Do you put Jesus in your life as first priority? He will direct your paths in all areas of your life if you put Him first.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Whose First?
January 11, 2017The Election is Over
January 10, 2017The election is over! Donald Trump is our President as soon as he takes office in just 10 days. Let us as citizens give him a chance. There have been good Presidents and bad. America has always been strong because we have come together and stood behind our leaders, if we agreed or disagreed.
Especially you as a Christian can do one thing and that is to pray for President elect Trump and his choice for other key people who will be leading the USA for at least the next 4 years. The Bible tells us to pray for them.
I Timothy 1-4 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. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved.
Worship
January 8, 2017
Today is the Lord’s Day for Christians all over the world. For some church service is already over and the rest may be getting ready to go to church today. Then there are those who will not be in a church building today but will be worshipping at home, in the hospital, at work or maybe on the battlefield. The Bible tells us to serve the Lord and come before His presence with singing.
We can worship the Lord today no matter where we are or whatever the circumstance. So if you can, fellowship together in church but if not, worship the Lord in your heart and sing unto Him. God looks on the heart.
Do You Feel Safe?
January 7, 2017Do you feel safe? Everyday there is some news of tragedy. Yesterday, in Florida there was a shooting in the Ft. Lauderdale airport when travelers went to pick up their luggage from a flight they were on. Five deaths and many injuries. Traffic accidents, drive by shootings, robberies and many more dangers are heard about everyday.
Should we as Christians allow fear to rule our lives. NO!! The Bible tells us in both the Old and New Testament to “fear not” over 100 times. God wants us to put our trust in Him. Do bad things happen to good people? Absolutely, but God promises to bring us through all circumstances. Safety is of the Lord.
Psalms 118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
Psalms 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
Celebrate New Years Eve
December 31, 2016Trying to find an image for New Years Eve was an eye opener. Most all of the pictures were of drinking and partying. These kind of images show what our society has become.
As Christians our prayer for you is that you will spend tonight in a way that would please the Lord. Not with alcohol, but with clean fun and fellowship. You will be safer and not wake up with a headache in the morning.
In time past we always had a party at church. Starting in the early evening, there would be singing, games, food maybe a Christian movie and then at midnight we would begin the New Year with prayer. Sometimes we would then gather around the piano and sing for several more hours, enjoying the fellowship and brining honor to God.
So this evening have a safe Happy New Year’s Eve and may God bring blessings to you in 2017.
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Are You Ready For 2017?
December 30, 2016Are you ready for a new year? Many will make resolutions that they cannot keep because they do not have the wisdom or willpower to follow through on the changes they want to make in life. There is only one way that we can change from our old ways to new.
That is by trusting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then asking him to change our behavior. There are many promises in the Bible that tells us we can depend on Him to help us make the changes in our lives that we desire to have. So do not make resolutions for New Year’s but put your trust in Jesus to make your life what you want it to be.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
It Is Well With My Soul
December 27, 2016When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Chorus:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul
Many are still celebrating Christmas and looking for ward to New Years Activities, but some people are hurting. Today there is a funeral for a father of 3 who was killed in an accident 2 days befor Christmas. Another friend’s brother died from cancer last week. As Christians we can say even in the midst of tragedy, it is well with my soul. If you are hurting our prayer for you is to lean on Jesus who can give you the peace and comfort you need through this difficult time.
This song was written by Horatio G. Spafford in 1873 when he was over the spot where his 4 daughters were drowned when the ship they were traveling on sank. He was on his way to comfort his grieving wife when the “peace that passes understanding” prompted him to write this beautiful hymn.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Peace and Joy
December 26, 2016Christmas is over, the presents are opened, leftovers are in the fridge and the cleanup and putting away of decorations has begun. Many people feel a letdown after the long awaited day is over. However for the Christian, the joy of knowing Jesus, not as a baby in a manger, but as our Lord and Savior brings an inner peace and joy that only we can know.
May the sprit of “peace on earth, goodwill toward men” be with you today and throughout the year everyday.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Tidings of Joy
December 17, 2016Christmas is one week from today. You may be busy with parties, shopping, Christmas programs and all the preparation for your special family traditions. But do not forget the true meaning of Christmas in your busy life.
It is a good thing to read the Christmas story in Luke 2. God gave us the greatest gift of all, salvation through His Son Jesus. Thank you, Father, for sending your Son, Jesus, to be born to die on the cross for our sins.
Our prayer at SOS Events is that everyone we know and people who read the blog will have a wonderful time with family and friends.
To those who of us who have lost loved ones this year it can be a difficult time but God also sent the Holy Spirit to comfort our hearts and bring joy in the times of grief.
Some of you may have no family, but remember you have a friend that sticks closer than a brother and we can have joy in our heart no matter what the circumstance.
God meets every need and we need to Praise Him.
Luke 1:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
December 13, 2016“Hark the Herald Angels Sing” was written in the 1700’s by Charles Wesley. He and his brother John were dynamic preachers in that time and were responsible for revival in both England and America. They founded the Methodist Church.Charles wrote hundreds of hymns, first published in the Methodist Hymnal. He was saved under the preaching of George Whitfield, who also had a part in the lyrics of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” as he changed some of the words to the hymn as we know it today.
The influence of these great men of the faith are still being felt today. If only we would see men today of such dedication to the preaching of the Gospel.
Unfortunately a lot of the churches have started singing “new” Christmas songs and the old familiar hymns are being tossed aside, along with the power of the Holy Spirit. Programs have replaced power in many churches today. If you hear or sing this great hymn this Christmas stop for a minute or two and pray for revival. Our churches need revival, our homes need revival and our nation needs revival.
1. Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
(Chorus)
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
2. Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris’n with with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
