A Life of Surrender and Sacrifice Part 1

May 7, 2024

We’ll focus our time and attention on Genesis chapter 22 today, a chapter that speaks of the most difficult test Abraham would face in his life.  But God had prepared him for it.  This will prove to be helpful the next time we’re faced with a test or trial.

When you become a believer in Christ it doesn’t take long to realize you’ve just entered into a fierce battle.  The enemy has his sights on you, but there’s also a battle within.  Something we refer to as the battle between the flesh and the Spirit.   But here’s the good news.  You can experience victory and we’ll explain how on Abounding Grace.  Through it all we’ll be reminded that God is faithful and utterly reliable!

Abraham, the Father of Faith and friend of God was far from perfect.  Today on Abounding Grace we’ll recall one of the lowest points of his life.  While Abraham would fall numerous times, God by His mercy and grace would pick him up and restore him.  Pastor Ed Taylor doesn’t want us to miss the application to our lives.

On today’s broadcast Pastor Ed Taylor takes us into Genesis chapter twenty, and Abraham finds himself having to repeat a grade in the school of faith.  Abraham falls into the sin from which God had previously and mercifully delivered him.  Sound familiar? You no doubt, as we all do, have areas of weakness in your life.  And God in His mercy seeks to help us with that!

Maybe this sounds familiar… you’ve been trying to make progress in your spiritual life but not really getting anywhere.  You’re trying to defeat the flesh in your own strength, and not successful in the least!  We’ll learn today that the key is to walk in the Spirit.  You see, without the Spirit of God we can’t do anything good!

God is about to judge Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter nineteen.  Just before this occurred He mercifully told Lot and his family to leave and flee to the mountains and don’t look back. As you may know, his wife looked back and died as a result.  Pastor Ed observes a few lessons from Lot’s wife!

Ed Taylor continues our journey through Genesis.  We left off in chapter nineteen at verse fifteen.  We see a pattern emerge in our study of the Scriptures.  Before God judges He delivers the righteous and He very often shows mercy even in judgement.
