In Pastor Ed Young’s message entitled, “What Would Jesus Say To Tiger Woods” he focuses on the love and kindness that Jesus displays toward the pain Tiger has experienced. Jesus would recognize Tiger’s abilities, including his concentration and competitiveness. Jesus would encourage him to focus on Christ. Additionally, Jesus would offer Tiger a new course to follow, suggesting that with Jesus as his guide, Tiger would have the ultimate “caddy” to help him navigate life’s challenges.

Courage is a scarce commodity in today’s world. It takes courage to face the ordinary challenges of life. God will give us strength and enable us to live courageously. Pastor Ed dives into Scripture using the life of Simon Peter and puts handles on how we can be courageous in our daily lives.

If you want to learn to be courageous and stand firm in your convictions no matter the cost, this message is for you. Get ready to be inspired as Pastor Ed Young delivers a powerful message on the need to have courage as we follow Jesus. In this talk, Pastor Ed draws from the story of the children of Israel to demonstrate how easily courage can crumble and how God wants us to possess all the promises He has for us. We learn that courage is essential for all believers and are urged to regularly increase our courage quotient and trust the Holy Spirit to work within us. Don't miss out on the opportunity to be motivated and challenged to live a life of courage for God.

Are you held captive by shame? Does it shape your thoughts, decisions and future? In this message, Pastor Ed Young sheds light on the path to breaking free from shame. By forgiving yourself and others while embracing the transformative power of God. You can reclaim your freedom and live a life of peace! Embrace the freedom and joy that come with letting go, through the power of Jesus.

One of the most difficult challenges we face is forgiving people who have hurt us. Forgiveness is unnatural but can be unbelievable when we realize it is more for us than for the offender! In this message, Pastor Ed Young helps us discover the freedom that comes with forgiveness!

Do you deal with waves of shame consistently? Shame comes from various sources,and who or what we listen to determines the amount of shame that we will be shackled to. Pastor Ed Young explores the story of Saul as we find freedom from the cycle of shame. It is time to deal with shame and live in freedom and peace, free from the destruction of shame and regret.

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of shame? The enemy wants to keep you captive in guilt and stuck in your shame. But there is hope! In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young explores the story of Moses and how we can find the freedom and peace that Jesus offers us. It’s time to break free from the crippling effects of shame and live out the amazing plans Jesus has for you!

Are you struggling with shame? Do you feel like you can't escape it? In this message Pastor Ed Young explores the nature of shame, where it came from, and how it plays out in our lives. But there is hope, Pastor Ed discusses how God provided a way for us to be free from shame and how we can break the cycle. Don't let shame weigh you down any longer!

If someone is drowning, what do you do? Do you respond? Or would you wait for someone else to help? In this message, Pastor Ed clarifies the four steps of rescuing a sinking soul. The rescue crew never stops: they are constantly seeking and searching. Let's discover tips on sharing with others the only ticket to Heaven, Jesus.

People can't rescue themselves, but God has a plan! In this talk, Pastor Ed Young teaches us how to simply communicate THE GOOD NEWS, the life-changing message of Jesus. However, before we talk about the Good News, we must speak of the BAD NEWS. We all fall short of God and are separate from Him. The WORST NEWS is we can't bridge the gap on our own, and we are destined to spend forever apart from God unless we're rescued. But here's THE BEST NEWS, we can share Jesus with anyone at any time, no matter how far they seem from God. Sound intimidating? Not after this message, as we get trained to share our faith in Christ with others!

Your ability to help others God has placed around you is determined by your willingness to share your rescue story with them.

Once Jesus has rescued us, we are called to help rescue others. Why is it that so many people struggle to share with others the rescuing power of Jesus? Every day there are people all around us who are drowning and don’t even realize it! During this sermon, Pastor Ed Young unpacks why we must use our sphere of influence to reach others for Jesus. The ring is the thing, the hope is the rope, pull so the house will be full!

Played across the ancient world, Tug of War is one of the oldest games known to man. Pitting two teams' strengths against one another, it remains a popular sport today. In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches that we engage in a cosmic game of Tug of War the moment we realize that we are sinking in our sin and accept Christ as our Savior. The evil one doesn’t want us to rescue the lost. He tosses rational lies for not doing what God has tasked us to do, tugging us in the wrong direction. We have a culture in crisis, a cause commanded, and a world in need of a crew committed to rescuing others.

In any rescue situation, the mission is always to save lives at all costs, to do the seemingly impossible, offering a second chance to those facing imminent physical peril. The same is true when it comes to our spiritual health. In fact, our need to be rescued by God is even more crucial to our ultimate survival.

