Abounding Grace

Today we return to pastor Ed Taylor’s series in Acts called, “Be the Church.” When you came to Christ, were you under the impression it would be easy peasy? It probably didn’t take you long to realize it’s full of warfare, trials, challenges and persecution! It requires commitment. And pastor Ed will seek to drive that home in today’s message based in Acts chapter two. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

It’s been well said that there must be conviction before there can be conversion. It’s like the person who is seriously ill and if he doesn’t believe he’s is danger he won’t accept the diagnosis and take the necessary treatment. Spiritually speaking if the symptoms of our condition persist it’s mercy designed to push us toward treatment and healing. Find your place in First Samuel chapter six as we bring you Abounding Grace.

We have a tendency to pass the problem on to somebody else rather than deal with it ourselves. But God in His goodness has a way of bringing us to a place where we can no longer “Kick the can down the road.” We give you a case in point on today’s Abounding Grace. When the Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant - God did something about it – and there are quite a few noteworthy lessons we don’t want you to miss.

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of a study in First Samuel and we’ll join him in chapter five. At the end of First John, we read, “Dear children keep yourselves from idols.” That may seem like an odd way to end a letter, but no doubt the Lord wanted to emphasize the importance of steering clear of this sort of thing. Idolatry has been an issue through the ages, and certainly not just a thing of the past. And we’ll be reminded today that God is above all of the fake gods. The Philistines needed to understand this, and we do too! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

As believers in Christ we long to be apart of a healthy church, but that doesn’t mean it will be perfect! We’ll make mistakes. Today on Abounding Grace we continue pastor Ed Taylor’s series in Acts. And right now in chapter two we’re noticing a church that’s Well is one that’s worshipping, evangelistic, learning and loving! That’s the pattern of the early church and one to follow.

These are difficult days, there’s no doubt about it. Evil is on the rise, and those that stand for the truth are often ridiculed.But in the midst of the mess, God has an important mission and calling for us. And today you’ll be encouraged to embrace it with open arms, just like Samuel! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

If you take a good hard look at the state of our nation, you could easily be left discouraged. But as we’ll see today, it’s not unlike the nation Samuel grew up in! The Word of God was rare in those days, due to the rebellion and unbelief of the people. In the midst of it all Samuel received God’s call for His life and experienced a fruitful ministry. The same can be said of us, if we’re willing. Today on Abounding Grace we bring you the call of Samuel, found in First Samuel chapter three.

Just because your father is the pastor of a church, and you grew up in the church, and even now go to church… doesn’t mean you’re right with God.
