Loved less

May 31, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

II Corinthians 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. Paul loved the Lord and the people God had called him to serve. They often didn’t appreciate him but he didn’t care. He loved them anyway. He was ready […]

Take care of each other

May 30, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. God wants the church to not be divided. Each local church should work at loving each other. We are to care for each other. We are to be there to help […]

Church disciplines its own

May 29, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. God judges lost people. Sin has its way with them. God’s people handle their own sin issues and keep serving God. If they do not turn from their sin and get right then the church should […]

Wait for God to judge

May 28, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. He knows what is really happening all the time. He knows what we […]

No boasting

May 27, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. God wants all the glory for our salvation. He did the work and He will get the glory. He did that by giving us salvation as a gift. He tells us that all of […]

He gives all equal opportunity

May 26, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. God is not partial. He will save Jew and Gentile. He has no partiality. Isn’t that a great promise about Him and His character. You can be saved. He doesn’t give to one and not another. So you have the opportunity to be saved. […]

Paul affirmed that Jesus was alive

May 25, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. Paul is on trial for his life and still will not back down. Jesus had died and risen again. Jesus is alive said Paul. The government officials saw it as […]

It is God

May 24, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. We all have small jobs we can be doing but it is Go that saves. It is God that builds His church. We work but after we work all we can do is […]

Great and continual sorrow

May 23, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. Paul hurt for the lost. He loved his country. He loved Israel. He wanted them to be saved. His burden for them caused him to live under a great heaviness. He felt a continual sorrow in his heart because of their lost […]

Sunday in Review

May 22, 2017 By Jeffery Brown Leave a Comment

We had another great Sunday at Vision Baptist Church with 264 in attendance! Pastor preached a challenging message in our current Sunday AM series through the book of Mark entitled, “Living in Victory.” When we are saved we are made to not live in sin, God has given us power over sin and in Christ […]

Delivered to serve in newness

May 22, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. The law showed us who we were. The law brought us to death. It was in this death that we trusted Christ […]

So happy to have my sins forgiven

May 21, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. There is a happiness and peace that comes from knowing that your sins are forgiven. They have been found out, God knows! Still knowing He forgives. He covers our sins. He washes them away. He takes our sin on Himself […]

Preaching Jesus

May 20, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. God worked so that the text the Eunuch was reading could be where Philip could so clearly preach Jesus. Our goal no matter where we are in the Bible is to find Jesus and preach Him. We […]

So much ignorance.

May 19, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. Peter knew that most of the wickedness done in the crucifixion of Jesus was done out of ignorance. Isn’t that the truth though. We do not know the truth. Since we do not know the truth we […]

The Lord added to His church

May 18, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. This is one of the greatest promises that I love in the Bible. It is His church and we know that from Matthew 16:18. He promised to build it. Here in […]

Secret Disciples

May 17, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. You might want to hide your love for Jesus but […]

We are not of this world

May 16, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Jesus gave us the Word of God. When we get the Word and love it then we set up a barrier, a division. Those that believe […]

They hate us because they hated Him first

May 15, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If you truly love Jesus and His Word then you will not fit in in this world. You will also realized that there is only one right way to live and please God. That means that those who […]

He foretold so they would know

May 14, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Jesus told them things before they happened so that they would know He knew. He could only know the future if He were God. He made it clear to them that the […]

His Word changed lives

May 13, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 4:41 And many more believed because of his own word; Many had believed Jesus because of what the Samaritan woman had said to them. Now we see people believing because they have come and heard the Lord speak. He tells them the truth. Their hearts know that what He says is truth. They believe […]

His disciples believed Him

May 12, 2017 By Austin Gardner 1 Comment

John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. His first miracle was to turn the water into wine at His mother’s request. The disciples are just starting out with Him. They see and believe that He really is who He […]

Jesus is the very image of the Father

May 11, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. No man has ever seen God. When God wants to be seen we see Jesus. Jesus is God declared, God seen. Jesus is God. We know God. We know […]

Deeply convicted

May 10, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. Peter had denied the Lord three times now. Jesus had looked at him. He hates what he has done. He is broken hearted. He runs from the place to cry and repent. The wonderful thing is that he gets right with God. In just a few […]

Religious Leaders with wrong motives

May 9, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. These scribes liked to be […]

Sleeping or working

May 8, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. Jesus is coming soon. We are to live like He might come today. What will He find us doing? Time has come and gone and will continue to do so. He has not come. We can begin to relax and think that He will not come […]

How much are you giving?

Mark 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that […]

Faith or Fear

May 6, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? They might be in a boat in the middle of a storm but He doesn’t understand why they are afraid. If they know Him and are with Him why would they be afraid? If they […]

Jesus hated His mother

May 5, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? That title sure has some strong words in it! Jesus told us to hate our mother and everyone and everything else. The true meaning behind that hate was to love less. It meant to put another first. Here is an example […]

Getting it all wrong

May 4, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. We are so quick to get it all wrong. We make a burden out of a blessing. We make a rule out of relaxation. […]

Telling Others what Jesus has done for you

May 3, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 1:45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. The man got help from the Lord Jesus. He couldn’t hold it […]

The naked dance

II Samuel 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household.

Even they had their doubts

Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. Some doubted while others worshipped. Jesus has died, been buried, dead three days, risen again and now they are in His presence. They still had doubts and fears. They saw Him. They touched Him.
