As For Me And My House

Sunday, January 25, 2026

Every day, we make thousands of choices, yet not all of them are equal.
In this insightful message, Dr. Tony Young Jr. centers the message on Joshua 24 and the defining declaration: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” From the Valley of Shechem, Joshua recounts God’s faithfulness from Egypt to Jericho and issues a clear challenge to the people of Israel. This message dissects how our decisions shape our homes, our faith, and our future, while confronting the pressure to conform to culture rather than Christ. Dr. Young emphasizes that serving the Lord is more than church attendance. It’s a transformed life, lived openly and unapologetically for God. As Joshua made his final stand, we are invited to make our own…declaring faith not just in words, but in daily living.

It's Not In The Resume, It's In The Praise

Sunday, January 11, 2026

Dr. Tony Young Jr. returns with an impactful message drawn from 2 Kings 20 and Isaiah 38, examining the life of King Hezekiah and the hidden strength of praise. After a season of victory and faithful leadership, Hezekiah is confronted with sickness and death, only to discover that his résumé of righteous works was not what moved God’s hand. This message reveals how praise, especially in moments of suffering, shifts the balance in our lives, invites God’s presence, and brings breakthrough. Dr. Young challenges us to develop not only a strong prayer life, but a consistent, heartfelt praise life, remembering that God inhabits the praises of His people.
