We all have weaknesses in our lives, things in our lives we wish we could change, perhaps even resent—too shy, don’t like our appearance, don’t have enough money, struggle with depression, have a disability. But what if God has a special, beneficial purpose for your weakness? In this message, Pastor Brent will show us how Christ’s power works through our weaknesses.

You ever notice how easy it is for our thoughts to spiral out of control? You make a mistake, and your mind tells you you’re hopeless; your girlfriend breaks-up with you, you must be unlovable; your boss wants to talk, you think you’re a failure. The battle to overcome negative and anxious thoughts and be at peace is fought squarely in the mind. In this message Pastor Brent will examine what it means to take every thought captive using the weapons of God so we can start winning the battle for the mind.

For many of us money is a constant struggle. We worry about it, argue over it, and wonder where it all went. But God doesn’t just want us to survive; God wants us to abound—not only in our finances, but in every area of life. In this message Pastor Brent will examine what God says about money so that we’ll be rich in every way.

In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul says that in Christ we are a new creation. While this verse is encouraging, it also raises huge questions. If I’m a new creation, then why do I still have struggles? If I’m a new creation, why do I still sin? In this message Pastor Brent will teach us what changes in our relationship with Christ (and what doesn’t) and how to win the battle against the destructive desires and habits in our life.

Discouragement can be crippling, but it doesn’t have to keep us from experiencing God’s good plan for our lives. Paul was pressed in by all kinds of troubles but he didn’t lose heart. How? In this message Pastor Brent shows us how to persevere through discouragement so God’s awesome power can be seen through our weaknesses.

Though we don’t always know why we’re suffering, we can know that God is with us and that He will comfort us. The Apostle Paul suffered, but He also experienced God’s life-changing comfort in the midst of his great struggles. In this message Pastor Brent will show us how pain can be used for a greater purpose, and how God’s comfort can overflow out of our lives into the lives of others.

New Year, New You! Have you set your New Years Resolution? Maybe it is lose weight? Eat healthier? Maybe you want to learn a new hobby? New Year’s Resolutions are great, but they can’t make us new. There is only one way that we can be made new, and that is by a personal relationship with Jesus. He provided a way for us to be new people; not new in terms of an upgrade like on a phone or computer or new in the sense of a better version of ourselves. It’s new in the sense that a fundamental change has taken place at the core of who we are. Join us at Edinbrook this Sunday as we talk about what it means to be Made New.

How do we respond when life turns upside down—the betrayal of a loved one, or an unnerving medical diagnosis? Is it possible to have peace or hope when we enter the storms that shake us to our core? In this special Christmas message Pastor Brent Hall will unpack how Joseph reacted when he received life-changing news—it’s different from what we might think.

What is the Good News, and what can I do about it? The message of Christmas doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s a simple, powerful story. One of the key ways to experience God’s peace in your life is sharing the story with others. We will bring clarity to what the Good News is and how sharing this simple message can change someone’s life forever.

One thing is for sure, Americans are stressed out. Studies show that stress is at near-record levels in the US. Yet, the Bible says that Jesus came to bring peace on earth, a major theme of Christmas. So how do we experience the peace that Christ came to bring? This week we will look at God’s anti-stress recipe. The good news is that God promises to give us peace whatever our circumstances this Christmas season.
