Summary
Healed By Your Affliction begins with Pentecost and develops the importance of believers being gathered together. Ecclesiastes 4 supplies the early principle—“two are better than one”—while 1 Corinthians 12 supplies the sermon's extended body metaphor: individual believers need the other members rather than functioning independently. 1st Sermon of THE FEAST OF FIRS… 1st Sermon of THE FEAST OF FIRS… Vaughn then connects this corporate-body teaching to Feast observance through Exodus 23, Deuteronomy 16, and Hebrews 10. He argues that the Feast gatherings reunite and strengthen the body and interprets them as required assemblies at a divinely chosen location. 1st Sermon of THE FEAST OF FIRS… 1st Sermon of THE FEAST OF FIRS… The sermon reaches its central conclusion in Hebrews 11. Moses chooses to relinquish his privileged identity as Pharaoh's daughter's son and instead share the affliction of God's people. Vaughn applies that choice to his congregation's experience of religious and familial rejection, teaching that their shared “affliction” connects them to a community in which they can strengthen and, in his terminology, “heal” one another.
Core doctrine
Hebrews 11:23 - 28 - Vaughn teaches that Moses' faith was demonstrated when he refused the identity and privilege of Pharaoh's house and chose instead to suffer affliction with God's people; he applies Moses' choice to believers who accept rejection in order to identify with what he calls the true body of Israel, teaching that this shared affliction brings them into a connected body where they can strengthen, correct, support, and "heal" one another. This application of Moses' affliction to modern religious separation and corporate "healing" is the speaker's theological interpretation of Hebrews 11.