The Bible is an anthology with a central theme woven throughout the annals of time — rescue. God didn’t leave us to sink and drown in our sin and depravity. In his great love, he sent the ultimate lifeline to rescue humanity. He sent Jesus Christ to live perfectly, die sacrificially, and rise bodily, claiming victory over the grave and offering us the eternal hope of heaven.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young reminds us to fix our focus on our God-given duty to seek and save lost people.
He shows us that, while there’s a culture in crisis, Christians hold the true lifeline, the only real hope of rescue, and the ring is the thing!

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!

wokeism #sermons #christianity #scripture

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!

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.

We can never know what the new year has in store, but one thing we can count on with confidence is that there will be a lot of travel. Over 122 million people will journey on average 275 miles per trip in cars, planes, buses...and if you're Elon Musk, well, Space X! We create distance from home upon departure and close it as we return.

In this message Pastor Ed Young teaches Christmas is a time of distance. The good news of Christmas is, God with us. He is so close, He's with us He has closed the gap and wants you to take that last step. He will come into your life and you'll live forever, as you go the distance with Him.

Most people use navigation assistance for turn-by-turn directions to where they need to go. When we go the wrong way or blow through an exit, they often instruct us to make a U-turn to get back on the right path.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young unpacks what the Bible teaches about making the U-turns of repentance in our lives when we've gotten off track with God. Making a true spiritual 180 glorifies Jesus, and when we maximize repentance, we minimize sin and head toward living out His absolute best.

Most every contract, covenant, and commitment follows the same pattern. You do “this”; I'll do “that”. It sounds simple, but because we've dissed “this” and fall flat on “that”, now it takes legions of lawyers and large lumps of money just to secure “this and that”.

In this message, Ed and Lisa Young teach from Matthew 6:33, a verse all about "this and that." God tells us, "If you do ‘this’... I'll do ‘that’...." So, what do we have to do? Seek first God's kingdom and righteousness above all else because when we do, God will add "all things" to us — and if it's God's addition, we're in a very blessed position!

In the New Testament book of Acts, the word “witness” is used 29 times — but what does that really mean? It simply means to tell the truth about what we've seen and heard.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from three stories that prove God's calling on our lives to witness the truth about Christ. It's not a matter of "if" we'll witness, but of "when". It's not an option; it's a command straight from Jesus Himself! When we partner with God, to tell the truth, as willing witnesses, the seeking Savior will place seeking sinners in our paths time and again. The question is, are you available?

Hidden treasure fascinates everyone. Intrigued by the mystery, our minds race with all the infinite possibilities: "Has it been found?" "Where is it?" "What's inside?” “Who hid it, and why?" But did you know there's also a hidden treasure to be found in the Bible? In Matthew 6, Jesus is the "X" that marks the spot to a fortune far greater than rare gems and gold — utterly authentic life-changing joy.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young unearths a simple yet profound principles that will radically change your concept of stewardship — uncovering the joy of giving and its impact, not only for today but for all eternity.

One evening, years ago, a Pharisee named Nicodemus came to see Jesus at night. They sat down together and Jesus said something to this gentleman that blew up everything he'd ever known about God.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young unpacks this meeting as Jesus used a two-word phrase, and this is probably the most well-known phrase in the Bible. He told Nicodemus, “Nicodemus, you must be ‘born again!"

Temptation is one of the most difficult and dangerous issues we face in life. It’s something that can lead us down one of two roads — either we turn from it to discover God’s purpose, or we give in and find ourselves partnering with the evil one.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young takes a look at the most challenging temptation anyone in history has ever faced. By looking at how Jesus handled and overcame it, we discover the perfect template for our own lives as well.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could see the story of the Bible in pictures, icons, and illustrations? In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young puts ten toes down and runs through the New Testament by using emoji illustrations. You'll never see the Bible the same -- so get out your sneakers and get ready to run!

You'll never see the Bible the same -- so get out your sneakers and get ready to run!

We have an infatuation over romance, our romance over romance. We have fallen in love with falling in love. But does it always turn out the way we expect in the end?

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the epic romance story of Hosea and Gomer that mirrors God's romance with you and me. As the story unfolds, we discover something powerful and tangible about God’s love in our own lives today. No matter how far from God we may find ourselves, there is nothing He won’t do to get us back — even from the auction block of sin and shame. We may find ourselves ripped and stripped by sin, but in the end, we can be gripped by God's grace through the sacrificial love of Christ.

What do you do when you are in a Lion’s Den? Because lions are everywhere — they’re prowling around, ready to pounce on our God-given purpose so that we cave in to compromise. So how do we gain the courage to stand firm in our faith?

