Why Church? Serving Jul 20, 2025

This week in our “Why Church?” series, we focus on the call to serve. Serving others is not just a good idea—it’s a Christ-centered command. Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve. And He calls us to do the same. Church is where we learn, practice, and grow in this calling.

Key Scriptures:

Mark 9:34–35
John 13:12–17
Galatians 5:13
1 Peter 4:8–10
Mark 10:45
Philippians 2:5–8

Main Points (verbatim):

Our sinful nature wants to be served!
The New Testament constantly challenges all believers to serve!
Jesus set the example by serving us first!

Reflection: Are you living like Jesus? Are you serving others with the gifts God has given you? Church is the best place to start. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into a life of joyful service.

Why Church? Fellowship Jul 13, 2025

This week, we continue our “Why Church?” series by focusing on the power and purpose of fellowship. From the early church in Acts to the Spirit-filled community we’re called to today, God has always intended for His people to walk together. Fellowship isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

Key Scriptures:

Acts 2:42–47
1 John 1:6–7
Deuteronomy 7:6–7
Matthew 18:20
2 Corinthians 13:14
1 Corinthians 15:33

Main Points (as delivered):

God has always intended to bring his people together!
God wants fellowship with you!
God never intended for us to make this journey alone!
You will find fellowship somewhere!

Reflection:
Do you really trust Jesus with your relationships? Are you willing to surrender your social circles to follow Him more closely? Let this message challenge and encourage you to commit to true, Christ-centered fellowship.

Why Church?: Worship Jul 06, 2025

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

Series: Why Church? | Week 1

Introduction:

Many people question the importance of church.
This series explores why church matters—starting with worship.
Today’s focus: Worship as preparation for eternity.

Scripture References:

John 16:5–9 – Jesus promises the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:1–4, 41 – The Holy Spirit comes and the Church is born.
John 18:20 – Jesus worshiped publicly.
Matthew 5:31–32 – Jesus came for the spiritually sick.
Revelation 5:11–14; 7:11 – Heaven is filled with corporate worship.

Main Points:

You Can Never Replace Personal Worship
- Personal worship is vital and affects corporate worship.
- You can feel close to God in nature, but that doesn’t replace gathering with others.
Jesus Led by Example
- Jesus regularly worshiped in synagogues and the temple.
- He never asked us to do anything He didn’t do Himself.
You Can’t Replace Corporate Worship
- Church is God’s design for believers to grow, serve, and worship together.
- It’s not about perfection—it’s about surrender and transformation.
- Church prepares us for eternity.
Heaven Is Described with Corporate Worship
- Revelation shows heaven as a place of unified, eternal worship.
- If we desire heaven, we should desire worship with others now.

Closing:

Worship in church is a glimpse of what’s to come.

Church is preparation for eternity.
If church feels unappealing, it may reflect a heart issue.
Pray for surrender—yours and others’.

Prodigal Son: Be Humble and Rejoice Jun 29, 2025

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

Introduction:

Final week of the Prodigal Son series.
Focus: The older brother’s reaction and the importance of humility and joy.
The Father celebrates the return of the lost son, but the older brother refuses to join.

Scripture:
Luke 15:11–32

Main Points:

The Unfaithful Son Was Celebrated
- The younger son sinned, squandered his inheritance, and returned in brokenness.
- The Father (God) forgave and celebrated him—not because he deserved it, but because He could.
- Forgiveness and restoration are God’s to give, not ours to withhold.
- We must not let our sense of justice override God’s mercy.
The Faithful Son Was Uncelebrated
- The older brother kept score and felt overlooked.
- Faithfulness doesn’t always come with immediate recognition or reward.
- Our reward is eternal, not earthly.
- True humility accepts God’s mercy for others, even when we don’t understand it.
Celebrate with Joy
- The older brother obeyed out of obligation, not joy.
- When our hearts align with God’s, we celebrate what He celebrates.
- Spirit-filled living leads to joyful obedience, not resentment.
- A true child of God rejoices when the lost are found.

Closing:

Be humble. Rejoice when others return to the Father—because that is His will.
Luke 15:31 – “Everything I have is yours.”
God sees your faithfulness and will reward you in His time.

