1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

August 16, 2017The definition of happy in Webster’s Dictionary: feeling pleasure and enjoyment because of your life, situation, etc. Happiness depends on what is happening around you, so if the situation changes it can be lost.

Home Sweet Home
August 9, 2017Have you ever been away from home for awhile. Vacation, business trip or travel. Then it is time to go “home”. What great anticipation. You may live in a mansion or a small cottage, but whatever the property it is still home. As Christians we should have the same love and anticipation for our heavenly home, Heaven. Waiting for us there is Jesus, our loved ones who have gone on before us, and wonders we cannot even imagine. Jesus said:
John 14:2-3 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Take Down A Wall
July 13, 2017Can a problem ever be good? Yes, when The space you have is too small for workers at SOS Events ministry. Our faithful Senior Servants come once a month to help us get out our newsletter. The group gets larger every month for which we are very thankful. The solution is to take down a wall to enlarge the space. It reminds me that sometimes we have a wall in our heart that may keep blessings out of our lives. It may be a relationship with a family member or friend. It may be some sin that is keeping us from our fellowship with God. If you have put up a wall that needs to be torn down, do it. You will be amazed that your problem has turned into a blessing.
Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Be A Blessing
June 21, 2017There is an old chorus “Make Me A Blessing”. When you are a blessing to others by a phone call, text message, email, note or visit, you will find that not only do you give a blessing but you are the one who has been greatly blessed. The most wonderful blessing you can give anyone is to lead that person to Jesus.
Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
1
Out in the highways and byways of life,
Many are weary and sad;
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.
Refrain
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.
2
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,
Tell of His pow’r to forgive;
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True, every moment you live.
3
Give as ’twas given to you in your need,
Love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed,
Unto your mission be true.

God Answers Prayer
February 28, 2017God answers prayer. When you pray do you expect God to answer? Have you been obedient to His word? Do you take time with Him daily?
God loves you if you are born again into His family, He will answer. We love to give gifts to our children. He loves to give to us, as long as we pray in His will. When the answer comes give Him the Praise and Glory.
If you have something that you would like the staff of SOS Events staff to pray for send the request to info@sosevents.org and we will pray for you.
