Sermons - Vista Grande Baptist Church Colorado Springs

At VGBC, we believe very strongly that God has spoken and communicated to us in the Bible. Because of this conviction, our preaching is based on God’s Word. The responsibility of the preacher is to discover what the biblical text means and explain it in a way that the congregation will understand. We are committed to expository preaching, which simply means we want to expose the clear meaning of the text. We want you to be able to read along in your Bible and be able to verify that what is being taught from the pulpit is consistent with what the text says. We also believe that the goal of preaching is application and lives changed for God’s glory. We want you to be challenged and encouraged, and we hope

you are changed to be more like Christ as a result of hearing His Word.

Sermon Series by Dr. Chris Moore

In this sermon series, we are going through the parables of Jesus. Of all the words of Jesus that are recorded for us, 35% were spoken in parables. One reason Jesus used stories to communicate is because He was a master at communicating. He knew that we love stories. He had the ability to draw people into a story, and then drive home the point. As we look at the parables we will become better equipped for life in the Kingdom of God.

The Rich Man & Lazarus

By: Dr. Chris Moore
Series: Kingdom Stories
Luke 16:19-31

In this parable, we discover two themes. The first one involves a great reversal. Those who are rich toward themselves and not rich toward God will have nothing in the end but misery. This reversal sets the stage for the main point, which is the sufficiency of God’s Word. We discover why God’s Word is all we really need.
