Tony Evans' Top 40: 40 Powerful Sermons over 40 Years Volume 2

From the pages of God’s Word to the mind of Dr. Tony Evans comes this special collection celebrating the 40th anniversary of the ministry. Experience the timeless lessons that have been prepared, preached and broadcast across the nation through the years.

#11 – The Love of God (Jonah 4:1-11): When Jonah fled to Tarshish, he did so in hopes of circumventing God’s plan for the city of Nineveh. But the question isn’t whether or not God will do what He wishes to accomplish—the question is whether or not we choose to be a part of it. In this lesson, Tony Evans reminds us to not let our emotions overcome our will to submit to God’s perfect sovereignty.

#12 – Understanding God's Grace (Romans 3:23-31): Ask any believer about the concept of Grace and you’ll quickly find it to be a concept known by many, if not all Christians alike. But the truth is for such a small and simple word, it contains a meaning so vast and in-depth that all other words pale in comparison. In this lesson, Tony Evans explains the boundless definition of grace and how a simple word can apply to almost every area of our lives.

#13 – The Existence of Angels (Ezekiel 1:4-21): Angels are everywhere to be found, whether they’re a statue in a gift shop or a character in a television show or movie. But Tony Evans wants you to realize that real angels roam everywhere as he talks about how there’s nothing we can do that doesn’t interact with the angelic realm.

#14 – The Law of Stewardship (2 Corinthians 9:6-11): When it comes time for a farmer to harvest his field, his crops are ready and waiting because of the time he spent planting, nurturing, and growing them. Tony Evans says the Bible tells us that our spiritual lives are no different—without the intentional sowing of seeds, there can be no expectation of harvest for us to reap. Join him in this look at this key principle that won’t just impact you but the lives of those around you.

#15 – The Purpose of Detours (Genesis 37:1-11): Wouldn’t it be great if God could lead you right to the earthly calling He had in store for you? Unfortunately for us, God rarely takes His children to their destiny in the way they might expect. Tony Evans says that in order to fully experience God’s destiny for you, you need to understand the detours He might provide along the way. In this lesson, discover how God uses Joseph’s biggest detour yet in order to begin developing the plans He has in store for him.

#16 – Praying through a Crisis (John 11:1-44): Whether you see it coming from far away or it just hits you out of nowhere, finding yourself face-to-face with a crisis is the kind of unwelcome experience nobody wants to be in. But in the midst of the financial, medical or mental chaos, Dr. Evans is here to remind you to ask yourself a very important question: “How can my crisis bring God glory?” In this lesson, be reminded of God’s power and ability to turn even the darkest of circumstances into that which will bring Him praise like you never could have imagined.

#17 – Connecting Prayer and God's Purpose (1 John 5:13-15): For many Christians, the process of prayer is nothing more than a blessing before dinner or asking God to save you that one parking spot in the shade. But Tony Evans says that prayer was never meant to be a mundane exercise—instead, it exists to bring heavenly involvement into historical context. If prayer has become routine or just doesn’t seem to work for you, you’ll learn in this lesson how to revive that special point of connection that God has in store for all believers.

#18 – The Beauty of Brokenness (2 Corinthians 12:7-10): While the concept of brokenness may sound like nothing more than a negative sentiment, the fact remains that it is those who are broken who get to see God as they’ve never seen Him before. Join Tony Evans as he shows us how your identity in Christ begins to reveal itself when we learn to relinquish our independence and become broken in a way that only God can make whole again.

#19 – The Need for Spiritual Armor (Ephesians 6:10-13): The Bible says that every one of us is in a battle, not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of darkness. But if you aren’t even aware that you’re in the midst of spiritual wat, what reason do you have to prepare for battle? Join Tony Evans in his look at the invisible warfare that spans all lives and the need for spiritual armor that it creates.

#20 – A Challenge toward Authenticity (Revelation 3:14-22): Christianity in America today faces a serious problem that Apostle John writes about in Revelation 3. Our affluence causes many of us to treat our faith as a cultural ritual rather than a genuine calling to submit. Jesus doesn’t want our ritual; He wants a submitted heart.
