We’re hoping SnyderBible.org will serve as a flexible and easy to navigate hub for information about Snyder Bible Church.

We’re not overly concerned with fancy new techno-widgets, we’re just hoping this new site will give the Snyder Bible Church family an easy way to stay up to date on what’s happening, and that the site will also be a treasure trove of resources.

and a Happy New Year!

Say “We wish you a merry Christmas!” three times and what do you think of? For most of us think of the next line of a favorite Christmas Carol, we hear it sung in the back of our minds as if it were coming from our own lips, the words “and a happy new year.” Our society has taken the wishes of the carolers to heart by trying to making this season the “most wonderful time of the year.” Only a week after Christmas each one greets one another with the words “happy new year!” and the week following that we forget our new year’s resolutions and go back to life as we know it. But parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors and spouses spend many hours and many more dollars working to make Christmas “merry” and the new years “happy.” Our society strives for these things and though this may be a good goal it is not all that this time of year can be. We can strive to not just make this a “happy new year” but a “holy new year.” Holy as used in the Scriptures simply means to be “set apart for a purpose.” Why not make 2012 a “holy new year” for ourselves and for our families? This coming year there are going to many memorable things happening from the Olympics, to the Presidential Campaign, to what many are calling the end of the world but wouldn’t it be far greater to make this the year within our own lives and within our families that the Lord really worked in and through us. And instead of 2012 being remembered for an athlete or a president or any conspiracy theory let us allow it to be remembered as the year in which the Lord really worked among us. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’” This verse was given to the people of Judah but carries to all who trust the Lord. Notice though there is nothing mentioned about happiness in the verse for the Lord is far more concerned about our holiness than our happiness. Let us make this New Year a “holy new year.”

Holidays

I recently saw a humorous drawing of a turkey pointing a wing at Santa Clause and telling him sternly “Wait your turn! This is my month!” I laughed and remembered how true this is, not that actual turkeys are getting on to Santa Clause, I would guess if turkeys could speak they would be fine with skipping Thanksgiving, but I remembered how easy it is to forget giving thanks.

Thanksgiving is truly one of my favorite holidays; it is simple and honorable to the core. A time to reflect and celebrate not a single event but life in general a time to stop and remember what is important. Sadly it is all too easy though to move from Halloween to Christmas without stopping to give thanks; and sadly it is even easier to go through day to day life without giving thanks. In times of trouble we often are drawn to the Lord, and that is good, that is a part of the reason why we face trials but after the trial is over we often times forget to return to the Lord and say “thank you.” In our busy day to day lives it is easy to go to bed each night not once stopping, for just a moment, to see the blessings around us and be thankful.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for family, food and football but I give greater thanks to the Lord for the reminder each year to live a life of thanksgiving, even if my team loses the football game. The turkey will be devoured, the game will come to an end and many of our relatives will go home but may a life of thanksgiving always be a part of us. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Because He Lives,

Joshua Elliott, October 2, 2011 Matthew 2

Pastor Josh opens with the “traitors” of renown and draws a lesson from Matthew chapter two. There are only two options when we stand before God, friend or foe.

Joshua Elliott, September 25, 2011, Matthew 1:18

Yes, there is a Sunday missing. It didn’t get recorded, but it was the opening message for a series in Matthew which explains his purpose for writing. The first message went through the genealogy of Christ as listed in chapter one of Matthew. We pick up from there with the story of the birth of Christ, the King of Kings.

Joshua Elliott, September 11, 2011 I Thess 5:12-28

The closing message in I Thessalonians from Paul has the final thoughts and good-byes. These are all of the “oh, and don’t forget” words he wanted to communicate and so we can’t forget either.
