Deuteronomy 7:22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. God programmed growth into our lives. He could do it all at once but if He did we would be unable […]

Our young people need godly adult relationships
2 Timothy 3:10-17 Our young people need godly adult relationships Our young people need to know our lives outside of the classroom and need to see us go through difficult times. They need a genuine and durable relationship with adults that have become the things we teach in the class. […]
Just remember
Deuteronomy 7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; What a promise! Don’t be afraid just remember! He said you aren’t to the size of your enemy or the task ahead of you just remember what you have seen […]
Missionary Letter: Mark Coffey
Here is letter from Mark Coffey, our staff missionary.
The power of the Word of God
Deuteronomy 4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. God’s Word and what it does in our lives is a testimony to the world that […]
Wasted men of war
Deuteronomy 2:14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them. Imagine the Bible terms that you find in this […]
Sunday in Review
Bulletin for the Week: VISIONNEWS.July27 Another great Sunday! We had 138 during the Adult Bible Fellowship and Sunday School hour, 185 in the morning service, and 112 in the evening service. (You may wonder why I give these numbers. It is to help us look back on these days and have a better remembrance of what […]

Check out the thank you letter from Kevin and Beth White, our missionary family to Bolivia. Kevin White thank you letter
Sharing the honor
Numbers 27:20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. God had greatly honored Moses. The loved him, most of the time. They were used to following him. God had made him big in their eyes when He used Moses to […]

Learn the lesson
Numbers 22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. Balaam says look if what I am doing displeases you I will get me back again just […]
getting the wrong answer
Numbers 22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: God told him to go. He asked in prayer and got permission but the angel of the Lord say that the […]
Insisting
Numbers 22:20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do. If we insist enough we can get God to let us do what we want […]
Is God’s hand on you?
Numbers 17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. God has a way of marking His man and making it clear who He is calling into […]
God’s hand
Numbers 16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. There must be something about our ministry that says God sent me. Things must happen that are beyond our power and ability: they will not […]
The earth filled with His glory
Numbers 14:21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. The earth will be filled with His glory He says. He is angry, Moses has warned God that people are watching Him and will say that He couldn’t take care of His people if He […]
Stepping out in faith
Numbers 14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. Satan and self would like for us to focus on ourselves and what we can do or […]
Friendships often determine direction.
Text: 2 Timothy 3:1 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” Right now, dangerous and risky things are coming to our young people disguised as friendships. Friendships determine the majority of the direction in their life and the things that influence them the most. True friends will love them, not just […]
Step out believing
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. The people saw enemies as giants and themselves as grasshoppers. God had promised them that they would win. It is so easy […]
Don’t complain
Numbers 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. When the people complained it displeased the Lord. They weren’t satisfied with what […]
Don’t give God your junk!
Leviticus 22:24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. It would make it an easy choice if you could give God something that was of lesser value. They were going to sacrifice the animal any […]
Jesus took our sins away
Leviticus 16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit […]
It is the Word of God
Leviticus 11:32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so […]
Sunday in Review
Bulletin for the Week of July 13th: VISIONNEWS In the morning service we were blessed to have many first time visitors. Which was especially great this time of year with so many people traveling. We had 180 people in attendance for the morning service with 80% of those people attending an Adult Bible Fellowship or a […]
Strange fire
Leviticus 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. Strange fire is a fire that the Lord has not commanded us to offer. He wants to be worshipped […]
God gave wisdom
Exodus 35:35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise […]
Hooking up with the wrong people can cause problems
Exodus 34:12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: God warned His people to be careful not to make a covenant with the people of the land. They worshipped other gods. They would […]
God goes with him!
Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Moses is given the promise that God’s presence will go with Him. That is a beautiful promise that all of us have in the New Testament! Jesus lives in us and goes with us at all times. He […]
Not a game
Exodus 28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed […]
Sunday in Review
Bulletin for the Week: VISIONNEWS: July 6th-2014 We had another wonderful Sunday! We were excited to see 191 people with us today being a holiday weekend, with several first time visitors. We were clearly taught from Matthew 9 how Jesus has the power to forgive sin! This is something we are very excited about! Not just […]
Will we obey or not?
Exodus 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. God was going to give them the bread from heaven. Even […]
That the world may know
Exodus 8:10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. Everything that is happening in Egypt in these verses is to show the world and the world powers that there is no other god like […]
Confess and bring an offering
Leviticus 5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid […]
He is in charge
Exodus 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? Moses makes a familiar complaint. He can’t. It is beyond him. He is unable to do what God would have him do. Then God […]
What an attitude!
Genesis 47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their […]
Get the big picture
Genesis 45:5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. Joseph wanted his brothers to see the big picture. God had allowed all that had happened in his life to take place for a greater purpose. God was allowing […]
We can see
Genesis 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; What a testimony! They could see that the Lord was with Isaac. I so desperately want that […]
Exaggerated threats
Genesis 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? We all know that we should live in the moment! We should enjoy today and what God is doing. Sometimes, however, that becomes counter productive. We can imagine our problems to be larger […]
Some things we just accept
Genesis 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. I think this verse sums up how we should think, feel, and react to certain things that happen in our lives. I definitely do not believe in fatalism but there are somethings […]
Obedience brings more promise
Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which […]
