In Touch TV Broadcast featuring Dr. Charles Stanley

Are you growing in your faith? Is your trust in the Lord increasing? Do you believe that God hears and answers your prayers?

Faith is one of the greatest assets God has given us, and the Father has provided it for everyone who is rightly related to Him through Jesus Christ.

How many times have you ever said – I just don’t have time? We may not realize it, but we are all governed by that ticking clock. In Prayer: Our Time-Saver, Dr. Stanley shares with us one of his 30 Life Principles that will help us live life to the fullest every single day.

Fear is a hindrance. It creates anxiety in our heart, it divides our mind, it drains our energy and it hinders whatever we’re doing in life. Learn how to conquer this damaging emotion and live with the confidence only found in God.

In this message, “Encouraging Ourselves,” Dr. Stanley reminds us that God is our Shield and Protector and He promises to guide us through difficult times. Any time we’re willing to acknowledge our inadequacy and ask the Lord to give us direction, He will. Instead of relying on our abilities, we need to rely on His. Looking back on God’s track record of faithfulness can be a valuable source of encouragement during challenging times.

What kind of people does God intend us to be? God is our Great Encourager, but He calls upon us to be encouragers as well. In this message, “Encouraging One Another,” Dr. Stanley identifies numerous biblical commands given to help us become more fervent motivators of other people. He goes on to show us how encouragement is a major theme in Scripture, pointing to examples from the New Testament. He then concludes his message by listing many practical ways we can encourage others.

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.

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.

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.

Obeying God is always the right thing to do, but it’s not always the easiest. We need courage—a special quality of mind and spirit that enables us to meet danger, opposition and the challenges of life with steadfast fearlessness. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that it always benefits us to obey the principles of the Word of God.

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.

Noah lived in a very dark time. Man’s sin was so deep and extensive that God decided to judge mankind. However, He spared Noah because of the servant’s righteousness, instructing him to build an ark to protect his family from the destruction of the coming flood. Dr. Stanley talks about the boldness Noah needed in order to obey God during this godless time and complete such a daunting task.

In this message, Dr. Stanley reminds us of God’s true purpose for our lives: to honor and glorify Him by conforming us to the image of Jesus Christ. Why? So that we can show the world what God is like and what life is really all about.

Do you have a heart for God? If so, you are compelled to share the good news of salvation with a lost and dying world. In this sermon, Dr. Stanley explains how having a heart for God means we desire to know God, obey Christ, and share the gospel.

In his powerful sermon, “Peace on Earth,” Dr. Stanley asks, “In a world full of conflict, how can there be peace?” He reminds us that Jesus came as the Prince of Peace: not as the source of peace for nations but for individuals. Our peace should be based on a relationship—a relationship to one Person, and that’s Jesus Christ. He is the inception of true, genuine, and everlasting peace that makes it possible for us to walk through difficulties, hardships, trials, and heartaches.
