Vaughn Park Church of Christ (Sermons)

Are we still amazed by Jesus? Does His presence bring an awareness of our sin and His power? Does it give us a vision of something greater? Today's lesson from Luke 5:1-11 begs us to get out of the shallows and explore deeper waters. 

Satan can attack when we least expect it. In today's lesson, Tim uses the temptation of Jesus to highlight how Satan can challenge us after a spiritual victory; when we're alone; when we're physically drained; when we're waiting on God; when we're starting something great for God; and even when we are in church. 

Are you prepared? In today's lesson, Tim focuses on John the Baptist's call for repentance in Luke 3. In preparing the people to follow Jesus, the forerunner rebukes the crowd and encourages them to demonstrate the fruit of their faith with urgency and specificity. How about us? Are we prepared to go where Jesus leads?

Have you ever lost a child in a store? Have you ever lost Jesus? Today's lesson from Luke 2 focuses on a time when Mary and Joseph "misplaced" and misunderstood Jesus. 

What are you praying? What are you hearing? What are you speaking? As we dive into the Gospel of Luke, Tim uses Zechariah's reaction to the angel's message as an invitation for us to examine our expectation for answered prayers.  

Tim invites you to join Jesus on a journey through Luke. This introduction to the 24-week series is a challenge to dive in and discover what the Holy Spirit will reveal through Luke's purposeful and orderly account of Jesus' life and ministry.

On this Agape Sunday, Steve Duer and Baron Goins talk about foster care, adoption and respite care with the Burbage and Scott families. 

As Vaughn Park begins the process of replanting small groups, John Mark turns to Ephesians 6 for a lesson on spiritual warfare and how our defensive armor is designed to to be used in combination with that of our Christian brothers and sisters. 

What causes quarrels?  If we're honest, we'd probably say "the other guy." In today's lesson, James (and Tim) teach us it's really our pride and selfish desires. 

Are you wise? James says true wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. In contrast, he says bitter jealousy and selfish ambition are earthly, unspiritual and demonic. In today's lesson, Tim provides practical ways to apply the wisdom discussed in James Chapter 3.
