The Courage to Keep Going – Dr. Charles Stanley

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. From his life, we can see how we, too, can gain strength and motivation by acknowledging:

- The awareness of God’s presence with us
- The experience of God’s strength within us
- The assurance of the Lord’s will for us
- The overflowing joy that fills us
- The life-changing lessons God teaches us
- The fruit God’s truth produces through us
- The reward God has promised us
- The vision of the cross always before us
- Our love and devotion to Jesus Christ

How we react and respond to the trials of life is a choice we make. Knowing these great promises of God, how will you face the difficulties ahead - with fear, hopelessness, rebellion or courage?

This message is part of the series "The Courage to Stand."
