Identity. Capacity. Security. All of these, as this series on Ephesians has revealed, are possible through a relationship with Jesus Christ. But there's one other aspect of the Christian life that many people fail to fully understand – peace. In this message, Pastor Ed Young reveals the truth about peace, and he shows us how the person, primacy, and potential of peace will help us truly live out the life God wants us to live.

A revolution is a change for the better. When it comes to the revolution God wants us to have, that “better” is the result of something most of us have a hard time understanding - grace. In this message, though, Pastor Ed Young takes a look at grace and shows us just how much better life is when we experience the grace of God. And we discover that grace is the one thing that provides eternal security!

To experience a revolution in our lives, we must first understand who we are created to be. But it goes far beyond knowledge. We must put that knowledge into action. Pastor Ed Young builds on the first message from this series and shows us in this message how our God-given identity opens up to experience God-driven change. It's not just about knowing who we are in Christ; it's about reaching our full capacity in what He has created us to do!

A revolution is a change for the best. But without the right starting point; without the right catalyst,a revolution can never truly take place. That's why, in the first installment of this series, Pastor EdYoung takes us back to the only starting point we need in order to experience the best in our lives.And as we look at the revolution God wants us to experience, we discover that it can only begin when we take hold of our true identity.

Pastor Ed Young interviewed Pastor Denny Duron and discussed how he used football to reachpeople for Jesus. God used football as an instrument to spread the goodness of Jesus seen throughthe life of Pastor Duron.

What do you think of when you see a Christmas Tree? During this inspiring Christmas message,Pastor Ed explains how the Christmas tree and its accessories actually have a deep biblical meaning.

God in His goodness has forged a path through life's pain. In fact, our freedom was purchased in the sacrificial offering of Jesus on the cross. The key to unlocking the path lies in our trust and relinquishing control to God. Pastor Ed Young discusses the topic of surrendering our pain and lives to God. When we do so, He not only establishes our path but also illuminates our path. In this surrender, clarity and purpose unfold, revealing a transformative journey shaped by the profound wisdom and grace of God.

In this powerful message from Ed and Lisa Young, taken from their new book, A Path Through Pain, they share their personal account of the last 2.5 years after the death of their oldest daughter, LeeBeth. This talk speaks to finding stability and hope in life's most challenging moments. Drawing from Hebrews 6:19, they share how hope acts as a steadfast anchor for our souls. Watch and discover how the promises of God can be the anchor you need most in your life.

The question that perplexes most people is the coexistence of a loving God and the suffering of people. Many wonder how a loving God can allow bad things to happen to good people. The specific reasons behind our suffering may ultimately be a mystery, but it calls for trust in an all-powerful and all-knowing God. Through the example of Jesus as He walked on earth as a man and as He experienced pain and suffering, He exemplified endurance and a model of trusting God's plan. In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young delivers a heartfelt message of trusting God in the face of pain.

Can you change an unhealthy family cell into a healthy, godly cell? Pastor Ed Young eloquently breaks down how cell structure and formation are analogous to family order. God provided a place of protection and guidance for children that includes not just the home but the church also to develop the children into fully functional and successful individuals.

God, in his divine wisdom, meticulously crafted the concept of family, mirroring the intricate and purposeful design seen in the very structure of cells. In this message, we gain insight into God's system for the success, function, and well-being of all members of the family. Pastor Ed Young dives into the sacred nature of the God-ordained and intentional roles of the family and church.

We can find ourselves unwittingly caught in the crossfire, vulnerable and unprepared. Thankfully, we are provided with spiritual battle gear and the necessary training partner to equip ourselves and fight from a place of victory. Pastor Ed Young scrutinizes the effectiveness of our preparation and encourages us to engage in the ongoing battle against the devil.

We find ourselves engaged in a spiritual battle, a conflict that none of us can escape. This war demands a choice: either we confront it with purpose and strategy, or we fight ill-prepared. Thankfully, God provides a formidable arsenal of armor that empowers us to emerge victorious in this struggle. Pastor Ed Young, in this week's message, dives into the protective gear that not only shields us but also infuses us with divine strength.

