Our newest grandson, Andrew, is featured below still in the womb at about 5 months since conception unless I am mistaken.  As you look at the pictures on this page I just want you to consider the wonder of it all and how God has given us real babies even in the womb.  This type of […]

April Hudson, member of Vision, will be married this Saturday to Stephen Baker.  They will be serving God together out of the Whitfield Baptist Church and through Macedonia World Baptist Missions as missionaries in Ireland.  I want to ask you to pray much for them.  April has worked with BCWE, Our Generation, and Vision Baptist […]

“In the United States unborn children are subjected to trauma through abortion that causes them excruciating pain, which would be illegal if inflicted on animals in commerce or research,” NRLC legislative director Douglas Johnson wrote to members of Congress.

I want to challenge you to really get serious about raising your children in the nuture and admonition of the Lord.  That means you must discipline and disciple your children in the right way to get them through what are known as the “tween years” 10-12 and also the “teen” years.  God has given us […]

The new message series is entitled Search and Rescue.  It is our intention to learn how to make the following statement a reality: NO MAN LEFT BEHIND. I thank you for having been with us this morning.  I believe that God blessed.  We had 77 for Sunday School and 90 for church and that on […]

Could we be these men? The points listed below were contained in the body of the reply from Pastor John Robinson and his deacon William Brewster to the Virginia Company to secure the patent necessary to settle their church congregation in the new world of America.  This was the heart and resolve of the pilgrims.  […]

The following is a must read.  Vision is unashamedly a “high commitment” church.  We are going to study the whole Bible.  Our goal is to prepare men and women that are totally committed disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Our goal is to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.  We […]

We had a wonderful time of fellowship and thanksgiving.  Ryan and Crissy Murphy  Steve and Shawna Wallace   Jacob Taube and Stephanie de los Reyes get our congratulations as they are now engaged to be married.  They are missionaries to China! Carolyn and Charles Gardner, my parents!  

A major warning signal has been fired again.  The family is in trouble in America.  Many children are and will be raised in single parent homes.  We must meet the needs of these families with God’s truth.  Children need the security of two parents that love them and not a couple of people who are […]

Well we just finished our thanksgiving service and I praise God for all that He has done in our church and in our lives.  I really wanted to just take this time to tell each of you that attend Vision how much I love you and how thankful I am to God for the privilege that […]

I want to remind you that it is Thanksgiving time at Vision!  This Tuesday night at 7 pm we will begin eating.  I am sure that all of the ladies are going to bring some very special food that they have prepared.  We will feast first on great Thanksgiving food but then we will really […]

We are excited to welcome Chris and Kathy Fies as our newest members.  They are extremely talented, dedicated, and hard working couple.  They immediately wanted to know what they could be doing to serve God in and through the church.  They are very welcome as we are looking for people who want much more out […]

We see nothing wrong with the traditional Christmas tree. However, some have taught that it’s wrong for anyone to have a Christmas tree in their home. But are their reasons valid? We don’t think so. Let’s look at the two most common objections people make against having a Christmas tree. First, some object on the […]

I received this in an email from one of the young men in the church. I think that it teaches good Biblical truth.  At the end of the article you can click on a link to take you to the original. Scripture doesn’t specifically command believers to celebrate Christmas—there are no prescribed “Holy Days” the […]

Don’t miss this article.  Click here to read more The banner just below is a link to the page where I get so much good information.  I think that he has some of the best material on the web.  He is a Nazarene but has a world evangelism heart like you would never believe.

As I read my Bible this morning I came across this verse.  It speaks so loudly to us as a church.  We are to praise the Lord and give thanks to Him. He is good to us. His mercy endures forever towards us also.  All the people shouted with a great shout.  I wonder how […]

God created the family in the very beginning.  The family unit is not a product of evolution nor is it a man made institution.  When God created the world He made man and woman and formed the first family.  The family unit is the most important basic social unit in the universe.  Satan has always […]

Below you will find the church covenant that many Baptist churches have used for centuries.  I have put in bold some things that I think should stand out extra large in our hearts and minds.  I think that together something like this should be on our hearts and in our minds and not just hanging on the back […]

 WET PANTS Come with me to a third grade classroom….. There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his      heart is going to stop because he cannot  possibly imagine how this has happened. It’s never […]

The following excerpt is taken from a message by Dan Meaders preached in 1999. In “Homer’s Odyssey,” there is the story in that famous classic, and in that story, there is a certain island that is inhabited by these little sea creatures that they call sea nymphs. And the island was called the Island of […]

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! […]
