A character in the musical Fiddler on the Roof proclaimed, “It’s no shame to be poor… but it’s no great honor either.” Dr. Tony Evans talks about one kind of poverty that carries surprising spiritual advantages.
We spend a lot of time asking God for blessings—but what if we’re missing the ones right in front of us? Dr. Tony Evans explains how to recognize and respond to God’s provision.
Every choice we make plants a seed—and sooner or later, we reap the results. Dr. Tony Evans shows how sowing into the Spirit leads to an abundant harvest, and why doing good within the body of Christ carries eternal significance.
We tend to celebrate accomplishments that make us look good—but Scripture points us to boast in something else entirely. Dr. Tony Evans shows why the cross is our true source of identity and confidence, reshaping how we see ourselves and others.
Spiritual fruit doesn’t grow by accident—it comes from a life rooted in the Spirit and lived out in community. Dr. Tony Evans explains how grace not only transforms us, but equips us to restore others with humility and love.
Even the most committed believer can feel pulled between what God desires and what the flesh craves. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans helps us understand that inner conflict and shows how walking by the Spirit empowers us to win.
Some people think freedom in Christ means doing whatever they want—but Paul had something very different in mind. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains what true freedom looks like and how to resist sliding back into spiritual bondage.
Some Christians live life in spiritual slavery—not truly believing God has already set them free. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains what it means to be adopted by grace and fully embraced as sons and daughters of God.
Contracts can be broken, but a promise from God is unfailing. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans unpacks why the covenant God made through Christ can’t be nullified by human effort—and why performance-based religion will always fall short.
Have you ever tried to fix a problem yourself but only made things worse? In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains why relying on our own strength short-circuits God’s grace—and how the Christian life, from start to finish, is powered by faith, not self-effort.
Peer pressure isn’t just a teenage problem—and it’s certainly nothing new. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans examines how culture clouded conviction in the early church, and reminds us of the crucial role God’s grace plays in our lives.
Keeping rules might make us look spiritual—but it can’t make us right with God. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains why trying to earn God’s favor through performance only leads to guilt and bondage… and how grace sets us free to truly grow.
Some people water down the truth. Others try to replace it altogether. In this part two message, Dr. Tony Evans explains why God’s grace and the sufficiency of Christ are not only the foundation of our salvation, but also the starting point for our spiritual growth.
When you’re searching for answers, too many voices can leave you more confused than when you started. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans clears up spiritual confusion as he takes a look at the liberating truth of the Gospel.
Dr. Tony Evans believes every Christian has the power and potential to succeed. In this message, he’ll explain what the doorway to that success looks like—and how to use the keys God’s given us to unlock it.
In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared the enslaved free—but in some places, that news didn’t arrive for months. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how the same thing can happen spiritually when believers don’t realize Christ has already set them free.
Freedom is free—that’s the good news of the gospel. So why is it that so many of us aren’t really living like it? In this message, Dr. Tony Evans shares an encouraging reminder about the “Good News of Freedom” and how to truly experience it.
To some, communion is just a ritual. But in this message, Dr. Tony Evans unpacks the deeper meaning behind the bread and the cup—and explains how this sacred practice can renew your relationship with Christ.
Even in gardening, good intentions don’t always produce a harvest. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans draws a powerful comparison between cultivating crops and cultivating faith—and what it takes for spiritual growth to take root and flourish.
Before He went to the cross, Jesus prayed that His followers would be one. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explores how that unity can become a reality in our churches, families and communities. Don’t miss this timely message.

Thank you, Dr. Evans. This month marks 15 years since our oldest Son passed away and I still struggle. 💙🙏
this was fiyyyyah. 🔥👌💯
excited for this series!
If we continue in God's word, we will see God's miraculous power break forth in our situation. Hallelujah! ... very powerful word, and so clearly taught. Thank you Pastor Evans.
This is key. thank you. Tony.
So many things wrong with this message. which is a shame, because I really love this pastor. I will be praying that he be shown the truth. In a dream, through a prophet, or where it really matters... Scripture. man is not immortal. God kicked Adam out of the garden "lest he reach his hand out and become immortal". God alone is immortal. We only get it through faith in Jesus, but actually not until we eat from the tree of life. Anyone reading this that's interested, I can site many many scriptures to prove all of this. not just one (Matthew) that kind of sounds like eternal torment. We cannot even wrap our minds around eternity. Its too long for us. Why wouldn't God say it flat out many times that we would be tortured for ever? And BTW over and over and over hundreds of times scripture says we parish after this life in hell. After our punishment. However long that is. Each man has his own punishment based on works of this life. Some will be beaten with many lashes, some with few. Not en
wonderful analogy with the elephant! Amen! #Freedom
Thank you for your clear, biblical teaching today Dr Evans. It is so good hearing a man speak so passionately about the role of a man in this world that lately seems more interested in emasculating men than promoting them to be the men that God calls them to be.
Thank you for your inspirational teaching today, Dr. Evans. It makes such a refreshing change to hear a man stand up for the role of REAL men in this world. Thank you for reminding us that it is who GOD says that a man is, that defines his role in this world, not who culture says that we are. Just like it's God who sets the role of my fellow sisters in this faith experience called life, not culture.
Thank you for your powerful teaching today, Dr. Evans. It's time for the REAL men to stand up and claim what's rightfully ours in the Kingdom. Society will try and define us but we are NOT what the world says we are. As men, we are who our Bibles tell us that God has been saying that we are since He created us!
Thank you Dr. Evans for your powerful teaching today. As a former people pleaser, I can vouch for all that Tony said. It's utterly exhausting to try and please everyone until you realise, like I did eventually, that it is only God's opinion of you that really holds any weight in your life.
Boom!!!!!
Preloaded to Unload Truth
Amazing how we are living the bible
Powerful
Thank you for your teaching today Pastor. As someone who has been delivered from various emotional strongholds over the years, I can testify to the truth of Tony's words. I found that the less I looked to God the more I convinced myself of my need to meet my own needs. Yet upon deliverance, I realised the truth of Phil 4:13; that it's GOD'S ability to meet my needs that counts, not MY ability to meet my needs.
Thank you, Pastor for your encouraging words today. Let us remember that we can call on Jesus any time we lose sight of our peace that we have by keeping our minds fixed on things above.
Awesome teaching! It may have saved my marriage!!!
Amen!!!!!!
Amen......
