Today on Abounding Grace we’ll take another look at Jacob’s family. It was a mess, to put it mildly. In Genesis chapter 34 we hear of a terrible rape and murder that occured. It will serve as a needed reminder to us that taking revenge only makes things worse! We’ll also hear about the dangers of greed and coveting! I think you’d agree, there’s a lot of that going on in our world! To support this...

Rape, murder, deception... while that may sound to us like the headliner for a local newscast, would you believe it’s also a description of the 34th chapter of Genesis? We’ll take a look at it today on Abounding Grace. And through it all we’ll learn a thing or two about reconciliation and forgiveness.

As Christians as long as we have breath, we’re to be always growing in grace. We never arrive until we get to heaven.

Whether you’ve been hit with the news that you have cancer, or you’re suffering through a disease like diabetes or parkinsons, it’s important to know that God cares about you and what you’re going through. And it just may be in His plan and will to heal you! Today on Abounding Grace we’ll spend some time talking about the gifts of healings. Yes God does heal today, but pastor Ed Taylor cautions us...

Today we’ll resume our series in Genesis. When we left Jacob’s story, he was in a good place, now governed by God after a big wrestling match. But that doesn’t mean that he’s arrived and there’s nothing more to learn in life! We’re to be always growing in grace. It’s true for Jacob, and true for me and you.

You’ve no doubt seen a sporting event that was a total mismatch from the word go. Perhaps it was the lowest seed playing the top seeded team. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll take a look at the greatest mismatch of all. Jacob is about to enter into a wrestling match with God, and it would lead him to a place of full surrender, governed by God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www...

Pastor Ed Taylor is leading a study in Genesis right now, and we have an eye on chapter 32. There are three notable events here involving Jacob. The first was his encounter with angels!

We’re about to continue our study of Genesis, and our plan today is to complete chapter 31. Throughout this chapter pastor Ed Taylor has observed God’s protective hand in Jacob’s life. You might say He’s stirring the nest in Jacob’s life, to move Jacob along! And you can be sure, the Lord will do the same for us at times. If we’re wise we’ll recognize it!

Today we dive back into our study of Genesis with pastor Ed Taylor. In chapter 31 Jacob is in a vulnerable place, but God is going to protect him. A strong case could be made that Jacob really didn’t deserve it. But that’s God’s protective grace, giving us what we don’t deserve! And I should add He does the same in our lives!

We’re in the midst of a series based in First Corinthians, and discussing the various manifestations of the Spirit. You might think of these as gifts that God gives to us for a specific moment in time, just when we need it. Today we’ll draw your attention to the manifestation of faith, as we get back to First Corinthians twelve. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com...

We’re continue our study of Genesis, and our plan today is to complete chapter 31. At this point in Jacob’s life he’s a saved man, but not a surrendered man. Maybe that would describe you? You’ve left your first love. Listen in as we’ll see the way back, and it leads right to Bethel! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

We’ll be continuing pastor Ed Taylor’s study of Genesis, and we’ve reached chapter 31. We’ve been studying the life and times of Jacob. Recently we’ve learned about Jacob’s love life and then his home life. At this point Jacob isn’t where he needs to be, and so God is about to stir things up. And haven’t you found that to be true in your life? You’ve strayed a bit, and the Lord stirs the nest to g...

Is your home life a big mess and you’re hoping for a turnaround? Well keep it right here for Abounding Grace, as we visit Genesis chapter thirty and hear all about Jacob’s home Life. It too was messy, and fractured, to say the least. But even still God was at work through it all, and by His grace accomplished great things.

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...

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.

This weekend Ed Taylor continues a series in First Corinthians. Lately we’ve been exploring what the Bible has to say about the Manifestations of the Spirit. And today we focus on faith.

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...

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. And we begin to hear of his transformation and really the saving of Jacob in this chapter. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

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 th...

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...

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. To support this ministry financially, v...

Think your family is dysfunctional? Well as the old saying goes, You ain’t seen nothing yet. Isaac’s family was dysfunctional in so many ways. There was a lack of trust and leadership, and it would lead to broken relationships. It’s a family gone wrong, and reminds us that deceit destroys families.
