What is it that you are pursuing above everything else? A career? A person? A ministry? None of those things compare to knowing the Lord on an everyday, personal level. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains how deepening our relationship with God is far more valuable than anything else. Our days are full of distractions, responsibilities and desires. Learn to put Christ first and find contentment and joy in His continual presence.

When we experience discouragement, where should we turn? Though it may not feel like it at times, discouragement is a choice. We can either allow circumstances to drag us down into depression and despair or we can look to our encouraging God. In this message, “Our Great Encourager,” Dr. Stanley begins by listing 10 qualities that make God our Great Encourager and then explains how He uses those attributes to motivate us. He is always faithful, encouraging us even when we’ve done nothing to deserve it.

When we are upset or wronged, one of the most dangerous things we can do is stuff down our resentment, anger, and hostility. This causes unforgiveness to grow and fester in our hearts. Also, it is an act of rebellion to willfully refuse to give up one’s resentment and right to get even. Unforgiveness doesn’t fit in the life of a Christian. Therefore, we must make a decision to let go of resentment and unforgiveness. When we deal with our unforgiveness, we will begin to see people through God’s eyes. Our attitudes will change, and we will be able to accept people as they are. Then, not only will we have strong, healthy bonds with others, but also a growing, loving relationship with our heavenly Father.

Anger is the most dangerous of all emotions. It’s like a boomerang—you throw it out at someone, and it comes right back at you. We always pay the price for our anger and can even burden our children with it because anger can be passed down generationally. You cannot be angry toward others and have a right relationship with the Lord. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains how we can determine if our anger is righteous or sinful and how to deal with it. He also describes inappropriate ways of handling this volatile emotion. Discover the peace that comes with taking every concern and frustration to God.

Many people live in bondage to feelings of rejection and don't even realize it. It causes us to believe lies about ourselves and project hurtful emotions on others. It also undermines our relationships with God. In today's message, Dr. Stanley describes the nature of rejection and shares a number of characteristics of a person who feels rejected.
Perhaps we have a physical defect, emotional hurts, or hurtful childhood experiences. But thankfully, as believers, God gives us a sense of belonging, worthiness, and competence. Learn to believe in the truth about God's love and rest in the peace of His acceptance.
