The Wise Men

December 24, 2013

The wise men came a long distance to find the new King. They had seen a star and followed it until they came to the house where Jesus was, then worshiped Him, brought Him costly gifts, and obeyed when they were warned to go back a different way because Herod wanted to kill Jesus.
There is a phrase that is often repeated, “Wise men still seek Him.”
Our prayer is that as you celebrate Christmas you are seeking Him. If you do not know Jesus personally, He is waiting for you to come to Him. If you do know Him, worship Him, that is the greatest gift you can give to Him.

Matthew 2:11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

The Shepherds

December 23, 2013

Shepherds were just ordinary people, doing a lowly job, keeping watch over sheep. Why them? The greatest message of all time and God chose the average working man to hear the good news.
God is not a respecter of persons. Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords came to all people regardless of position, prosperity or power.
The angel gave this message to the shepherds.
Luke 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Mary, Humble and Pure

December 18, 2013

Mary was humble, pure and willing to do what God asked of her. She was young woman with the same emotions and feelings that we all have and God chose her, blessed her and honored her. She still knew she needed a Savior. Her conversation with Elizabeth in Luke gives us great insight into who Mary was and what she believed. A good passage of scripture to study at this time of year.
Luke 1:47
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Mary, Fear to Faith

December 17, 2013

Mary was afraid when she first saw the angel but she listen to his message and then had faith to believe what he told her. Her fear turned to faith in what she though was impossible because she had never been with a man.
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Joseph a Lesson in Obedience

December 16, 2013

Joseph listened to the angel and then obeyed even though he knew that there would be consequences for taking Mary to be his wife. We sometimes forget that the Biblical people were just men and had the same feelings and temptations we have in our lives. Joseph is a good example for us to follow.
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Joseph, God’s Perfect Choice

December 15, 2013

Do you ever think of Joseph when reading the Christmas story? What a kind man. Even before the angel came to visit him he had compassion on Mary. God’s perfect choice for a husband for her. This verse is the KJV and they had not yet been together as husband and wife but were in the engagement period as was the custom at that time.
Matthew 1:19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

Why many people do not love God

November 30, 2013

Why people do not love God.
Evil has come in and taken control of the hearts and minds of the unsaved. There are over 5000 places where you can evangelize and give the plan of salvation. A place to tell others about Jesus Christ. SOS Events ministries can help you find a location in your area, and with proper instruction YOU can bring some of these unsaved into the family of God and bring joy to The Lord.
