There are many people who want to be delivered from the bondage of their pasts, but don't know how. In this powerful message, Dr. Stanley explains how God's grace truly is sufficient, despite our former sins.

The Courage to Keep Going - Part 1

Do you want to give up on your marriage, job, children, financial situation, or other personal struggle? We often feel tempted to quit when we’re in the middle of such difficult circumstances, but giving up is not consistent with who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. In this message, Dr. Stanley shares how the apostle Paul is a perfect example of someone who never gave up in spite of persistent difficulty and hardship.

The Courage to Stand By Your Convictions - Part 1

We live in a world where many people don’t believe in moral absolutes or live by a set of convictions. Instead, as Scripture describes it, they do whatever seems “right in their own eyes.” In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about the motivation and results of Daniel’s commitment to stand by his biblical beliefs.

Grace And Continuing Sin - Part 2

We've all had to deal with coming back to God with the same thing over and over again and wondering, "How long will He keep forgiving for the same sins?" Just how much grace is available to us? Dr. Stanley suggests that if a person is saved, sin cannot terminate her relationship to God. But it can destroy her testimony, fellowship, joy, peace, happiness, and purpose for living. A sinful lifestyle is like a disease and is spread by human nature.

A Call for Courage - Part 2

We learn to respond to the tests and trials of life by facing each new challenge with courage and faith in God. When we’re afraid and don’t know what to do, the Lord will encourage us if we trust Him. In this message, Dr. Stanley shares from the life of Gideon.

The Battle of Prayer - Part 2

The Enemy hates for believers to have strong prayer lives. Why? Our victory, effectiveness, and fruitfulness in the Christian life are directly related to the quality of the time we spend with God. That’s why it’s so important we learn what the Bible says about prayer. In this message, Dr. Stanley uses Ephesians 6:10-24 to explain.

Dressed For the Battle - Part 2

Whether we realize it or not, we are caught in a spiritual battle. Satan cannot touch the spirits of believers because we belong to God, but he can attack our bodies and harass our minds. This message will give you a powerful tool to help you achieve spiritual victory.

Grace Alone - Part 2

One of the reasons many believers live their lives without any sense of peace, joy, or satisfaction is because they don't understand God's grace. Dr. Stanley explains why this is so important in Grace Alone.

Our Enemy - His Strategy Part 1

Since the beginning of the world, Satan has used an effective strategy to tempt individuals to disobey God. He employs this method repeatedly because it is so powerful. Using the story of Adam and Eve, Dr. Stanley reveals this strategy of the Enemy.

Our Enemy - His Position

Satan is the prince of this world’s system. In every area of life—politics, religion, society, economics, education—he offers a counterfeit of God’s best. This message will point out some of the evidence for Satan’s presence in our world and some of the most common ways he works.

Grace Alone - Part 1

Learn to choose the right path in this powerful message.

The Stages of Our Christian Life - Part 2

You can't grab a yardstick to see how much you've grown in the Lord, but there are spiritual markers that help you see where you've been and where God is taking you. Discover how the Christian life is a process, not an event.

A Second Chance Now - Part 2

All of us would like to have second chances in life. Maybe you would do something better, or would have not rushed into a certain decision. Well a second chance is what grace is all about. Dr. Stanley explains how in this message.

Overcoming Worry - Part 1

What do you worry about most in life? Is it your health, your marriage, your children? Maybe you worry most about what other people think about you. Do you know why you worry? In Overcoming Worry, Dr. Stanley teaches that we, as children of God, have no need to worry because we belong to a God who loves us, hears us and is aware of our every need!

Overcoming the Unpleasant

We could put everybody in the world out of business if we had a genuine concern about our workmanship and an interest in what we produce. But too often, we let people and circumstances influence our attitude negatively, and we only do enough to get by. In this message, Dr. Stanley says that we should work as unto the Lord, thinking to ourselves, Lord Jesus, I may be hired by them, but I'm doing this for you.

Raising Your Children Right - Part 1

Children need to feel like they belong in their families, have a healthy sense of worth, and believe they can do what is required of them. Parenting is a difficult job, and no one is perfect. When we fail, we must remember that our heavenly Father has forgiven us and wiped our slate clean. Then we can continue to be the kind of parents He calls us to be with renewed strength.

