Tony Evans' Sermons - Audio - The Authority of the Kingdom Agenda

Too many Christians build their lives around what people say about the Bible instead of what the Bible says about people. Dr. Tony Evans explains why Scripture must remain the final authority for believers who want to live according to God’s Kingdom.

Leading The Way Radio Podcast - Faith Fosters Forgiveness

Forgiveness isn't always easy—but Jesus commands it. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Luke 17, where Christ warns against spiritual stumbling blocks and calls believers to confront sin with humility and forgive those who repent. When Jesus commanded His disciples to forgive repeatedly, they responded, "Increase our faith." Why? Because true forgiveness requires more than human strength. It takes faith rooted in God's Word, prayer, and complete dependence on Jesus Christ. Dr. Youssef reminds us that faith fosters forgiveness. When we trust God's power instead of our own, we can release bitterness, reject self-righteousness, and extend the mercy we have received. This episode calls you to: Recognize spiritual traps and false teaching, Confront sin with humility and Biblical Truth, Forgive others without keeping score, Ask God to increase your faith, Overcome bitterness through prayer and surrender, Show Christ's mercy while awaiting His return. Forgiveness begins with faith. When Christ strengthens our hearts, we can forgive what once seemed impossible. Scripture Focus: Luke 17:1–10 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

Faith & Finance - Rethinking Open Enrollment with Lauren Gajdek

It's almost time for health insurance open enrollment again. For many families, that means sorting through premiums, deductibles, coverage options, and rising healthcare costs. But what if you didn't have to wait for open enrollment to explore a different approach? Traditional health insurance isn't the only option available to Christians. Health cost-sharing ministries offer an alternative rooted in biblical community, mutual support, and financial stewardship. Lauren Gajdek, Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), joined us today to explain how this approach works and why more Christians are exploring it. Why Healthcare Decisions Feel So Overwhelming Choosing healthcare coverage can be one of a family's most stressful financial decisions. Between monthly premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, and uncertainty about future medical needs, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. And those feelings are widespread. According to a recent survey from KFF, a healthcare policy research organization, Americans who enrolled in Marketplace coverage reported significant frustration with the process: 63% said evaluating their options made them feel worried. 52% said they felt angry. 46% said they felt confused. These numbers show how challenging it can be to navigate healthcare decisions, especially when families try to balance quality care with responsible financial stewardship. But as Lauren explained, Christians have another option. What Is Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)? Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM) is the nation's longest-serving health cost-sharing ministry, having served Christians since 1981. Unlike traditional insurance, CHM operates through a voluntary community of believers who contribute monthly to help share one another's eligible medical expenses. Rather than paying premiums to an insurance company, members participate in a ministry designed around Christians helping Christians. This approach reflects the biblical principle in Galatians 6:2: "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Of course, CHM is not insurance, and it differs in important ways. Sharing is subject to the ministry's guidelines, and payment of medical expenses is not guaranteed. Members remain responsible for their medical bills. That's why it's essential to understand the program's eligibility requirements, limitations, and sharing process before joining. Still, for many Christian families, health cost sharing provides an opportunity to approach healthcare expenses through the lens of faith and community. You Don't Have to Wait for Open Enrollment One of the most appealing distinctions between CHM and traditional health insurance is that CHM doesn't have a limited open enrollment period. With conventional health insurance, individuals often must enroll or make changes during designated periods unless they experience a qualifying life event. CHM operates differently. Because it isn't an insurance company, individuals and families can apply for membership year-round. That flexibility means you don't have to make a rushed decision during the traditional open enrollment season. You can take time to explore your options, understand the guidelines, and determine whether health cost sharing fits your family's circumstances. As Lauren explained, you don't have to limit your consideration of a different approach to healthcare to a particular time of year. Why More Christians Are Exploring Health Cost Sharing Int

Daily Devotional By Archbishop Foley Beach - Jesus Explained that His Followers Would Both Pray and Fast, and Prayer and Fasting Are Matters of Heart Between His Followers and God

Jesus Explained that His Followers Would Both Pray and Fast, and Prayer and Fasting Are Matters of Heart Between His Followers and God MESSAGE SUMMARY: There are times when you need clarity, understanding, knowledge and insights from God about the specific issues that you are facing. In your personal relationship with God, the Lord will speak to you; but sometimes it takes both your listening and fasting to hear Him. Jesus, in Matthew 6:18, was speaking to the Apostles as well as those gathered for His “Sermon on the Mount” where he explained that praying and fasting are matters of the heart between Jesus Followers and God. Jesus assumes that his followers will fast: "that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Lay Up Treasures in Heaven.”. Also, when Joel received a Word when the land was to be destroyed, he called a fast (i.e. Joel 1:14): “Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”. Some things you are facing in your life must be dealt with by both prayer and fasting. Fasting releases a spiritual power – in your weakness, God is made strong in your life. Daniel’s prayer, from Daniel 9:3-5, provides a context for asking direction from God: “Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.’". TODAY’S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus’ name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Tony Evans' Sermons - Audio - The Spheres of the Kingdom Agenda

God’s agenda for His people reaches into every area of life. Dr. Tony Evans examines the different spheres where God’s Kingdom should be expressed and explains what changes when we begin viewing our personal lives, families, churches, and communities from His perspective.

