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 alw...

Opening:
Jesus encountered a demon-possessed man who embodied Satan’s ultimate goal: to possess living beings and bring destruction.

Scripture:

Points:

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!

Introduction
Last 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.

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.

Sermon Title: A Christmas Spirit – 4 – A Spirit of the Wisemen

Intro
This 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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

God gives us a new heart that is tender, responsive, and filled with purpose. That purpose draws us into authentic community where devotion, awe, and unity define our lives as believers.

Scripture

Points

New hearts will devote themselves!

New hearts will have awe!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.

Introduction
We 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.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.

In part two of the “New Heart” series, we explore the spiritual transplant God wants to perform in us. Just like a physical heart transplant, it’s a vulnerable and life-changing process—but one that brings true healing and transformation.

A New Heart – The Desire
In this message, we explore the deep need for a new heart from God—a heart that desires Him above all else. Many want to follow God but still cling to the world. True transformation begins with surrender and a cry for renewal.

Introduction

Guard the unity of the Body of Christ with your life. Unity is sacred and must be protected from division.

Main Scripture

Ephesians 4:1–6 – Unity in the Body

Point 1: We must live worthily!

Point 2: Brothers and sisters in Christ must be a priority!

Point 3: Make every effort to be united!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.

In this message, we explore the importance of valuing the differences in others to build a strong, unified church that glorifies God.

Key Scripture

Sermon Outline

Introduction

We are talking about unity! Last week we talked about how important it was to work together. God has designed Christianity to be done with others and never intended it to be done alone. It is meant to be done together as a family, as a church, as a community, and as a nation of people who believe in Jesus!

The absence of disagreements is not a testimony to the world—the testimony is the manner in which we deal with disagreements. Therefore, we need to maturely disagree!

Introduction

God is good and perfect! Yet He loves to do new things—forging new paths, creating new works, and making us new creations for His glory. In this final message of the “New Things” series, we explore the grand finale: God will make all things new.

Scripture

Revelation 21:1–7 – The New Jerusalem

Jesus understands our weaknesses and lived in this broken world.

In Week 4 of our “New Things” series, we explore how God does new works through unexpected people and methods. From Samson’s jawbone to a nameless usher at a revival—God’s power is what matters, not the tool.

Scripture Focus:

Judges 15:9–17 – “The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon Samson… he picked up the jawbone of a donkey and killed 1,000 Philistines.”
1 Corinthians 12:4–6 – “There are different kinds of spiritual gifts… but the same God who does the work in all of us.”