Prodigal Son: A Win is a Win Jun 22, 2025

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

Introduction:

Week 2 of the Prodigal Son series.
Last week: God desires our return.
This week: Even if the return isn’t perfect, a win is still a win.

Scripture:
Luke 15:11–32

Main Points:

Things Get Worse Before They Get Better
- The younger son dishonors his father, leaves home, and lives in sin.
- Sin leads to destruction and despair (Proverbs 14:12).
- God allows us to experience the consequences of our choices to bring us back.
People Are Naturally Selfish—Even With God
- The son returns not out of love, but out of desperation.
- Many of us come to God for selfish reasons—but that’s okay.
- Over time, love and relationship grow from that decision.
- A win is a win—even if it starts messy.
The Father Doesn’t Care—He Just Wants You Home
- The father runs to the son before he says a word.
- God celebrates our return, no matter how broken or selfish it may seem.
- Confession is still important (1 John 1:9)—saying it out loud brings healing and clarity.

Closing:

Pray for the win!
Zephaniah 3:17–20: God rejoices over us and restores us.
Jesus has already won—we share in His victory.
It may not look perfect, but if someone returns to God, it’s a win.

Prodigal Son: Returning Jun 15, 2025

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

Sermon Title: Prodigal Son – Returning
Series: The Prodigal Son | Week 1
Occasion: Father’s Day

Introduction:

Launching a new series on the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32).
The word “prodigal” originally meant “one who returns.”
The father in the parable shows great faith by letting his son go, hoping he would return.

Scripture:
Luke 15:11–32

Main Points:

Sin Brings Poor Decisions and Difficult Circumstances
- The younger son’s request was selfish and dishonorable.
- He squandered his inheritance in wild living and ended up in desperation.
- Galatians 6:7–8 – We reap what we sow.
- Sin affects not only the sinner but also those around them.
God Will Turn You Loose
- The father (representing God) allows the son to leave and make his own choices.
- God doesn’t force anyone to stay—He honors our free will.
- Isaiah 53:6 – We all, like sheep, have gone astray.
- Sometimes people must be allowed to feel the weight of life without God.
God Will Let You Taste What You Ask For
- The son had to experience the full consequences of his choices before he could return.
- God allows us to feel the emptiness of sin so we’ll long for His presence.
- Heaven is not for those who reject God—it’s for those who return to Him.

Closing:

If God can’t bring them back, what makes you think you can?

God wants us to come back.
The story of the Prodigal Son is the story of all humanity—starting in Genesis 3.
Don’t be afraid to let go of someone you love. Trust that God is able to bring them back.

Dealing With Conflict: God Can Use Evil for Good May 25, 2025

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

Introduction:

Final week of the “Dealing With Conflict” series.
Recap: Conflict is unavoidable, should be private (within reason), and we must remain faithful through it.
Today’s focus: God can use even evil or painful situations for good.

Scripture:

Acts 15:36–41 (Paul and Barnabas’ sharp disagreement)

Main Points:

God Can Use Discouragement to Bring About Passion
- Paul and Barnabas’ split led to the Gospel spreading in two directions.
- Personal testimony: God uses transitions and separations to expand His Kingdom.
- Psalm 119:71 – Suffering teaches us to pay attention to God’s ways.
- Discouragement can fuel a deeper passion for doing what’s right.
God Can Use Division to Bring About Unity
- Though divided over John Mark, Paul and Barnabas remained united in Christ.
- Hebrews 12:14–15 – Work for peace and guard against bitterness.
- Healthy conflict, when handled biblically, can strengthen relationships and unity.
God Can Use Failure to Bring About Restoration
- John Mark failed early but was later restored and became valuable to Paul.
- 2 Timothy 4:9–11 & Colossians 4:10 – Paul requests Mark’s presence and affirms his ministry.
- Never write someone off—God can redeem and restore anyone.

Closing:

God can use anything—good or bad—for His glory and your growth.
There was no clear “winner” in the conflict between Paul and Barnabas—both had valid perspectives.
Let Jesus define you, not your conflict.
