Abounding Grace

Last time we observed the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate. It was truly an amazing miracle. Which raises the question who should get the glory for this? God or the human instrument that He uses? In light of all that’s going on around us today, it’s an important question for us to carefully consider, even in our own lives as we go about serving the Lord. To support this ministry finan...

We are going through First Corinthians right now. What would you say you’re known for? Maybe it’s your accomplishments at the workplace, or your wealth? Some are known as being a gossip, or an angry, bitter person. But wouldn’t it be nice to be known as a loving person? That’s actually what the Christian should be known for, and today we’ll be encouraged in that direction. To support this ministry...

We're in Acts chapter three once again. Some may view what we’re about to study as an interruption, but could it be a divine appointment? You can be sure God is in control of our lives, and leading us, just as He was for Peter and John at this particular time!

Today we open the book of Acts to chapter three and begin to look at a story of a man the Lord heals. The Lord gives this man far more than he could have ever imagined! It’s very encouraging to remind ourselves that our God seeks to do far more in and through our lives than we could have ever dreamed possible. The reminder is necessary because life beats us down - sometimes to the point where we s...

Today we’ll be wrapping up our four-part mini-series called, A Church That’s Well. We’ve learned thus far that a healthy, vibrant church is made up of four ingredients they’re worshipping, evangelistic, learning and loving. And last time pastor Ed Taylor showed us that being fully committed is important too! And today we’ll be encouraged to embrace a simple life. As this world gets darker and hard...

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? 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...

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!

While many Christians are sitting in the stands watching the game, so to speak, while a few are actually participating our aim today on Abounding Grace is to encourage you to get off the sidelines and into the game. It starts by realizing you are very important to the team or church. Today pastor Ed Taylor visits First Corinthians twelve and points out a very common attack that you’ll no doubt fac...

Today we return to pastor Ed Taylor’s series in Acts, and right now we’re placing special emphasis on chapter two, verses 40-47. We’re uncovering what a healthy, well balanced church looks like, using the acronym W.E.L.L. W stands for worshipping. E- Evangelizing. L- Learning. And the other L is Loving. Today we’re going to primarily focus on Learning and see how that plays a huge part in us being...

What makes a sermon good and effective? Today on Abounding Grace we’ll take a look at Peter’s Sermon as recorded for us in Acts chapter two and delivered in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, the birthday of the church. What made it so good is it was all about Jesus, it was rooted in Scripture, and fueled by the Holy Spirit! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/don...

Today on Abounding Grace we’re spotlighting God’s undying love for you and the lost. Pastor Ed Taylor will have us look at Peter’s sermon in Acts chapter two for inspiration and application. 3,000 people were saved on the heels of this message, and really it’s all connected to the power of the Spirit of God working through the Word of God!

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! To support this ministry fi...

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 s...

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. To support this ministry fina...

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...

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.
