Vaughn Park Church of Christ (Sermons)

The Tower of Babel teaches us pride always leads to problems. Brad warns us against chasing after the wind because we don't know the future. Rather, we should remember God is the one in control. Imagine, what would happen if we quit chasing the wind and put all that energy into doing good?

At Thanksgiving and every day, God is worthy of praise. Brad reminds us that everything we have comes from the Father as noted in 1 Cor. 4:7, "For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?"

As we prepare for Thanksgiving, Brad uses Psalm 136 to remind us of God's enduring love and seven Ps for which to give thanks: pardon, purpose, precepts, providence, provision, presence and peace.

Psalm 73 shows how easy it can be to lose our foothold and fall into the pit of envy. Brad's sermon encourages us to reject Satan's lies by remembering God is Good; Temptation looks good but doesn't last; while Heaven lasts forever. 

Brad reminds us of the significance of communion as a table of remembrance, celebration and worship.

Running the Race in Christ requires dedication, discipline, direction and denial. 

We find conviction and encouragement in the story of Nathan's confrontation of David as Brad reminds us of the consequence of sin, but also God's amazing grace.

Romans 12:1 calls us to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. Craig's message challenges us to view worship, not as just an hour on Sunday, but as conistently living each day for Him.

A deeper look at the familiar story of the Good Samaritan reminds us true compassion isn't driven by the worth of the person we're helping but costs something, demands action and requires involvement.
