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?

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?

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?

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?

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!

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 and can speak life or death, healing or destruction. The Word, Jesus Christ, is the most important thing that should come from our mouths, because words identify who we belong to. Today we are talking about how words can be sinful. The mouth created to glorify God is usually the first thing that sins against Him. As we read in James 3, the tongue is a whole world of evil set on fire by hell itself. The words that come from our mouth can easily be sinful. Our desire as Christians should be, Lord, if there is sin falling from my lips, reveal it to me and help me to turn from it! Scripture * Colossians 3:8-10 * 1 John 5:16-17 * Romans 6:6-7 * Ephesians 5:4 * Romans 14:10-13 * Proverbs 20:20 * Leviticus 20:9 * Matthew 5:22 * Psalm 19:12 Sermon Points * You are called to get rid of the old! * There is a sinful language! * Your new nature comes with a new language! Closing How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Don’t just rely on what the pastor preached. Open yourself up to the Lord and be willing to say, “God, I don’t truly know you. I don’t know all the things that I do that displeases you. But reveal it to me so that I can confess it to you and change with the help of your Holy Spirit! Help me to surrender everything, even my words to you!” If you truly believe that Jesus died to save you and free you from your sins, why would we ever think that we could go on sinning? Don’t let your words be the thing that condemns you before the Father!

They can speak life or death, healing or destruction, and The Word (Jesus Christ) is the most important thing that should come from our mouths. Today we are talking about how the words that come from our mouth are our identity. Nothing brings to reality more than the words we speak, and nothing identifies you more than the words that come from your mouth. Scripture * Matthew 12:33-37 * Psalm 19:12-14 * Psalm 141:2-3 * Colossians 4:5-6 * 1 Timothy 4:12 * James 1:19 Sermon Points * What we say comes from our hearts! * What comes from the heart identifies us! * Our words will acquit us or condemn us! Closing I don’t know about you, but I have done enough in my life to be judged for. I don’t need anything else. I would dare to say that every one of us would like for the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts, to be pleasing to God!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Please Subscribe to our Youtube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@GrahamChapel Introduction As we talk about words, we need to understand the importance of not just words, but The Word. Jesus is referred to as the Word many different times throughout scripture. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are called to proclaim The Word. The most important words that should come from your mouth are words about The Word. Every word that you choose to use or that idly falls from your lips will either help you proclaim The Word or hinder you from proclaiming The Word. Scripture * 1 John 1:1-4 * John 1:14 * John 20:28-29 * John 14:6-7 * Psalm 16:11 * Revelation 19:13 Sermon Points * We can’t proclaim what we have not heard or seen! * The Word is life! * Proclamation of The Word is for fellowship! Closing Use your mouth. Use words! Stop talking about everything else but God and talk about The Word of God. He is the best thing that can come out of our mouths.
