I’m sure you can think of a time when someone said something really awful about you, behind your back, and it was untrue!  Worse yet, people believed it, and before you know it, it was spread all over town.  Sadly that sort of behavior has only gotten worse, with the advent of the internet.   But how should we respond to that sort of thing?  Do we lash out in anger or shutdown?  Actually, there’s a much better way to go, and it’s modeled for us by the apostle Paul in Second Corinthians two.  That’s where we join pastor Ed Taylor today on Abounding Grace.

Whether it’s at the office, in school, at home or even in church… we’ll face opposition and tribulation.  And that’s usually a sign we’re on the right track.  The enemy opposes the work of the Lord, and so if we’re doing what God wants us to do… we’ll be opposed at some point in time.  So how do we persevere?  That’s the question we’ll present today on Abounding Grace.

Pastor Ed Taylor will give attention to verses 13-52, where we find Paul’s first recorded sermon. Back in the first century there were those thoroughly convinced that the way to heaven was by observing the law.  That sort of thinking is still around but nothing could be further from the truth!  Paul wants to make it clear that justification is by turning and trusting.  Turning from your sin and trusting in Jesus alone!

What makes a good sermon?  Well I think you’d agree there needs to be teaching from the Bible, and it would be a good idea to include the Gospel message too!  Paul’s first recorded sermon features just that.  It’s a survey of the Old and New Testaments up until that point in time, and also he emphasized the Gospel.  It’s a powerful sermon and one we’ll look at today.

We’re about to continue our series, “Be the Church,” a study in the book of Acts.  As we get back into chapter thirteen today, we’re following Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey.  You might think of it as a journal of their fascinating trip.  God may or may not call you to leave your home and go to a foreign land, but whether you’re in Africa, Aurora, or Philadelphia… you’re to be involved in the ministry and sharing the gospel.

I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been misunderstood and had someone falsely accuse us of something. Worse yet is when people believe it, without even talking to you! Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see that this even happened to the apostle Paul. And how he dealt with it will provide helpful guidance for the next time it happens to us.

Your mission should you choose to accept it…. Is to get on mission with Jesus!  God is doing a great work today, rescuing and redeeming mankind, and we can be apart of it.  That comes to our attention in today’s study of Acts chapter thirteen on Abounding Grace.  Pastor Ed Taylor will have a look at the first three verses, and tell us about ministry that is to the Lord and for the Lord, using the examples of Mary and Martha.
