When we don’t, the people that follow us will suffer. That’s one of the takeaway lessons from First Kings 15 that we’ll bring to the table today on Abounding Grace.

Whatever side of the political spectrum you land upon, I’m sure you’d agree that over the course of our nation’s history we’ve seen both good leaders and bad! Some stood for righteousness, and others far from it. We see the same pattern in the history of Israel and Judah. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor will point out how people really suffer with poor leadership. That’s true back in the days of the Kings, just as it is today. We’re in First Kings fourteen.

Many conflicts and disagreements in marriage center around sexual intimacy but God doesn’t want that to be the case. And so He addresses this very issue in First Corinthians seven. Pastor Ed Taylor is about to look at this very practical passage and show us how we can glorify God in marriage and specifically through sexual intimacy. We’ll also be reminded of God’s definition of marriage here on this our weekend edition of Abounding Grace.

We’ll be in First Kings fourteen today. At this point in time, the nation is divided and not in a good place. We’ll be introduced to two Kings, Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Both had their problems, and it could be traced back to their idolatry and turning their backs on God. It can easily happen to us, so let’s see where things went wrong.

Today we open our Bibles to First Kings thirteen. Jeroboam is King at this particular time, and the Lord is about to send a man of God to him with an important message. In short, he doesn’t receive it or change his ways. And pastor Ed wants to relate this to our lives, so the next time God comes to you with a message you’ll know what to do!

Maybe you’re single today, and made to feel almost like a second class citizen! You’re bombarded with questions like, Why aren’t you married yet? It’s important for you to know that God says it’s perfectly fine to be single. With that said, it’s also ok to be married. There’s a lot of confusion in this area, and First Corinthians seven provides some much needed truth on the subject.

As we dive deep into the doctrine of God’s Predestination today on Abounding Grace, some might be thinking we’re opening a can of worms. But in reality we’re just opening the Bible. When rightly understood it’s a precious doctrine to be embraced and it’s really encouraging too. As we continue through First Kings with pastor Ed Taylor he helps us arrive at a biblical balanced position of God’s Predestination and Man’s Free Will.
