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!

The greatest meal in the world isn’t found in an uptown five-star restaurant. It be isn’t grandmas’ 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. This table never sits idle or alone; chairs surround it.

In this foundational sermon on the purpose of the church by Pastor Ed Young, we discover what each chair around the table represents and identify 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.

JUDGEMENT — doesn't the word just sound, well, "judgy?" Ominous and cruel, we equate this word with prejudice, corruption and even hate. Yet, there's a perfect and impartially fair judgement coming born out of God's love.

In this message, Ed Young opens the pages of Scripture to reveal the truth about the ultimate judgement. And he shows us that when we view it from an eternal perspective, we can begin to experience the most out of life each and every day.

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 to 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 and do them according to God's perspective.
