Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Mother’s Day: Listen Introduction As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we recognize this day can be difficult for those who have lost their mothers or did not have a great motherly experience. We are here to celebrate what God intended for a mother to be. If you feel cheated in that area, commit yourself to ensuring your children are not cheated out of that special gift. Today’s message is for the kids—whether you are 5 or 65—focusing on a passage of scripture that, if committed to, would be the greatest possible gift you could give your mother. Scripture * Ephesians 6:1-3 * Psalm 139:13 * Proverbs 1:8-9 Sermon Points * This is God’s command! * Never forget what she has sacrificed! * Mama wants you to be rewarded! Closing The greatest gift you could ever give your mother is peace of mind. Clean it up, cut it out, and do what is right. Obey and honor her because she simply wants what is best for you. She is not nagging you; she gave up her life so you could exist. Give her the gift of not having to worry about you by being right with the Lord, having a good head on your shoulders, and choosing to do the right thing.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Dying to Live: Dying to Self Introduction More than sin and more than the world, you will be your own greatest obstacle to growing in your relationship with Christ. The desire to survive and self-preserve is a powerful force, and the thought of dying goes against every instinct within us. Yet, as believers, we are very much called to die. Scripture * Luke 9:23-26 * Luke 14:25-27 * John 8:12 * Hebrews 2:1 * John 3:3 * 1 Peter 1:23-25 * Galatians 6:8-9 * John 12:23-27 Sermon Points * Who do I follow? * Will I take up my cross daily? * What will I benefit! Closing The very reason Jesus came was to die. The very reason you were saved is so that you could die to sin, die to the world, and die to yourself. You cannot produce a harvest unless the kernel falls into the soil and dies. Saved people are changed people. Do not lie to yourself. Die to yourself.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Introduction Last week we began our series on the need to die in order to live, talking about dying to sin. Saved people are changed people. Once you die to sin, the second death we must focus on is dying to the world. The world is not inherently bad, but we must learn how to die to it in order to fully follow Christ. Scripture – John 17:13-18 – John 15:18-21 – 1 John 2:15-17 – Romans 12:1-2 – Colossians 3:5-10 Sermon Points – The world will hate you! – We do not belong to this world! – We are to be made holy! Closing The reason we need to die to the world is because if we do not, eventually we will begin to worship it. We must commit ourselves to dying over and over again, because the longer we live in this world, the more of the world we will be exposed to and have to die to. We are preparing ourselves to leave this world and to spend eternity with Christ.

SERMON TITLE Dying to Live: Dying to Sin INTRODUCTION Life is precious, but we often only appreciate it through death. Jesus calls us to die to ourselves so we can truly live. This week, we explore the first phase of this journey: dying to sin and finding freedom through Christ. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES – Romans 6:6-18 – Galatians 2:20 – Galatians 5:24-25 – Romans 8:12-14 – 1 Peter 1:17-19 SERMON POINTS 1. All Christians have died with Christ! 2. Death to sin is the primary death! 3. Dying to sin makes us the most like Christ! CLOSING God calls every Christian to a life of holiness, freed from the power of sin. Jesus paid the ultimate price to ransom us from an empty life. By dying to our sinful nature, we embrace the true life He has prepared for us.

This message concludes our Holy Week series by focusing on the most important event in human history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While Jesus fulfilled prophecies and died as a perfect sacrifice, his victory over death is what proves his ultimate authority and offers us the promise of eternal life. Scripture References * Luke 24:1-12 * Matthew 7:7-8 * Revelation 3:14 * Colossians 2:14-15 * John 16:8-10 Sermon Points 1. If you seek him, you will find him! 2. The living is not among the dead! 3. Everything Jesus said, will come to pass! 4. It sounds like nonsense! Closing Jesus has done everything necessary for you to have eternal life by canceling the record of charges against us at the cross. He has already paid the price for your sins. The message of the Gospel may sound like nonsense to the world, but it is the clearest truth to those who believe. The only thing that can separate you from God is the refusal to believe in his Son.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Sermon Title Making a Holy Week: God in Flesh Introduction This 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. Scripture – John 1:10-18 – Philippians 2:6-8 – 1 Timothy 3:16 – Colossians 2:8-10 – Colossians 1:15-20 – Matthew 19:25-26 Sermon Points – Flesh and Blood! – Spirit Filled! – A Miraculous Union! – The Visible God! Closing While holiness and perfection may seem impossible by human standards, Jesus reminds us that with God, all things are possible. Through faith and surrender, we can experience the cleansing and purifying work of God in our lives, joining Him in the holiness He made possible during that first Holy Week.

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.

TITLE Marriage: Quality Time INTRODUCTION In this message from our Marriage series, we discuss the vital importance of quality time. Just as our relationship with God requires intentionality to flourish, your marriage needs purposeful time to prevent growing apart. We explore how to move beyond the daily routine to truly know and love your spouse through intentional connection. SCRIPTURE – Ecclesiastes 9:9 – Proverbs 31:10-12 – Colossians 3:19 – Proverbs 12:4 SERMON POINTS – Define quality time! – Speak their language and trade in their currency! – Pray together! CLOSING We always spend time on the things we prioritize. Make your marriage a priority, as it is your greatest covenant and testimony of God’s work in your life.

SERMON TITLE Marriage: 2 – Spouses First INTRODUCTION In this message, we discuss the importance of prioritizing your spouse and honoring the covenant made before God. When we choose to put our spouse first, we move away from selfishness and toward a marriage that reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church.

CLOSING God’s design for marriage often challenges our natural tendencies, but choosing to submit to Him and to one another leads to a more fulfilling relationship. By following the biblical blueprint for love and respect, we can build a marriage that thrives according to His purpose.

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. 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. 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? Closing Do 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.
