Abounding Grace on Oneplace.com

Don’t you love it when God shows up in a huge way in your life. It’s a real boost to our faith and such an encouragement. We’re about to see that in First Kings eighteen. The scene is Mount Carmel. 450 prophets of Baal have gathered along with Elijah, for a showdown. Who is the real God? The Lord left no doubt in anyone’s mind that day, and He would demonstrate His power in a very unique way that people would be talking about for years to come.

We're in First Kings chapter eighteen today. The people of that day were faltering between two opinions. On the one hand worshipping God and on the other bowing at the alters of Baal and Asherah. It’s really reminiscent of the countless people today who are trying to live in two worlds, going back and forth between the two.

As you may know Satan is called, The accuser of the brethren. He’ll even use the people around us to accomplish his agenda. At various times we may be accused of something and you’re really taken aback by it, or even wondering what’s going on! Today on Abounding Grace wicked King Ahab calls Elijah, You troubler of Israel. The reality of the matter is, God was using him as a troubler of Ahab, and for good reason. Pastor Ed Taylor will relate this to what you may be going through, or will in the future. We’re in First Kings eighteen.

When you go to the doctor and he or she tells you, there’s a serious problem with you, you might be tempted to tell them to give you some pain killers so you can be on your way. But while that may give you some temporary relief, it’s really not addressing the root issue is it? Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn that the same holds true in our spiritual lives.

It really is sad to see how lightly marriage is taken these days. The divorce rate, the laws that are in place, and even the living together prior to marriage just goes to show how far we’ve declined as a society. But God sees marriage entirely different, and He wants us to value and esteem marriage as highly as He does. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see marriage and divorce from God’s perspective.

We’ve got a great study lined up for you from First Kings seventeen today. To bring you up to speed, tragedy has just struck the home of a dear widow. Her son has died, and we’re told that Elijah stretched himself onto the child three times, praying to God. Well the Lord heard and answered, and the boy would be raised to life. Pastor Ed Taylor has observed a few lessons from this miraculous story that we can apply to our prayer lives.

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of a series of studies in First Kings, and we’re spending a little extra time looking at Elijah’s life and ministry for good reason. There’s a lot here to take in and apply. When tragedy strikes, like the loss of a loved one, questions tend to surface like Why! And we find that very question here in the story before us. A widow’s son has become sick and dies. And Elijah takes this time to cry out to God in prayer. Let’s be encouraged to keep praying no matter what.

Find your place in First Kings seventeen as we get ready for another helpful study on the life of Elijah. Picture the scene, there’s a widow in deep distress, with no family and no help. There’s a drought in the land, and she’s desperate. Then along comes Elijah, and he asks her to give what to her must of felt like everything. She does, and God would bless her as a result. Through this we get a great picture of generosity. Let’s see how we too can be generous givers to the Lord.

We’re getting to know Elijah today and if you’ll recall God has just used him in a huge way, standing before Ahab delivering a tough message. But now we find him in a much different setting, beside a brook receiving food from ravens. On the surface you might think of this as a worthless time of life, but in actuality God is using it to prepare him for what’s ahead.

Aren’t you glad there are people in the Bible that we can identify with and relate to? Just ordinary men and women, but God used them in tremendous ways.

Today pastor Ed Taylor will open up First Kings seventeen and draw attention to a few things in Elijah’s life story that we can learn a great deal from.
