Faith that Speaks — Anytime, Anywhere

Justification in biblical terms is the legal declaration in the courtroom of God by which He credits the believer’s sin to Christ and credits Christ’s perfect righteousness to the believer. The wondrous outcome of this divine transaction is that God forgives the sinner because their debt has been paid for by the life and death of Christ and declares them forever righteous before Him as Judge. Join Tom Pennington as he unpacks the doctrine of justification from Philippians 3—demonstrating that Christians are Just By Faith Alone.

The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ came into the world on a divine rescue mission—to save sinners from their sins. That message is powerfully pictured in Mark chapters 2 as Jesus interacts with several “sinners and tax collectors.” At the heart of Jesus’ ministry was a desire to preach the good news of the gospel—that He came not to save the righteous, those who believed they were inherently good and didn’t need be saved, but those who recognized their poor and miserable spiritual condition. Join Tom Pennington from Mark 2 as he explains how Jesus is A Friend of Sinners.

Many churches today operate by worldly standards and principles, rather than what the Bible specifically teaches. But the Scripture is clear that Jesus Christ requires that His church operate by His criteria. To abandon the Scripture is to disregard our Lord's clear commands on how to conduct His church. In the series, Tom Pennington will work through the New Testament Scripture to identify Five Hallmarks of a Biblical Church.

At the end of His most famous sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus confronts those who profess to be His followers and provides them with an illustration to determine their true spiritual condition: Is their professing Christian life built on a faulty foundation that will be swept away, or is their spiritual life built on a solid foundation that will stand the test of time? From Matthew chapter 7, Tom Pennington helps us as Christians understand The Parable of the Two Builders.

The one passage out of the entire Bible that most divides faithful, Bible-believing Christians is Revelation 20, particularly the verses that refer to the Millennial Kingdom. All Christians agree that the future new heaven and earth await all true Christians. But how are we supposed to understand the 1,000-year period that is described beforehand? In this series, Pastor Tom Pennington provides a biblical explanation of The Millennium: Christ's Future Reign on Earth.

According to the apostle Paul in Romans 6, every Christian—without exception—has a new relationship to sin. And this new relationship is one that is characterized by a radical change summarized this way: We, as Christians, are no longer slaves to sin—but slaves of Christ. Because we have repented and believed in Christ, sin is no longer our master, but the Lord Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Romans 6 that Sin Is Not Your master.
