Abounding Grace

Pastor Ed Taylor

Saved to be Sent Part 1

March 18, 2024

Pastor Ed will be in Genesis chapter eight today.  If you’ll recall a worldwide flood has just occurred, and Noah, his family and the animals have been couped up in the Ark for about 190 days.  Now, the waters are receding, and it’s time for them to step out of the Ark onto dry land.  There’s wonderful hope and encouragement to be found in all of this.

Face Your Fears
Pastor Ed Taylor has a new book called, “Face Your Fears.” We all deal with fear from time to time, and maybe right now it’s at an all-time high for you! God has given us this emotion for good reasons, but there are those times when our fears become illogical and unreasonable. They lead us to make bad decisions that only makes things worse. God is with you and His perfect love casts out fear. That’s the emphasis of Face Your Fears.

Pastor Ed Taylor is in First Corinthians and we’re spending a considerable amount of time in chapter twelve due to its rich content.  Maybe you’ve looked at this chapter, like many, as though it’s just a list of spiritual gifts. But pastor Ed believes these are actually manifestations of the spirit, and he’ll explain the difference as we go along.  So with Bible in hand, let’s set out to understand spiritual gifts, spiritual ministries and the manifestations of the Spirit.

Pastor Ed Taylor will be continuing our series in Genesis.  In chapter seven God is about to judge the world through a flood, but before He does, He tells Noah, His family and the animals to load up into the Ark.  Pastor Ed makes this observation, God prepares us for what’s up ahead, just as He did for Noah.

Today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor begins chapter seven.  God is about to judge the world by flood, but before He does, He tells Noah and his family to board the Ark.  Pastor Ed will compare this to another judgement that’s coming, and stress how important it is that we board the Ark so to speak.  We do that through faith in Jesus.

Today we aim to complete Genesis chapter six with pastor Ed Taylor.  The Lord gave Noah a mission to go and build an ark!  And Noah did what he was told.  This beautiful picture of obedience to God speaks volumes to us today.  We’re to obey the Lord just as Noah did, in whatever He may call us to do. Let’s receive the challenge.

In a moment we’ll hear from pastor Ed Taylor, who today continues his series in Genesis.  Noah’s Ark… you may have heard a thing or two about it in Sunday School.  But what you may not realize is it beautifully portrays our salvation and God’s marvelous grace and where to find it.  We’ll learn about this and more today as we deep dive into chapter six.

I probably don’t have to convince you that we’re living in the last days, but the question we’ll entertain today is how should we be living at such a time as this?  We get some clues as we look at how Noah lived in a very dark time, similar to our own.  He walked with God, keeping his eyes on the Lord.  Pastor Ed says we need to do the same.

We’re excited to open God’s wonderful Word with you once again on Abounding Grace.  Pastor Ed Taylor will be along shortly, and continue our series in First Corinthians. We’re just getting started in chapter twelve, and we plan on being here for quite some time as it really serves to help us understand spiritual gifts.  The Corinthians were ignorant in this area, but we don’t have to be, if we’ll take the time to learn what God says about it in His Word.

It seems like every time you turn on the news, you’re reminded that we live in a dark and wicked world.  Evil behavior is on the increase and even celebrated.  Not unlike a time we’ll read about in Genesis chapter six.  Today on Abounding Grace that’s where we’ll join pastor James Kaddis, and discover this really grieved the heart of God.  He would end up judging the world through a flood.  But first came a warning of coming judgement!

Wouldn’t you like to live a life of purpose and significance?  You can.  And the key to unlock that door is to walk faithfully with God, just as Enoch did so long ago.  Today on Abounding Grace we’ll derive much needed encouragement from Genesis chapter five.  It contains a genealogy, but this isn’t just a list of names we may find hard to pronounce.  There’s something here we can benefit a great deal from.

If you’ve ever read through the genealogies in the Bible you might have just glossed right over it, thinking this is just a list of names and how does that apply to me!  Keep listening, as today on Abounding Grace you’ll discover they are very significant.  One such genealogy is found in Genesis chapter five, and that’s where we’ll spend the bulk of our time together.
