As you worship today, let us not go to church because it is a habit or something that is expected of us. Let us go to worship God in spirit and in truth. To many times we think of the music, what our friends are wearing, how long the service seems to be or many other distractions. Go with pure love and thankfulness to Jesus for all He has done for us.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
A new beginning of the work week for many people. Some love the thought of going to work, as it is pleasurable to them. Others are unhappy because they hate their job but have to work. Some are not working and would love to be able to go to work. Maybe illness, loss of job or circumstances keep them from working. Then there are vacations this time of year and this week is full of plans for family, fun and adventure. Whatever your day brings forth one thing to remember, this is the day that the Lord made, we are to be glad and rejoice in it.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
If you went to a fireworks display over the past week, I am sure you thought that they were beautiful. That is how we celebrate Independence Day in America. But there is a display that no man can duplicate. That is a sunset created by God. He provides awesome beauty everyday all over the world.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
SOS events is blessed to have two young ladies Mckenzie and Kiera working in the office this summer. Both the girls are 12 years old and have learned office skills, are having great fellowship together and also have learned to witness using the “3 Things God Can Not Do”. Mackenzie let her friend Sydney to the Lord over the phone and followed up with her by giving her a Bible and doing a Bible study. What a privilege for SOS events to have an influence on young girls lives.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Praise the Lord for the New Durham Chapel Event. 7 children, 1 teen and two adults made the decision to accept our Lord Jesus as their Personal Savior. Two children and one adult received the Assurance of Salvation promised in the Scriptures.
“The closer you are to the Son, the less likely you are to get burned.” Posted on a church sign.
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Today when we want to communicate via phone we have freedom to talk (or text) anywhere, anytime without having to be in one place to use the phone as this child in the picture. Prayer is like that. We do not have to be in a specific place only able to speak to God in church or at a designated time of day. God is always ready to hear our prayers directly without any person, place or thing. Jesus is the reason we have a direct line to God.
Luke 11:2 And (Jesus) he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Time to think about fun and soul winning. A great place to have an event is at the church where neighbors can come and meet church members, have fun and fellowship. Eastmont Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama had a Neighborhood Picnic last weekend and 4 people made decisions to follow Jesus. What a blessing. Now the church will follow up by sending notes and visiting. This is a great way to help your church to grow.
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.
