Whether you’re stranded in the doldrums or battling a raging storm, life isn’t always smooth sailing from Point A to Point B. No one knew that tumultuous journey better than David.
In this message, Dr. Stanley encourages us to persevere under pressure, just like David did in the ten years between his anointing and crowning as king. Learn to trust God and His process, even when it feels like He is absent.
“I don’t know what God’s up to in your life, but I can tell you this: It’s got to be great. And I wouldn’t want to miss it.” —Charles. F. Stanley

Life is continually changing. Every day something is different. War, the economy, and other circumstances threaten the security of many people today. With so much happening in our world, it may seem impossible to have true peace of mind, but through God's word, believers have all the assurance and confidence they need in these troublesome times.

As the son of a defeated royal family, Mephibosheth had everything to fear when David ascended the throne. But instead of execution, he received an invitation—to dine with the king for the rest of his life.
In this message, Dr. Stanley teaches us that God has extended the same kindness and covenant love toward us through His Son Jesus. There’s no need to fear when the King beckons you to feast at His table.

“Friendship’s not cheap. Friendship is expensive.” —Charles F. Stanley
In the Bible, Jonathan paid a high price to be a loyal friend to David, forfeiting his father’s favor and risking death. Do you want a friend like that? In this message, Dr. Stanley details the three characteristics of true, intimate friendship and how to cultivate them in your own life—because to have a friend, you must first be a friend.

A colleague gets the promotion you deserved. A friend’s talents garner more praise than yours. How do you respond when you’re in the shadow of someone else’s limelight?
In this message, Dr. Stanley uses the story of Saul and David to illuminate both the right and the wrong reactions to popularity. Don’t allow renown—either your own or another’s—lure you into jealousy, suspicion, or vengeance. Learn to keep your wits about you and continue to depend on the Lord, no matter your position.

In one corner, Goliath. His advantages? Height, strength, experience, armor, and weaponry. In the other, David. His advantage? God.
By all external factors, it didn’t look like the odds were in David’s favor—but God was. In this message, Dr. Stanley explores the most famous underdog story and outlines what we can learn when we come face to face with the giants in our own lives. Don’t let the enemy of your soul intimidate you—learn to fight in God’s strength and not your own.

“God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7). It wasn’t David’s looks that drew God’s attention. It was his character.

Learn how to pursue a godly character so that when God calls on you, you'll be ready.

Life is continually changing. Every day is different. Unrest around the world threatens people's security and safety. With so much happening in our world, it may seem impossible to have peace of mind. In "Confidence in Troublesome Times," we learn otherwise. God, through His word, has provided believers all the assurance and confidence we need.
Remember that God is still in control—no matter how overwhelming or impossible the challenges may seem. Place your trust fully in Him and you will have confidence and peace during every storm you face.

When the bottom drops out and when everything breaks loose, where do you turn? It's in the times of disaster and disappointment that even the most ungodly person cries out, "Oh, my God!" In this encouraging sermon, "In His Presence," Dr. Charles Stanley discusses why we inherently go to God when we don't know where to turn, and how God's love and comfort are always available to us if we'll believe in Him.
