Abounding Grace

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...

Everybody has a bad day and makes mistakes, but what a difference it makes when there’s someone there to help. To have a friend who comes in when the whole world goes out. And what a friend we have in Jesus! But we’re also to be like Jesus to others. That’s our focus today on Abounding Grace. Our Scripture for today’s broadcast is Galatians chapter six. It’s there we’ll be reminded how we are to h...

When a loved one is clearly living a sinful lifestyle are you quick to say, “That’s none of my business, so I should stay out of it!” Or do you right away give them the truth but in a harsh way? Today on Abounding Grace we learn that there is a time and a place for confrontation, and seeking to restore someone. But there is a right way and a wrong way of doing this, so we need to get God’s perspec...

On today’s episode, we continue with a message begun last time on the fruit of the Spirit. It’s not something we can drum up on our own, but only what God can do in us by His Spirit. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

We’re making our way through Galatians, and today we come to a passage in chapter five that describes the works of the flesh. Pastor Ed breaks them down into three groups for us, the sexual sins, the religious sins and then the social sins. Let’s take this opportunity to examine our lives to see if the works of the flesh are evident in us! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.o...

We hope it’s your desire to be a part of a strong, healthy church. But what does a healthy church look like, according to God? We get some clues in Acts chapter two. Pastor Ed Taylor has observed four ingredients in a church that’s Well! And today on Abounding Grace we’ll begin looking at each of these ingredients. The first of which is Learning!

We’re about to resume our verse by verse study of Galatians with another look into chapter five. Today pastor Ed Taylor raises our awareness to three very real enemies, and breaks down the works of the flesh into four identifiable categories. It will serve to help us rely on God’s resources and grace rather than our own ability in this battle with the flesh. To support this ministry financially, v...

In Romans chapter 7 the apostle Paul declared, “Oh wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Paul certainly isn’t alone in this struggle with the flesh is he? If you want to live a victorious Christian life, keep listening. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see that the way to defeat the flesh is to walk in the Spirit. Which raises the question, how do we walk in the...

See if this sounds familiar. You’re a believer in Christ, but so often you’re doing things you don’t want to do! You’re battling the flesh in your life, but the flesh is winning more often than not! It’s an all too common struggle. But here’s the good news, there is a way to defeat the flesh in your life, and it has everything to do with a walk in the Spirit. We’ll explain today on Abounding Grace...

We’re developing pastor Ed Taylor’s new study of Galatians. And we’ve entered the highly practical fifth chapter. We’ve established already that we’ve been called to freedom. But as we’ll see today we’re not to use that liberty as an excuse for sin, or as an opportunity to act out in the flesh.

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of his study in Galatians, and we pick up where we left off in chapter five. Today pastor Ed will point out that we’ve been called to freedom. So why is it that so many Christians are failing to live in that freedom? Many are going back to legalism, just as the Galatians did so long ago. Let’s see how to get back to living in the simplicity of faith in Jesus. To s...

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...

How do you relate to God…. on the basis of law or grace? Think that over with us today on Abounding Grace. If you’ve been with us in our study of the book of Galatians you’ll know the Galatian Christians we’re being drawn into legalism. It’s an age-old problem that exists still today. So the apostle Paul stepped in and encouraged them to stand strong in grace. Maybe it’s a message you need to be r...

Recently we’ve been going through Galatians, which really emphasizes that we’re to live by grace and not under the law. While we may nod our head in agreement, are we applying what we know into how we live? As we transition to chapter five we get into a very practical portion of the epistle. We’re talking about how to stand strong in grace. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www....

We’re excited to share today's Abounding Grace, as it has the potential to open your eyes to the freedom that is yours in Christ. You see each of us have a choice to make on a daily basis… human effort, flesh and bondage or freedom in Christ as we live by grace! This is illustrated for us in the lives of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace....

We’re in the middle of a helpful study in Galatians, and on our next two programs we aim to complete chapter four. If we had to sum up the first four chapters of the book we could do so with these words: Grace is the only way to live! And that’s also the title we’ve given this message from pastor Ed. So let’s see together why Jesus is all we need, and the freedom that is ours in Christ. To support...

In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus warned us, “Watch out for false prophets!” They come to us in sheep’s clothing, but are really vicious wolves. And they are all around us aren’t they! Whether it be on social media, knocking on our front door, or even in the church we attend. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see the need to be careful and why we’re to avoid them.

We’ll join pastor Ed Taylor in Galatians chapter four. Leaving the grace of God and taking a giant step down to a performance based relationship with God is a big and tragic mistake. Something the Galatians were starting to do. So the apostle Paul stepped in and reminded them they are already free in Jesus. So why would you leave that? A good word for us to consider as well. To support this minist...

As Christians we have come to realize we’re saved by grace through faith, not by keeping the law. But does that mean the law no longer serves a purpose? Why did God give us the law? We’ll look into that today on Abounding Grace. Pastor Ed Taylor will point to four reasons that God gave us His law. We’ll cover the first two today.

We join pastor Ed Taylor in Acts chapter two today on Abounding Grace. This portion of Scripture 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 f...
