Abounding Grace

Acts chapter two records the day of Pentecost. But pastor Ed is quick to point out that many totally miss the point of this passage, thinking it’s just about the gift of tongues. The emphasis is really on God and how He keeps His promises. He’s faithful and reliable in every way in our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Pastor Ed Taylor will continue our series, Be the Church! Open that Bible of yours to Acts chapter two. We plan on being here in this chapter for quite some time as there is so much for us to unpack and apply. If you’ll recall last time we were together the disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father. Here in chapter two, that promise arrives!

We all face decisions or situations, big and small, every day! But do you try to figure it out on your own? A much better way to go is to look to the Lord in prayer, and wait upon God. Today we’ll join pastor Ed in Acts chapter one, where a case could be made that Peter is getting ahead of the Lord. Instead of waiting, like God instructed him to do, he’s acting and putting limitations on God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Some might be tempted to think we’re opening a can of worms today on Abounding Grace, as we enter into a talk about the gifts and manifestations of tongues and its interpretation. But really we’re just opening the Bible. Pastor Ed Taylor will help us arrive at a biblical understanding of these two manifestations that are often avoided, misunderstood, and even misused.

Pastor Ed Taylor is about to open Acts chapter one. And at this particular point in time Judas needs to be replaced, but the disciples were told to wait! Pastor Ed believes on this occasion Peter gets ahead of the Lord and places limitations upon the Lord that he shouldn’t have. Something we’re all prone to do at various times. But as we’ll discover, sometimes God works outside of our expectations. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Today we turn to the book of Acts and learn a thing or two about waiting on the Lord. We learned last time that our eyes need to remain on Jesus at such times and we need to remember Christ is coming back. Join pastor Ed Taylor for more about how we’re to wait on the Lord.

Tongues and the interpretation of tongues, there’s quite a bit of confusion and controversy surrounding these two manifestations of the Spirit. And we hope to clear some of that up today on Abounding Grace, as pastor Ed Taylor returns to his series in First Corinthians. If you’ve been in the church for quite some time, you’re probably familiar with some of the controversy. In one camp you have those that claim these sign gifts have ceased. And then there are others who would tell you you’re really not saved or spiritual if you don’t speak in tongues. Pastor Ed believes both of these extremes are to be avoided, and now helps us arrive at a biblical understanding. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
