Vaughn Park Church Of Christ (sermons)

As we near the end of the Our Foundation series, Tim discusses the mission of the church and how Vaughn Park's ministries are reaching out to share the gospel. 

How is our vision? Do we see others with the eyes of Jesus, or is our sight impaired by preconceptions and assumptions? In today's lesson, Baron takes us to Mark 5:21-34 to help us see others and ourselves as God does. 

How do we defeat sin in our lives? In today's lesson, Tim encourages us to balance personal responsibility with dependence on God as we use the tools of the Bible, Holy Spirit and Circumstances to change. 

Living a Zoe life involves loving God passionately and loving people tangibly. As we continue the Our Foundation series, Tim provides an opportunity for us to embrace God's vision for Vaughn Park by getting involved in worship, service and outreach. 

Have you been back to the water? In today's lesson, Tim encourages us to remember our baptism as we confront the lies we hear from Satan and our human nature. 

Over the centuries, many have tried to disprove Christ's resurrection with other explanations for the empty tomb. As Tim concludes three lessons on Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, he exposes the fallacy of these arguments. 

He is Risen, indeed! On this Easter Sunday, Tim asks us to join him on a journey to the tomb as we explore reasons to believe in the resurrection of Jesus and why that single event is the key to not only eternal life but also full, abundant, overflowing life (Zoe!). 

What's the most important event in history? The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus — or as Tim says, the DBR. As we unpack the Gospel over three weeks, Tim begins with a lesson on reasons we can have confidence that Jesus not only lived, but died. 

What do people see in you? In the church? In today's lesson, Cowboy Tim illustrates how outward appearances can lead others to make a judgement about inward qualities. As we strive to look more like Jesus, Paul's first letter to the church at Corinth challenges us to meet others where they are, so we may win some to Christ. 

Do you see Jesus? Do you recognize His house? Have you found the Gateway? In the first of two lessons on Jesus in Our Foundation series, Tim turns to the story of Jacob's ladder in Genesis to help make sure we Don't Miss Him. 

As we continue the Our Foundation series, Tim encourages us to dive into scripture. HIs favorite tool: SOAP, or Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. 

Are you reading the Book? In today's lesson, Tim encourages us to develop a deeper desire for God's Word. 

What is God's greatest miracle? Creation? Parting the Red Sea? Healing? Resurrection? In today's lesson, Tim challenges us to consider the impact of God's peace, strength and forgiveness in our lives. 

What is your picture of God? Is it the same as God's picture of God? As we begin the Our Foundation series, Tim turns to scripture for a clearer view of who God says He is. 

As Vaughn Park Church strives to be led by the Spirit, all to the glory of God, Tim reviews the qualities and responsibilities of shepherds.

As Tim concludes our series on stewardship, he turns to Luke 6 and Malachi 3 to consider the blessings of a giving heart. 

If Jesus said "there's one thing you lack," what would that one thing be? In today's lesson, Tim uses the account of the rick young ruler to help us contemplate the thing or things we need to surrender to the Lord. 

When we understand God has given us everything we need to do to achieve His purposes, we begin to appreciate the blessing of sharing our time, talents and resources. In today's lesson, Tim takes us to 1 Chronicles 29:10-17 as we continue our study of stewardship. 

Our attitude toward time, abilities and resources says a lot about stewardship and what is Lord of our lives. In today's lesson, Tim helps us see the story of the Good Samaritan through a different lens, as he challenges us to do something for others. 

We want instant gratification, but God calls us to obedience and perseverance. His plan is superior to ours because his purpose is greater than ours. In today's lesson, Donovan takes us to the story of Joshua at Jericho as he challenges us to seek God's mission for our lives in 2024.
