This thing is so serious and the death of Christ is so potent that when taken seriously

it can stop the circumstances, the devil and the sin from owning you.

Dr. Tony Evans says participating in the Lord's Supper provides a special connection with Christ.

It is the point of intimacy that takes what he did 2,000 years ago and allows you through communion to experience it today.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oaklef Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas and president of the Urban Alternative.

A man one day was going on a date with his girlfriend and it was like the anniversary of when they first met.

She was quite excited to open up this box.

She tried to fake it to make it to give the impression, oh, how nice, how cute.

She said sure and she gave him the pillow.
