Charles Stanley - Beyond Ourselves

Based on 2 Corinthians 1:8-11, this message focuses on the life of Paul and how he understood what it meant to be pushed to the limits of his strength. It describes how he went beyond human limits to survive and triumph over difficult circumstances.

There are two opposing ways to respond to adversity. Some people get bitter at unexpected hardship. They may become angry at God and draw back from a relationship with Him or even walk completely away from their faith. Other believers go through difficulty but develop a stronger relationship with God. They grow in their understanding of how to draw strength from His supernatural ability to carry them through life’s challenges, surrounded by His love and enabled by His sustaining power.