Walking in the Spirit - Part 2

The Bible advises us not to get drunk because when we’re full of alcohol, our emotions and physical wellbeing are dominated and controlled by that substance. Instead, God’s Word directs us to be “soaked” with the Spirit, who guides us to do the right things and act in a way that honors God. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains the difference between being baptized by the Spirit, indwelt by the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit.

Walking in the Light

When you're in the dark and trying to find your way, what do you gravitate towards? Light. As Christians, our purpose is to worship God by shining the hope of Christ’s light in a dark world. In this message, Dr. Stanley describes the characteristics of a believer who is sharing the light of truth with the world.

The Message of the Resurrection - Part 2

The defining event of our faith and church is the awe-inspiring resurrection of Christ. Calvary not only demonstrated His power over death, but also God’s capacity to keep His word. In this sermon, Dr. Stanley reminds us that without this event, Christianity would lose its message that Christ came to earth to die for our sins and triumph over death.

The Cross: A Debt Paid in Full

When we incur financial debt, we have obligated ourselves to pay back what we owe. But how do we pay back our spiritual debt of sin? Dr. Stanley teaches us that God’s only answer to our sin-debt was and is the cross. Through His love and justice He sent an innocent person to the cross to die for our sins.

Walking In Love - Part 1

Our God is a God of love. He cares for us unconditionally and sacrificially and expresses His love by always doing what is best for us. Unfortunately, the world offers a counterfeit type of love. Instead of coming from a genuine care for others, it is characterized by selfishness and is destructive to those who indulge in it.

The Challenge of Christian Conversation

Our tongues have the power to build people up or tear them down. They can create great joy, happiness, peace, confidence and assurance for others—or they can absolutely destroy all possibility of those things in a matter of moments.

Walking In Holiness

Before a person turns his life over to Christ, his heart is hardened to sin. He satisfies his needs the only way he knows how—through selfish, sinful means. But once he surrenders to God, he becomes sensitive to sin. His old life doesn’t fit any longer because he has the Holy Spirit living within him.

A Worthy Walk

In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about how a godly perspective will help us to walk with humility, gentleness, patience and forbearance. He also shares how these characteristics help us live in harmony with others. Not only do they build unity within the body of Christ, but also within our personal relationships at home and in our communities.

How to Listen to God

Communication is vital in everything we do. It is important in our relationships with other people and in our relationship with God. In this message, Dr. Stanley teaches that our Heavenly Father is speaking and we need to learn to listen.

An Awesome Privilege - Part 1

Based on Matthew 7:7-11, this message examines why prayer is an awesome privilege. It is a privilege because we are approaching a Holy God, we are asking of an omnipotent God and we are receiving our answers from a loving Father.

Your Spiritual Growth - Part 1

No matter how long believers have been saved, their lives should be characterized by spiritual growth. Christians should ask the Lord to examine their conduct on a regular basis and reveal His perspective (Ps. 139:1-4, 23-24). Dr. Stanley’s message teaches how to freshen and strengthen a new season of spiritual evolution.

How to Handle Those Who Hurt You - Part 2

When someone deliberately and willfully attempts to hurt you, how do you respond? Hurt is a part of life and the society in which live, so how are believers supposed to respond? In How to Handle Those Who Hurt You, Dr. Stanley explains how we are to react to those who hurt us-even when it is a difficult thing to do.

Walking Worthy of Your Calling

We know unbelievers who refuse the Lord’s divine, supernatural invitation of salvation will face dire consequences. But Christians make a similar mistake when they ignore God’s call to sainthood. In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about the Lord’s desire for us to practice what we preach.

Part of God's Great Mystery - Part 2

Every believer not only gets to enjoy the blessings of eternal life with the Lord, but he or she also plays an integral part in God’s plan to reveal Himself to mankind.

God's Masterpiece

God's Offer of Grace - Part 1

Life is hopeless without God, but thankfully, He has not abandoned us to this fate. Motivated by mercy, our loving Father has taken the initiative to change our condition—offering us salvation, a place in heaven with Christ Jesus, and everlasting contentment.

