Many have tried their hand at marriage in every way but God's way. He has an ultimate vision and plan for every marriage, but so does the enemy! In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that God's vision for marriage is far more profound and much broader than today's culture can even begin to comprehend. Why? Because it's hard work, and anything of lasting value doesn't come easy. But when we're willing to work, the hardest things in life, such as marital success, become the greatest things when we view and do them according to God's perspective.★ Support this podcast ★

Most people use navigation assistance for turn-by-turn directions to where they need to go. When we go the wrong way or blow through an exit, they often instruct us to make a U-turn to get back on the right path. In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young unpacks what the Bible teaches about making the U-turns of repentance in our lives when we've gotten off track with God. Making a true spiritual 180 glorifies Jesus, and when we maximize repentance, we minimize sin and head toward living out His absolute best.★ Support this podcast ★

Most every contract, covenant, and commitment follows the same pattern. You do “this”; I'll do “that”. It sounds simple, but because we've dissed “this” and fall flat on “that”, now it takes legions of lawyers and large lumps of money just to secure “this and that”. In this message, Ed and Lisa Young teach from Matthew 6:33, a verse all about "this and that." God tells us, "If you do ‘this'... I'll do ‘that'...." So, what do we have to do? Seek first God's kingdom and righteousness above all else because when we do, God will add "all things" to us — and if it's God's addition, we're in a very blessed position!★ Support this podcast ★

In the New Testament book of Acts, the word “witness” is used 29 times — but what does that really mean? It simply means to tell the truth about what we've seen and heard. In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from three stories that prove God's calling on our lives to witness the truth about Christ. It's not a matter of "if" we'll witness, but of "when". It's not an option; it's a command straight from Jesus Himself!  When we partner with God, to tell the truth, as willing witnesses, the seeking Savior will place seeking sinners in our paths time and again. The question is, are you available?★ Support this podcast ★

But does it always turn out the way we expect in the end? In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the epic romance story of Hosea and Gomer that mirrors God's romance with you and me. As the story unfolds, we discover something powerful and tangible about God's love in our own lives today. No matter how far from God we may find ourselves, there is nothing He won't do to get us back — even from the auction block of sin and shame. We may find ourselves ripped and stripped by sin, but in the end, we can be gripped by God's grace through the sacrificial love of Christ.★ Support this podcast ★

What do you do when you are in a Lion's Den? Because lions are everywhere — they're prowling around, ready to pounce on our God-given purpose so that we cave in to compromise. So how do we gain the courage to stand firm in our faith? In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the book of Daniel. A man of great resolve, we can learn a lot from Daniel's refusal to compromise his beliefs and courage to stand firm. He was no superhero; he had no special powers — he was human just like us. His confidence in the face of potential execution came from keeping God first. We, too, can have the same courage if we fix our focus on Christ. As we stand for what we believe within our cultural climate, we'll exit the lion's den unscathed and be blessed in unbelievable ways.★ Support this podcast ★

Is there a snake in your house? In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that many of us have a snake in our house, and don’t even realize it. The snake is Marxism and is a secular philosophy that views life as a power struggle between the oppressed and the oppressor.

With his eyes gouged out, people made fun of this muscular man and his God as he was led through the courtyard. Thousands pressed in on him in the facility, when, suddenly, without warning, he turned his face heavenward and said, "O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Just this once..."

And we discover how to "take a stand" by filtering our thoughts and actions through the lens of God's absolute truth.

Truth. This word is should be sacred, unchanging, and absolute. Yet, in today's pluralistic, feelings-based, politically correct culture, it's has gotten lost along the way. Instead, we look for truth in all the wrong places.

In this message Pastor, Ed Young teaches us how to live in the fear of rejection through the life of Moses. Moses started as a somebody in Egypt. God took him to a nobody. Then he realized God could use anybody. It’s time that we said, God, I’m not somebody, I'm a nobody before You, I receive You Jesus, because You can use anybody.

"Fear not" is the number one command in the Bible. In our frailty, God knew that it would be a significant factor in our lives. Although some fear is healthy, much of it isn't, it's toxic and keeps us from experiencing God's best for our lives. This message helps us stop deifying fear and remember the magnitude and almighty strength of the One who goes before us every day.

We all want to make a difference. We all want what we do to matter — until life gets in the way, and we find ourselves running and hiding from our mistakes.
