So many of us settle for second best. As Christians, we desire to be more like Christ, but we struggle with the how-to. We exude fake godliness, where we walk and talk like Christians, but in reality, we have not surrendered ourselves to Him. Tony Evans takes us deep into Scripture to find out how we can obtain and maintain true godliness.

The Meaning of Godliness (1 Timothy 6:1-11) - In every church, there are people who have embraced a form of godliness. They appear godly on the outside, but inside, they miss the mark. Tony Evans shows us a biblical definition of godliness, which has less to do with our outward appearance and more to do with our reflecting the character of God.
The Mystery of Godliness (1 Timothy 6:1-11) - Godliness may be our ability to reflect the character of God, but how we both gain and utilize that ability is a bit of a mystery. While so many of us try to live holy lives by our own efforts, the truth is that godliness is a Christ-driven transformation.
The Means to Godliness (1 Timothy 6:1-11) - God has begun the transformation that enables us to reflect His character. He has given us the tools to live godly lives, but how do we use those tools? Tony Evans explains that we’ll need to discipline ourselves for godliness—a commitment that will require more than just our Sunday mornings.
The Motivation for Godliness (1 Timothy 6:1-11) - Even as Christians who have been regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit, the temptation and habit of sin is strong, and many of us struggle to discipline ourselves as God desires. That is why He has provided the great reward of contentment for those who pursue godliness.
