Friday, Saturday and Sunday are great opportunities for people to hear the gospel in Michigan. Yesterday, the SOS Events Team in Michigan had the privilege of leading over 20 people to accept Jesus as their Savior.
Please pray with us that the next two days will see many more people come to the Lord.
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, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. I Timothy 2:1-4
In America a day is set aside to honor our military who have fought and some have died for our freedom.
The Bible tells us of another who died to set not only the citizens of the USA, but everyone in the world who accepts His death, burial and resurrection as truth. His name is Jesus.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:22
In God’s Word we are told that we can have joy in every situation. The joy of the Lord is my strength. when we have trusted in Jesus as our Savior, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. He gives us joy.
Joy is listed as the second fruit of the spirit. If you are lacking joy, feel lonely, fearful or depressed, ask Jesus to help you return to the joy you can have by trusting in Him.
You may have a beautiful home or you may be living in a place of poverty. You may not have a home at all and have no earthly possessions. Whatever you have or wherever you live will not matter when you get to Heaven.
How do we lay up treasures in Heaven? We must be sure we are going there by trusting in Jesus for forgiveness of sin.
Obedience to God’s Word. Loving God with all your heart and loving one another.
Telling others about salvation. There is a crown for soul winners. All our treasure in Heaven we can lay at Jesus feet. He is the One who is worthy of all our love, devotion and treasure.
Matthew 11:28-30 – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus! In God’s Word, the Bible, Jesus has many names. He is the beginning and the end.
If we don’t know anything else, the one thing we must know and believe to have eternal life is that Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and 3 days later He rose from the dead.
Once we know and accept Him all the other things that He is will become clear.
Jesus is our rock, our advocate, our redeemer and friend. Look at some of Hiss names in the image above and Praise Him for all He has done.
1 Corinthians 6:11 – And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
There is a children’s song “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”
As Christians we need to let our light shine by telling others, especially people who do not know Jesus, how they can be saved by believing in His death, burial and resurrection.
When we hide our light under a bushel, we are not doing what the Lord ask us to do in His word.
Let your light shine today!
Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Have you ever been away from your home and felt homesick?
As Christians we should be longing for our permanent home which is Heaven. The cares of this life overwhelm us at times.
Even in good times, like getting married or having a new baby, we should still have a desire to look to our heavenly home, Heaven.
Think about the joy of seeing our Savior, Jesus! Reunion with loved ones who have gone on before us. Not to mention the wonderful plans Jesus has for us that we cannot even imagine.
