Abounding Grace

Whether we realize it or not, God is merciful to us and often protects us from harm! Maybe its seen in Him saving us from getting into a car accident, or preventing someone from maliciously hurting us. That’s the picture before us as we open First Samuel 23. Saul is hot on the heels of David, wanting to do him harm. But God wouldn’t allow it! Pastor Ed Taylor doesn’t want us to miss the two very powerful words in this chapter of David’s Life, “But God!” You’ll see how it relates to your life too, here on Abounding Grace.

As we turn back to 1 Samuel, if you’ll recall, David is on the run for his life. And today we’ll see the right response when in those seasons, and that is to seek the Lord! Pastor Ed will also pose and set out to answer the question, Why serve others and do good? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

On today’s program we reach Acts chapter four. Remember Peter has just given a God-inspired evangelistic sermon to a group of people who have observed a miraculous healing of a lame man. 5,000 people ended up giving their heart to God. One might expect that joy would abound, and everyone would be excited by the news. But that wasn’t the case. There was a group of religious leaders who were greatly disturbed by this as pastor Ed Taylor explains in his message, “Religion Hates the Gospel.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

Life is hard and full of impossibilities! If you’re not facing an impossibility today, you can be sure, it’s on the horizon. But it’s good to be reminded that God can do things that we can’t! He specializes in doing the impossible! And maybe that’s a message you need to hear today? Turn if you would to First Samuel 22, as we find God working behind the scenes!

We’ll be continuing our series in First Samuel. To bring you up to speed, David is on the run from King Saul, who is trying to kill him! And he finds himself in a cave! Pastor Ed is going to relate this to our cave-like experiences, and reveal how God often uses them to develop us into the person He wants us to be.

Can you look back on your life and see how God used very difficult circumstances to help you grow and develop? We’d prefer not to go through those cave-like experiences, but the truth is, it’s often how we grow into the person God wants us to be. Today on Abounding Grace we find the future King of Israel on the run and in a cave! Pastor Ed Taylor will make the connection to how God shapes and molds us through trials and tribulations.

Since we all fail from time to time, it becomes necessary for us to learn from those experiences, and respond appropriately after it happens. As we continue our study of First Samuel today on Abounding Grace, we find David in an embarrassing situation. Though he fails miserably, he learned from it, and God granted Him well over 40 years of ministry after the incident.

We’re asking and answering this question today, “What is repentance?” Is it really necessary? We learned last time that repentance is a change of mind, and a change of heart. But today we’ll take it a step further. It’s also a change of direction! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

It’s been well said that fear is the wrong use of our imagination. For when fear moves in bad decisions are sure to follow. Fear can get the better of us that’s for sure, so to have an awareness of it is huge. Today on Abounding Grace we come back to our study of First Samuel. At this particular time David is fleeing from Saul in fear. And his decisions are based in fear rather than the promises of God!
