Getting Through the Tough Stuff of Shame Part 1
Thursday, March 11, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Getting Through the Tough Stuff: It's Always Something! If pride precedes a fall, then shame follows it. Strong regret and public censure, mixed with humiliation and embarrassment, comprise one of the most devastating of all human emotions: shame. Who hasn't known the sting of shame? The anguish cannot be adequately expressed in words. The agony defies description. In this message, we will witness how our Lord handled a situation shrouded in shame. What a model He left for us to follow as we get through the tough stuff of shame! John 8:1-11

Getting Through the Tough Stuff of Anxiety Part 2
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Getting Through the Tough Stuff: It's Always Something! Almost without exception, people and anxiety go hand-in-hand. Though we should know better, we continue to manufacture worries and nurse fears. Yet anxiety is nothing more than wasting today's time and resources to clutter up tomorrow's possibilities with yesterday's struggles. In spite of that, it remains for some a continual preoccupation. This message takes a straight look at this energy-draining reality. By seeking it at work in another's life, we may gain sufficient perspective to get through the tough stuff of anxiety. Luke 10:38-42

Getting Through Tough Stuff of Misunderstanding P3
Monday, March 8, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Getting Through the Tough Stuff: It's Always Something! Being misunderstood is one of the most common problems a Christian must face. People fail to understand our motives. Some jump to false conclusions. Others assume things about Christians that grow out of feelings rather than facts. Misunderstanding should not surprise Christians, however, when you stop to consider that Christ's journey to the cross was in many ways the result of being misunderstood. Take comfort in the fact that, as His disciples, we can connect with the One who can truly sympathize with us through the tough stuff of misunderstanding. Mark 3:1?12, 20?35

Getting Through the Tough Stuff of Temptation P3
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Getting Through the Tough Stuff: It's Always Something! Although Christ's life was marked by trials, He never succumbed to temptation. At each pressure point, He turned to His Father and to God's Word for strength to pass all of life's tests. With Christ accompanying us on life's journey, things that others might interpret as a tragedy or seduction to evil take on a different appearance. Both by His example and through His power, we, too, can get through the tough stuff of temptation. Matthew 4:1-11

Looking Ahead to Things That Last -- Part 3
Friday, February 26, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Family Matters: Investing In the Things That Last Think hard about this question for just a moment: What in your life will endure the test of time; what will withstand the ups and downs of the future? Life is lived in the present, but there is a future coming, even if many live as if the future doesn't matter, as if the choices we make today will not echo into tomorrow. Each of us will leave a legacy after we've passed on to eternity. Memories of your life and your character, for good or for ill, will linger in the lives of your family and friends, making each choice, each word, each moment an essential one. So, what legacy will you leave when today's present becomes tomorrow's past? Genesis 1:26-27 2:18,24

Getting Past the Guilt of Your Past -- Part 3
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Family Matters: Investing In the Things That Last It's one of those little quirks of life: you can pick your friends, you can pick your spouse, but you can't pick your family! No one asked you if you wanted your particular parents or grandparents or siblings or aunts or uncles or cousins, but they're all yours. Being thrown into such a mix inevitably leads to friction because none of them is just like you, and all of you are imperfect. Family relationships are bound to strain at times and in many cases fracture, leading to feelings of failure and guilt, but there is a way to repair and rebuild damaged relationships - whether or not you've chosen them. Isaiah 58:1,4-12
