Zack Godwin, SOS Events Leader on the Alabama team went home to be with the Lord on Monday evening.
He was a wonderful husband, father and friend. Zack will be missed by all who knew him. His family will appreciate prayers at this time.
The one thing we can be sure of is that we will see him again. Jesus gave us the assurance of eternal life through his death on the cross. One day we will be reunited with our loved ones who have trusted Jesus as their Savior.
John 11:25 – Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
It wasn’t until about the nineteenth century that we find Christianity absorbing the bright, cheery symbolism of the Christmas tree. The Christians had long held the fir as a symbol of the Tree of Life.
Early Christians knew their symbolism well, as they added candles and apples to their Christmas firs. These candles represented the light of Christ. The apples symbolized knowledge which spawned man’s original sin according to Christian belief.
Here we see the light of Christ forgiving the “fall of man” within the symbol of the Christmas tree.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The wreath has significant meaning for the season. It’s circular shape represents eternity, for it has no beginning and no end.
For a Christian, it represents an unending circle of life. The evergreen, most frequently used in making wreathes, symbolizes growth and everlasting life.
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. John 10:28-30

This is one of the most memorized and recognized verses in the Bible. Jesus did come for everyone in the world but you must realize that He died for you personally and then believe in His death, burial and resurrection. Only those who trust in Jesus as their Savior will have everlasting life.
Thanksgiving is less than a week away and it is a good time to think about how wonderful God has been in our lives. Everyday through Thanksgiving we will focus on one of His special blessings.
The greatest thing we can give God thanks for is sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross that we can have eternal life. Thank you Father for your wonderful love.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Newly weds saved at Strawberry Festival. This couple were so happy to know for sure they are going to Heaven. To start out married life with their new life in Christ is the best wedding gift they have gotten.
The gift of eternal life lasts for all eternity.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The staff of SOS wishes everyone a Happy Easter. May you all be blessed with the assurance of Heaven because Jesus came into the world to die for our sins. Romans 10:9 says, “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” This is a promise God gave us in His Word, the Bible and He can not lie. We can know we have eternal life.