We live in spiritual conflict, a clash between light and darkness, good versus evil whether we will admit it or not. God has meticulously crafted armor to protect and empower us and we choose to put it on. Pastor Ed Young elaborates on the Ephesians 6 passage that describes the potency of our battle gear and the freedom it bestows on us as we step out into our purpose, thoroughly equipped for the battle ahead.

We stand poised for battle against our adversary, the devil. In this message, Pastor Ed discusses the spiritual battles we face against the enemy. He speaks to the strongholds Christ followers encounter, the strategies God provides, and the enemy's schemes. Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we can overcome these challenges and live a life of victory!

Each of us is entrenched in a battle between the forces of God and the machinations of the devil. The implications span across our families, marriages, and children if unequipped, but God has designed a blueprint for success. In this message on spiritual strategies and strongholds, Pastor Ed Young explores the plan God has for us to not only be on guard but to ultimately win.

All of us deal with authority issues. We don't like to talk about it, but it's something we all struggle with in one way or another. Not to mention, authority issues are everywhere; they're in your marriage and mine, they're in your family, your family of origin, they're at your job, they're on the team. But the good news is that God is a God of authority. He always works with authority. There is a chain of command. God, being God, whether you believe it or not, is sovereign. He's omnipotent. And He places people in our lives, authority figures in our lives, to mold us and to shape us into the kind of people that He desires. And yet so often in our lives, we want to push back from the purpose that God has for our lives, which is for us to submit to authority. So in this message, I want us to take a look at a couple different places mentioned in Scripture so that we can learn more about how God wants us to deal with our authority issues.

In this message, we're going to take a look at Saul and how he became king. The Israelites were begging for God to give them a king like all the other nations. In other words, God as their King wasn't good enough. So even though God's perfect will would have been for Him to remain as their King, He granted them Saul as their king according to His permissive will. The difference between those two wills is what we're going to talk about today, because I want you to learn how to live in more fear of rejection. No one likes rejection, right? Of course not! But if you're asking for something that isn't God's best, rejection might just be the best thing for you. We'll learn more about that as we read the story of Saul becoming king and hopefully learn how seek God's perfect will above our own.

Have you ever put God in a box? I hate to confess it, but I have. I've put God in a box. A lot of times, we don't even realize we're putting God in a box, but that's exactly what we're doing. We think, “I have this neat little box and, and I'll just carry God around in it, and I'll sort of use God for myself. When it's convenient, I'll take him out and use him when I need a blessing. When I need something good in my life, when I need something supernatural, sort of an add on, I'll use God.” In this message, we're talking about that very subject. It's tempting for us to use God, but we're going to find out that God doesn't want you and me to use Him. He does however want us to remain and to be usable. In other words, God wants to use you. God wants to use me. By the end of this message, I want you to be able to figure out whether or not you're usable to God, or if you're more focused on using Him.

In the midst of this mayhem we are facing in the world today- in the midst of the bad stuff, the negative stuff going on at your school, at your office, around your neighborhood, in your context, in your social media feed - in the midst of all that can you hear the voice of God? I mean, people say sometimes, “Oh yeah, God talked to me.” But what do you mean by that? “God showed me. God is communicating with me.” What are you talking about when you say that? You mean the God of the universe wants to communicate and call and talk with us? Yes. The answer is yes. Listening to God is something that we shouldn't run away from; instead, it's something that we should lean into. I'm going to unpack that a little bit today, how can we – I'm talking about you, I'm talking about me – how can we hear the voice of God?

Over the next several weeks, we're going to looking at the writings of Samuel in Scripture, because Samuel was a chief protagonist during his time. Specifically in this message, we're going to take a closer look at what he wrote about Hannah and the kind of parent she was. Whether you're a parent now with children in your home, a parent whose children have moved out, or someone who wants to become a parent someday, this message is for you, because we can all learn how to be better parents that honor God with the way we parent our children.

We've all been there at some point — the time when we look around and see nothing but helplessness and hopelessness. It leaves us reeling in utter dismay as we think, "How will it ever get better?" In a real sense, it's our very own "Death Valley." In this powerful message, Pastor Ed Young helps us all discover that no matter our circumstances or even as hopeless and helpless as the situation may seem, God can and will resurrect us to experience life in the face of death.

