As discouraging as trials can be, no amount of complaining or self-pity can ever bring about a solution. In fact, our negative thoughts and attitudes actually make our problems worse. So how can we maintain a proper perspective when our problems weigh heavily on our shoulders?

In his inspiring message, “A Proper Perspective in Trouble,” Dr. Stanley reminds us that trials and challenges are no time for frustration, but rather a time to shine for Christ. This sermon will help you recognize that adversity is a tool the Master uses to shape us. It will not only help you survive your difficulties, but also find victory in them.

This message is part of the series, Living Triumphantly: A Study of First Peter, and covers 1 Peter 1:6-9.
