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. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

Pastor Ed Taylor will be along shortly and continue our study in Second Corinthians. We left off in chapter eleven, at verse three. The apostle Paul is expressing his deep concern for the church in Corinth. They were dealing with deceivers, liars, and phonies. Savage wolves had come into the church and they were ripping them off, so Paul is going to tell it like it is.

Today we invite you to join us in Romans chapter eight, verse one, as we continue our series, “Free From Our Past.” When we become a Christian we’re no longer condemned.
