THE TEMPTER TURNS OUR STRENGTHS AGAINST US!
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
As we begin our Lenten Journey this Sunday Pastor Jeff
will be preaching "If And When"
based on the Scriptures: St. Luke 4: 1 - 13; St. Mark 1: 12 - 13; St. Matthew 4: 1 - 11.
He will also share the Children's Moment.
We shall sing "Sweet Sweet Spirit"; "In The Garden";
"It Is Well With My Soul" plus other music selected for the Service.
 
I can identify with the following story because more than once as a father I failed to help our daughters. One night a well-known and highly respected preacher was working on his sermon for the following Sunday. His little son came in and asked his daddy to come and tuck him in. The father told him to get into bed and he would come in a few minutes and give him a goodnight kiss and tuck him in. But then, he became engrossed in his preparation, and much later, he remembered the promise.
 
He went into his son's bedroom only to discover that the little fellow was already asleep. That story is heart breaking because it has a familiar ring to it.
 
His passion to be a good preacher - a good thing - had tempted him that night to be a bad father. Do you see what happened? The tempter even turns our strengths against us if we are not careful!
 
May you find the strength you need this Sunday morning at Snyder's Church.
We welcome you in the name of Christ.
May you have a blessed day and may you also truly be a blessing to others.
Know that God loves you and so do we.
Here's hoping to greet you in Church this Sunday morning.
Pastor Bill
