God’s people were respected

July 31, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. After seeing God deal with Ananias and Sapphira those that were not part of the church were afraid. They had seen that God was at work among His people. Though they were afraid they highly respected God’s […]

Trying to escape God’s will

July 30, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? Jesus tells Peter to put up his sword. Jesus will not try to escape the Father’s will. He simply submits to what He knows that God wants. I […]

He will rise!

July 29, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep […]

Proving who He is

July 28, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Jesus told them before it happened so that they would know that He was God. If He knew before it happened then He was no ordinary man. Jesus came to this earth […]

Sunday in Review 7-26

July 27, 2015 By Robert Canfield Leave a Comment

This morning at Vision Baptist Church, we learned great truths about government and God from Matthew chapter 22. When the Pharisees and Sadducees came to entangle Jesus in a trap by asking Him questions about politics, Jesus responded in a way that teaches us many lessons. First, He acknowledged the government and each citizen’s responsibility to […]

Love people

July 27, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. Jesus explains, in this passage, the difference between Him and someone who would be paid to take care of us. He loves us. He gives His life for us. The guy who takes care of the sheep for money […]

You won’t get the Word till you get Jesus!

July 26, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. This is a wild statement. If you do not believe Jesus then the Word doesn’t abide in you. I see so many important truths in that. Jesus is the Word. If you say you believe […]

Why do people hate Jesus

July 25, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. It is so easy to misread why so many hate Jesus. They make up all sorts of excuses. They say that they do not believe in God. They are tired of the church […]

Touch Him and see

July 24, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Jesus was alive. He had risen from the dead. They were shocked. He told them to touch Him. He was not a ghost. They would […]

Don’t get too busy

July 23, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. It is so easy to get so caught up in this world that I do not think of the next world. I worry […]

Luke 14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, […]

Be careful where you sit

Luke 14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. Jesus warned His disciples to never believe that […]

Jesus never questioned Satan’s authority

Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee […]

Blessed Mary

July 19, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Mary knew that she was blessed. She called herself a handmaiden. A handmaiden was a female slave. It was her duty to be at hand an to obey. She realized that God had […]

Even the lost world recognize their jealousy

July 18, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. The chief priests wants Pilate to judge Jesus. Pilate can quickly see that Jesus hasn’t done anything wrong. The religious people are simply […]

Afraid to ask

July 17, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. Jesus was telling them clearly that He would die, be buried, and then rise from the dead. They heard the words but did not understand them. They were afraid to ask. It will be after the resurrection before they understand some […]

We all need a vacation

July 16, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Jesus took His men and got away so that they could rest. Their rest would be short lived but […]

Don’t let the Word be choked!

Mark 4:18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. The work of God and His Word can be choked in our […]

Your attitude towards God

Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that […]

The church is coming

July 13, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. The nation of Israel had ceased to make the Lord known. Jesus tells His disciples that the Jews, Israel, would lose the opportunity to be the channel that God […]

The Heart Does The Speaking – Daily Devotional – July 12th, 2015

July 12, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. I think that it is amazing to consider this truth. What we say and do comes out of our heart. We tend to think in […]

God And His Men – Daily Devotional – July 11th, 2015

July 11, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. The way we treat God’s men shows our reaction to Him. If the Jews would receive the apostles when then went to their cities then they would be receiving Jesus and also the Father that sent Him. […]

Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? I think this has to be the hardest thing ever. It is not thought or taught in our world today. We are to love those that hate us. We are to pray for those […]

Malachi 1:8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer it now unto thy governor; Will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. The people didn’t respect God. They gave God […]

Haggai 1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; And when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, And ye run every man unto his own house. The prophet Haggai was speaking to them about their priorities. […]

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Birds of a feather flock together. The Peruvians used to say, Tell me who you run around with and I will tell you who you are! There is great truth here. These two meet and walk together because they want to. They are on the […]

Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, And make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. This is what God did with His people when they went astray. It is pictured in what He did with Gomer in the life story of Hosea. God hedged up the way, […]

Daniel 6:5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Daniel’s enemies knew that the only way to catch him in something was if they made a rule against his worship and service of God. That would be […]
