Justified by faith

May 31, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. God is the only God there is, for everyone, everywhere! There is only one God. He saves all the same way, through faith. Paul was making clear to the people in the Roman church that God saved […]

Not been hiding!

May 30, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. Paul had not done his ministry in a corner. He had not been a secret agent, 007 spy, […]

Guilty

May 29, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 20:33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. Paul never wanted or wished for the gold or silver of the people in his ministry. When I read this today, I felt a pang of guilt. I know I should always be satisfied. I know I should never want what belongs to […]

Sharing What God has been doing

May 28, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. The missionaries left for the field. They completed their work for the term. They had now returned to their home church. […]

Sunday in Review

May 28, 2018 By Robert Canfield Leave a Comment

We had a wonderful service on Sunday, May 27th here at Vision Baptist. This Sunday was our special Send Off Service for missionaries Miguel and Mariangela Sanabria so we heard a word of testimony from them, and held a special prayer time over them as they are getting ready to go to the country of Colombia.

Persecutions caused preaching

May 27, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. God’s people stayed in place once saved. They didn’t spread out across the globe though that was the command. They remained […]

They need a guide!

May 26, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The man was reading from the very Word of God. He had a copy, but the Bible wasn’t enough for the man. He couldn’t understand without some help. […]

Have to tell!

May 25, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Acts 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. The religious leaders threatened the men of God. They were told that they had to quit preaching about Jesus. God’s men answered with a great truth. There is no option for us. We must speak. We must tell. God has […]

Life through His name

May 24, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 20:31 Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Life, salvation, is through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name given below heaven, among men but he name of Jesus. He is God in human flesh. He came to die for […]

Love is the test

May 23, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. So many of us have so many things we might say about our testimony to the world. We would say that it is our dedication or discipline that proves we are His. We might attribute […]

He died intentionally

May 22, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. I am sure that you know this, but the death of Jesus Christ was no accident. He […]

More than animals

May 21, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. We all work. We have to work. Why do we work? What are we working for? What will our lifetime of […]

Stop procrastinating

May 20, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. It is our custom to put things off for another day. We are procrastinators. We know that the world needs […]

Who would you choose?

May 19, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. Jesus had come to save people from their sins. Jesus loved and served. The religious people hated Him so much that they chose a hardened criminal to […]

He is coming back!

May 18, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Jesus is coming back. He is coming soon. He will come with great glory and great power. When I was a child, I heard much of His coming. Today, little is said, but that doesn’t […]

You can’t look back

May 17, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife. One of wildest stories in the Bible is that of Lot’s wife. She loved the world of sin more than the will of her Savior. She looked back longingly to the past instead of submitting and seeking the promise that God had given. She turned into a pillar of salt. […]

Discipleship builds a church.

May 17, 2018 By trent cornwell Leave a Comment

When Vision Baptist Church was officially started in March of 2006 we had all the dreams and desires of most church plants. We prayed that God would use our combined efforts to see people come to know Christ and become followers of Him. It was also our desire that God would use our new church […]

Just enough for today

May 16, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread. The Lord Jesus taught His disciples to pray and ask for the bread of each day. That is such a great picture of how we are to live. He wants us to ask for enough for today. In Matthew 6:34 He stated that we were […]

No pleasure in the death of the wicked

May 15, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? God doesn’t want anyone to die or to be destroyed. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He wants to see them return to […]

Sent to others

May 14, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. Jesus came to preach the kingdom of God. He came to take it to other cities, not just Jerusalem or Bethlehem. Jesus came to preach the gospel to the world. His thought […]

Never stop growing

May 13, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Even Jesus grew. He increased. He, somehow, increased in wisdom. His body grew. God and man were more and more pleased with Him. I should never stop growing. I want to be more and more of what He would […]

So Sorry I could die

May 12, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 14:33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. It is hard to see or imagine the pain Jesus felt. He had made Himself […]

Stay married

May 11, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. The beauty of marriage is that God made marriage. He makes marriage. He joins us together. The lesson here is to realize that my marriage is more than an accident. God, somehow, unbeknownst to me, has joined us to our spouses. If […]

Makes us remember

May 9, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. Jesus had warned Peter about his pride repeatedly. Peter had promised that he would never deny the Lord Jesus even if the others did. Jesus told […]

Humble yourself

May 8, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Everything in life and this world tells us that we have to put ourselves out there. We have to push and promote ourselves. We must make ourselves significant. Winston Churchill reportedly said that history would be […]

Complaining again

May 7, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? God gave each worker what he wanted. He gave the least per hour precisely what He had agreed to provide. He didn’t cheat anyone. However, it might look like it wasn’t […]

Confused

May 6, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Jesus knew that the regular people weren’t getting His message. They didn’t know what He was doing. They didn’t understand that He was God come to die for their sins. They didn’t realize that salvation was a work of God and not of religion. […]

You are more valuable

May 5, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. God loves and takes care of His creation. He cares for the sparrows. He knows what is happening in their lives. Not a one falls that He doesn’t know it. Jesus says that we are far more valuable than a sparrow, […]

Humility

May 4, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus is calling on us to humble ourselves before Him. We are not prominent, proud, pompous, powerful, people who can get what we want. We need Him. We are to come humbly asking Him to work in our lives. I […]

Malachi 1:14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, And voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: For I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, And my name is dreadful among the heathen. God hated it when His people would act as though they had […]

Micah 7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, Put ye not confidence in a guide: Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6 For the son dishonoureth the father, The daughter riseth up against her mother, The daughter in law against her mother in law; A man’s enemies are […]
