Pastor Derek Evans | Until The Whole World Knows Ministry Because Jesus Christ is our great High Priest, believers can hold fast their confession, bring their weakness honestly before God, and approach His throne for mercy and timely help. Our access rests upon the living Savior. It does not depend upon our ability to make ourselves impressive before Him. Main Scripture — Hebrews 4:14–16 (KJV) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Introduction — The Savior Who Brings Us Near Beloved, some people believe God is powerful while remaining uncertain whether they may approach Him with their need. They can encourage some...

Pastor Derek Evans | Until The Whole World Knows Ministry The Holy Spirit does more than empower a moment of ministry. He leads believers into a life in which the desires of the flesh are resisted and the character of Jesus Christ becomes visible. We should desire His gifts, welcome His work, and depend upon His power. We must also yield our ordinary decisions to His direction. Main Scripture — Galatians 5:16–18, 22–25 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Galatians 5:22–25 continues: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and ...

Pastor Derek Evans | Until The Whole World Knows Ministry The Lord's Table calls the church to remember the crucified and risen Savior, repent honestly before Him, and treat His people as members of one body. Communion is not an interruption in our worship. It brings the gospel into the center of our worship. Before we speak about our gifts, our struggles, or our assignments, we are brought again to the One who gave Himself for us. Main Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (KJV) For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do s...

Pastor Derek Evans | Until The Whole World Knows Ministry Main Scripture — 2 Corinthians 5:18–21 (KJV) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Introduction — The Gospel We Receive Must Become the Message We Carry God reconciles sinners to Himself through Jesus Christ and entrusts His Church with proclaiming that reconciliation. This is the central truth before us. We have received a message that addresses humanity's deepest need, and we have a responsibility to carry it faithfully in...

Pastor Derek Evans | Until The Whole World Knows Ministry Main Scripture: Romans 8:14–17 (KJV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Introduction — Receive the Relationship Christ Has Provided The Holy Spirit does more than empower believers for ministry. He brings the reality of our relationship with the Father into the life we actually live. Through Jesus Christ, we are received into God's family. We are called to approach Him with reverence, confidence, and obedient love. Yet a believer can speak confidently about spiritual power while approaching God as though every prayer were a...

Repair The Altar Before You Call For Fire Why the Church Must Confront Compromise Before Expecting Revival By Pastor Derek Evans Until The Whole World Knows Ministry October 16, 2026 Main Scripture — 1 Kings 18:30 (KJV) “And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.” There is a difference between asking God to send fire and preparing a place where His fire is welcomed. We have become familiar with praying for revival, asking for fresh anointing, and declaring that we want the power of the Holy Ghost to move in our churches. But there is a question that must be asked before we begin calling for fire: What condition is the altar in? When Elijah stood on Mount Carmel, the nation of Israel was in a spiritual crisis. The people had been drawn into the worship of Baal, and their allegiance to the Lord had become divided. They still knew the language of their covenant with God, ...
