Hope is Gone

April 4, 2015

” Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior,
vainly they seal the dead, ” Robert Lowry

Part of this hymn is left out for a reason. The disciples, the women, his Mother and other followers must have been devistated when JESUS was crucified. All hope gone. The One they thought was the Messiah, the King. Dead. They had no idea what was to come. 

Sometimes as CHRISTIANS we feel that way. Maybe the death of a loved one, loss of home or job. The betrayal of a close friend. Illness, discouragement. Many things in our lives can seem impossible, but we like those early followers don’t know the end of the story. Joy comes in the morning.

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. HE AROSE!!!!

Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

JESUS in the News

April 3, 2015

JESUS is in the news and featured on TV this week. There are several movies, documentaries and discussions about Him. He becomes the popular subject for debate this time of year, especially by newscasters who most do not really know who He is.

It is sad that only 2 times a year, Easter and Christmas that people talk about Jesus. Even CHRISTIANS are guilty. We should be talking and witnessing about Jesus everyday of the year. Without Him there would be no hope of Heaven, no forgiveness of sin and no real joy in our lives.

Christian, let us put JESUS the main subject of discussion 365 days a year. He will give us the power to witness of His great love, death, burial and resurrection.

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Faithful Servant

April 2, 2015

Joy is one of the charter members of SOS Senior Servants. Every First Thursday of the month she along with 15-20 ladies come to help with projects for the ministry. In this picture she is counting tracts to put in baggies for distribution. As the ministry grows and more work needs to be done Joy and the other ladies are very much appreciated. Please pray for Joy and all our Senior Servants as they do have problems. Health is always an issue as we get older, but these ladies are faithful servants. 

Luke 19:17  And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

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.

Written Testimony

March 30, 2015

SOS Events gets name, address, phone number, age and a testimony from the people who make decisions for Christ.

There is a question on the decision card that reads, What did JESUS do for you today when you prayed?

The quote is from a 12 year old, “He came into my heart today to live there and be my Savior.”

1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Churchyard Event

March 29, 2015

One of the most successful places to win people to the Lord is at an event held on church property. The two best time of year to hold a churchyard event is Easter time in the spring and Halloween in the fall.

The church provides for children an annual egg hunt and each year the crowds grow. Yesterday an “egg”stravaganza took place at a church near Brandon, Fl. 

It was an exciting event. Several church members came to SOS training and worked in the booth and Alice one of SOS missionaries went to oversee the event. 34 decisions were made, both children and adults.

The best thing about a churchyard event is that the converts are already on the property. They know where the church is, they have met church members who showed friendliness and they get an invitation to church. Also, they have filled out a decision card with name, address and age so the church has a record of their salvation and can visit the convert and family in their home.

If your church has events on the property and would like more information email info@sosevents.org or call the office at 813-494-7512.

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

New Opportunities

March 28, 2015

SOS Events has several new opportunities to expand the ministry in the USA. Gary, a man who looked at SOS website called and promised to visit 5 churches in his community in Kentucky with information about SOS Events ministry. He has a burden for the people of the area. Many churches have dwindled down to very small congregations that have no outreach in that area. With SOS Events the people come to you at community events. Pray for Gary as he contacts Pastors.

In the Saint Petersburg-Clearwater Florida area there is a large flea market that could be another opportunity to win many souls to Christ. Three churches have been contacted to get involved once a month at the Wagon Wheel Flea market. It only takes 3 people from each church to work three or four hours once a month. If you know of anyone in that area who may be interested please have them contact SOS Events.

Two more areas are in Ohio and Virginia. Two of our missionary couples will be traveling in the near future to present “3 Things God Cannot Do” to local churches in those areas. Pray CHRISTIANS in those churches will catch the vision fo the lost and participate with SOS in local events.

The harvest is truly ready but the laborers are few as the Bible says.

Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

God’s Word

March 27, 2015

“If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” (C.H. Spurgeon)

Many people from all over the world have an opportunity to study God’s word on SOS Events home page. If you have not used the Bible studies by Porter Barrington, do one today. Each one will give you knowledge and more understanding of God and the Bible.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11

Reason for Rejoicing

March 26, 2015

Rejoice! 18 more people will be in Heaven because God blesses faithful witnesses. Plant City Flea Market is bustling this time of year on Wednesday mornings. SOS Events volunteers are there just as the sun is coming up. Yesterday, eighteen people walked by the SOS booth, stopped, heard the gospel and trusted JESUS as their Savior.

There is rejoicing. The new converts are joyful, the soul winner is thrilled and even the Angels in Heaven rejoice also. God gives the increase. One sure cure for discouragement is to win someone to Christ.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Philippians 2:16
