Today we invite you to join us in Romans chapter eight, verse one, as we continue our series, “Free From Our Past.” When we become a Christian we’re no longer condemned. But that doesn’t mean we won’t feel condemned at times. Sometimes others will condemn us, and sometimes we bring it on ourselves. So how do we get beyond that to embrace God’s truth for our lives? Pastor Ed Taylor will suggest sta...

Listening friend are you living under the weight of condemnation? Maybe you’re feeling a certain heaviness as you think back on all your failures in life, or you’re experiencing the burden of trying to please God by your own efforts! That’s where a lot of people are at today, but there is a better way. Today on Abounding Grace we discover that if you’re in Christ, you’re no longer condemned, but l...

Today. we’ll continue our series though Second Corinthians with an important message about false teachers. Now, every message based on the words of the bible is important, but in the day and age we live in, warnings about false teachers is especially important. They are everywhere today, and the deceptions are sometimes very subtle. But they are also very dangerous. To support this ministry financ...

You’re in for a real treat today as pastor Ed Taylor picks up where we left off in his new mini-series, “Free from our Past.” Today we turn to Jeremiah chapter 52 and draw attention to the King of Babylon who showed a great deal of forgiveness. Keep in mind, he wasn’t even a believer! How much more should we as Christians be known as forgiving people. To support this ministry financially, visit: h...

Are you holding on to some unforgiveness? Maybe it’s a spouse that really hurt you, or a father than abandoned you? As we’ll learn today on Abounding Grace that unforgiveness will leave you in a prison of misery. So pastor Ed Taylor will take some time today to explain the freedom that forgiveness brings to a human life. Today we’re beginning a short but powerful series called, “Free from our Past...

We’re often quick to make snap judgements based on outward appearance. For instance how often do we see someone who is good looking get elected into office! Or you see someone shabbily dressed and think poorly of them! But as we’ll see today, it’s not a good idea to judge others based on outward appearance. That’s a real problem today, as it was in Paul’s day. To support this ministry financially,...

A police officer wouldn’t dream of leaving the office without his or her service weapon. Those in the armed forces wouldn’t step into enemy territory without their weaponry. And as believers in Christ, it would be foolish to try to fight our daily battles without the spiritual weaponry that God has provided. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor shows us how to fight, and use our spiritual wea...

Second Corinthians chapter ten exposes the spiritual war that we find ourselves in as believers, along with the weapons we’re given to be successful. We’ll learn that one of the best ways to fight is on our knees in prayer. It’s an important and relevant section of scripture.

Have you ever looked at someone… maybe how they’re dressed… and right away made some conclusions about them? And later on down the road you discovered you had it all wrong! We tend to do things like that, more than we may care to admit. But today we’ll discover it’s not a wise thing to do. Pastor Ed has framed his message around Second Corinthians chapter ten. To support this ministry financially,...

J. Hudson Taylor said, “When God’s work is done in God’s way for God’s glory, it will never lack God’s supply!” And haven’t you found that to be true in your life? Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn as we give cheerfully and with a willing heart God will take care of our needs. He’ll supply!

God gave us His Son… an indescribable gift which we ought to be eternally grateful for. And today on Abounding Grace we come to realize when we give, we’re giving to the God that gave! Pastor Ed Taylor is going to draw out a few valuable principles for giving from Second Corinthians chapter nine. Among the things we’ll discuss is how much should we give, and what should our attitude be like when w...

When it comes to giving, many pastors won’t touch the subject with a ten-foot pole. That’s because many people get agitated or bothered when money is mentioned in the church, or due to negative experiences in the past. But Jesus had no problem talking about it. In fact, he addressed money and stewardship in 16 of his parables. Today on Abounding Grace we’re certainly not going to shy away from it...

We’ve decided to present a mini-series on giving, as we’re in chapters eight and nine of Second Corinthians. When it comes to giving God is more concerned with our heart than the amount. Remember the poor widow who gave two mites? Though that gift may not have caught the attention of people, it sure caught the Lord’s attention in a good way! So then what is the key to giving that pleases God? Past...

Pastor Ed Taylor is knee deep in his study of Second Corinthians, and here in chapters eight and nine we’re taking a little extra time to unpack what the Bible has to say about giving. And there’s quite a bit! Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed points to Jesus as our example in giving. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Martin Luther was heard to say, “I have tried to keep things in my hands and lost them all, but what I have given into God’s hands I still possess!” That was the mindset of the people we’ll be introduced to today on Abounding Grace as they gave themselves to the Lord. It led to them giving above their ability! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

We’re talking about giving, the right and wrong way to go about it, today on Abounding Grace. When you give is it out of reluctance, or some sort of obligation? We’ll be introduced to a group of Christians that had a much better motivation than that… they gave because they loved the Lord and cared about those around them. They gave liberally, above and beyond their ability! To support this ministr...

Ed Taylor opens Second Corinthians chapter eight today. And in the coming days we’re going to give you a balanced approach to giving. God’s not broke, but He does want us to participate in His work and one way we get to do that is through giving. We’ll be inspired by those in Macedonia who gave out of grateful hearts, even though they were poor and suffering too. To support this ministry financial...

We get right back into Second Corinthians today, and touch on a sensitive subject to say the least. I’ve heard it said the most sensitive nerves in the human body are the nerves that extend from the heart to the pocketbook. But the Lord has a lot to say about how we handle our finances, and giving, and so if it’s important to Him it should be important to us. And so today we give attention to givi...

We’ve all experienced it… we’ve done or said something terrible, and feel bad about it. But where do you go from there? Pastor Ed will show us how to experience godly sorrow that leads to repentance. It’s modeled for us in quite a few places in Scripture. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

You can probably look back on your life and think of quite a number of things that you did in the past that you now regret. Maybe it was using drugs, hanging out with the wrong people, or lying to someone. But God wants us to take it one step further and move from regret to repentance… which is turning from the sin to Christ. Otherwise, we’ll just do it again and again and it can be a vicious cycl...
