April 16, 2024
You might not find it so difficult to trust God when times are good, but how about when you’re waiting on God or times are tough? And your expectations aren’t met? Will you trust God then? Today on Abounding Grace we find Abram and Sarai in the waiting room. While they should have been trusting in God, they tried to help God out.

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.

Whether it’s in the doctor’s office or in traffic, we typically don’t like to wait! We grow impatient if we have to wait for something for 10 minutes, but imagine having to wait for something for many years! Today we turn to the story of Abram and Sarai waiting for their promised son to arrive. After waiting for quite some time they decide to take matters into their own hands! Big mistake.

Ask 10 people on the street who is the Holy Spirit, and you might get 10 very different answers. And many are under the impression that He’s just some inanimate force out there. But today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn the truth about the Holy Spirit, and who He really is. He’s a person, has a will and emotions, speaks and empowers the believer for starters.

Genesis chapter fifteen is in front of us today on Abounding Grace. Last time we heard how the Lord came to Abram, encouraging him not to be afraid because He would protect and provide for Him. We’ll hear today how Abram believed the Lord and God credited it to him as righteousness. That’s a good model for us to consider.

We’re in the middle of our study in Genesis, and we left off in chapter fourteen. Here we see a stark contrast between the decision making of Lot and Abram. One would choose for himself, and the other would respond in humility. But through all of it we’re reminded again that God uses everything, the good the bad, the ugly, successes and failures. Allow that to encourage your heart today.

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.

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.
