Amazing Grace

June 16, 2015

One of the hymns that honor the Lord and His Saving power is “Amazing Grace”. SOS Events ministry teaches people how to witness and become soul winners. Materials are provided to help Chistians win people to Christ. We can be trained, know the scriptures, have everything just right but without God’s grace all that we do will not work. We must remember it is the Holy Spirit that does the saving. We are just His messengers who bring hope to  the unsaved.

2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

  

What Do You Think About?

June 15, 2015

Sometimes our minds get thinking about things that bring temptation and problems into our lives. The Bible tells us what to think about in Philippians. When our minds start to wander into places we should not go spiritually, think on these things.

This is a good verse to memorize.

  

Are You a Faithful Servant?

June 13, 2015

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

These words were spoken by JESUS to His disciples and are meaningful to us today. At SOS Events ministry there are many volunteers to do events. Most are faithful and if they commit to do an event they are there on time and do a great job. 

There are a few, unfortunately, who do not take their commitment seriously thus putting a burden on the other workers. Witnessing and winning souls to Christ is a serious responsibility. 

When God directs you to something for Him are you a faithful servant, or do you find an excuse like some of JESUS followers in Matthew 8:21?

Faithfulness is important to JESUS. When you stand before Him will He say, “Well,done thou good and faithful servant.”?

Its Monday and we have a great God to carry us through this week. Smile!

2 Samuel 7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Stress

April 11, 2015

Billboard sign, “If stress burned calories, I’d be a super model”.

If you are stressed with the cares of life there is a cure. JESUS is the answer.

1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

One Day

April 1, 2015

This hymn could be an Christmas Carol, a song for His Crucifixion, an Easter hymn or a joyful phrase for JESUS coming again. It is a personal favorite because the whole story of Jesus from birth to His coming again! Just read the words penned so long ago by j. Wilbur Chapman.

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises,

One day when sin was as black as could be,

Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,

Dwelt among men, my example is He!

Refrain

Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;

Buried, He carried my sins far away;

Rising, He justified freely forever;

One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,

One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;

Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:

Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

Refrain

One day they left Him alone in the garden,

One day He rested, from suffering free;

Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;

Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

Refrain

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,

One day the stone rolled away from the door;

Then He arose, over death He had conquered;

Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

Refrain

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,

One day the skies with His glories will shine;

Wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing;

Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Refrain

Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

Marie, the Shy Soul Winner

March 14, 2015

Marie is a mature lady, probably in her early 60’s. She has been a Christian for many years and has served the Lord faithfully. Church secretary, Sunday School teacher (for very young children), and a blessing to her friends and family, but had never won a person to the Lord.
The one thing that kept her from being a witness for Christ is that she Is painfully shy.
Staff from SOS Events came to her church to teach soul winning and to witness at a county fair.
The Pastor asked for volunteers to go to the training and sign up for a shift at the fair.
Marie wanted to do as the Pastor asked but she could never talk to strangers, she thought.
She did follow though, however, and her turn came to work in the booth at the fair.
The SOS trainer sat beside her and 2 young girls were brought to the table.
Marie would say, “what do I say now?” And the trainer would guide her through each step to led those girls to JESUS.
Both girls prayed and invited JESUS to be their Savior.
Marie was so excited. She needed a little more instruction but before her shift was over she had led several more people to Christ.
On the following Sunday, the Pastor asked for testimonies from the people who had worked at the fair. He said, “I will not ask Marie because I know she is to shy to come up and speak before the congregation.”
Marie spoke up, came up and gave a glowing testimony of how she was changed from being to shy to witness into a bold soul winner for Christ.
Soul winning not only changes the new converts life, it changes the person who is witnessing life.
Many Christians like Marie are to shy or afraid to witness for Christ. If you are one of them, SOS Events ministry can help through training, prayer and the Holy Sprit’s power. You too can become a bold witness for Christ.

Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Friday the 13th

March 13, 2015

Friday the 13th is feared by some people as an unlucky day. It is an old superstition dating back to the Middle Ages when people believed Friday’s to be unlucky and also 13 as an unlucky number. Put together and they believed it would be a disaster.
CHRISTIANS should not believe in superstitions. Black cats, walking under a ladder, break a mirror causes 7 years bad luck and there are many more both bad and good luck superstions. We call these superstitions “old wives tales” or fables. They are not true and the Bible speaks against believing in such things.

1 Timothy 4:6-7
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives ‘fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

What You Need to Know to Get to Heaven

March 7, 2015

“We should remember that people can go to Heaven without knowing much of the Word of God, but they cannot go to Heaven without knowing Jesus Christ as Savior.”
Lee Roberson
SOS Events ministry uses few verses to led a person to JESUS Christ and those people walk away from the SOS booth SAVED. Only 6 verses in the Bible can change a person’s life for all eternity.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
