Abounding Grace

For quite a few weeks we’ve been looking at the manifestations of the Spirit. Think of these as spiritual power tools, or helps that come alongside your spiritual giftings for a specific time and reason. On occasion the Lord may give you the ability to speak into a person’s life. It may be a comforting word, or something along the lines of exhortation or edification. That’s really what the manifes...

Today we're in Genesis chapter 44. God has His ways of getting us to the place He wants us to be. Often that involves the trying of our faith! We see that in the story of Joseph and his brothers. God is working on their hearts, and these brothers are coming to the end of themselves. And that’s a good thing. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

In Genesis chapter 43 Jacob is at a fork in the road, will he walk in the light or darkness? That’s actually a decision each of us are faced with throughout life.

We may look at all the evil and injustice in the world and start to wonder, Are they getting away with it! The truth of the matter is, as we’ll discover today, your sin will find you out. Sin and its consequences will not stay hidden forever. So it’s best to deal with it as God would have us, and come clean before the Lord.

For the last couple of months we’ve been enjoying a study in First Corinthians, and right now considering the various manifestations of the Spirit. There are nine of them, and beginning today pastor Ed Taylor will have a look into Prophecy. Like many of these manifestations there’s a great deal of confusion surrounding it. Some are even weirded out by it, or want nothing to do with it. But when yo...

We're in Genesis chapter 42 today. If you’ll recall in previous studies we saw Joseph’s brothers did him dirty, selling him into slavery. But now today the tables have turned. There’s a famine in the land and everyone is coming to Egypt, where Joseph is now in charge. He’s about to encounter his brothers. How will Joseph handle this juicy situation? Join us and find out. To support this ministry f...

Who doesn’t love a good rags to riches story! We’ve got a good one for you today on Abounding Grace. It features Joseph, who was rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery, then thrown into prison. After 13 years of tough times, he became the #2 man over all of Egypt! Pastor Ed Taylor will show us how God often prepares and delivers us too.

Join us in Genesis chapter 41 today. If you’ll recall, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, falsely accused of rape and then thrown into jail. But that’s not the end of the story. As you’ll hear, Joseph would go from a prison to a palace, and become the 2nd most powerful man in the world. Only God could do something like this. Let’s see together how valleys turn into mountaintops. To supp...

We’re in the middle of a study in Genesis, looking at the life of Joseph. In chapter 41 Pharoah has a couple of dreams and Joseph is about to help him interpret them.

We’re in the middle of a study of First Corinthians, and currently pointing out the manifestations of the Spirit that we find in chapter 12 like the workings of miracles.

We’ll see that God does the miraculous tod...

We’re in Genesis chapter 40 today. Hardship and sorrow may not be our favorite teacher but it’s an effective one. God knows it and uses it in our lives! Last time we began to hear of how God allowed Joseph to experience great sorrow. It came in the form of being horribly mistreated, falsely accused and imprisoned. Yet God uses it to accomplish His purposes. And I should add the Lord often does tha...

We’ve got a great study from Genesis chapter 40 all set and ready to go, here today on Abounding Grace. Joseph is in prison unjustly at this particular time in his life. But God was still with him, and developing him into the man he wanted him to be. Let’s see together how God uses even the difficult experiences in life to shape and develop us too.

Temptation to sin we all face it. Maybe it’s a temptation to cheat on an exam at school, cheat on your spouse, or not report some of your income! But there is a way to resist temptation successfully, and it’s modeled for us by Joseph. That’s the focus of our time and attention today on Abounding Grace. We’re in the middle of the story of Joseph and you’re about to hear the temptation that he faced...

Emmanuel means God with us. But do you really live like you believe that God is with you? Even when the doctor says it’s cancer, or you’re laid off at work! Today on Abounding Grace we continue the story of Joseph in Genesis chapter 39, and pastor Ed Taylor doesn’t want us to lose sight of this God was with Joseph every step of the way. Even in his trials and temptation. The same holds true for ea...

Pastor Ed Taylor is our Bible teacher, and today he opens Genesis chapter 38. As you closely examine the family tree of Jesus, you quickly see it’s full of big time sinners. But this ought to encourage us. You see, we’re big sinners too. And God has the grace to meet us where we’re at and adopt us into His family.

We revisit First Corinthians this weekend, and currently unveiling the manifestations of the Spirit that we find in chapter twelve. As we read our Bibles we notice God did some amazing miracles, from the parting of the Red Sea, to saving Daniel from being eaten in a Lion’s Den, or how about Jonah being swallowed by a big fish and living to tell about it! But does God still do miracles today? Let’s...

Last time we heard a part of the story of Joseph, and his brothers selling him into slavery. Today we’ll pay particular attention to the older brother Judah. As you’ll see he made a series of very bad decisions that would lead to severe consequences. But through it all we’ll be reminded of God’s amazing grace and that Jesus is a friend of sinners.

Today we continue our study in Genesis. And we’ve just entered into the section about Joseph’s life in chapter 37. As you’ll hear in a moment he’s about to have a dream that angered his brothers greatly. So much so, they conspired to kill him. It stands out in scripture as a reminder of what hatred, anger and envy can do to us and lead to. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.o...

Ed Taylor is leading us on an inspiring and challenging study through the book of Genesis, and today we’re going to look at chapter thirty-seven.

You can be sure, the Lord is up to the same good work in us. To support t...

Today we focus our time and attention on Genesis chapters 35 and 36. Last time we were together, Jacob received a new name and that’s Israel. His new identity is, he's now governed by God. And that’s a good place to be, even for us today. As we’re governed by God we’ll find that’s the place of blessing and victory.

Today we’ll join pastor Ed Taylor in Genesis chapter 35. Jacob is at a pivotal time in his life. He receives a new name, Israel, which means governed by God.

We’re making our way through First Corinthians. And here lately we’ve been exploring the manifestations of the Spirit which includes the gifts of healings. When we are, or a loved one is sick, it’s a good idea to go to the Lord and ask for healing! He is more than able and willing to heal today, but sometimes He chooses not to.
