Abounding Grace

Pastor Ed Taylor is midway through his series in Galatians, and we’ll be in chapter three today. Maybe like many you had an older sibling, or parent that would take you by the hand and lead you to school every morning. That’s exactly what the law of God was intended to do. To take us by the hand to school… leading us to Jesus Christ. When you come to understand that, it makes all the difference in...

We're in Galatians three today. Here in this chapter Paul is laying out a wonderful doctrinal defense for the grace of God. The Galatians had strayed away from a loving relationship with Jesus and the grace He alone provides. Instead they were trying to live up to the law, as so many still do to today. But as we’re learning through Galatians, that only leads to frustration and failure. Let’s join...

Pastor Ed Taylor is in the middle of a study in Galatians. In chapter three, the apostle Paul drives home the point that God has promised salvation through Abraham and his seed, Jesus. And God always keeps His promises. The Galatians needed to be reminded of that, as legalists had come into the church telling them the work of Christ wasn’t enough.

From promises to take our kid to the ballgame, or to do something around the house or at work, we so often fail to keep our promises. God on the otherhand always keeps His promises. That we can count on. And pastor Ed Taylor underscores that today on Abounding Grace through this encouraging study in Galatians chapter three.

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!

Have you ever tried to do something that was totally outside your ability and simply couldn’t do it? Maybe it was trying to bench press a few hundred pounds or running a marathon and you fell way short of the mark. Today on Abounding Grace we learn that none of us can become righteous in our own effort. Simply put, it’s impossible. Instead we ought to by faith believe in and live by the grace of J...

On our last broadcast we were reminded that we’re made right with God by faith in what Jesus did at the cross on our behalf. And that salvation is a gift to receive not achieve.

We are saved by grace through faith. In other words Salvation and even growth comes from God and not us! With that said we can so easily drift away from this and start adding fleshly effort into the mix! And that leads to nothing but problems and defeat. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor opens Galatians chapter three and uncovers important instruction about the grace of God that we can all...

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. Let’...

We’re back in Galatians today on Abounding Grace. Hypocrisy exists in the church and something we need to be aware of, as it can easily creep into our own lives. When we’re not real or giving the full story it’s displeasing to God. In the latter half of chapter two the apostle Paul is dealing with hypocrisy in the church.

Today on Abounding Grace we’re confronting the sin of hypocrisy. We’ll be in Galatians chapter two. Here the apostle Paul is dealing with hypocrisy in the church, and the hypocrite in this case just may surprise you! But before you look down your nose at them, it would be good for us to look in the mirror to see if we’re guilty of the same. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www....

Today pastor Ed Taylor returns to our study of Galatians, and if we had to sum up the message in a few words I suppose they could be, seeing the grace of God in changed lives.

We’re saved by grace through faith… as Christians we believe that. But did you realize just as we need grace to start this Christian life, we need God’s grace to grow and live day by day? Freedom is found as we live by grace and allow the Holy Spirit to empower our lives. That’s the emphasis of today’s message from Galatians chapter two.

Saul of Tarsus would probably not be one you’d expect to come to Christ... but He did. And that’s the beauty of God’s grace. He can take even the worst of sinners, and no matter what the circumstances are around them, turn that person into a child of God. We’ll hear a testimony of grace today on Abounding Grace.

Pastor Ed Taylor opens 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 suppor...

If you’re a Christian you have a testimony and the Lord can use it in powerful ways. What a privilege it is to speak of God’s grace that saves us and changes our lives. In Galatians chapter one we run across the Apostle Paul’s testimony. We’ll notice who he was before he was saved, and can’t help but see the big difference after God got a hold of his life. Pastor Ed Taylor will point out how our l...

As you take a close look at your life who are you seeking to please? Is it God, others, yourself, or society in general?

We’re making our way through Galatians one verse at a time. As we learned last time, there is only one gospel, and one way to be saved. A group of legalists had made their way into the church at Galatia and added to the gospel of grace. The Galatians were turning away from the truth because of it, so the apostle Paul stepped in with this reminder of what the gospel is and isn’t! To support this mi...

We’re just getting our feet wet in the epistle of Galatians. Now the Galatians had drifted and turned away from the truth. They needed to be reminded that there is only One Gospel! And that’s a message our world needs to hear today as well. As there are many who have turned away from the truth and are believing lies.

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.

Some go to college to earn a degree. Others work diligently for years in hopes of getting the job of their dreams. An athlete or musician will practice day after day to improve. In many areas of life people put in the time and effort to achieve their goals. But when it comes to our salvation from sin and approval with God we need to realize we can’t earn it and we don’t deserve it. It’s by grace t...
