Vaughn Park Church of Christ (Sermons)

If Jesus Christ could unite Matthew, a tax collector, and Simon the Zealot in His redemptive mission, the Holy Spirit can break down the barriers that separate us. In today’s lesson, Craig turns to Acts 2 where we see what God can accomplish when we are together in Him.

In Acts 1, Jesus defines a job to do. It’s God’s work. It’s our work. As we begin our “Making Disciples” study of Acts, Will challenges us to be witnesses for Jesus Christ.

What’s the Point? Why do we gather on Sundays? Why do we anchor our identity in Christ? In today’s sermon, Craig turns to 1 Corinthians 15 for the answer:  Jesus Resurrected. By conquering death, He has given us hope not only for victory over the grave, but also over the challenges of this present life.

The kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13 is daunting. Thankfully, as Will teaches, we have an example of a love like that in Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to help us grow in love.

You are indispensable in what you offer the Kingdom of God! This is the message of 1 Corinthians 12 shared by Jeremy Kughn of Gateway Church of Christ in Pensacola as he challenged us to recognize our spiritual gifts and utilize them to strengthen the Body.

How might it change our perspective if, during Communion, we envisioned the body and blood of Jesus permeating every part of us — creating an indivisible link with our brothers and sisters in Christ? In today’s sermon, Will uses 1 Corinthians 11 to challenge us to discern not only the physical body of Christ but also the spiritual body of His Church.

What if we put as much effort into spiritual strength as physical fitness? In today’s sermon, Craig begins in 1 Corinthians 10 as we learn from the Israelites to be on guard against idolatry, disobedience and grumbling. We also are reminded of God’s provision when we are tempted.

What are you thankful for, and how does it impact your worship? Corey Trevathan turns to the first chapter of Ephesians to remind us of our blessings in Christ as we are prompted to translate gratitude into worship.
