Ed Young & Fellowship Church (Audio)

Couples in blended — or “step” — families often feel misunderstood, even in the church. They struggle with complicated child behavioral issues, battle-pitched custody fights, and difficulty finding unity in co-parenting. Threatening emotions such as guilt, shame, fear, and isolation are often overwhelming and become too much to bear. That’s why NOW is the time for these families to feel heard, helped, healed, and hopeful about the future — in fact, with Jesus, the best is yet to come!

In this sermon, Ed and Lisa Young discuss these crucial issues with Scott and Vanessa Martindale of Blended Kingdom Families. We’ll learn that, with God, we can become the most significant driving force that breaks the generational cycle of divorce. Collectively, we can propel the change our world so desperately needs, united as the restored family movement. Together, let's change the face of the modern-day blended family and forever alter history in the name of Christ!

When you're asleep, you don't know you're sleeping until you're awake — since we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, we have a lot of waking up to do!

In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that ideas have consequences — deceptive or dire ideas have destructive effects. We learn that Wokeism is a bad idea, and we must wake up to its aftermath, which originates with the enemy himself. And we’ll discover that life fires on all cylinders when we wake up to knowing the Lord. Are you woke yet still in slumber, or genuinely awake?

THE WOLF OF WOKEISM

The Wolf of Wokeism, a neo-Paganistic, neo-Marxist system, is vying for our families across this great nation. Every day, we must fight for the health and safety of our kids. But how do we slay this beast that, at times, seems so innocent while it devours the country's moral fabric?

In this talk, Pastors Ed and Lisa Young prepare us for battle, giving us practical handles on building our kids' lives on a biblical, Christ-centered worldview. We’ll discover that when we confront the Wolf of Wokeism with God’s truth, it wilts before our eyes. From victory, we praise our loving Good Shepherd, who will lead us to the greatness of God’s will.

WOKE-OLOGY
What is “woke”? In today’s culture, we are constantly hit by wave after wave of wokeism as our government and educational systems decry racism and burst all boundaries in sexuality. Even our churches shy away from addressing what being woke means and alerting us to its havoc. In this message, Pastor Ed Young dives headlong into this controversial matter, challenging us to think the way we think and teaching us how to wade past wokeism in our daily lives with biblical truths that lead us to being genuinely awake and on purpose for Christ.

What is the Christian worldview? What is the woke worldview? What is your worldview?

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young breaks down the differences between a Woke (secular) worldview and a Christian (Biblical) worldview and the importance of filtering the different areas of our lives through the lenses of what the Bible says.

What does it mean to be "Woke?" | A Biblical Perspective | Ed Young

When you look up the meaning of “Woke” on the internet, the definition is: “being alert to injustice in society, especially racism.” But what does the Bible say? In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young brings a biblical perspective to this controversial topic.

There is so much confusion regarding what it means to be “woke.” Some of us would say, “I’m not woke,” others would say, “I’m pseudo woke,” and some of us would consider ourselves “woke.” So how do we find out the true meaning of “woke”?

Pastor Ed helps us define the “woke” worldview by looking at its values: racial justice, critical race theory, social justice, systemic racism, gender identity, and sexuality, as well as its foundations rooted in the teachings of Karl Marx (Marxism/Communism), Friedrich Nietzsche (Critical Theory), and Sigmund Freud (Post Modernism).

Pastor Ed shows us the contradictions of the “woke” worldview and challenges us to adopt a Christian worldview founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What if God could use your story to change someone else's life? In this sermon, Ed and Lisa Young use stories from their recent roadtrip as an analogy for how God has given us each of us the power of influence and how God can use our story to make an impact on someone else. Learn about the importance of using your gifts and talents for God's glory and be encouraged to share your story with others!

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 sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches what the Bible says about the colors of freedom and how they apply to our lives.

These are tumultuous times. Due to the shortage of materials and manpower, it's more costly to build than ever before. But despite the spike in prices, many courageous people are still building.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches that despite the far less than optimal conditions, Jesus is still building His church! He went on record and said, “...I will build My Church." Why is this so monumental to our lives? His Church is the only entity that upholds the transcendent values recorded in Scripture. That's why He asks us to be about the building of what He built.

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 sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches that the ability 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!
