Bringing to God what is God's
Ed Young and Tracy Barnes team teach on the biblical importance of returning to God what is God's. We will discover through the exciting principles in this message how our lives can be forever impacted when we give first importance to that which is first in God's eyes, the local church.

Generosity, the essence of God
"How can I experience the blessings of God?" The simple, yet profound, answer to that question is found in the very nature and character of God. If we truly want to be in the zone and live life to our fullest potential, this message teaches that we must be people after God's own heart — a heart marked first and foremost by generosity. Then and only then can we understand the powerful biblical principle that "God is for us."

Management vs. ownership of God's blessings
We know that all of our stuff is God's stuff, but how does that practically play out in our lives? This message brings home the spiritual reality that a major aspect of honoring God relates to how we manage and allocate the tangible blessings He has given us.

Cast your vote... Raise your voice
Once the presidential debates are over, the battle for votes truly begins. 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.

Steering clear of materialism
People up and down the socioeconomic scale struggle with materialism—it doesn’t matter how much money you have. But as Satan builds the highways that take us out of the zone, God is building bridges that can bring us back. In this message, Ed Young teaches us how to actively steer clear of materialism and, instead, continue living in the zone.

Evaluating your friendships
Are you :)? Well, that's not exactly the right question to ask, because God wants more than :) for your life and mine. He wants more than 'more' for us. He wants each of us to experience true and lasting joy. And that can begin today. Throughout this series, we've examined the tools necessary to begin a life of outrageous, contagious joy. In this message, we'll discover how the relationships in our lives can either contribute to or compromise the level of joy we experience. And in turn look at our own actions and motives when it comes to bringing real :) to others.

Finding joy in your job
When it comes to finding true joy, most people think work has little to contribute. We often see work as a 9-5 thing that we just have to endure each day as we make our way through life. But there’s much more to work than we may think—it is much more than just filler for our days. God has given us the capacity, desire and drive to work as a gift. In this message, Ed Young reveals the truth about this gift called work. And as we download the truth about the work God has set us out to do, we see how it can actually bring joy to our lives.

Overcoming obstacles to a joyful life
So many people think happiness is what it takes to get the most out of life. What they fail to understand is that happiness is fleeting — here one day and gone the next. The life God wants for us is one of true and lasting joy. But if we aren’t careful, we will encounter some dangerous things that keep us from discovering true joy. In this message, Ed Young looks at several things that can keep us from experiencing the full potential found in a life of joy. And as we learn to overcome those things by living according to God's will, we see that joy is really a multi-sensory experience.

Happiness is fleeting
"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" We all know the song. But there's something to the song that we may have never realized. Happiness only lasts about as long as it takes to clap twice. Yet, we spend our entire lives searching for this ever-elusive commodity. But in our search, we have missed out on something even greater—true joy. In the introductory message of the series, Ed Young takes a hard look at what God says about happiness. And we learn that when we stop the never ending search for this fleeting feeling, we can truly begin to live a life of outrageous, contagious joy.

God's authority in His Word
To gain the most out of life, we need to get under God's umbrella of protection and authority. But what exactly is that umbrella and how do we position ourselves under it? In this message, Ed Young takes us on a journey to discover how God's authority is literally spelled out in his love letter to us, the Bible, and what our response to that letter should be.
