The Urban Alternative with Dr Tony Evans
Weekdays from 6pm
When the Hubble telescope took flight with its powerful lens, it allowed us to see things in space we had never seen before — to catch an entirely new perspective of the universe. Today, Dr. Evans reveals how scripture urges us to live in light of eternity, viewing our earthly life through the lens of our eternal life. Let’s join him in the first verses of Second Peter chapter three as he begins.
It’s been famously said that with great privilege comes great responsibility. Dr. Evans says that’s certainly true with the greatest privilege of all — the privilege of having accepted the free gift of salvation and being a part of God’s family. Let’s join him today as he takes a look at The Responsibility of Judgment.
In the past 55 years, more than 150 Olympic medals have been stripped away from athletes or teams who broke the rules and were considered undeserving of their rewards. Dr. Evans notes that in a similar way, unfaithful believers can lose rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
In the business world, rewards are often given to those who’ve demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation, or achievements. In God’s Kingdom, believers can expect recognition from the Lord for the things they’ve done on His behalf.
It’s common practice for movies and TV series to show previews of coming attractions – and God has done the same for us in the Bible, giving us a taste of what’s coming in the time between now and eternity. Today, Dr. Evans talks about humankind’s longing for a perfect world… and what’s kept us from living there so far.
It’s easy for modern life and the constant onslaught of social media and cultural concerns to distract us from paying attention to God. But today, Dr. Evans talks about a time coming when ignoring Jesus simply won’t be an option.
Biblical prophecy tells us that, in the end, God wins and his kingdom lasts forever. But it also says there are some pretty scary things destined to happen along the way. Dr. Evans will tell us about one of them today as he explores the coming Tribulation.
When we became Christians, Jesus saved us from hell. But that doesn’t mean we won’t find ourselves standing before the judgment seat of Christ. Today, Dr. Evans will tell us what to expect when that happens… and what we can do about it today.
How and when it’ll happen have been matters of debate since the beginning, but Jesus is coming back for his church. When he does, things are going to change… starting with us.
