The first century church of Corinth certainly had its fair share of problems... lawsuits, division, fighting, immorality, and mistakes were occurring left and right. In light of all of this, it's interesting to note Paul's approach to them as he introduces First Corinthians. He was thankful, hopeful, and focused on who they were in Christ as well as God's grace. Today on Abounding Grace we visit First Corinthians chapter one. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Sin is not a friend. Sin is a ravenous beast, always devouring, never satisfied, and its desire is to master us.
If you are in Christ you have died to sin and you are alive to God. Just as the shadow of the cross no longer exists between the Father and the Son, no shadow of our guilt remains between you and God.
As believers we recognize we're save by grace through faith, and that's a total work of God. He gets all the glory for that right! But did you realize, your growth and the good in your life, comes from God too? All glory is to go to God, for His work in our lives. Our sufficiency is from the Lord. And that's the emphasis of today's Abounding Grace as pastor Ed Taylor dives back into Second Corinthians three. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
If you have a new identity before God as a justified man because you died to sin's penalty, then don't let sin have its way with you because that is inconsistent with what God has done for you.
Every once in a while it's not a bad idea to get a refresher in Christian service, what it should be all about, and what our motivation should be as we're engaged in it! And that's what we have in Acts chapter 20. Today and tomorrow on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor has a look at six essentials for serving Jesus. We're learning how to serve in these difficult last days! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him.
Let's be real here. The Bible may say that I am dead to sin but sin sure doesn't seem dead inside me!
Young or old, new believer or seasoned saint you can be confident the Lord wants to use you! And isn't that encouraging? But we need to realize our sufficiency comes from God, and not in and of ourselves. This comes to light through a study in Second Corinthians three, where Paul expresses His sufficiency is in the Lord! Today on Abounding Grace we'll learn more about that.

Grace is such a hard concept to understand, because it counters many of the ways we think about relationships. We often treat others on the basis of what we think they deserve. Although, this is not the way the grace of God works. Tune in to the Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice teaches us how grace abounds to the undeserving.

His Abounding Grace With Min. Van: Pursue Your Calling (Romans 8:28-31) Romans 8:28-31 KJV And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. [29] For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. [31] What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
