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...

Possession: Satan’s Goals 2

Mark 5:1-20 Matthew 12:43-45 Acts 19:13-16Points:
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, incl...Mark 7b (10-29-25)
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.

Possession: Unexpected Possessions
Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.
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 finish up chapter 5 and see two amazing miracles that Jesus performs as a response to two very different types of faith.
Possession: Created to be Possessed
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.

A Spirit of Thankfulness – Part 2: Thankfulness is an Attitude
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.

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.

A New Heart – Part 2: The Transplant
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.

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!
