Today on Abounding Grace Pastor Ed Taylor is going to talk about what the Bible has to say about death, and how it’s an enemy, but through the finished work of Jesus on the cross, He has overcome sin and death in our lives. With that in mind we can be confident that our last breath on earth, we’ll instantly be in the presence of God, if we’re a believer in Christ.

Should I really go see that movie? Can I have a glass of wine with dinner? You can probably think of a number of questions you wrestle with from time to time, similar to these. As believers, we know that we have an incredible amount of freedom. But, there are some things that while they may be permissible, have the potential to stumble a brother or sister in the Lord or even mislead an unbeliever! The apostle Paul said that all things are permissible, but not all things are helpful. Today on Abounding Grace we’re urged to keep our focus on the glory of God. And Pastor Ed Taylor will give us several questions we can ask as we walk through the grey areas of life.

Maybe you’ve experienced the death of a loved one recently, or are contemplating your own mortality? Be encouraged as you study along with Pastor Ed Taylor today in Second Kings twenty.

Wouldn’t you agree oftentimes when we’re in a time of need we run to the wrong place or people for help? But today on Abounding Grace we’ll be encouraged by a King who responded to a crisis the right way. He goes to the house of the Lord and also a man of God. That’s exactly what we should do too.

It’s common for the leaders of countries to negotiate even with countries they might look upon as threats or as an enemy. But when it comes to our great enemy Satan we need to come to realize there is to be no negotiations! If you do, you’ll lose every time. We'll unpack that together on Abounding Grace.

I’m sure you can identify some people in your life that are really good and godly examples. People who are following Christ and living to honor the Lord. Then there are also quite a number of people around us that are really bad examples. As we turn together to Second Kings eighteen we’ll notice that King Hezekiah followed a very good example, and Pastor Ed will encourage us to do the same.

The Lord has given the Christian a great amount of liberty but as we’re learning in First Corinthians we need to learn how to handle them in a God-glorifying way. Just as it was in the city of Corinth there are a good number of people today planting themselves way to close to sin and the world, all in the name of liberty. The problem is, overtime it becomes very easy to cross the line and before you know it you’re referring to sin as a liberty.

Today Pastor Ed Taylor will encourage us to live with a healthy fear of God. In your study of the Scriptures you’ve probably noticed the phrase The Fear of God, repeated quite often. As we’re about to see, fearing God will impact our lives and it’s essential in our walk with the Lord. Join Pastor Ed as he unfolds the blessings that flow into our lives as we’re truly fearing the Lord.

Today Pastor Ed Taylor will have us consider what it means to live with a healthy fear the Lord, and how this will impact our lives. You know many Scriptures emphatically call us to fear the Lord. Solomon, you may recall, summed up the entire book of Ecclesiastes by saying, Fear God and keep His commandments, that is the whole duty of man. So we’d do well to see what this involves, and get engaged in it ourselves. I think you’ll be encouraged and challenged by what Pastor Ed has to say today.
