Podcast > Politicked? > Rock the Vote

Political ads, polls and pundits parade throughout the media—all telling us who to vote for and why. It’s a deluge of information that continues until the moment we make our selection at the voting booths.

But there’s something behind all the political rhetoric that we often miss—the truth of who the best candidate is. So in this message, Ed Young gets to that truth, shows us exactly what to look for in a candidate and tells us exactly who to vote for.

Politicked?

As the ticker runs along the bottom of the television screen, questions run through our minds. What does the future hold? What’s our role in this election? What’s God’s mandate when it comes to government? Better yet, who would Jesus vote for?

In this controversial series, Ed Young looks at the uncertainty we all face when it comes to faith and politics. And as he sifts through the political rhetoric and reveals our responsibility, he gets to the truth behind, or above, it all.

Podcast > Politicked? > Avalanche

Information about politics is coming to us faster, with more force and from more sources than ever before. And it’s all under the guise of bringing us the truth. But is this information overload really clearing the air? Or is it making us feel even more uncertain about what the future holds?

In this message, Ed Young takes a hard look at the uncertainty we all face in the current political climate. And as he plows through the avalanche of information, he gets down to the truth of who we need to trust, where we need to turn and what we need to do.

Podcast > Delicious > Paused On Puberty

Growing up, we all hit that awkward stage of puberty. It’s a time of autonomy and often self-reliance. It’s a phase of life that we must go through. But if we stay in that stage, if we press pause in puberty, all the flavor and uniqueness of life also halts. It becomes stagnant. The same is true in our spiritual walk.

In this message, Ed Young challenges us to the next step in our spiritual growth. And he shows us just what it takes to get past puberty and instead move on to maturity in order to discover what a delicious life is all about.

“La dolce vita,” the sweet life. It’s something we all crave. Yet so often, we live with a gnawing hunger for the one ingredient that we think might be missing; an ingredient that we can almost taste but can’t quite grasp.

In this series by Ed Young, we discover just how to experience a fully delicious life. And we find that a life of full flavor and true satisfaction is something that God desires for us to have every day in every area of our life.

10 Commandments of Purity

Ed and Lisa recently had the opportunity to participate in the outstanding "Love, Sex, and Relationships" conference at Hillsong Church. One of the things they shared was Ed's 10 Commandments of Purity, a personal commitment he made years ago when he started out in ministry. Ed and Lisa wanted to make that available to everyone as a reminder that God gave us marriage, first and foremost, for our holiness.

10 Commandments of Purity

   1. I shall have no other human relationship before Lisa
   2. Remember your date night and keep it holy.
   3. Honor Lisa on anniversaries and special days so that you may live long in the land the Lord has given you.
   4. I shall not take the covenant of marriage in vain.
   5. I shall not ride in a car or eat in a restaurant alone with a member of the opposite sex.
   6. I shall not travel alone.
   7. I shall not counsel a woman behind closed doors.
   8. I shall not share the details of my marriage with others.
   9. I shall not watch, read or expose myself to sexually explicit shows, books, websites, etc.
  10. I shall remember the implications of committing adultery.

A delicious life begins with the right recipe. We need the right combination of the right ingredients in order for our lives to take on the full flavor God has in store for us. And as with all recipes, this life has one central ingredient—a relationship with Christ. That’s the first step.

In this message, Ed Young unpacks that step in the recipe. He uncovers the next ingredients. And he shows us that there’s a process in preparing this recipe—a recipe that takes us from infancy to maturity.
