But as we’ll see today on Abounding Grace the much better response is to reach out to help restore the individual! Now with that said a great amount of love needs to be behind the approach. Pastor Ed Taylor will help us with that as we pay another visit to Second Corinthians two.

I’m sure you can think of a time when someone said something really awful about you, behind your back, and it was untrue! Worse yet, people believed it, and before you know it, it was spread all over town. Sadly that sort of behavior has only gotten worse, with the advent of the internet. But how should we respond to that sort of thing? Do we lash out in anger or shutdown? Actually, there’s a much better way to go, and it’s modeled for us by the apostle Paul in Second Corinthians two. That’s where we join pastor Ed Taylor today on Abounding Grace.

Whether it’s at the office, in school, at home or even in church we’ll face opposition and tribulation. And that’s usually a sign we’re on the right track. The enemy opposes the work of the Lord, and so if we’re doing what God wants us to do we’ll be opposed at some point in time. So how do we persevere? That’s the question we’ll present today on Abounding Grace.

Pastor Ed Taylor will give attention to verses 13-52, where we find Paul’s first recorded sermon. Back in the first century there were those thoroughly convinced that the way to heaven was by observing the law. That sort of thinking is still around but nothing could be further from the truth! Paul wants to make it clear that justification is by turning and trusting. Turning from your sin and trusting in Jesus alone!
