The Easter weekend was busy for SOS Events Ministry in many areas of the USA. Praise the Lord for a great training of 11 new volunteers and 3 new leaders at Union Baptist Church and then at their bike night they had 2 salvations at the booth. Wow! Boom! That’s how discipleship works!! Griffin, GA. This event was lead by our Alabama team.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Have a Happy and Blessed Easter from all the staff at SOS Events Ministry.
After Jesus died on the cross, they took His body down, and laid Him in a tomb. Then the soldiers rolled a great stone over the opening, sealed it and stood guard fearing that the disciples would come and steal the body away. So Jesus lay in the grave for 3 days and His followers mourned. All hope was gone so they thought.
Mark 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. Matthew 27:29-31
Judas betrayed Jesus, Peter denied Him and the rest of the disciples an away. Jesus understands the hurt we may be facing because He went through suffering and rejection. Do we also turn away from Him?
Luke 22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Pilate tried to prove his innocence by washing his hands, but his sin could not be taken away by washing. The only thing that can wash away sin is the blood of Jesus and trusting in His death, burial and resurrection. Pilate was guilty of helping to send Jesus to the cross, but God used him to fulfill prophecy.
Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Are you following the crowd? On Palm Sunday the crowd yelled “Hosanna” and one week later they cried “Crucify Him”. Following the crowd can lead you into wrong decisions.
Luke 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
This is a busy week for people in the ministry as well as most Christians as we prepare for Easter. This is the time of year when many activities are planned to bring the unsaved to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Children’s egg hunts, Church services and other events are taking place this coming weekend that bring many opportunities for people to be saved. Please join with the staff of SOS Events in praying for the unsaved. Then do your part by inviting someone to church, and volunteer to work at a special event. God is not willing that any should perish and will bless you for your participation.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Not one but two church groups had a SOS Events booth set up at First Friday in Lakeland, Florida last evening. The volunteers were excited to have the opportunity to witness and win souls. Both of these groups had been trained several years ago and are still going strong. The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is always effective and God uses it year after year to bring people to salvation.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
