Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn what happens when a person sins and then repents! God forgives them, and so should we. Pastor Ed Taylor encourages us in that direction through today’s message based on Second Corinthians chapter two. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

When we know of a person that’s living in sin, it’s tempting to just look the other way and think it’s none of our business! But as we’ll see today on Abounding Grace the much better response is to reach out to help restore the individual! Now with that said a great amount of love needs to be behind the approach. Pastor Ed Taylor will help us with that as we pay another visit to Second Corinthians chapter two. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

When it comes to giving, many pastors won’t touch the subject with a ten foot pole. That’s because many people get agitated or bothered when money is mentioned in the church, or due to negative experiences in the past. But Jesus had no problem talking about it. In fact, he addressed money and stewardship in 16 of his parables. Today on Abounding Grace we’re certainly not going to shy away from it as we go verse by verse through Second Corinthians. Chapter nine offers great principles for giving like how we should give and how much. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

I’m sure you can think of a time when someone said something really awful about you, behind your back, and it was untrue! Worse yet, people believed it, and before you know it, it was spread all over town. Sadly that sort of behavior has only gotten worse, with the advent of the internet. But how should we respond to that sort of thing? Do we lash out in anger or shutdown? Actually, there’s a much better way to go, and it’s modeled for us by the apostle Paul in Second Corinthians chapter two.

I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been misunderstood and had someone falsely accuse us of something. Worse yet is when people believe it, without even talking to you! Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see that this even happened to the apostle Paul. And how he dealt with it will provide helpful guidance for the next time it happens to us.

Maybe you’ve had some things that were said about you that were just not right or fair. Whether it’s in the form of gossip or slander, it can be downright hurtful. But you’re in good company, because the apostle Paul and even Jesus faced false accusations and criticism. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor will point to one such occasion in Paul’s life. And we’ll hear him answer a couple of the charges. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Today we continue a series in Second Corinthians. In First Peter 4:12 we read “Beloved do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings.” We’re to expect suffering as we go through life, and as we’ll discover today God wants to be our comforter through it all.

The life of a Christian is sure exciting! But that doesn’t mean there won’t be suffering. Even in the suffering God is faithful to provide comfort and to use the Christian’s experience to strengthen us and be a blessing to others. And today on Abounding Grace we’ll see this shining through as we continue a series in Second Corinthians. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

We’ve decided to present a mini-series on giving, as we’re in Second Corinthians chapters eight and nine, which is the emphasis of this section of Scripture. When it comes to giving God is more concerned with our heart than the amount. Remember the poor widow who gave two mites? Though that gift may not have caught the attention of people, it sure caught the Lord’s attention in a good way! So then what is the key to giving that pleases God? Pastor Ed suggests looking to Jesus as the supreme example. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
