God's Blessings Turn into Strife Part 2

April 8, 2024

Conflict, strife and division… very sadly its very common in today’s world, and even in the church.  And if that’s something you’re dealing with right now, keep listening, as I think you’ll get a lot out of this study on Abounding Grace.  And if you’re not, well you can be sure, that you will at some point in the future.  Pastor Ed Taylor will also offer up five things that can serve to help us avoid conflict, as we recall a time when Lot and Abram’s servants are arguing.  God’s blessings had turned to strife.

Humility
When Jesus "made himself nothing ... taking the nature of a servant," He modeled, for all believers, true humility. Murray calls this "our true nobility" and "the distinguishing feature of discipleship." In twelve brief but powerful chapters, Murray journeys through Scripture and Christ's life, underscoring the utmost need for humility---as opposed to pride---in the Christian's life. With insightful, penetrating clarity, Murray calls all Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ to be filled with His grace. Often called the best work on humility ever written.

There’s a great deal of confusion today, even in the church, about the Holy Spirit.  Is he just some impersonal force?  Or is He actually a person?  Today we’ll set out to answer the question, Who is the Holy Spirit?  We’ll be covering First Corinthians twelve.

We’re in the middle of pastor Ed Taylor’s study of Genesis right now.  Today we’ll be looking together at Genesis chapter thirteen, and receiving some incredible lessons for those times in life when we fail.  If you’ll remember last time we saw Abraham blow it big time. He was allowing fear to govern his decisions instead of trusting in God.  But now, he’s about to get back on track- and that track leads right to where God first spoke to him.

Today, pastor Ed Taylor resumes his series in Genesis. God places a calling on each of our lives, and we can either respond with faith or with fear. Abraham serves as a great example to us in his journey of faith. But he wasn’t perfect, and had his moments where he got off track. Let’s join pastor Ed and hear about Abraham’s Faith and Failure from Genesis chapter twelve.

Today pastor Ed Taylor returns to his study in Genesis and we’ll be continuing his message, “The Wonder of God’s Overwhelming Grace.” In chapter twelve God makes a powerful promise to Abram, and blesses him.  Pastor Ed will relate this to our walk with the Lord, as God still speaks and uses men and women today, calling them out and blessing them!

Ed Taylor will be picking up where he left off in Genesis. Today Abram, later to be known as Abraham, enters onto the scene.  And God is about to make a wonderful promise to him and bless him.  The cool thing is, the Lord wants to bless us too, and we have promises of God to cling to as well.

Today Pastor Ed Taylor will take us to First Corinthians chapter fifteen, which really focuses on the resurrection. The gospel more than anything in this world lives up to its name!  It truly is good news.  And I think you’d agree good news is desperately needed today in our day of hopelessness and uncertainty!

Of course this is the day that we remember all that Jesus did for us on the cross.  But  He didn’t stay in that grave.  He’s very much alive today.  So we’ll spend the bulk of our time today discussing the benefits of the resurrection.

Pastor Ed will be presenting a study based in Genesis chapter 11.  In this chapter we see an important contrast between self-effort and full surrender.  Have you been trying to build something for yourself.  While you may think it will lead to satisfaction, it really doesn’t.
