March 22, 2024

Many of us find it interesting to learn a little bit about our history and where we came from.  Maybe as a kid you were given the assignment in school of creating a family tree?  Today we’re going to tell you where you came from… and take you way back!  Your family tree can actually be traced back to Noah’s sons.  So let’s take a look at our origins, in Genesis chapter ten.

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.

Don’t you love it following a rainstorm when a beautiful rainbow appears in the sky?  Maybe you didn’t realize it, but those rainbows are to be a reminder to us that God will never destroy the earth with water again!  That’s a wonderful promise, and today on Abounding Grace we transition from rainbows to shadows!  We’re confronted with a problem that resides in all of us.

As we head into Genesis chapter nine the flood is now over, and it’s time for a new beginning!  Here God is establishing certain institutions like the family, government, and the church!  It’s not hard to see, mankind has drifted away from God’s plan and purpose for these institutions.

Pastor Ed Taylor will be covering Genesis chapter eight today, and at this point in time the worldwide flood is over and it’s about time for Noah, his family and the animals to step out onto dry land. What was the first item on the agenda for Noah?  He worshipped God.  And would a great example that is to us! We’ll also pursue the question, how did Noah find grace in the eyes of the Lord?

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.

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.
