Do you sometimes feel bored by the Christian life? That isn't what our heavenly Father intends for His children. Our lives, from the moment of salvation until we see Jesus face to face, should be characterized by excitement and adventure. How? Through the invitations the Lord provides to draw closer to Him and to participate with Him in touching the lives of others.


God commands us to be careful in how we live. He instructs us to be wise in our decisions and alert to the opportunities He provides (Eph. 5:15-17). In this sermon, Dr. Stanley looks at seven biblical passages in which men and women had the choice whether or not to respond to the Lord. Through their examples—good and bad—we can learn more about how our lives can be characterized by adventure and promise.

    Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins, renew my mind, strengthen my faith and resilience during trials and adversity, cast out the evil sin in my life, help me to be inspired and motivated, bless me with supernatural assistance and aid from friends and family, help me to manage my finances wisely and godly and be with me Lord when I feel like giving up and falling apart. Amen.

  • I was depressed. I grew up in a chaotic environment with a family filled with violence and every kind of maliciousness bitterness rage anger and addictions. I am a silent person and what happened was I threw myself in books after the first book to live in an imagined world but one day I thought if I could put my heart the way I put my heart to my mangas to the books I read how great that would be now I am reading the bible like never before after it had collected dust from my neglect.

  • No more missed opportunities, forgive us ABBA FATHER for our disobedience to take care of the things that concern You. I am fully aware of my inability but You work in me and through me for Your Kingdom's cause.

    When I was unsaved and dead in sin, I was unaware of the goodness and mercy of God. Now, I'm alive and find actual joy in sharing the Gospel with people. Thank you, Father.