Many say that the birth of freedom occurred on July 4, 1776, when our nation's forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence — but this statement is false. As crucial as this nominal event was for our great country, freedom long outdates it. Ultimate freedom was birthed over 2,000 years ago on a cross outside Jerusalem. Had it not been for Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, we would live in a very different America. In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches what the Bible says about the colors of freedom and how they apply to our lives.

What would Jesus say to Donald Trump, the most polarizing yet popular person in our land? Pastor Ed Young dives into this exciting message of truth and wisdom from the Bible delivering a timely word for all of us. Jesus would probably speak to former President Trump about his pride and remind him that Christ is the answer to all the world's problems. He would reiterate it's time to “fire yourself” and don't try to do deals with God. The most important thing he would say to Donald Trump is, “Have you been saved?”

In this message, Pastor Ed Young focuses on the love and kindness that Jesus would display toward Tiger Woods if they had a conversation.

Additionally, Jesus would offer Tiger a new course to follow, suggesting that with Jesus as his guide, Tiger would have the ultimate “caddy” to help him navigate life's challenges. We can all join Tiger on the new course as we commit our lives to Christ.

If someone is drowning, what do you do? Do you respond? Or would you wait for someone else to help? In this message, Pastor Ed clarifies the four steps of rescuing a sinking soul. The rescue crew never stops; they are constantly seeking and searching. Let's discover tips on sharing with others the only ticket to Heaven - Jesus.

Once Jesus has rescued us, we are called to help rescue others. Why is it that so many people struggle to share with others the rescuing power of Jesus? Every day there are people all around us who are drowning and don't even realize it! During this message, Pastor Ed Young unpacks why we must use our sphere of influence to reach others for Jesus.

People can't rescue themselves, but God has a plan! In this talk, Pastor Ed Young teaches us how to simply communicate THE GOOD NEWS, the life-changing message of Jesus. However, before we talk about the Good News, we must speak of the BAD NEWS. We all fall short of God and are separated from Him. The WORST NEWS is we can't bridge the gap on our own, and we are destined to spend forever apart from God unless we're rescued. But here's THE BEST NEWS: we can share Jesus with anyone at any time, no matter how far they seem from God. Sound intimidating? Not after this message, as we get trained to share our faith in Christ with others!

Played across the ancient world, Tug of War is one of the oldest games known to man. Pitting two teams' strengths against one another, it remains a popular sport today. In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that we engage in a cosmic game of Tug of War the moment we realize that we are sinking in our sin and accept Christ as our Savior. The evil one doesn't want us to rescue the lost. He tosses rational lies for not doing what God has tasked us to do, tugging us in the wrong direction. We have a culture in crisis, a cause commanded, and a world in need of a crew committed to rescuing others.

In any rescue situation, the mission is always to save lives at all costs, to do the seemingly impossible, offering a second chance to those facing imminent physical peril. The same is true when it comes to our spiritual health. In fact, our need to be rescued by God is even more crucial to our ultimate survival. The Bible is an anthology with a central theme woven throughout the canals of time — rescue. God didn't leave us to sink and drown in our sin and depravity. In His great love, He sent the ultimate lifeline to rescue humanity. He sent Jesus Christ to live perfectly, die sacrificially, and rise bodily, claiming victory over the grave and offering us the eternal hope of heaven. In this message, Pastor Ed Young reminds us to fix our focus on our God-given duty to seek and save lost people. He shows us that, while there's a culture in crisis, Christians hold the true lifeline, the only real hope of rescue, and the ring is the thing!

The greatest meal in the world isn't found in an uptown five-star restaurant. It isn't grandma's recipe or even a home-cooked meal. It's the Bread of Life — Jesus Christ, best served at a table near you — the local church. In this foundational message by Pastor Ed Young, we discover what each chair around the table identifies and represents our various roles as we pull up our seats. And we see how this cosmic carbohydrate transforms everything in the lives of those who show up hungry for this soul-satisfying meal.

