Unshakable – Character That Doesn’t Collapse

What holds you up when life shakes you?

When pressure builds, when uncertainty rises, when things don’t go as planned – what keeps you standing? Many try to hold themselves up through effort, discipline, or reputation, but Peter shows us that true character – the kind that remains firm in the storm – isn’t built by striving. It’s built by staying close to Jesus.

In this message, we look at what it means to have unshakable character. Holiness is more than just avoiding sin – it’s about who you are becoming. It’s not a list of rules, but a transformation that happens when you stay connected to Christ. And if holiness isn’t shaping your character into something unshakable, then what is it doing?

Watch this message as we explore how true holiness builds a character that won’t collapse – no matter what comes next.
