The Courage to Say 'No' – Dr. Charles Stanley

Adam, Eve, Cain, Samson, David—what do these people have in common? They all had the opportunity to say no to sin and failed.

Resisting temptation takes courage. In this message, Dr. Stanley uses the lives of Joseph and Daniel to demonstrate that, although it may be difficult, obeying God—and leaving the consequences to Him—is always the best option.

This sermon is part of the series, Courage for the Christian Life.
