Vaughn Park Church of Christ (Sermons)

It's time for choice foods and sweet drinks! As we conclude our study of Nehemiah, Tim encourages us to celebrate for the joy of the Lord is our strength. 

When the builders are making progress, you can count on Satan to attack with discouragement and division. In today's lesson, Tim examines five ways Satan tried to undermine the people in Nehemiah's day — the same tricks he uses to attack the Church today. 

When do you give thanks? At suppertime? The fourth Thursday of November? How about when you are ridiculed, threatened, giving credit, and expecting God to work? Today's lesson focuses on giving thanks and on answering the trumpet call to help in building for God.

We're building! So, we're not just calling for masons, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. We're looking for chefs, cosmetologists, insurance salespeople and nurses. In today's lesson, Tim uses Nehemiah 3 to illustrate the importance of every Christian in building for the Kingdom as Vaughn Park Church seeks 100 missionaries for the River Region. 

How big are your dreams? Have you prayed about those dreams and let God help you make a plan? In today's lesson, Tim takes us to Nehemiah 2 where we get a picture of courage, boldness and faith in pursuing a dream. 

As we continue our study of Nehemiah, Tim explores the cupbearer's prayer in chapter 1 where we see the focus on God's character, my sin, God's promises; and my request. 

How do you begin creating positive change in others' lives? Ask and Care! As we begin a new series on Nehemiah, Tim challenges us to follow the great builder's example by asking our neighbors how they're doing, listening to their answer and caring enough to help. 

As Vaughn Park Church prepares for Agape Giving Sunday Sept. 10, Tim sits down with Erich and Allena Burbage to talk about their journey as foster parents as well as Agape Executive Director Steve Duer to hear about the needs and victories in serving vulnerable mothers and children. 

When God asks "Whom shall I send?" are you prepared to respond "Here I am. Send me!" If not, Tim's lesson may help as we see God, ourselves and the harvest more clearly. 

What do you say to someone who needs Jesus in their life? How about start with what Jesus has done in YOUR life? In today's lesson, Tim helps us overcome the fear of speaking about Him by reminding us we already know everything we need to share.
