Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of his series, “Be the Church.” A study in Acts. In chapter three Peter is sharing the gospel, and he tells his audience to repent and be converted. Pastor Ed will take some time today to talk about repentance. The Bible has a lot to say about it, but not everyone really understands what it’s all about.

You can be sure, both inside and outside the church, we’ll have an occasional spear thrown in our direction. It may be in the form of a false accusation, an unkind word, or someone stabbing you in the back! But what’s the right response, should that happen to you? Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see what that is, as Saul throws a spear in David’s direction. David handled it extremely well. It will serve to help us deal with hurt in a Christ-like fashion. Pastor Ed Taylor is in First Samuel chapter eighteen starting with verse fifteen.

Pastor Ed is about to continue his verse by verse study in the book of 1st Samuel and we’ll consider the value of godly friends. If asked to name one of the all time great friendships in the Bible, what names come to mind? I’d venture to say many of you would say Jonathan and David, and rightly so. Let’s take a closer look at these friends in 1 Samuel chapter eighteen.

Maybe you’re one of the many who are attracted to those of the same sex, and wonder if you were born this way. Is it a sin to get involved in a homosexual relationship? The world will tell you it’s fine and perfectly acceptable. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll take you to the Word for answers. After all, the Bible should guide our lives and behavior, not the culture. We realize this is a very sensitive issue for many, and our intention is not to beat you over the head with the Bible, but rather lovingly explain what God has to say and help you in whatever way we can.

As we continue through First Samuel, we’re going to pause to address a very relevant issue, springing from First Samuel 18. Some have looked at David and Jonathan’s relationship and drawn the conclusion that they were homosexuals. And thus God approves of it. But is that a fair and accurate rendering of the text? Today pastor Ed Taylor will set the record straight. Not based on his own feelings on the matter, or the cultural norms, but rather on the authoritative Word of God.

When you’re faced with a spiritual battle, you can go in one of two directions. You can try to fight it in your own strength, or rely on the strength and sufficiency of God realizing it’s His battle not yours! Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn a valuable lesson from David’s experience with a big Giant! He prevailed in the fight, not because of his might, but rather in realizing the battle belonged to the Lord.

You preach a sermon that’s well received and people are lined up to tell you how great it was, or you’re involved in a ministry at church that’s flourishing… do you take the credit for what’s happened or give all the glory to God? When we’ve been greatly used by God, we want to be careful to give all the glory to the Lord just as Peter and John did in Acts three. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see that right after a mighty miracle there were people wanting to give the glory to the apostles. How did they handle this? And how should we handle that sort of thing? Let’s find out.