God is a God of ideas. It was His idea to create the earth; it was His idea to make us. A terrible idea condemned His creation, but the most excellent idea has redeemed humankind. In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that the ability to fully see God's idea for our lives is utterly incomprehensible to our finite minds because God's idea is just that amazing, that phenomenally cataclysmic! Obviously, the enemy wants us to settle for second best, to never discover God's greatest solution for our pollution. This leaves us with a choice. Will we choose man's provenly failed plan or God's perfect agenda? Go with the idea of eternal life, the soul-winning strategy of salvation through Christ!

Mayday is an international radio distress signal used by ships and aircrafts. It's a word used to signal a life-threatening emergency, letting others know that help is desperately needed. Maybe you're at a place in your life right now where you need to say, “Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.” Maybe you're in an emergency situation that makes you feel like your life is out of control. You're in a tailspin. You're sinking, and you don't know how to get out of the mess you're in. Thankfully, there is hope for salvation, and that hope is found in our Savior, Jesus Christ. All we have to do is cry out to Him and He will save us. So if you're at a point today where you need saving, I want you to consider these four reasons why you should call out “Mayday” today.

Courage is a scarce commodity in today's world. It takes courage to face the ordinary challenges of life. God will give us strength and enable us to live courageously. In this message, Pastor Ed dives into Scripture using the life of Simon Peter and puts handles on how we can be courageous in our daily lives.

If you want to learn to be courageous and stand firm in your convictions no matter the cost, this message is for you. Get ready to be inspired as Pastor Ed Young delivers a powerful message on the need to have courage as we follow Jesus. In this talk, Pastor Ed draws from the story of the children of Israel to demonstrate how easily courage can crumble and how God wants us to possess all the promises He has for us. We learn that courage is essential for all believers and are urged to regularly increase our courage quotient and trust the Holy Spirit to work within us. Don't miss out on the opportunity to be motivated and challenged to live a life of courage for God.

Are you held captive by shame? Does it shape your thoughts, decisions, and future? In this message, Pastor Ed Young sheds light on the path to breaking free from shame. By forgiving yourself and others while embracing the transformative power of God, you can reclaim your freedom and live a life of peace! Embrace the freedom and joy that come with letting go, through the power of Jesus.

One of the most difficult challenges we face is forgiving people who have hurt us. Forgiveness is unnatural but can be unbelievable when we realize it is more for us than for the offender! In this message, Pastor Ed Young helps us discover the freedom that comes with forgiveness!

Do you deal with waves of shame consistently? Shame comes from various sources, and who or what we listen to determines the amount of shame that we will be shackled to. Pastor Ed Young explores the story of Saul as we find freedom from the cycle of shame. It is time to deal with shame and live in freedom and peace, free from the destruction of shame and regret.

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of shame? The enemy wants to keep you captive in guilt and stuck in your shame. But there is hope! Pastor Ed Young explores the story of Moses and how we can find the freedom and peace that Jesus offers us. It's time to break free from the crippling effects of shame and live out the amazing plans Jesus has for you!

Are you struggling with shame? Do you feel like you can't escape it? In this message, Pastor Ed Young explores the nature of shame, where it came from, and how it plays out in our lives. But there is hope; God provided a way for us to be free from shame so we can break the cycle. Don't let shame weigh you down any longer!

Today, many marriages face a constant barrage of temptation and "easy outs" — but God offers us a better way to keep romance and intimacy alive and Satan at bay. Through this dynamic message, you'll find that there's help and hope for troubled marriages as well as a challenge to make great marriages greater. Enjoy the aroma of romance with Ed and Lisa Young as they get things cooking by sharing the ultimate recipe for a healthy, vibrant marriage.

Anchors secure boats from going adrift in the wind. When they penetrate the seabed surface, suction generates resistance to secure the craft. In this message, Ed and Lisa Young ask, "What are you anchored to?" When the rogue winds and waves hit, if you have the right anchor — Jesus — He will provide stability and strength to not only survive but thrive in the storm.

Communication is an integral part of everything we do. It can go from incredibly good to terribly wrong within a matter of seconds – especially in marriage, where it isn't as much the presence of conflict that's the problem as the how - the "Okay, what next?" In this message, Ed and Lisa Young teach the do's and don'ts before saying, "I do." We'll learn that following biblical guidelines for conflict resolution will help us develop sound communication skills before it comes to saying: "We quit!"

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 them and do them according to God's perspective.
