Is The LORD First In Your Heart?

August 23, 2026

What does it mean to truly love the Lord? This verse gives us the answer: with all our heart, soul, and strength.

God does not want only a small part of our lives. He wants to be first in our thoughts, our decisions, our relationships, and everything we do. When we love Him wholeheartedly, serving Him is not just a duty—it becomes a joy.

Our love for God is shown in the way we obey His Word, spend time with Him in prayer, and share His love with others. We will never love Him perfectly, but every day we can choose to love Him more.

Today, ask yourself: Is the Lord first in my heart?

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5

Peace in a Troubled World

August 21, 2026

We live in a world filled with trouble, uncertainty, and heartache. Jesus never promised that our lives would always be easy. In fact, He told us plainly that we would have tribulation.

But He also gave us a wonderful promise: “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

No matter what we may face today, we can have peace because our trust is not in our circumstances—it is in Jesus Christ. He is greater than every problem, every fear, and every burden.

When the world around us seems uncertain, remember that Jesus is still in control. Stay close to Him, trust His Word, and let His peace fill your heart.

Today, be encouraged. Jesus has overcome the world, and in Him we can have peace.

Love And Forgive

August 20, 2026

Do you have someone you will not forgive?

Forgiveness is a choice. We can harbor that hurt and not forgive or you can choose to forgive and try to mend that broken relationship.

If restoration is not possible, then forgive that person in your heart. Pray for those who despite fully use use you, the Bible tells us. It is hard to hold onto not forgiving when you genuinely pray for that person.

Decide today and start to pray for that one who has hurt you. You will have a freedom you cannot imagine until you do.

Pray For Harvest With SOS Events

August 19, 2026

As we look ahead to September and October, we ask you to pray for SOS Events Ministry. These are some of our busiest months of the year, with many fall festivals, community events, and Halloween alternative events where we will have opportunities to share the Gospel.

We are especially thankful for several new teams, including teams on Long Island, New York, and in Pennsylvania. Please pray that these new volunteers will be encouraged, strengthened, and given many opportunities to tell others about Jesus.

We also have an exciting opportunity to present SOS Events Ministry at a conference in California. Pray that God will open the door, provide everything that is needed, and use this opportunity to introduce the ministry to people who may want to become involved.

Most of all, pray for the people who will stop at an SOS Events display during these upcoming events. Pray that hearts will be prepared, that our workers will have wisdom and boldness, and that many souls will come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior.

The harvest is great, and we need your prayers!

Matthew 9:37-38 KJV
“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

Faith Not Fear!

August 18, 2026

David faced a giant who seemed impossible to defeat. Goliath was bigger, stronger, and far more experienced in battle. But David did not focus on the size of the giant. He focused on the greatness of his God.

David knew where his strength came from. His confidence was not in himself, his sling, or the stones in his hand. His confidence was in the Lord.

We all face “giants” in our lives—problems that seem too big, circumstances we cannot control, or fears about what may happen tomorrow. When those times come, we have a choice. We can talk about how big the problem is, or we can remember how great our God is.

Don’t talk fear. Talk faith. God is still greater than anything we will ever face.

1 Samuel 17:45 KJV
“Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.”

Whatever giant you are facing today, put your faith in the Lord. The giant may be big, but our God is bigger!

Six Precious Souls Saved in Pennsylvania

August 17, 2026

What a blessing to hear good news from Limerick, Pennsylvania! Last Saturday, six people accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

We are so thankful for Donna and Brian Gottshall and their faithfulness in sharing the Gospel through SOS Events Ministry. Every person who trusts Christ is precious, and we rejoice that six more souls now know the wonderful gift of salvation.

God continues to use faithful volunteers who are willing to go, share His Word, and tell others how they can know for sure they are going to Heaven. Praise the Lord for these six decisions and for another opportunity to see the Gospel change lives!

Please continue to pray for Donna and Brian and the SOS Events teams in Pennsylvania as they faithfully share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13 KJV

Have A Blessed Sunday

August 16, 2026

Today is Sunday—a special day to worship the Lord and thank Him for who He is and for all He has done.

“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Worship is more than singing a song or attending church. It is humbling our hearts before God and recognizing that He is our Creator, our Savior, and our Lord.

As we gather together today, may we put aside the distractions of the week and simply worship Him. He alone is worthy of our praise.

Have a blessed Sunday, and take time today to worship the Lord!

Praise the Lord—He Answers Prayer

August 14, 2026

One of the greatest blessings in the Christian life is knowing that we have a God who hears us when we pray.

Sometimes His answer comes quickly, and sometimes we must wait. Sometimes He answers exactly the way we hoped, and other times His answer is different because He knows what is best. But we can always trust that God hears the prayers of His children.

Looking back, I can see so many times when the Lord has answered prayer—providing a need, giving strength during a difficult time, protecting someone I love, opening a door, or working in a situation that seemed impossible.

Today, I simply want to say, Praise the Lord! Thank You, Jesus, for hearing and answering prayer.

Whatever you are praying about today, keep praying and keep trusting. God is listening.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.” — Psalm 116:1 KJV
