Podcast > Details > The Currency of Courtesy

February 02, 2010

Kazoku. Mishpacha. Familie. Familia. No matter what language we speak or what culture we live in, family is one of the most vital aspects of society. And the way we interact with those closest to us plays a major role in determining our future.

In this message, Ed Young shows us how courtesy is one of the most valuable commodities we can possess. And when respect, honor and courtesy are abundant in the family, God’s direction, hope and purpose for our lives become clear.

Details

Everyone notices them; few people openly discuss them. They are the words that build the basis for our behavior, the actions that establish the essence of etiquette. But do the details of our personal conduct truly matter when the world is dealing with so many major issues?

In this new series, Ed Young tackles a subject that is rarely, if ever, discussed in church as he reveals the power behind the details in life. And as we discover the truth about the details, we learn how the smallest adjustments in behavior often produce the greatest results in life.

Podcast > Details > A Brutifal Ride

January 26, 2010

For the past 20 years Ed Young has led Fellowship Church. And during that time, he has seen, heard and experienced things that he has rarely shared in public. But in this message, Ed pulls back the curtain of his life and his ministry and reveals the heart, passion and drive he has for God’s call in his life.

As Ed invites us into this personal reflection on what he calls the “brutifal” nature of ministry, we discover some powerful lessons that we can all apply. And we see that no matter what circumstances we face, when we live in a manner that is worthy of the gospel, God will take us to places we never dreamed possible.

Podcast > Intersection

December 29, 2009

It was early, too early for most people. Still, the streets were crowded; the intersection was packed. And just as the light turned from red to green, a little dog wandered out from the shadows and into traffic.

In this Christmas message, Ed Young shares a touching and personal story of desperation, hope and ultimately rescue. And as he shows us the reality that we’re all in need of rescue, he reminds us that it doesn’t matter how long we have been in the shadows. Because no matter what, God can always provide hope in times desperation and rescue in times of danger.

In this message, Ed Young opens the pages of Scripture to reveal the truth about the ultimate judgment. And he shows us that when we view judgment from an eternal perspective, we can begin to experience the most out of life every day.

The End Of The World

From the very beginning of time, mankind has been fascinated with the end of the world. We’ve attempted to analyze and calculate it, expect and envision it. We’ve made assumptions about events and accusations about people, all in an attempt to determine how and when it will happen. Yet, only God truly knows the details.
 
In this series, Ed Young opens the pages of Scripture to investigate what God says about the end of the world. And we see that the most powerful truth concerning the future end is the truth that Christ is the beginning of our hope today.

Podcast > The End Of The World > Signs

November 10, 2009

The world as we know it will end. Yet, in spite of astronomical advances in technology and our absolute certainty in human intellect, we simply don’t know when the world will end. But that doesn’t mean we can’t see it coming.

In this message, Ed Young looks at some of the signs that Jesus pointed to that will give us a heads up that the end is near. And we discover that the signs that point to the end can also point us to the beginning of hope, both for now and forever.
