Abounding Grace

Pastor Ed Taylor

Don't Limit God Part 2

August 26, 2024

We all face decisions or situations, big and small, every day!  But do you try to figure it out on your own?  A much better way to go is to look to the Lord in prayer, and wait upon God.  Today we’ll join pastor Ed in Acts chapter one, where a case could be made that Peter is getting ahead of the Lord.  Instead of waiting, like God instructed him to do, he’s acting and putting limitations on God.  

References: Acts 1:15-26

Some might be tempted to think we’re opening a can of worms today on Abounding Grace, as we enter into a talk about the gifts and manifestations of tongues and its interpretation.  But really we’re just opening the Bible.  Pastor Ed Taylor will help us arrive at a biblical understanding of these two manifestations that are often avoided, misunderstood, and even misused.

Pastor Ed Taylor is about to open Acts chapter one.  And at this particular point in time Judas needs to be replaced, but the disciples were told to wait!  Pastor Ed believes on this occasion Peter gets ahead of the Lord and places limitations upon the Lord that he shouldn’t have.  Something we’re all prone to do at various times.  But as we’ll discover, sometimes God works outside of our expectations.

Today we turn to the book of Acts and learn a thing or two about waiting on the Lord.  We learned last time that our eyes need to remain on Jesus at such times and we need to remember Christ is coming back.  Join pastor Ed Taylor for more about how we’re to wait on the Lord.

So there you are seated next to someone on a plane, or at the family dinner table, and a golden opportunity presents itself to share the gospel.  What do you say and how do you say it?  If you’re not quite sure, stick around, as today’s Abounding Grace will prove to be very helpful.  Pastor Ed Taylor is continuing a series called, “Be the Church.”  We’re learning what it means to be the church, and a big part of that is lived out by lovingly evangelizing, caring for and serving the world in which you live.

Whether it’s a family member, friend, or total stranger sitting next to us… we have daily encounters with the unsaved.  And God wants to use us to reach them.  So today and tomorrow on Abounding Grace we’re going to learn how to share the gospel, and get prepared for this calling!

Tongues and the interpretation of tongues, there’s quite a bit of confusion and controversy surrounding these two manifestations of the Spirit. And we hope to clear some of that up today on Abounding Grace, as pastor Ed Taylor returns to his series in First Corinthians. If you’ve been in the church for quite some time, you’re probably familiar with some of the controversy. In one camp you have those that claim these sign gifts have ceased. And then there are others who would tell you you’re really not saved or spiritual if you don’t speak in tongues. Pastor Ed believes both of these extremes are to be avoided, and now helps us arrive at a biblical understanding.

We’re unveiling God’s strategy for reaching the lost today on Abounding Grace!  Join us in Acts chapter one verse eight as we continue our new series, “Be the Church.”  The church is to be all about the gospel and sharing it with the lost. If we’re not doing that, we’re off track!  But how do we reach the lost? The answer if wonderfully simple and given to us in the first chapter of Acts.

There’s a lost and dying world around us!  Whether it be our family and friends, our neighbors, those in our community, or people we don’t even know on the other side of the world.  But the question is, how do we reach them with the gospel? The answer is wonderfully simple, and layed for us in Acts chapter one verse eight.

We are very excited about today’s program as we return to our series, “Be the Church!”  As we’ll discover in a moment the baptism of the Holy Spirit helps us to be the church.  It’s only by the power of God that we’re capable of such a thing. Pastor Ed Taylor has observed three experiences or relationships we can have with the Holy Spirit.
