Gabriel, Messenger from God

December 11, 2015

Luke 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

Only two angels are mentioned by name in the New Testament. Gabriel and Michael. Gabriel was an archangel who was a messenger sent by God to deliver news to Zacariah and then later to Mary.

Gabriel is also mentioned in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Angels had an important role in the birth of the Lord Jesus. Their presence brought fear into the hearts of the people they appeared to according to scripture.

We tend to forget that people like Zacariah, Mary and Joseph were just ordinary people that God used in extraordinary circumstances. If Gabriel appeared to us today we too would be afraid.

As Christians we can look forward to the time when we will see angels in Heaven. What a wonderful future we have and there will be no fear, only wonder and beauty as we behold Heaven and meet Jesus face to face.

Death, a New Beginning 

November 3, 2015

Please pray for Lee, Alice and their family for comfort as his mother, Doris Thomas,  went to be with the Lord on November 1st. (Alice is a valuable team member with SOS Events. She will be out of the office this week and also missed at the Wednesday Flea Market.)

We are so thankful for God’s promises in the Bible. It is great to know that one day we will be with our loved ones in heaven if they have trusted Jesus as their Savior. Death is not the end, it is just the beginning.

Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Home

October 29, 2015

HOME. What a wonderful word. Tom Curtis spent 12 days in the hospital after major surgery and his focus was on getting strong enough to come home. He worked diligently to be able to be released to come home. Then the joyful moment when he stepped in the door. He was able to eat what he wanted, sleep without being interrupted and just relax. What a blessing from the Lord. (He won 2 people to the Lord in the hospital as well as prayed with several nurses and caregivers)

Our focus as Christians should be that we are working diligently to get ready to go to our eternal home, Heaven. Our works do not save us but we want to be able to have the Savior meet us and say well done. That will be a joyful moment when we step into Heaven and all the trials of this earth will be gone and only blessing will be there.

Matthew 25:21    His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

How is Your Heart?

October 26, 2015

Church sign: The only way to Heaven is through your heart.

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

Blessed Reunion

October 11, 2015

When a family gets together, particularly after a long separation, it is a great blessing. Every family member is different but brought together with a bond of love.

If reunions are a blessing here, think of the wonderful day we will all be together in Heaven. Not only with our earthly family (if they are saved) but with our Chistian brothers and sisters from all walks of life, different denominations and ethnic groups. “What a day of rejoicing that will be.”

Ephesians 1:3-6: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Heaven is Home

August 15, 2015

Coming home from a long trip is a great joy. The thought is going through my mind, I will soon be there and the excitement grows, around the next turn and I’m almost there. The first look at the yard, it’s beautiful. Going in the front door, a wonderful peace comes over me and the best thing of all my true love is there welcoming me with open arms. This is an example of an earthly homecoming.

But wait, we have an even more joyous homecoming, Heaven! We will soon be there, excitement grows,in a short time we will be there. What will be the first thing we see? Beauty. Peace. The best thing of all we will see our true love The Lord Jesus, waiting for us with open arms. 

Is He your true love? Are you looking for the time when you will be going “Home”? 

Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

  

Trust

August 12, 2015

While sitting in an airport waiting to board a plane, the thoughts go to trust. We trust that the plane will get us to our destination safely.

SOS Events “3  Things God Can Not Do” tract gives a choice of which plane we would get on. Three planes, one is 50%, one is 75% or the third is 100% sure we will get to our destination, which would you choose?

Going to heaven is a choice, also. If you are not 100% sure you are going to Heaven go to the home page scroll down and follow the directions. 

It is a matter of trust. Trusting the Lord Jesus to save you is the answer. 

Psalms 37:40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Billy Graham Quote on Heaven

July 11, 2015

“I [will] not go to heaven because I am a preacher. I am going to heaven entirely on the merit of the work of Christ.”Billy Graham
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

What You Need to Know to Get to Heaven

March 7, 2015

“We should remember that people can go to Heaven without knowing much of the Word of God, but they cannot go to Heaven without knowing Jesus Christ as Savior.”
Lee Roberson
SOS Events ministry uses few verses to led a person to JESUS Christ and those people walk away from the SOS booth SAVED. Only 6 verses in the Bible can change a person’s life for all eternity.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