Idols in the Life of the Believer

In Idols in the Life of the Believer, Dr. Stanley uses the life of Abraham to illustrate that idols don't have to be wood or stone carvings. Anything that we place greater value on than God is an idol. Discover how to guard against this deceptive pitfall.

Praying with Confidence - Part 1

Do you sometimes find yourself being a little impatient with God because you've been praying and He hasn't answered your prayer exactly when you expected it? Maybe you question whether or not God even cares. In Praying with Confidence, Dr. Stanley explains that God wants to answer our prayers, yet so many people spend so little time talking to Him.

Turning Doubts into Blessed Assurance - Part 1

In this encouraging sermon, Turning Our Doubts into Blessed Assurance, Dr. Stanley explains how to be completely confident about where you are going to spend eternity. Although there are many things in life you can be undecided about, if you have qualms about your salvation, it will affect every area of your life. Therefore, learn the provisions and promises that God has given you in His Word.

Religious But Lost

There are many people that fill the pews of churches on Sundays who are good, upstanding, and moral people. From the outside, they appear to be Christians because of their behavior. However, they are lost. In Religious But Lost, Dr. Stanley uses the life of Nicodemus to illustrate how someone can be religious but lost. Learn the difference in this intriguing message.

Our Constant Companion - Part 1

We all need a companion—someone who helps when we’re in trouble, laughs with us in good times, and weeps with us through pain. This is why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our Comforter. In this message, Dr. Stanley shares how the this third Person of the Trinity works within us.

Heirs to a Grand Inheritance - Part 2

At salvation, we become children of God and co-heirs with Christ. This means everything the Father bestows upon the Son, we will receive with Him.

Chosen Saints

Many people get caught up in the predestination vs. free will debate. This is unfortunate, because we will never fully understand what it means to be a chosen saint and must accept it by faith. In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about how, as believers, we ought to be living out the truth of our position as chosen saints instead of arguing about it.

In Christ

There are many who call themselves Christians because they’re church members. Whether they’re Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, or some other denomination, they base their spiritual life on something other than a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. In this message, Dr. Stanley begins a study of Ephesians by focusing on what it means to be “in Christ.”

A Heart for God Part 2

Loving God

We use the word love rather loosely, ascribing it to the most treasured people in our lives as well as our trivial preferences. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains why the Lord should have a prominent place in our hearts and why our love for Him should permeate every area of our lives.

Obeying God - Part 1

Obedience is an attitude we have to learn to embrace. It’s not a trait we automatically acquire when we become Christians.

In this message, Dr. Stanley explains how partial obedience is the greatest enemy to obedience.

Life's Trials Explained - Part 2

Are you facing a season of difficulty and pain? Are you wondering why God would allow you to suffer? Since the garden of Eden, there have always been trials and sorrow; it's part of our lives because of the sin that's in the world.

Building Truth Into Your Life

Truthfulness is an essential character quality for believers. When it’s lacking, both individuals and nations begin to crumble internally. Because Jethro understood this concept, he advised Moses, his son-in-law, to only appoint men to positions of leadership who feared God and hated dishonest gain (Ex. 18:21). But this character quality is not reserved only for the chosen few. We all influence others, so we must be people who know and speak truth.

Surviving Our Present Culture - Part 1

In Surviving Our Present Culture, Dr. Stanley explains that Christians fall into two categories.

Have you noticed that when you're walking in step with someone, everything is easier? For example, it's easier to talk because you're keeping the same pace.

The Priority of Relationship - Part 2

Dr. Stanley teaches, 'Almighty God is more interested in your personal, intimate relationship with Him than a thousand lifetimes of work for Him.'

What the Lord wants from us is a loving relationship with Jesus Christ, finding our satisfaction only in Him.

Telling It Like It Is - Part 2

Full of personal anecdotes, fond memories and moving stories about his relationship with his father, Andy’s message will encourage you to live out these biblical lessons in your own life, and pass them on to the next generation.

Healing Our Hurts

Everybody gets hurt at some point in their life. So what we have to decide is how we're going to handle those hurts. Are we going to handle them in such a way that they ultimately harm us?

Discover how you can be a blessing in The Blessings of God!
