Mary was a young woman whose life was changed forever when God moved. It was unexpected, maybe even seemed a little crazy. But through the crazy, the unexpected, we see a life of obedience. That practice of obedience didn't just start when the angel showed up. It was a lifestyle of preparation through obedience. Join us Sunday as we kick off this new series Prepare Him Room and look at the life of Mary, mother of Jesus.

Yeshua is Jesus’ Hebrew name. The meaning of this name reminds us that there is hope no matter our situation, that Yahweh is able to save us from the most terrifying storms of life. In other words, we don’t have to lives characterized by fear and worry. What if we truly lived lives of confidence and hope? In this message we will discuss the meaning of the name Yeshua, and why we don’t have to fear when we’re in the storm.

Let’s start with the bad news. From the moment we are born, there is something wrong with us. We have a condition. It’s a sin condition. It’s a disease we can’t heal on our own. Although we may try in our own strength, we simply cannot make ourselves right. But the good news is that Yahweh has a solution. And the solution can be found in who He is – Yahweh Tsidkenu. Yahweh Tsidkenu means the Lord our Righteousness. You see, Yahweh raised up someone who was “right” to deal with our “wrongness” once and for all. Come learn how His righteousness can become your righteousness.

God wants us to know that He is a loving father, but many of us struggle to believe we are truly loved by Him as a child. We try to do what is good and right, tiptoeing our lives before God so that He will accept us. But do children tiptoe? Mine don’t! In this message, we will discuss what the Father’s love looks like and ask ourselves whether we are sons, daughters, or slaves.

Yahweh doesn’t just want to walk with us through our pain and hurts in life, He wants to do something about it—He wants to heal. Many of us aren’t even willing to admit that there is pain in our lives. The problem is that if we don’t deal with it, it will usually fester and lead to bigger problems down the road: addictions, relational turmoil, disorders. Yahweh doesn’t want that for you. He wants to help you heal and overcome. In this message, we will discuss three ways Yahweh Rapha helps us to find emotional healing.

All of us need direction in life from time to time. Do I take that job, do I say yes or no to my kid’s request, how do I heal my marriage? Let’s be honest, sometimes it seems there is no clear answer. So what do we do when we don’t have the answers? In this message, we will examine Psalm 23 and discuss what to do when we don’t know what to do.

We all have needs. Some needs are somewhat common and superficial, but every person also has deep, personal desires. The good news is that we have a God who is not distant. Yahweh is with us. He sees our needs and can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts… if we trust Him. In this message, we will look at the ways God provides for His people and the condition for Yahweh acting on our behalf.

Did you know that when you read the Old Testament in the English language God’s name is being covered up? Your translation most likely says “LORD.” While this is a generic term for God (a term used for human kings as well), this is not the actual name God revealed to Moses, the name by which God calls Himself throughout the Bible. In this message, we will look at God’s actual name, discuss why translations cover it up and talk about the significance of such a name.

Let’s be honest, we all wear masks at times—not physical masks, but invisible masks that allow us to hide our true selves from others. Sadly, wearing masks is especially true in churches where we falsely assume that to be a Christian means we don’t have any struggles. We think we’ll be judged if we are seen for who we really are. But what if God’s plan for the church is different? What if the church is to be a place where it’s safe and expected to have struggles? What if Edinbrook could be a church where you could actually be the real you, loved and accepted as we are in the messy struggle of pursuing Christ and finding healing together? In this message, we’ll look at why we wear masks and how we can all foster an environment where we’re invited into authentic community.

Sometimes God calls us to see a need and then meet that need - to go beyond our seats and act. Behind the heart of serving lies something deeper. According to Jesus, serving is the secret to greatness. In Matthew 23, he said, “The greatest among you will be your servant.” In this message, we will look to the ultimate servant – Jesus – and discover the five qualities that make a servant great. You may just find that serving will transform your life in great ways.
