Vaughn Park Church of Christ (Sermons)

As Vaughn Park joins the nation in celebrating Mother's Day, Tim turns to 1 Samuel for lessons from the life of Hannah. 

Disciple or Jewish leader? Courageous or afraid? Rich or generous? In today's lesson, Tim asks us to consider the diverse descriptions of a central figure in Jesus' burial. In doing so, we are reminded of our own dual nature and how God can use us despite our failings. 

Have you experienced the power of the resurrection? Do you know Jesus' power to cancel your past, conquer your problems, and change your future? As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, Tim reminds us we don't have to stay in the tomb. 

No! This may be our least favorite two-letter word — especially when it's God's answer to our prayers. In today's lesson, Tim turns to familiar stories in the Old and New Testaments to provide insight into why God sometimes says "no" or "not right now."

You know who never tires of hearing your voice? God! In today's lesson, Tim turns to Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow to remind us our Father in heaven wants to hear our pleas. 

What's on your to-do list? In Luke Chapter 10, we are invited into the home of Martha and Mary where Jesus shares a lesson about priorities and distractions. Are we ready to set aside our list and focus on the ONE thing?

As Vaughn Park Church adds three new shepherds, Tim challenges the congregation to examine our mission to Live, Serve and Speak as we abide in Christ and are led by the Spirit. 

We retrace our steps to Luke 21, where Tim shares two lessons. The first is the widow's simple example of total trust and heartfelt giving. The second is a reminder of how challenges can present opportunities for us to bear witness to God's goodness. 

As Vaughn Park Church considers adding three additional shepherds, Tim's lesson focuses on the descriptions of elders in scripture and how we all should exhibit caring for our church family. 

Have you experienced the full, abundant life Jesus offers, or are you still in the tomb? Today's lesson uses the Emmaus walk of Luke 24 to challenge us to open our hearts, minds and eyes to the promise of new life.
