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.

Pastor Ed Taylor is currently developing his study of the Old Testament book of 1st Samuel, where we’re drawing rich application for our lives. Today we’ll return to a story probably familiar to most of you. When God was looking for the second king of Israel, a 16 year old shepherd boy caught His eye. Most in that day I’m sure thought this was a poor choice, but God saw a young man who was after His own heart. We'll relate this to God’s anointing on our own lives and ministry!

Too many today, and in increasing numbers. live separated and isolated lives. It makes for a small and lonely world. And it’s so unnecessary and unwise! That comes to our attention today on Abounding Grace with pastor Ed Taylor. In Romans chapter sixteen we will hear of the blessing of worshipping and serving together as a church family.

It doesn’t take long for the Christian to come to the realization that God’s plans for us don’t always make sense. God works in ways that we often don’t and won’t understand, and when that takes place, we need to adjust our perspective, values, or timetable to fit His. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor will show us how to do that. We are traveling through 1st Samuel at the present time, and here on our Friday edition we’ll be looking at chapter sixteen. It’s here that the Lord anoints David to be King over Israel. This was a move that certainly didn’t make a great deal of sense in that day and age.

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 a series in First Samuel today. 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 fourteen here on Abounding Grace.
