Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction We live in a world that is ever changing, filled with uncertainties—unpredictable economies, chaotic politics, and shifting circumstances. Yet one thing we can lean on is God’s Word. It is always stable, always consistent, always right, and never changes. Despite the changing world around us, it is always relevant and true. This week we explore how God’s Word serves as an anchor and a guide for our lives. Scripture Psalm 119:89-120 Isaiah 40:7-8 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Isaiah 55:10-11 1 Kings 8:56 Ephesians 4:14-15 John 17:17 Luke 1:37 Sermon Points God’s Word Never Changes! God’s Word Never Returns Void! God’s Word leads us in truth! Closing In an ever changing world, we have nothing to fear! God has given us everything in His Word, and He has given us His Spirit to move forward in this fuzzy world. “For the word of God will never fail.” (Luke 1:37) “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path!” (Psalm 119:105) Watch past services: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/teaching/Subscribe to Graham Chapel Youth: https://is.gd/grahamyouthGive to Graham Chapel: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/give/ Graham Chapel Wesleyan Church is in Mayo, SC near Cowpens and Chesnee in Spartanburg County.

God’s personal plan is for us to be a temple for His Spirit. While being filled with the Holy Spirit is an incredible personal experience, we don’t house the Spirit just for ourselves. We are Communal Temples—meant to experience the Holy Spirit not just alone, but with many different people, so that many may be brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Scripture 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 John 16:7-9 Galatians 5:22-23 John 16:7-11 John 14:25-26 Acts 4:31 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Ephesians 5:18-21 Acts 16:6-10 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Ephesians 2:19-22 Acts 2:42-47 Romans 8:15-17 Sermon Points The Holy Spirit is a very personal thing. The Holy Spirit is also a very communal thing! E Pluribus Unum! Closing It has always been God’s plan to bring us together. Every reference to worship in heaven is communal—a vast multitude, thousands upon thousands, all creation worshiping God. If we expect to dwell in heaven with all of God’s creation worshiping Him, the Holy Spirit must join us together with His followers here. We were always meant to be together!

Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Temples – 2 – Purification of the Temple Introduction: This month we are talking about how we are temples of the Holy Spirit. God’s personal plan for you is to be a temple for His Spirit, but we must be purified and set apart for that to happen. Just as the tabernacle and the temple and everything within them had to be purified and consecrated so that the Spirit of God could dwell within them, we are no different. Scripture: • 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 • Leviticus 26:12 • Ezekiel 37:27 • Isaiah 52:11 • Ezekiel 20:34 • 2 Samuel 7:14 • Hebrews 12:1 • Exodus 40:9-16 • Leviticus 16:15-16 • Hebrews 9:13-14 • Mark 11:15-17 • John 14:15-17 Sermon Points: 1. Things have to be removed for God’s presence. 2. The Tabernacle had to be consecrated! 3. The Temple had to be purified and cleansed! 4. Our bodies and souls need to be sanctified! Closing: Will you surrender and invite the Holy Spirit in? Will you take your life, your heart, your body, your mind, and your soul and willingly give it to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to come in and take over and clean up his temple, his tabernacle, his house? Some of us just need to surrender. The Holy Spirit has lived with us, but we need him to be in us. Will you let him in?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction This month we are talking about how we are temples of the Holy Spirit. It is a humbling realization that God’s desire and plan for every human being is to dwell within all people who choose to follow Him and surrender to His will. What does God want with me? He wants to dwell within me — and if that happens, everything else within His desire is possible! Scripture – 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 – Leviticus 26:9-13 – John 1:14 – Romans 8:9-11 – John 3:5-6 Sermon Points 1. God wanted to dwell exteriorly among people! 2. God wanted to dwell among us! 3. God wants to dwell in us! Closing God created you to be the temple of His Holy Spirit. All of creation was leading up to the coming of Christ (God with us), and then the coming of the Holy Spirit — God in us! You weren’t just created to get saved and go to heaven. You were created to be a dwelling place of God. We are temples of the Holy Spirit! Are you fulfilling what you were created for?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction In this message, we conclude our series on the Shepherd and His Sheep, focusing on how our Shepherd wants to guide us. God renews our strength and guides us along paths of righteousness to bring honor to His name. When we choose to follow Him, He safely leads us through every season, protecting our steps and directing our path. Scripture Psalm 23:1-6 Matthew 9:35-36 Psalm 78:52-55 Isaiah 40:11 Hebrews 12:10-11 Proverbs 3:11-12 Proverbs 3:5-6 Mark 6:34 Sermon Points God wants to guide you! God’s guidance fits the season! The guidance is easier when we are willing! ClosingJesus sees us, has compassion on us, and desires to lead us so we are never left wandering like sheep without a shepherd. He wants to feed you, give you water, protect you, and guide you. Will you let Him be your shepherd? It’s your choice!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction In this message, we continue our series on the Shepherd and His Sheep, focusing on protection. It is Jesus’ job to protect us—He wants to protect us—but we must choose whether or not we will allow Him to. When we live in the will of God and submit to His law, we have the protection of His will and the authority of His justice watching over us. Scripture • Psalm 23:1-6 • Ezekiel 34:11-16 • John 10:6-16 • Ephesians 3:20 • Proverbs 20:22 • Nahum 1:2 • Romans 12:19-21 • Deuteronomy 32:35 • Micah 5:4 Sermon Points 1. God wants to be your protector, your rescuer, and your redeemer! 2. We must trust him to protect us! 3. We must do our job and allow God to do his job! Closing He is the good shepherd and His concern is for His sheep—for you and me. His greatest desire is to bring us into His flock and provide us with food, water, and a protection like no other. He is in control and His will will be done. Do you believe and trust in that for your protection?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel IntroductionIn this message, we continue our series on Jesus as our Shepherd and us as His sheep. Last week we looked at how the Shepherd desires to feed us; this week we focus on how He desires to water us. Water is even more essential than food, and Jesus, our Good Shepherd, leads us beside peaceful streams and offers living water that truly satisfies. Scripture Psalm 23:1-6 John 7:37-39 Revelation 7:15-17 John 4:10-16 Isaiah 55:1 Sermon Points We are all Thirsty! We cannot satisfy our own thirst! We must go to him for drink! ClosingIt’s all free and it doesn’t cost a thing. God knows how thirsty you are and He has the amazing ability to give you springs of life within your heart to quench your thirst. He has a feast for you in the presence of your enemies and wants to lead you to a place, spiritually speaking, flowing with milk and honey. Do you trust Him enough to come to Him and surrender?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction In this new series, we explore what it truly means to follow Christ through the analogy of the Shepherd and His sheep. Just as sheep depend completely on their shepherd for food, water, protection, and guidance, we are called to trust and rely fully on Jesus. Today’s focus is on being fed by our Shepherd. Scripture – Matthew 2:6 – Micah 5:2 – 2 Samuel 5:2 – Psalm 23:1-6 – John 6:32-35 – Matthew 4:4 – 1 Peter 2:2-3 – Hebrews 5:12-14 – Jeremiah 15:16 – Isaiah 40:10-11 Sermon Points – We all have a food that we want! – God has a food for us! – We need to be fed by God! Closing God wants to feed you. He wants to carry you. He wants to welcome you in. Will you submit to His authority as Shepherd?

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction Words are powerful. Our words can speak life or death, healing or destruction. And The Word (Jesus Christ) is the most important thing that should be coming from our mouth. Words identify who we belong to! Words can be sinful! And our words can help lead us into holiness! Scripture * Leviticus 19:2 * Psalm 34:11-14 * Proverbs 21:23 * Luke 2:47 * Ephesians 4:29-32 * 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 * Philippians 4:8 Sermon Points * God wants to teach you how to speak! * God wants you to speak like Him! * God wants to bring you out of this world and into his! Closing What comes out of our mouths comes from the treasury of our hearts! You can’t fake it. You might suppress it for a time but eventually the heart will produce its fruit! This is why we need God to change us, to give us new hearts, to give us new words! You want your words to be changed. Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Allow God to change your heart. Change what goes into it, and you will change what goes out!
