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.

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 as we go verse by verse through Second Corinthians. Chapter nine offers great principles for giving like how we should give and how much. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

And today pastor Ed Taylor will spotlight the first two verses of the epistle, where we find a common greeting, with an important message. How do you deal with the imperfections of others?

Christianity, as a whole, hangs on one important event: The Resurrection of Christ. Without the Resurrection, every claim that Jesus ever made is immediately called into question. The Good News is it's true. The Resurrection actually happened! And here's something else to consider- Our resurrection is as sure as Jesus' resurrection! And we're going to look into this on Abounding Grace. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29
What if Jesus died and remained in the grave? We're going to thoughtfully consider that question today on Abounding Grace! We continue looking at the resurrection and what it means to us as Christians. In First Corinthians fifteen we'll discover if there's no resurrection our faith is empty and our preaching is also empty. In fact - if there's no resurrection we are liars still in our sins with no hope! Talk about some serious ramifications.

Thisis what we are talking about today as we look at Ephesians 1:7-10: "Inwhom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according tothe riches of His grace." In the first six verses, we found the blessingswe have from God the Father. In God the Father, we have been chosen. We havebeen adopted into His family. We have been accepted in Christ. Now in theseverses we see the blessings that we have from the Person and the work andministry of Jesus Christ because of His blood. We have been redeemed and wehave been forgiven. We talked about that yesterday. Onething I want to go back to: I mentioned that evidence of our forgiveness is wehave the ability and power to forgive others. And I made the statement that ifwe cannot forgive others, maybe we haven't been forgiven. Now, that doesn'tmean that we are not a believer. It doesn't mean that we're not saved, but itmight mean we have not accepted the forgiveness that we have already in ChristJesus. Some people are forgiven but don't know they're forgiven. They've beenset free, but they don't know they've been set free. How sad. ReadRomans chapters 6, 7, and 8. There we read about the law of sin and deaththat's always pulling us down. But then there's the law of life in Christ Jesusthat we must also understand and accept, and that we believe in and that wewalk in. And when we do that, we're free. And we walk in that law of life inChrist Jesus through a life of humility. That's why so much is made abouthumility in Christ. The humility of Christ. He humbled Himself. We humbleourselves under the mighty hand of God. It is then that we receive the grace ofGod (James 4:6), “God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble”. Whenwe receive God's grace, we don't get bitter when people hurt us and they causeus pain. When they offend us. No, we're able to forgive because of humility. Weswallow our pride. We admit our sins, our guilt. Forgiveness is a daily thingfor us. And that is because every day we get our feet dirty in this world.We're human. We don't always respond correctly to the situations and problemsand hurts and challenges that we face and we misstep, and we must come to theLord every day. 1John 1 reminds us that if we say we've not sinned, we are a liar. The truth isnot in us. 1 John 1 is about the assurance in knowing that I'm a child of God andnow that “I can walk in the light as He is in the light, and the blood ofChrist is daily cleansing me from all sin”. And that means I'm forgivingothers also at the same time because of God's wonderful grace. InChrist, we are redeemed and because of that we have been forgiven. And then Paulgoes on in verse 7, to say, "Which He has made to abound toward us inall wisdom and prudence." We have everything we need to live that lifeof abundant life. Jesus said, "The thief came to steal, to kill, and todestroy” (John 10:10). That thief is the devil, and he wants to steal yourjoy. He wants to steal your peace. He wants to steal your walk with God. He's athief. He wants you to be miserable. He wants you to walk in darkness, myfriend. But Jesus came to set you free. And if the “Son sets you free, youwill be free indeed” (John 8:32-26). Youare free to love the Lord, free to love others, free to forgive others becauseyou've been forgiven. This again is a great blessing that we have. And Godgives us this grace. How does He give it? “In all wisdom and prudence”. Thismeans that we know how to respond to the problems in life. And we do itprudently. We do it the right way by the grace of God.Today,be encouraged!!! Deal with bitterness, deal with guilt, ask forgiveness, giveforgiveness, and walk with the Lord today. And what a wonderful life of freedomyou will have and enjoy in Christ today. Godbless!
The gifts of tongues and prophecy continues to be at the center of great controversy in the Church. But God never intended it to be that way. Have we totally missed the point of why these manifestations of the Spirit were given? Join us for an important study in First Corinthians fourteen, today on Abounding Grace.

If you've done an in-depth study of the Spiritual Gifts and manifestations of the Spirit, I'm sure you're familiar with the various viewpoints that exist in the church. Some suggest that the sign gifts have ceased, and no longer for today. That would include the speaking of tongues, it's interpretation and prophecy. But today on Abounding Grace, as we complete First Corinthians thirteen, we'll discover that we need the Spirit, gifts and manifestations until the Lord returns.

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 cycle.
