Marriage is a partnership before God. We have different roles, but you're equals. In any relationship where you have two imperfect people, there's going to be disagreements. You'll see things differently and you're going to feel about things differently. In these moments you have to willingly work together and learn to compromise. A good battle is objective, honest, healthy and constructive. Listen in to learn how submissiveness in a marriage isn't one sided, rather equal and voluntary.

We live in a culture that puts a premium on outward physical appearance. They want you to be perpetually young. There's more people going in for cosmetic surgery now, than ever before. As believers where should we stand on this trend? According to scripture, beauty comes from within and no amount of alteration can cover up bad character. Today Pastor Ed tackles this issue from a Biblical perspective, as he examines the relevance of Peters text and how it applies to us today.

Jesus was falsely accused, endured beatings, scourging, mocking, and was eventually crucified. All of these sufferings were unjust because Christ was an innocent man. However, through Jesus’s suffering, the Lord was glorified and man’s redemption was made possible. In today’s message, Pastor Ed teaches us that sometimes God’s people will be treated unfairly. However, whenever we respond to unjust treatment in a Christ-like manner, the Lord will be glorified and the unsaved will be drawn to God.

Some say that respect isn’t given, but it is earned. However, God calls His people to a higher more gracious standard than this. In today’s message, Pastor Ed teaches us that Jesus asks us to honor everyone, including and most especially those who have been put in authority over us. Differences of opinion or contradictory political leanings should never be used as reasons spew hateful words. The world is watching us. As we demonstrate graciousness and kindness to all, the Lord is glorified.

As born again Christians, the Holy Spirit has been given us a new heart that desires to please God. However, if we cease to feed our new spirit man but instead foolishly make room for the old man, we will continue to live as prisoners to sin. In today’s message, Pastor Ed admonishes us to not allow ourselves to once again get entangled in fleshly pursuits. If we fix our eyes on Jesus and remember that this world and its pleasures are temporary, we can put to death the works of the flesh and its carnality.

The moment a person gives their life to Jesus, this world ceases to be their home. In today’s message, Pastor Ed teaches us that because Christians have been given new hearts with new Godly desires, they will feel like aliens in this fallen world. All of God’s people eagerly wait for the day when they will be called home by their Heavenly Father. Until then, Christians must recognize that they are simply passing through this world, but are here to tell others about the promised heavenly Kingdom for those who would believe and to give Jesus glory.

What is the church of Jesus Christ? In today’s message, Pastor Ed teaches us that the church is not a building made of brick and mortar. Jesus’s church is an living organism made up of His people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. While each member of the church has important individual function, all of the members of the Body of Christ have a spiritual connection and unity that crosses all cultural boundaries. In other words, the church is the collective family of God that exists to love God and do Christ’s will on earth.

Do you struggle with unforgiveness? Have you ever wished to hurt someone because they first hurt you? In today’s message, Pastor Ed explains that whenever we want to exact revenge on another person in order to hurt them, we are not acting in a Christ-like manner. Malice, or any action with intent to harm, is not like our Savior. Jesus loves even when we disappoint Him in our sin, when we do not represent Him well, or even when we deny that He exists altogether. God calls us to love like Him and to be kind even when we have been mistreated.

Jesus demonstrated just how much He loved us by dying on the cross even though we had yet to turn from our sin. From this extravagantly loving act, we can only conclude that God’s love is not earned, but freely given. In today’s message, Pastor Ed teaches us that we are called to love as Christ has loved us. When we love as Jesus loves us, we do so with a sincere motive. We don’t love in order to get something in return. God’s love is also not based on behavior or results. In other words, Jesus’s love in us is supernatural.
