Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25
Now that all the festivities of Christmas and New Years are over it is time to get back to a regular routine.
The best way to start that routine every week is to be in church.
Many people for whatever reason have stopped going to church. They may watch it online or TV but to actually go seems to hard or to difficult.
Why is it important to go? God tells us to go in His Word. We need the spiritual strength of one another. In time of trouble we have no one to turn to if we do not have a Pastor that cares about us.
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Little things. Are you concerned about little things? Maybe it is something you have misplaced and it is really bothering you.
Wondering what to wear or worried about a conversation you are going to have with a loved one or friend. All these daily little things that get in the way of the important things.
Worry is a sin. The Bible tells us to cast our care upon the Lord. Does He care about the little things? Yes. Nothing is too small for Him to help you with, pray about everything.
The Group of ladies that come and work once a month to make sue the “Life Saving News” newsletter gets in the mail, met on the first Thursday in January. They are SOS Events Senior Servants.
SOS EVents Ministry is so blessed to have faithful volunteers who help in every area of the ministry. Some come to Senior Servants, many go to events to witness in person, a few volunteer to make the displays or work on the property. Everyone who prays, contribute and volunteers are greatly needed and appreciated.
There is room for you to volunteer. The goal of SOS Events is to have teams in every State of the USA and beyond. Will you help to meet the goal?
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23
God is so good! The first Wednesday Flea Market in Plant City, Fl had 14 decisions to follow Jesus as their Savior.
SOS Events Ministry has been going to this Flea Market every week for many years. You may think that people would not respond to the Gospel after the same message is given week after week, often by the same volunteers.
However, God is faithful and blesses His Word every time it is given. Thank you, Lord for a great start to the New Year.
It is also a reminder to not be weary in the Lord’s work. It is a New Year, new beginnings and new opportunities to win new people to the Lord!
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
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:
For many of us here in the ISA today is the day that the Holidays are officially over. It’s back to work, back to school and our routine of daily life is back to normal.
How are you doing? Feeling let down, depressed or are you rejoicing that you are back on track? We have various emotions as we settle into our regular routine. Whatever you may face today there is a constant that never changes. That is the love and mercy of God.
Keep in mind that He goes with you throughout the day, wherever you go or whatever you have to do. Jesus loves you and will help you In whatever circumstance you find yourself today.
So rejoice in the day. This is the day that the Lord has made.
Five questions to ask yourself when studying God’s Word from Pastor Jonathan Watson in Appomattox, VA:
“Simple questions I try to ask myself every time I study God’s Word.”
– Is there a sin I need to confess?
– Is there a promise I can claim?
– Is there an attitude I need to change?
– Is there a command I need to obey?
– Is there an example I can follow?
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
2022 was a year for recovery for everyone all over the world. Some are still struggling from illness, natural disasters and personal problems. Let us put the past year behind and look forward to a better New Year in 2023!
We can accomplish this in our personal lives by trusting in Jesus and God’s promises.
Isaiah 43:18&19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Many people will be celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight drinking, going to parties, etc., only to start the New Year with a headache and hangover. We can start our New Year with a clean heart.
Christians take time this evening to pray for forgiveness for the unconfessed sins that we have committed. If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior there is no better way to start a new year than becoming a new person in Christ. Happy New Year. May 2023 bring you and your loved ones peace and joy that only the Lord can give.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
2022 is almost over. Just a few more days to reflect on this past year. Every year has both joy and sorrow. Maybe this year there was a new birth in your family, or you had a promotion on your job or moved into a new house. Think of the joy that you had this past year. Then there may have been sorrow, a death in the family that has left a huge hole in your heart, or maybe you lost your job or your house is foreclosed. Contrasts in life is a normal thing for man. The good news is that there is a new year coming that is like a blank canvas. God will bring some blessings and He may allow some sorrow, but it is always exciting to look forward to the new year and know that God will direct our path if we trust Him. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
