In this message, Tony Evans will show you the spiritual power that you already possess and how prayer is the hidden key to accessing it.

5 Lessons from the Book of Haggai - Tony Evans
The book of Haggai was written to the Jewish remnant that had returned to their homeland after the Babylonian captivity. Unfortunately, they were suffering from spiritual insensitivity and inertia. God had been put on their back burner, and his kingdom priorities had become secondary to their personal priorities. So though the people were supposed to put God first by rebuilding the temple, they were letting it lay in ruins while they built their own houses. At the same time, however, they wanted God to prioritize them. One of the kingdom principles seen throughout Scripture is that we must seek God’s kingdom and glory above all. God will not allow himself to be in second place in the lives of his people. His message through Haggai was that if the people would put his kingdom agenda before their own agenda, then they would have his help. He wanted them to know what Jesus would tell his disciples many years later: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you” (Matt 6:33). ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Obadiah - Tony Evans
Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament, is a prophetic condemnation of Edom for its treatment of the people of Judah. Theirs was a conflict dating back to the twins in Rebekah’s womb, who were their patriarchs. The Edomites were descendants of her elder son Esau, and the people of Judah were the descendants of Jacob. Just as there was conflict in the womb between Jacob and Esau (see Gen 25:21-26), there was conflict between their peoples. The Edomites had closed their borders and their hearts to the people of Israel on their way to the promised land. They also reveled in the judgment and destruction of Judah years later by the Babylonians, picking off some stragglers and returning others to their captors. They even looted Jerusalem after its fall. God’s judgment against Edom, therefore, was harsh: the nation would be destroyed with no possibility of recovery. It tells us God is opposed to piling additional troubles on those who are suffering, even if they are being disciplined by him. Obadiah, in fact, teaches the vital lesson that God’s treatment of us is based in part on the way we treat others in his kingdom family. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Nahum - Tony Evans
The book of Nahum is God’s announcement of judgment on the kingdom of Assyria, specifically on its capital city, Nineveh. God had used the Assyrians as the agents of judgment against his people for their rebellion and disobedience: Assyria had destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel and carried the inhabitants into captivity. But through Nahum, God was declaring that the cruel, evil Assyrian Empire would fall, too. The book also has a second purpose. The prophet wanted to assure God’s people that he would restore them according to his kingdom promises if they would repent and return to him. Though God had allowed Israel’s painful, crushing defeat because of their sin, he would not let his people’s sins cancel out his promises. Nahum’s name means “to console” or “consolation.” And through this prophet, God was consoling his people in the midst of their painful judgment and also letting Nineveh know that he would not ignore their evil. Nahum informs us that God is loving, yet he is also just. We must not allow one aspect of his character to cancel out the other in our minds. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Jonah - Tony Evans
Jeroboam II. He was called by God to go to the wicked city of Nineveh and tell its people to repent. While it’s easy to miss the concern of this book by focusing on Jonah, it is really about the character of God. It begins with God and ends with God. He is the one who initiates all the action. The message of the book for Israel related to what was happening to Jonah. That message was that God loves all people, Jews and Gentiles. Though Israel’s sins put them in the same scenario for judgment that the Ninevites were in, Jonah showed the Israelites that God’s love is for all who repent. The book of Jonah, in fact, is a message of grace because God gave the Ninevites a forty-day window in which to repent. It reveals to us the heart of God to see people across all racial, social, class, and cultural lines repent and be saved. And our hearts should reflect the same desire. Jonah was a reluctant prophet who God used to teach us the kingdom perspective God’s people are to have toward all people. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Zephaniah - Tony Evans
The theme of Zephaniah is the day of the Lord—a time of darkness, gloom, and pain as God’s response to people’s sin, whether that of unbelievers or that of his people. Nevertheless, the day of the Lord also has a positive side. It is a time of restoration after judgment, like the construction of new buildings in place of the condemned ones that were torn down. Zephaniah not only wrote about the day of the Lord in his time, but also about the day of the Lord yet to come in the seven-year tribulation at the end of history. Then, God will judge the world and prepare the nation of Israel for Christ’s second coming to establish his millennial kingdom. Today, we experience glimpses of the day of the Lord as he judges us for our sins, with the hope of restoration. Society at large will see it in the days to come as God judges the world for its rejection of Christ. The character of God demands that this day must come, so place yourself in a posture of repentance. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Amos - Tony Evans
The prophecy of Amos was delivered to the people in the northern kingdom of Israel who appeared to be experiencing kingdom blessings. But God had a message for them: prosperity does not imply kingdom blessing when it is mixed with rebellion against him. Amos’s readers were actually living under God’s displeasure because they enjoyed the benefits of prosperity while ignoring the disenfranchised among them. They celebrated their affluence while being unjust to those who didn’t enjoy the same economic and social status. Amos was very direct in telling the people they could not enjoy kingdom benefits without living kingdom lives. God expects his people to be a blessing; we should not simply use his blessings for selfish indulgence. The people needed to learn that living under God’s kingdom rule was to be done in an obedient and generous way. Amos also prophesied about the day when a restored remnant of Israel would be the means through whom God would bring blessing to all people. Amos shows how God uses those living under his kingdom plan to accomplish his promises of blessing. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?

5 Lessons from the Book of Malachi - Tony Evans
Malachi is the in-your-face prophet who has one simple message: Take God seriously. The priests of his day were playing religious games, going through religious motions, and leading God’s people to worship casually. Malachi was called to confront God’s people with who he really is. When you understand who God is and how much he loves his people, you don’t treat him carelessly. God was insulted by the sloppy worship of Malachi’s time: people were bringing him animals for sacrifice that they wouldn’t serve to their human leaders. They didn’t esteem God as the great King that he is. Moreover, they were divorcing without cause because they didn’t take God’s covenant of marriage seriously, and they were robbing him of the tithes due to him. God’s people were acknowledging his name without engaging his person. As a result, things were falling apart. Locusts were destroying the agriculture. Yet, through it all, the people acted as if they’d done nothing wrong. The book of Malachi is a call to all of us that, while God is a loving Father, he is not to be taken lightly. His kingdom demands our total allegiance. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
