Tony Evans' Top 40: 40 Powerful Sermons over 40 Years Volume 1

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.

#1 – Sharing the Good News (2 Kings 7:1-16): A cup that’s only half full is a lot less likely to spill. But Dr. Tony Evans teaches that the gospel is supposed to fill us up until it overflows to the people around us. The lesson will help you recognize how God has intervened in your life and the difference He can make for the people you care about.

#2 – The Study of God (Jeremiah 9:23-24): There are many important things in our day-to-day lives, but as important as those things may be, none should outrank the importance of studying God. Through the study of His character and traits, we find a new driving force in our lives and learn to define things as He does. Join Tony Evans in this look at one of the most meaningful, authentic, beneficial, and challenging studies we will encounter in our lives.

#3 – Praying and Waiting for God’s Timing (1 Kings 18:4-46): Have you ever wanted to see your prayer life become more powerful? When Elijah offered up a prayer to the heavens in a time of drought, God brought rain to an area that desperately needed it. Tony Evans wants to take you from ritualistic communication to the same kind of relational communication that Elijah had, and he’ll start by showing you the way God works when you learn to pray effectively.

#4 – The Concept of Worship (John 4:19-24): Whenever Sunday rolls around at the beginning of the week, it’s important to remember that the reason we attend church is not merely because of what day it is, but rather to worship our risen Savior. In the midst of a bigger, better or even more biblical worship, sometimes, the true purpose for worship gets lost. In this lesson, Tony Evans explores the importance of worship and the impact it will make on your life when you adopt the right mindset.

#5 – Lie: God Is Holding Out on You (Genesis 3:1-6): Does it ever feel like God is going out of His way to place harsh and undeserved limitations on your life? Satan certainly wants you to believe that’s the case—even going as far as misquoting Scripture itself. Satan does this in order to convince you to focus on what you cannot have instead of what you can or do have. While some boundaries in life may seem unfair, in this sermon, Tony Evans seeks to remind you that God is able to maximize the freedoms He has given you when you place your focus on God’s truth.

#6 – Rebounding from Broken Relationships (Genesis 45:1-7): It’s no surprise that by living in such a broken world, you’re bound to come across broken relationships at one point or another. Whether you’ve been holding tight to a grudge your whole life or the person in question just isn’t around anymore, Tony Evans says there is always hope for healing. Join him in this lesson on the principles of overcoming those broken relationships that you may have thought hopeless long ago.

#7 – Freedom from Anxiet (Matthew 6:25-34): If God promised us peace, why are we still experiencing anxiety? In this lesson, Dr. Evans explains why being worried at all is a bigger problem than whatever we’re worried about. He’ll also explore practical, biblical ways to break free from this sinful form of fear.

#8 – The Authority of the Kingdom Agenda (Exodus 19:3-8): Within every kingdom, there is an authority to which every citizen looks for guidance and leadership. But when it comes to God’s kingdom, there are far too many Christians who jump at the opportunity to ignore Christ’s authority and operate under their own agenda. In this lesson, learn how your experience of heavenly authority is tied to how you view and respond to God’s authoritative book: the Bible.

#9 – The Pursuit of God (James 4:7-12): The Declaration of Independence talks about the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But pursuing something is no guarantee you’ll find it. In this message, Tony Evans comments on how to make your pursuit of God more successful as he focuses on a lesson from the book of James.

#10 – Redefining Success (Jeremiah 9:23-24): In our world today, one common goal that nearly every person shares is that of becoming successful. While our society may offer many different definitions and even methods of obtaining success, Tony Evans says that the secret to finding it can be found no further than the very Bible you carry. Join him as he shows us how the key to authentic success isn’t found in our jobs or bank accounts, but rather in our experiential knowledge of God.
