The Slow and Determined Drift Toward Sin Part 2
April 24, 2024
Today on Abounding Grace we’ll hear about the slow and determined drift toward sin that happened in Lot’s life, that would end up wrecking his life. It was a series of rather small decisions, that would lead to big consequences later on down the road. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen to us.

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.

We all go through hard times and face challenges in life. Sometimes it can be so overwhelming, we may wonder if it’s too big for God to handle. But today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor recalls the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis chapter eighteen. In the midst of it all, the question is asked, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” The answer is No! And maybe that’s something you need to be reminded of today, in light of the difficulty you’re facing.

Certain skeptics find the miracles in the Bible hard to believe. From Noah and the flood, to Jonah and the Big Fish... and how is it possible for a woman to bear a child at 90 years of age they ask? But they fail to realize that God is able to do anything He wants to do in His time. We’ll focus on God’s faithfulness and ability here today on Abounding Grace as our study of Genesis continues with pastor Ed Taylor.

As we look back over the course of our lives we can see peaks and valleys, successes and failures. That holds true even with some of the people in the Bible we’ve grown to admire like Abram. Last time on Abounding Grace we observed Abram make a very bad decision. And now we fast forward 13 years and we’ll see God’s overruling power in his life. God is going to change Abram’s name, because He wants him to walk in a new identity. And pastor Ed Taylor will show us how we too are to walk in our new identity in Christ right now as we turn to Genesis chapter 17.