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the book of Daniel. A man of great resolve, we can learn a lot from Daniel’s refusal to compromise his beliefs and courage to stand firm. He was no superhero; he had no special powers — he was human just like us. His confidence in the face of potential execution came from keeping God first. We, too, can have the same courage if we fix our focus on Christ. As we stand for what we believe within our cultural climate, we’ll exit the lion’s den unscathed and be blessed in unbelievable ways.

We’ve all been there at some point — the time when we look around and see nothing but helplessness and hopelessness. It leaves us reeling in utter dismay as we think, "How will it ever get better?" In a real sense, it's our very own "Death Valley."

In this powerful message, Pastor Ed Young helps us all discover that no matter our circumstances or even as hopeless and helpless as the situation may seem, God can and will resurrect us to experience life in the face of death.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the book of Jeremiah. We learn we are clay in the ultimate Potter’s hands. His wheel is the circumstances we face in life. When we get marred by imperfection, He reshapes our lives until we are worthy of being used for His purpose. It’s then that we discover our amazing potential in the Potter’s hands.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? In Part 2 of this message, Pastor Ed Young unpacks this question and more. We’ll discover that when we allow His goodness to infiltrate our lives, we’ll understand that living the good life is truly the God life.

Did you know that something as small as a stray olive can make a huge difference? In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches how small things can have a big impact in our lives. If we surrender to God and His plan, we discover an amazing reality — we can impact the world for His Glory. We can live as a stray olive!

We live in a world where truth is up for grabs. People don't know what to believe anymore and they are easily swayed by those with the loudest voices.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young sits down with Trey Gowdy — A champion of justice, who has defended our rights as Americans while building meaningful relationships on both sides of the aisle with a foundation of Biblical Truth! Together, we will learn how we can all be champions for justice and truth.

What happens in the home can change what happens in the world. Ed Young joins his brothers, Ben, Cliff, and father, Dr. Ed Young, this weekend for a message to fathers, future fathers, and the entire family.

Contemporary culture has a distorted view of what it means to be a person, emphasizing vanity over value, wealth over worth, and upward mobility over a higher calling.

In this message Pastor Ed Young confronts the pain and scars that affect our self-esteem and encourages us to see exactly who we are in the eyes of a God who loves us beyond compare and wants the best for our lives.

The pathway that leads to promiscuity doesn’t end at the edge and the ledge of adultery. It’s a path that ends in a debilitating and destructive fall. In this message, Ed Young teaches us how to take the necessary steps to move back from the ledge and ultimately discover God’s best for us in both life and love.

We all want to call our own shots and run the show. As a result, it's often a struggle to put ourselves under the authority of others. But how we respond to authority reveals a lot about who we are and who we will become.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young helps us see how the authority figures in our lives are there to mold and shape us into the people God has called us to be.

In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches from 2 Samuel 9 about the grace David showed Mephibosheth. This simple story foreshadows the grace God had shown us through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. Like Mephibosheth, when we were in a state of dishonor, God didn't hesitate. He searched us out, spared us, and, now, gives us a seat at His table We are adopted as members of the royal family and blessed greatly — something we’ll never deserve by our own merit. Have you accepted God’s invitation to dine at the ultimate King’s table?

The UFC is known for its electric and epic fights. But long before fighters fought it out in the octagon, there was a blockbusting biblical battle found in 1 Samuel between David and Goliath. It's the quintessential underdog, winner-takes-all battle of all ages.

In this sermon, Pastor Ed Young teaches that if we totally rely on God, with every sinew and every nerve in our nature, we will be victorious over any giant. We’ll learn how to subdue the Goliaths in our lives with "5 stones." Right now, God is looking at us and saying, "It's time to do battle in the UFC!"

Pastor Ed and Lisa share their story of hope and healing as they navigate and grieve the death of their daughter. No matter what you're facing, this will be a time for finding comfort and peace through the pain.

“I quit.” “I'm done.” “I'm out of here.” ”I've had enough.” We say these phrases when we want to quit, and the “quit” in our culture is incredible. We simply love to quit!

In this message, Pastor Ed Young teaches from the character of Noah, the Old Testament ark-builder, that when we break through the quitting points in life, we can expect a breakthrough.

It's crazy how many doors we walk through every day, bedroom doors, bathroom doors, front doors, back doors, revolving doors, there are doors everywhere.

In this message Pastor Ed Young teaches the Bible is the open door to life. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, If we open the door and allow God to enter the door of our hearts, then Christ will transform our lives and we’ll become a new creation.
