You could probably go on for days reciting all of your past failures and mistakes. And the enemy would love to use that to keep you down and discouraged. But as we’ll learn today on Abounding Grace, the Lord wants to release you from that burden and help you rise above. God not only has the grace to cover those sins, but lead you to a victorious life as an overcomer. We’ll hear a great example of this as we join pastor Ed Taylor in First Kings chapter nine.

The great lie in our culture today is that sex outside of marriage is perfectly fine. In fact people are made to feel comfortable in that sin, even in the church. But God loves us so much that He tells us the truth no matter how hard it may be to hear. His will is that none would perish, but that all would have eternal life. We’ll soon see that sexual sin is a serious matter and needs to be avoided. Today on Abounding Grace we’re pausing to consider a serious warning in First Corinthians six. Many people today are led to believe they can live like the world and still go to heaven. But a lifestyle of sin is an indicator of something terribly wrong.

Someone has wisely observed that anger is just one letter removed from danger, and that should remind us that when we’re angry, we’re treading on dangerous ground! Pastor Ed points out in today’s study how anger very often is holding us back from freedom from our past.

We’re developing a series called, Free from our Past, here on Abounding Grace with pastor Ed Taylor. We learned last time that a key to a fruitful life is abiding in Jesus. Apart from the Lord we can do nothing. And so we should learn to live moment by moment in dependence upon God. Today we’ll make the connection between this abiding life and breaking free from our past.
