A fractured family or family in crisis that would describe a good number of homes today. It’s a rarity for kids to be living under the same roof as Mom and Dad, with divorce as common as it is. And maybe that’s something you can relate to! As we turn to Genesis chapter 30 today on Abounding Grace we’ll give attention to Jacob’s home life, and it’s a real mess. Pastor Ed Taylor will talk about that, but we’ll also observe God’s grace shining through it all! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Whether we’re serving in the nursery at church, or going on a short-term missions trip, or serving meals to the homeless, it’s a good idea to ask why are we doing it? Some do even good things, with the wrong motivations. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll hear why love should be the motivator, just as it was for Jacob in his pursuit of Rachel.

Do you enjoy a good love story? We’ve got a good one for you in Genesis chapter 29. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll take a look at Jacob’s love life. And it’s interesting to note the very large commitment that he displayed in order to marry Rachel. It’s a good reminder to us of the commitment needed to the Lord and our spouse, as we enter into a marriage. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Right now we’re in Genesis chapter 28, and for the next 8 chapters the focus will be on Jacob. Up until now we’ve seen Jacob up to no good, but God got a hold of his life.

We enter Genesis chapter 28 today and the focus is on Jacob. If you’ll recall, he had just deceived his father into receiving the blessing. Yes Jacob was a conniver, a heal catcher. But God would change his life, and he would be governed by God. We’ll hear all about this transformation which should encourage us all in light of our sin-stained past.

In Genesis chapter 27 we find a family in disarray. Their rebellion will make life very hard for them, and it all started with doing the right thing the wrong way! It would lead to a man being deceived by the people he trusted the most. And a son who is angry and bitter over what had happened. Let’s be encouraged to always do the right thing the right way as we join pastor Ed Taylor. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

We see examples all over the Bible that we can learn a great deal from. Some good and some bad! And in Genesis chapter 27 we receive some strong warnings through examples. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn that God’s will must be done God’s way. We’ll hear of a family that didn’t do that, and paid the price. If we’re wise we’ll learn from their example.

Pastor Ed is in First Corinthians twelve, and lately underscoring the manifestations of the spirit. Today it’s the word of knowledge that we’ll be talking about, and how God wants to use it in your life as you’re open and willing. In short it’s a piece of knowledge that comes from God. It could be to protect you, or something He wants you to share with someone. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

You may feel as though your family is a real mess or dysfunctional. That’s the story for many of us, and it certainly was the case for the family we’ll hear about today on Abounding Grace. This family fell apart, and it all started with deceit and favoritism. Pastor Ed Taylor opens Genesis chapter 27 today. The family I’m referring to is Isaac and Rebekah’s.