Love Worth Finding | Audio Program - In the Twinkling of an Eye

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “Rapture” means to be caught up or snatched away speedily; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 explores the sacred mystery of the Rapture, which is prophesied in the Book of Revelation. “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). The central figure of this event is Jesus Christ, who is returning to rapture His church: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). When Jesus descends with a shout, the dead in Christ rise first, then the living saints will be caught up to meet them in the air. Adrian Rogers says, “If you have the same nature as Jesus Christ when He comes again, you’re the one going up, whether you’re beneath the ground or on top of the ground. If you’ve been Heaven-born, you will be Heaven-bound.” This passage should be of comfort to us, knowing that we will meet Him in the air. We are assured of the rapture by the saving work of the Lord, which is the Gospel. We are also assured by the Word of the Lord, which is Scripture. Though we don’t know the exact date when the rapture will occur, we know it is close and certain; it will happen “in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trump” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). There will be signs of the times; these don’t predict the Second Coming but simply affirm it will take place. Though the “when” of the Rapture is a mystery, the “why” is clear; it is God’s divine strategy to rescue His Bride from the Great Tribulation to come. It is when we will reunite with our fellow Christians who have died, as we are all received by the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. After we are caught up in the air, the Bridegroom will take us, His Bride, to the place He has prepared for us. Apply it to your life You can have peace in these treacherous Last Days if you keep your eyes on Jesus’ Second Coming; learn of it, live for it, long for it, and share it with others.

Leading The Way Radio Podcast - The Rich Man and Lazarus

Pride kills praise. In this powerful message from Empowered by Praise, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that pride is not a small weakness—it is a spiritual danger that robs believers of joy, blessing, and fruitfulness. Drawing from the inerrant Word of God, Dr. Youssef contrasts King David and Michal. David praised the Lord with all his might, laying aside status and self-image to honor God alone. Michal looked on with contempt, and her pride left her spiritually barren. This episode calls believers to: Repent of pride and self-centered worship, Praise God with humility and surrender, Reject criticism that quenches spiritual joy, Restore power in prayer and intercession, Live as faithful witnesses to the Gospel. True praise is not performance—it is sacrifice. When believers humble themselves before the Lord Jesus Christ, praise becomes the antidote to pride and the pathway to renewed spiritual power.

Faith & Finance - Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture, it's more. More upgrades. More comfort. More square footage. More of whatever promises to make life a little better. Yet, despite having more than previous generations could have imagined, many of us feel less satisfied than ever. Why? Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next. It's cultivated in the heart, right where we are. And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon. It's something we can learn. Why More Is Never Enough We're all tempted to believe that the next purchase, promotion, milestone, or change in circumstances will finally make us feel satisfied. But this longing for just a little more is as old as humanity itself. Consider King Solomon. Ecclesiastes tells us that he denied himself nothing his eyes desired. He accumulated extraordinary wealth, pursued pleasure, and enjoyed nearly everything the world could offer. Yet, when he reflected on all he had accomplished, he described it as a chasing after the wind (Ecclesiastes 2:11). Solomon discovered what we often learn the hard way: lasting satisfaction cannot be bought, achieved, or accumulated. Whenever we look to possessions to satisfy our deepest longings, contentment seems to slip through our fingers. The Apostle Paul understood this, too. In Philippians 4:11, he writes, "I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." Notice that word learned. Contentment doesn't come naturally, nor does it depend on favorable circumstances. It's cultivated through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Paul goes on to reveal the secret: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). We often hear that verse applied to achieving ambitious goals or overcoming obstacles. But in context, Paul is talking about something quite different. He's describing his ability to remain content whether he has plenty or very little. Writing from prison, Paul wasn't celebrating worldly success. He was testifying to Christ's sustaining strength in every circumstance. Contentment isn't found in having everything. It's found in knowing the One who is enough. Contentment Begins With Our Shepherd In our devotional, Our Ultimate Treasure, I explore how contentment begins with recognizing that we have a Shepherd who faithfully cares for us. Psalm 23:1 declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Think about the significance of that statement. We belong to Him. We live under His watchful care and depend on His provision. Even when circumstances are uncertain or resources are limited, we can trust the One who knows our needs. Hebrews 13:5 adds another beautiful dimension to this truth: "Be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" Notice the connection. Scripture grounds our contentment not in the abundance of our possessions, but in the assurance of God's presence. Our circumstances may change. Our financial resources may rise or fall. We may experience seasons of abundance and seasons of genuine hardship. But through it all, the Lord remains faithful. We don't have to depend on our possessions for the security and satisfaction that only God can provide. Gratitude Cultivates Contentment Another important practice that helps us grow in contentment is gratitude. Where gratitude grows, contentment has room to flourish. When we intentionally thank God for His provision, our attention shifts from craving what's next to appreciating what He's already given. Instead of dwelling on what we lack, we begin noticing the blessings we might otherwise overlook. And often, that shift begins with the simplest things. Consider

Daily Devotional By Archbishop Foley Beach - God Gives a Jesus Follower’s Life Meaning and Purpose, Satisfies their Hunger to Know Their Life’s Purpose, and Forgives Their Sins

God Gives a Jesus Follower’s Life Meaning and Purpose, Satisfies their Hunger to Know Their Life’s Purpose, and Forgives Their Sins MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Jesus tells us in John 15:12-14, that you, as His follower, are His “friend: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends.". God became flesh, and He dwelt among us. God became human to draw you into a personal relationship with Him. In John 1:14, the Apostle John identifies Jesus as the “Son of the Father”: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.". God alone can satisfy the meaning and purpose of your life. God alone can satisfy your hunger to know your life’s meaning. Most importantly, God alone can give you forgiveness of your sins as Paul tells us in Colossians 2:13-14: “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.". Jesus’ life, miracles, death, and His Resurrection are invitations to a life-long personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe. Our personal relationship with God is through His gift, to Jesus Followers, of the Holy Spirit. TODAY’S PRAYER: Lord, help me to grab hold of you today. I need you. Set me free to begin reorienting my life around you, and you alone. Help me to pay attention to and honor how you have uniquely made me. Thank you for the gift of rest. In Jesus’ name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 122). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Loneliness. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Presence. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
