So when’s the last time you’ve shared your testimony?  What do you say and how do you say it?  Will it be well received or will they get angry with us?  Opportunities are all around us, whether it’s on an airplane, waiting in the doctor’s office, or after work!  But will we have the courage to say what needs to be said?  Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn from the apostle Paul’s experiences that will serve to help us share our testimony and the Gospel.

Pastor Ed Taylor is about to finish up Acts chapter 21.  I think we’ve all shared this common experience… someone we know is gossiping about us behind our back, spreading vicious lies.  That really hurts doesn’t it?  Or maybe we’ve been on the other side spreading lies, slander or gossip!  We’ll learn a thing or two in the passage before us.  A small group of Jews from Asia were spreading a false lie about the Apostle Paul.  And he almost lost his life because of it!

As believers we recognize we’re save by grace through faith, and that’s a total work of God.  He gets all the glory for that right!  But did you realize, your growth and the good in your life, comes from God too?  All glory is to go to God, for His work in our lives.  Our sufficiency is from the Lord.  And that’s the emphasis of today’s Abounding Grace as pastor Ed Taylor dives back into Second Corinthians three.
