Many conflicts and disagreements in marriage center around sexual intimacy but God doesn't want that to be the case. And so He addresses this very issue in First Corinthians chapter seven. Pastor Ed Taylor is about to look at this very practical passage and show us how we can glorify God in marriage and specifically through sexual intimacy. We'll also be reminded of God's definition of marriage here on this edition of Abounding Grace. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

“It's my body, I can do what I want with it! Or, "If it feels good, do it!” If you've not said it yourself, no doubt you've heard something along those lines. That's the prevailing attitude in our day and age and it's used to justify all sorts of behavior from abortion, to sex outside of marriage, or even harmful addictions. Today on Abounding Grace we're given practical instruction on how to use our body in a God-glorifying way. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

Today on Abounding Grace we're pausing to consider a serious warning in First Corinthians six. Many people today are led to believe they can live like the world and still go to heaven. But a lifestyle of sin is an indicator of something terribly wrong. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

As we go through life we're bound to have our fair share of problems and disputes. When someone does us wrong the world would tell you, take em to court and sue them! But pastor Ed Taylor will suggest there's something much more important at stake, and that's God's reputation. We don't want to communicate the wrong message to the unsaved world around us, and so let's see together how to resolve our disputes in a God-honoring manner on Abounding Grace.

When we're wronged by someone or our rights are violated we might be tempted to take it into the legal system. And in certain instances that may be the appropriate course of action. But let's say the person who did you wrong is a Christian… what then? Should Christians take other Christians to court? Or is there a better way to handle it? Today on Abounding Grace that very question is raised. We're going through First Corinthians, and in chapter six another problem in the church at Corinth rises to the surface.

Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor urges us to have a concern for holiness and a willingness to help others caught up in sin just as the apostle Paul does in First Corinthians chapter five. Yes taking a stand for purity will be uncomfortable, but we need to realize it's good for everyone! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

As you look back on your life, maybe you're ashamed of what you used to be! You lived a life that involved drugs, violence, and you were quick to get angry too. But here's the good news, if you're a Christian, you're no longer identified by your past. You're a new creation in Christ. That's how God sees you, and how you should see yourself. That's our focus today on Abounding Grace. In Second Corinthians chapter five we've been looking at our calling as servants of Jesus, and as we continue today pastor Ed Taylor has us consider how God changes us from the inside out.

Imagine if there was a guy in your church who was having sexual relations with his stepmother. On top of it all, the whole church knew what was going on, but did nothing about it. Scandalous, I'm sure you'd agree. That's exactly what was going on in the church at Corinth. But before you start thinking we're above that, pastor Ed Taylor will point out the same sort of tolerance of sin is going on today in many churches. Today on Abounding Grace we'll open First Corinthians five and be encouraged to take a stand for purity. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

We're talking about the sin of pride today on Abounding Grace as we get back to our series in First Corinthians.

When things aren't going the way we think they should at church, or someone rubs you the wrong way, are you quick to criticize? Many of us have that tendency, if we're honest. But today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor urges us to refrain from that sort of thing. Nothing good is accomplished through our criticism of others. As we begin our study of First Corinthians four today we discover the apostle Paul even faced criticism. How he handles it really speaks volumes.

How do you measure success in your life? Perhaps you say, by how much you currently have in the bank or your achievements at work? God looks at it much differently, as we'll see today on Abounding Grace. Success in His eyes is very much connected to our level of faithfulness.

Whether it's teaching a Sunday School class for years and never having a single person show any appreciation whatsoever, or you're serving in the sound ministry and very few really know you're doing it faithfully… it's common for the Christian to feel underappreciated in their service of the Lord. But what will keep you going and how can you remain faithful to God in that difficult place?Let's talk about it today on Abounding Grace. In First Corinthians four verse one pastor Ed Taylor will key in on the description Paul gives of being a servant and a steward. That's exactly what we're to be as followers of God.

When you're building a home, you know that it's important to build on a good solid foundation.But it's also important how you build on that foundation.

When our kids are little we expect certain behaviors like an occasional temper tantrum, sucking on a pacifier, and crawling around on the ground playing with toys. But if a thirty or forty year old is engaging in that same behavior we'd be concerned. That's because we expect growth with time. And that's true spiritually as well. Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor shows us why spiritual growth is to occur from new birth until we go to be with the Lord.

Our human bodies steadily grow from birth and the average person stops growing by the time they're twenty. Though we do stop growing physically, we should never stop growing spiritually. As we'll see in our study today on Abounding Grace, God desires for us to be healthy and mature believers, displaying the love of Christ with knowledge and understanding.

His Abounding Grace with Min Van: Free But Still Shackled!Galatians 5:1 KJVStand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

If you've received Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, that's wonderful. Your salvation is secure and you're on your way to heaven. But did you realize, you'll still give an account for your life and stand before the Bema Seat Judgment of Christ? This is not regarding your salvation, but rather eternal rewards. And today on Abounding Grace, pastor Ed Taylor helps us get ready. He wants us to consider three things in light of the Bema Seat, found in Second Corinthians five.

Whether it's after our feelings get hurt or things don't go our way a fight or squabble can so easily lead to contention and even division. It even happens within the local church.

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

There's a physical world all around us. It's very real to us because we can see it with our own eyes. But there's also a spiritual world as well, that is just as real! Problem is we can't see what's going on in this hidden spiritual realm. So today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor is going to challenge us to start praying, Lord open our eyes to see what we cannot see! That's actually a prayer of Elisha in Second Kings chapter six.

Rise up and go take the land! That was God's message to the people of Israel in Joshua chapter one, but today on Abounding Grace we'll pause to consider that the Lord may very well be speaking that to us too!

Super-Abounding Grace

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.
