Today we head over to First Kings chapter eight. If you’ll recall the Temple has just been completed, and now Solomon is dedicating it. We’re about to look at his public prayer in which he thanks God and looks back on the faithfulness of the Lord. Not a bad thing for us to do from time to time, wouldn’t you agree?

Have you ever had to confront someone who was clearly in the wrong? Few of us actually look forward to doing that, and many shy away from it. But it’s important to tell a person what they need to hear, especially when they’re living in sin! Even if it puts the relationship at risk. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor urges us to have a concern for holiness and a willingness to help others caught up in sin just as the apostle Paul does in First Corinthians five. Yes taking a stand for purity will be uncomfortable, but we need to realize it’s good for everyone!

Today on Abounding Grace we turn your attention to First Kings eight where the Temple is now completed, and about to be dedicated to God. Pastor Ed Taylor shows us now how this too testified of God’s faithfulness.

We’ve got a great study lined up for you, so find your place in First Kings seven. After years of planning and laboring Solomon and his crew are just about to finish the Temple. And we’ve learned that this building project has a lot to say about being faithful and reliable in our service of the Lord. But there’s also something to be said of heaven! You'll see, it’s picture or type of heaven. And we’re going to be encouraged to adopt a sense of urgency to bring as many to heaven with us as we can.

Pastor Ed Taylor has framed his talk around First Kings chapter six. Solomon is knee deep in a huge Temple building project that would take him seven years to complete. But right in the midst of it, God has something important to tell him. Pastor Ed will relate it to our daily walk.

Imagine if there was a guy in your church who was having sexual relations with his stepmother. On top of it all, the whole church knew what was going on, but did nothing about it. Scandalous, I’m sure you’d agree. That’s exactly what was going on in the church at Corinth. But before you start thinking we’re above that, pastor Ed Taylor will point out the same sort of tolerance of sin is going on today in many churches. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll open First Corinthians five and be encouraged to take a stand for purity.
