Abounding Grace

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...

Today on Abounding Grace we’ll pause to reflect upon our adoption into the family of God. When we were redeemed, we entered into a new relationship with the Heavenly Father.

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...

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.

God gives us many promises in His Word, but do we believe Him? Truth be told, very often we experience a lapse of faith. Be encouraged to go back to a place of trust! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

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’...
