true satisfaction. God gives purpose! A calling that impacts eternity and sets us free to challenge the status quo of this world for His glory.
