Perhaps the most powerful and inspiring of all aspects of life, love is often the most misunderstood as well. People throughout the centuries have lived and died for it. Yet, the Hallmark-inspired version of love we picture in movies and hear about in music is a hazy reflection of real love. In this series, Ed Young shows us how the true measure of love isn’t found in the imagination of our culture; it’s experienced through the example and life of Christ. And when we grasp the kind of love He has for us, we find ourselves ready to continue down the track of life with greater trajectory than ever before.

Pride is one of the most sinister forces we can face. It can take hold of our lives, lead us down a dangerous path and entangle us in a snare of lies and deception.

And as Ed Young shows us in this message, if we can keep our ego in check we will avoid the trap. Instead, we’ll continue heading down the path God has for us. And we’ll experience the most out of life.

The word “no” has such finality to it. Saying “no” is often difficult for us because it seems so limiting, so negative. We fear saying the word because we don’t want to disappoint or discourage. But what if “no” could actually lead us to God’s plan for our lives? In message, Ed Young takes another look at Matthew 5:37 and how it can simplify our lives. And as he shows us the real purpose and power of saying no, we discover how it doesn’t limit our options; it instead allows us to experience a bigger and better “yes”!

Everyone wants life to be simple. Yet, the vast amount of options in life make things more complex than ever before. The question is, “How do we navigate the options and experience a simple life?” The answer often comes down to a single, three letter words: yes. In this series, Ed Young takes an in-depth look at “yes” from a biblical viewpoint. And as we learn about God’s view of this word, we discover the power and potential “yes” really has. Because when we are willing to say yes to the right things, everything else in life falls into place.

And we discover that when we get outside of our comfort zone and stop living for safety, we can truly start living for God!

In this message, Pastor Ed Young shifts our perspective on the Nativity and challenges us to ask ourselves what we truly see in the Nativity Scene.

Throughout history, God has used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. But sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to us.

And as we prepare to celebrate what has been done in the past, Pastor Ed Young helps us discover how God is preparing the way for something even greater in the future!
