At the heart of God is creativity. It just takes a brief look around our world to see the evidence of that creativity. As creatures made in the image of our creative Creator, we can tap into the power of creativity to get the most out of life. In this message, Pastor Ed Young gives us eight powerful truths about creativity that can change our lives. And when we learn to Cre-8 the way God wants us to, we discover what a life of purpose is all about!

If we take an honest look around our world, we’ll see that in many ways it is upside down. What is right is seen as wrong; what is wrong is seen as right. But when we live our lives upside down, we have the wrong perspective and aren’t able to experience life the way God wants us to. In this Easter message, Pastor Ed Young shows us what it takes to right our lives. And through a unique and artistic illustration, he reminds us that there is nothing we can do on our own, no matter how hard we try. It is only when we hand our lives to Jesus that we can turn from upside down to right side up!

“If I ever went to church, the roof would cave in!” It’s a thought many people have. It’s one that reveals a lot about what we think of ourselves and of our relationship with God. But what we often miss is how great that event could actually be in the life of so many people. In this message, Pastor Ed Young takes a look at a biblical account of a roof actually caving in. And as we learn how four men did everything they could to get their friend to Jesus, we discover the challenge and potential we all have to get those we know through the roof.

Christianity is the world’s largest religion. Yet, it’s not really about religion at all. What it’s really about is a relationship with Jesus. In this message, Ed Young unpacks a confrontation in the New Testament where Jesus talks about the difference between religion and relationship. He shows us how a life of hypocrisy can actually keep us from understanding the power of a relationship with God. And we discover that when it comes to a relationship with Christ, it’s more about our heart than about any list of rules.

Hypocrisy is everywhere. But is it something we recognize in ourselves as much as we can point it out in others? Or do we elevate and convince ourselves that hypocrisy is one thing we don’t struggle with it? In this message, Ed Young takes a look at one of the strongest parables in Scripture. And as he unpacks Jesus’ words of warning about hypocrisy, we discover that our own position before God determines so much of our potential in life.

“I don’t go to church, because the church is full of hypocrites.” It’s one of the biggest hurdles that keeps people from church, and one that people use to keep their distance from God. But the truth is that hypocrisy is more than a barrier when it comes to faith. It’s something we all deal with every day. In this message, Pastor Ed Young looks at what Jesus had to say about this potent topic. And we discover how admitting our own hypocrisy – in every realm of life – is the prerequisite to experiencing true influence and authenticity.

The Old Testament book of Ruth is a powerful reminder and picture of what true love is all about. Throughout its pages, we are shown examples that move us beyond emotion and reveal a love played out on the rugged plains of reality. In this message, Pastor Ed Young looks at one of the most powerful types of love we can experience. And as he shows us the foundation of hesid love in the book of Ruth, we learn how our love for God and his love for us can stick through anything.

True love communicates more than we can ever fully comprehend. It lets us know who we are and reminds us of our value. And often, that message is shared in unique and powerful ways. In this message, Pastor Ed Young looks at the story of Ruth from a different perspective. And as he reflects on the names of those involved, we discover that what’s in a name can actually point us to the truth of God’s love for us.

It’s the fairy tale ending we all want to hear. It’s the ideal ending to a perfectly crafted story. But is ‘happily ever after’ the kind of ending we’re designed and created to discover? In this message, Pastor Ed Young takes another look at a unique and powerful love story found in the Old Testament. As he unpacks each character, we discover that ‘happily ever after’ requires some very strategic and very intentional steps. And when we are willing to do things God’s way, it’s the kind of ending we can all experience.

Love is powerful. It’s unpredictable. It’s something that can change our lives. And it’s something much more potent than an emotion! Through this thought-provoking look at the story of Ruth and Boaz, Ed Young shows us how to experience the right relationships. And he reminds us that when it comes to finding the ultimate love, it’s all about getting in the right rhythm!
