Certain skeptics find the miracles in the Bible hard to believe. From Noah and the flood, to Jonah and the Big Fish... and how is it possible for a woman to bear a child at 90 years of age they ask? But they fail to realize that God is able to do anything He wants to do in His time. We’ll focus on God’s faithfulness and ability here today on Abounding Grace as our study of Genesis continues with pastor Ed Taylor.

As we look back over the course of our lives we can see peaks and valleys, successes and failures. That holds true even with some of the people in the Bible we’ve grown to admire like Abram. Last time on Abounding Grace we observed Abram make a very bad decision. And now we fast forward 13 years and we’ll see God’s overruling power in his life. God is going to change Abram’s name, because He wants him to walk in a new identity. And pastor Ed Taylor will show us how we too are to walk in our new identity in Christ right now as we turn to Genesis chapter 17.

You might not find it so difficult to trust God when times are good, but how about when you’re waiting on God or times are tough? And your expectations aren’t met? Will you trust God then? Today on Abounding Grace we find Abram and Sarai in the waiting room. While they should have been trusting in God, they tried to help God out.

Whether it’s in the doctor’s office or in traffic, we typically don’t like to wait! We grow impatient if we have to wait for something for 10 minutes, but imagine having to wait for something for many years! Today we turn to the story of Abram and Sarai waiting for their promised son to arrive. After waiting for quite some time they decide to take matters into their own hands! Big mistake.

Ask 10 people on the street who is the Holy Spirit, and you might get 10 very different answers. And many are under the impression that He’s just some inanimate force out there. But today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn the truth about the Holy Spirit, and who He really is. He’s a person, has a will and emotions, speaks and empowers the believer for starters.

We’ll join Ed Taylor in First Samuel 12 today. It’s a transition time in the leadership of Israel, as Samuel is about to humbly step down, and Saul is handed the leadership of the nation. And Pastor Ed doesn’t want us to miss Samuel’s attitude and approach here at the latter part of his life and ministry. We’ll recognize his humility and integrity, and allow this to inspire you to live in a similar way. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of a series of studies based in First Samuel. Today we’re going to draw your attention to the difference between effective and ineffective leadership in the church. Maybe God has you in a place of leadership, or you believe He’s calling you to that? What should your attitude be, and what’s the right way to lead? See what First Samuel eleven has to say about that. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

C. S. Lewis famously said, If you aim at earth, you’ll miss heaven, but if you aim at heaven, you’ll get heaven and earth too. So, we must be careful to aim in the right direction. And make sure we have the right purpose in life. Today’s Abounding Grace with pastor Ed Taylor will help us with that.

Samuel had been a faithful judge over Israel, and God had been nothing but good to His people. But the people of Israel lost sight of that, and cried out for a King. They rejected Samuel and the Lord without a legitimate reason, and in doing so were going to pay the price. In First Samuel eleven pastor Ed Taylor observes a powerful move of the Holy Spirit, as good compassionate leadership helped to turn things around.
