We Need YOU!

February 8, 2017

The Florida Strawberry Festival is about a month away. We are in full swing with trainings for those that would like to help share The Three Things God Cannot Do at the festival booth. A total of 132 slots need filled during the 11 days of the event.  If you would like to train to help share the 3 Things please contact the ministry through our website  www.sosevents.org where you are able to view the 3 Things God Cannot Do or you can go to SignUpGenius for the calendar and choose your spot.

Last year over 200 people come to know the Lord as their Savior. We are already praying for those that will work in the booth as well as those that will come by the booth to hear and trust Christ.

We are asking for your prayers and if availability and location allows you to commit to help this year we look forward to hearing from you.

Matthew 9:37 (KJV) Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Transformation

February 6, 2017

Being willing to let the Lord change us is an important part of our growth. In Romans 12:1-2, God tells us three things on how we can partner with Him for internal and external change. 1) Present your life, your work and your ministry to Him, 2) Don’t follow the pattern of the world, as you might miss out on the radical changes He wants for you and 3) Renew your mind. This can be done by staying in the Scriptures and praying.

Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Sing Unto the Lord

February 5, 2017

Psalms 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Isaiah 12:5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this [is] known in all the earth.

Psalms 104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.  

 Judges 5:3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

Servanthood

Yesterday at the ministry, the SOS Events Senior Servant ladies once again met to stuff, label and seal the newsletters. Praise the Lord for their faithfulness, cheerful heart and gracious spirit.

Numbers 6:24-26 (KJV)

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Plans

January 30, 2017

Planning is something most people do to make sure they stay on task. God has plans for each of us too. In the Scriptures, Jeremiah speaks of thoughts the Lord has for us, plans of peace and prosperity. But did you realize that Satan has plans for you as well? Satan is after your name and reputation. When you wake up every morning, he has already plotted how to come against you that day. You have a choice. Whose plan are you going to follow? Call on the Lord for help and guidance in every day.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)      Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Pray for Unity

January 21, 2017

As a Christian it is our responsibility to pray for our leaders. Some people are happy that Donald Trump is our president and some people are not happy, but the Bible says to pray for those who have authority over us. We need to pray that God will give President Trump and Vice President Pence wisdom to lead America in the right direction. Only God can bring peace and prosperity to our country. Let us join together in prayer for all our government leaders and that our country will reunite in peace.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

SOS Leaders

January 20, 2017

SOS Events had a successful meeting with team leaders from FL, AL, PA via phone conference yesterday. We thank the Lord for all the leaders that oversee events and train others to be soul winners.

Proverbs 11:3 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

 

Children

January 16, 2017

Graceanne Williams

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending my daughter, Graceanne’s, Sunday School class that she teaches. What a blessing to see and hear one of our children, as an adult following the Lord. Graceanne spoke about the Bible and how to study and grow closer to the Lord through daily reading and meditating on the Bible.

Training children is not an easy task. It requires wisdom, consistency, prayer and patience. In our family daily devotions together was required from the time they were born. Regular church attendance and a good Christian school were all part of successful child rearing. A home where parents were united in love, discipline and good times were also part of our home when the children were growing up. Also, the willingness to admit when we are wrong goes a long way to build trust in your children. 

If you are a young parent do not be discouraged. Look at your children not as they are but what they will become when the Lord directs them in the future.

Carolyn Curtis

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sunday Blessing

Friday the 13th

January 13, 2017

It is Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious?  There are a number of popular myths and superstitions surrounding the day, most famously:

If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die.

If a funeral procession passes you on Friday the 13th, you will be the next to die.

Do not start a trip on Friday or you will encounter misfortune.

If you break a mirror on Friday the 13th, you will have seven years of bad luck.

A child born on Friday the 13th will be unlucky for life.

Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck.

If you walk under a ladder or if a black cat crosses you on Friday the 13th, you will have bad luck.

As a Christian we should not believe in luck, good or bad. We should trust the Lord for everyday no matter what the calendar says. Superstition causes our minds to be confused and results in lack of trust in God.

Psalms 71:1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
