Abounding Grace on Oneplace.com

In the Bible we have some wonderful examples on how to live and honor God, but there are also some examples on what not to do! And in the passage before us King Saul is trying to do things his own way, attempting to fight the flesh with the flesh. And that never goes well! Pastor Ed is going to take this opportunity to encourage us to do the right thing, the right way, with the right motive!

Pastor Ed Taylor will continue making his way through First Samuel. Perhaps, like the man we’ll meet today, you’re really not at a good place. The good news that we’ll bring before you today is God specializes in turning a mess into a success… for His glory. He loves to give second chances. And King Saul is about to receive one, here in chapter fifteen.

From great potential to great disaster! That in a nutshell is the story of King Saul, and very sadly it’s a story that’s been repeated through the ages. We hope and pray today’s message from pastor Ed Taylor will encourage you in a much different direction… and that is a life that is lived for the glory of God, rather than the flesh. We’re watching the downfall of a man and King as we open 1st Samuel chapter fourteen here on Abounding Grace.

Pastor Ed Taylor is teaching from the book of First Samuel right now. Find your place in chapter fourteen. Lately we’ve been observing the life of Saul, and it’s not a pretty picture. And things go from bad to worse as we look at this chapter of his life. We could sum it up by describing him as a fleshly, carnal man! Not something you want to be known for, so let’s see what we can learn from it.

Wouldn’t you like to come to the end of your life, with no regrets? Where you wouldn’t be saying, I should have or I wonder what could have been? Today on Abounding Grace we’ll focus on four words that really describe King Saul’s life: The Lord Would Have! Pastor Ed Taylor says that doesn’t have to be your story if you’ll learn from Saul’s mistakes.

We're in Acts chapter three once again. Some may view what we’re about to study as an interruption, but could it be a divine appointment? You can be sure God is in control of our lives, and leading us, just as He was for Peter and John at this particular time!

Don’t you hate it when someone takes credit for something they really didn’t do? Whether it’s on the job, in the church, or in the home, it leaves a bad taste in our mouth. God doesn’t look highly on that sort of behavior either, and today on Abounding Grace that’s exactly what King Saul is about to do. We’ve reached chapter thirteen in our verse by verse study of First Samuel. As Saul is about to take credit for something his son actually did, pastor Ed Taylor will encourage us to cultivate humility in our lives!

We’ll join pastor Ed in First Samuel chapter 12. It’s a transition time in the leadership of Israel, as Samuel is about to humbly step down, and Saul is handed the leadership of the nation. And pastor Ed doesn’t want us to miss Samuel’s attitude and approach here at the latter part of his life and ministry. We’ll point out his humility and integrity, and allow this to inspire you to live in a similar way.

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of a series of studies based in First Samuel. Today we’re going to draw your attention to the difference between effective and ineffective leadership in the church. Maybe God has you in a place of leadership, or you believe He’s calling you to that? What should your attitude be, and what’s the right way to lead? Let’s see what First Samuel chapter eleven has to say about that.
