Exalting Christ (Colossians 1:18): How are supposed to respond to our God who is unlike any other? There are countless ways to respond, one of which is through exaltation. Tony Evans says if you understand the uniqueness we have in Jesus Christ and His authority over us, then we are to exalt Him in every aspect of our lives. Join Dr. Evans as he shows you four different aspects of the exaltation of Christ in this lesson.
Loving Christ (John 21:15-17): When Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him above all else, his response to Christ was an obvious, “Yes.” But the thing about love is that it’s only easy to confess when there are no consequences—a lesson Peter soon learns after Jesus is taken captive. In this lesson, Tony Evans shows you the full story of Peter’s denial to fully demonstrate the definition of what it means to love Christ.
Following Christ (Luke 5:1-11): As a Christian, it’s easy to fall into the trap of spiritually piggybacking off of other believers’ relationship with God. But Tony Evans says that the call to follow Jesus is a personal one and whether you choose to follow or not follow Christ is entirely up to you. Learn what it means to follow Jesus and how having Him at the center will affect your life.
Obeying Christ (Matthew 7:24-29): It’s easy to obey something when it deals with areas you’re comfortable with, but what about the uncomfortable aspects of obedience? Tony Evans says that if we desire to know God as He wishes to be known, then we must follow Him even if that means obedience outside of our comfort zones. In this lesson, you’ll learn about three key things every believer should know when it comes to obeying Christ in everything we do.
Sharing Christ (2 Corinthians 5:9-21): For all of history, there is a terminal disease that has affected and infected every man, woman and child—and it’s called sin. Thankfully, as believers, we have been freely given the cure to this disease which is the blood of Jesus Christ, and it’s up to us to share it with the world. If witnessing just isn’t a priority or you just don’t know how to share the good news, Tony Evans is here to encourage you as he explains the message, motivation and method of sharing Christ with the world.
Serving Christ (John 12:23-26): When you think about serving God’s kingdom, you may think about volunteering at a church or homeless shelter. And while those are two methods of serving, Tony Evans says that serving Christ can go much further beyond what we think it does. That’s why, in this lesson, Dr. Evans will show you seven different ways in which we can serve the Lord in our walk with Him.
Prioritizing Christ (Revelation 2:1-7): Tony Evans defines overcoming as finding victory over something that is seeking to defeat you, oppress you or make you a victim. Well, God wants to see you overcome all trials you may face and it starts with whether or not you choose to prioritize Him in your life. Learn the secret to overcoming any circumstance through the power of Him who has overcome the world.
