Everyone, no matter their style, has those foundational pieces of clothing from which every fashion statement is based. 

In this unique look at the fashion of a Christian, Ed Young teaches us what it means to start our wardrobe with the clothing of baptism. And we see that by making that initial statement of faith, repentance and obedience, we are truly moving our fashion forward.

Fashion Police

In today's world of "image is everything," so many people base their fashion- and their lives- on what they think others want to see. But so many in today's world are fashion unconscious. Some are stuck in the 80s. Others overly accessorize to the point of being humorous. And still others seemingly don't care at all what their fashion says about them.

In this new series by Ed Young, we're going to take a look at some of the crazy fashion statements that people make. And we're going to ultimately see that for our fashion to really communicate anything at all, it must be first grounded in the Lord of all.

Podcast > Fashion Police > Wardrobe Malfunction

In the Garden, Adam and Eve experienced a major wardrobe malfunction. Yet, God provided a perfect plan to cover them. Today, the same things continue in the lives of so many people. But even as we put on God’s perfect outfit, we often fail to experience the complete coverage that it can provide. 

In this message, Ed Young shows us that many of our attempts at wearing Christ don’t follow God’s original design. And we see just what it takes to stop the malfunctions and instead discover the power and purpose of wearing Christ the right way.

Podcast > Fashion Police > Seamless (Easter Message)

The Easter story is one of intrigue and inspiration. For those who follow Christ, it is the very foundation for their faith, the purpose behind their passion. And folded among the many accounts of that first Easter is an often overlooked single piece of cloth. 

In this message, Ed Young takes a closer look at that piece of woven fabric. And as he focuses in on the truth of its seamless makeup, we discover how the perfection of Christ is the one thing that can help each of us live a truly seamless life.

Easter Pre-Release 2009

Easter is an exciting time! As the Church, this is one of our greatest opportunities to tell the life-changing story of the resurrection to people who are searching for answers. It's our time to answer their question, as my friends in Australia say, "What's the skinny on the gimmie?" It's our shot to tell people what they need to know, and what they need to do.

But Easter is also one of the most difficult messages you can preach. Because people know the story, we have to figure out how to put unique angles on the same message.

This Easter weekend, I'm going to be talking about what it means to live a seamless life through Christ's perfection. It's a fusion of sermons and thoughts from God and from other speakers I've heard and talked to over the years. The whole thing is built around a clothing website I saw that allows you to zoom in and zoom out on their products. And the phrase I'm going back to over and over is "top to bottom; bottom to top".

I hope this pre-release Easter sermon will help you as you prepare to reach so many people with the message of the resurrection. Feel free to use it and change it to fit you. Remember, despite what some say, there are very few original ideas. Creativity is all about taking what's out there and shaping it and molding it to fit your style. So take this message and make it yours!

Happy Easter,
