The Urban Alternative with Dr Tony Evans

Perfect strangers can turn into good friends when they have shared interests and common ground. Dr. Evans says the church should be an example of that as believers view one another through God’s eyes, placing our shared purpose above any cultural and racial differences that may exist.

Perfect strangers can turn into good friends when they have shared interests and common ground. Dr. Evans says the church should be an example of that as believers view one another through God’s eyes, placing our shared purpose above any cultural and racial differences that may exist.

The Bible has been used in the past to justify racial hatred of all kinds. But today, Dr. Evans explains what the Word really says about how we should deal with our differences… physically and culturally.

Racists come in all colors and styles because, as Dr. Evans says, we pay more attention to the things that divide us than we do to the God who unites us. But today, he explains how we can reverse this “racial curse”.

Today, Dr. Evans digs into the importance of dreaming big, godly dreams about tomorrow — and how doing that can radically change our lives.

While cleanliness may be next to Godliness, it’ll take more than just a bit of scrubbing to clean up our lives. Today, Dr. Evans explores the means God has given us to become more like Him – and the benefits we’ll enjoy along the way.

We all love a good mystery, especially that moment when everything clicks into place. Today, Dr. Evans shines some light from the Bible on The Mystery of Godliness, revealing the key to living a Godly life.

There are some great foods out there that simply can’t be made when the recipe omits a key ingredient; likewise, Godliness will never become a reality in our lives if we leave out the essential component. Today, Dr. Evans explores just what that special ingredient is as he unveils The Mystery of Godliness.

Desiring to live a life of Godliness is a noble goal, but like any goal, we need to know what it looks like before we can move towards it. Today, Dr. Evans continues his look at Godliness through the lens of Scripture — what it is, what it isn’t, and why we should actively seek it.

A student or employee can complete a first-rate project for their teacher or boss – but they’re unlikely to receive credit if what they did was not the assigned task. Today, Dr. Tony Evans points out the failures we experience in life may be the result of working on the wrong assignment.

Many of us go to great lengths to give the impression that everything is OK and we’ve got it all together. But Dr. Evans says time spent trying to ‘fake it to make it’ is meaningless when there’s no connection with God and eternity. Let’s join him in the Book of Revelation as he challenges us to be authentic in our faith.

It’s fairly easy to spot a Christian who looks the part, but not as easy to spot one who lives the part – a believer who’s authentic through and through. Let’s look at how to become that kind of disciple as Dr. Evans takes us to Revelation 3:14 for today’s lesson.

A lot of people want to take what Jesus offers – but don’t want to follow what he says. Dr. Evans takes us to Revelation 3:7 today as he explains why that strategy doesn’t work.

Dr. Evans says increasing your Christian commitment isn’t a matter of just taking on more activities. It calls for something deeper than that, and we’ll find out what it is as we turn to Revelation, chapter 3 for today’s lesson.

Sometimes, the church’s efforts to bring more people in can result in pushing God’s word out. Let’s join Dr. Evans as he takes us to Revelation, chapter 2 for a look at the danger of “dumbing down” God’s standards.
