Judas Iscariot

April 16, 2019

He walked with Jesus. He saw the miracles. He was trusted enough to handle the money. Others did not see him as evil. JUDAS. A name that even today we think of betrayal. Greed, for 30 pieces of silver he was willing to betray the ONE who loved him.

We wonder how he could do such a horrible thing and yet, do we betray Jesus with our attitude, our indifference or our sin? When Jesus told the disciples that one would betray Him, each one asked, “Is it I?”

Let us ask ourselves, do I betray my Savior, Jesus, in any way? If so let us ask His forgiveness had love Him as He loved us.

Matthew 26:25

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

SOS Events Workers

April 15, 2019

This couple is a vital part of SOS Events Ministry. Randy and Romona Thomas has been with the ministry for 5 years as missionaries. He is also Pastor of Griffin Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. SOS Events Ministry is blessed to have this couple on our team. They work at events and have enthusiasm for SOS Events, so that many other Christians now are volunteers to win souls at events also.

They have won countless souls to Jesus in the years they have been with the ministry. Their church is growing and vibrant.

They are an example of how God uses people to work with SOS Events. We are exceptionally grateful to have many people like Randy and Romona working with us in the ministry.

1 Corinthians 3:9

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Palm Sunday

Is Jesus you King? Not only on Palm Sunday but always. A few days later these very people who honored Him with Palm branches, cried out crucify Him!

Where is Your Focus?

April 13, 2019

Easter is a week away and the question today is, Where is your focus? When we go shopping do we see symbols of Jesus resurrection or a huge display of Easter baskets, chocolates and jelly beans? Unfortunately, it is hard to find anything that honors the true meaning of the Easter, Jesus is alive!!

Celebrating with fun, food and family is great and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as our focus is on Jesus. Let’s be sure our children and grandchildren know and understand that Jesus died, was buried and three days later HE AROSE!!

Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

The Best Diet

April 12, 2019

Christian fellowship often centers around food. Food is served at all kinds of events. In America we are blessed to have abundance and variety of whatever we choose to eat.

With that great blessing also comes responsibility to eat correctly. Diet plans are popular and also are available everywhere we look. We could and should be satisfied to have just a small taste of food that would not be good for our health. It is the temptation to over indulge because something looks good and tastes good, then we continue to eat it knowing it is not good for us. But there is something we can have that is extremely good for us and the more we indulge the better we are.

The Bible tells us to taste and see in Psalms. We can be blessed if we follow that advice. Trusting in The Lord Jesus is the best diet. Reading His Word daily, praying  and following Him will bring blessings that no physical diet can ever bring in our lives.

Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Just One

April 11, 2019

At the Flea Market yesterday, just one Salvation was recorded. The following story is an example of the SOS Events volunteer that goes to an event. That volunteer is like the little boy and the starfish is the person who trusted Jesus as their Savior. One life is saved and on the way to Heaven and the volunteer makes a big difference in that individual’s life.

“One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.”

Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”.

The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”

The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭15:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

True Forgiveness

John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Six Saved on Saturday

April 9, 2019

The crowd was sparse, even though it was a beautiful day in Florida. Maybe everyone went to the beach. But God was faithful and blessed the efforts of the volunteers with SOS Events Ministry. Six people accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Breanna, 10 years old stopped by with her Mother and several other children. She wanted to listen as the other children ran off to see other things. Her Mother was 100% sure she was going to Heaven but Breanna was not. With her Mother’s permission, Breanna asked Jesus to forgive her and invited Him to be her Savior. She is excited and looking forward to receiving her free Bible lesson.

Psalms 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
