Temptations of the Digital Age
We live in an unprecedented era where the sheer volume, constant availability, and private nature of online content are reshaping how we think and who we are. Today, Pastor Tom explores how the digital age has trained us to swap deep thought for shallow scrolling, and biblical truth for the opinions of the culture. Friend, does the digital age dominate your life, or does the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word rule your heart? Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Scripture the Temptations of the Digital Age.
Temptations of the Digital Age - Part 1
As believers, we need to be on guard against being shaped and influenced by the digital world around us. To do that, we first need to be diligent to examine our own hearts and ask the Lord to help us recognize areas in our lives where we’ve negatively been shaped by our world. And second, we need to be like the Bereans and daily search the Scriptures to help us view life through a biblical lens, making whatever changes are necessary to be faithful stewards as citizens of Christ’s kingdom.

Pastor Tom focuses on how the digital world uniquely inflames pride, self-promotion, and covetousness—sins that are common on social media and online storefronts. What about you, friend: Are you using your digital platforms to exalt yourself, or are you finding the biblical path forward through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ?
Temptations of the Digital Age - Part 4
In our last program, we saw how the digital age uniquely feeds some of Scripture’s most condemned sins, like pride and covetousness. While the online world didn't invent these struggles, it provides a powerful engine for sins that have plagued man since the Fall. Today, Pastor Tom helps us assess our own hearts to see how these influences have negatively affected our lives.
Temptations of the Digital Age - Part 5

Temptations of the Digital Age - Part 6
Last time, we saw the gravity of sexual sin in the digital world and why we must be vigilant to protect our hearts. Today, Pastor Tom brings biblical clarity to the relational sins that flood social media: gossip, slander, and more. Therein lay a challenge, believer: As a disciple of Jesus Christ, are you intentionally and continually submitting your technology usage to His Lordship?
