Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

In Jesus’ greatest sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, He teaches that we, as Christians, must love both our friends and our enemies. Said another way, we have a duty to love those who love us and to love those who hate us. But such a clear-cut truth was heavily distorted by the Pharisees during Jesus’ day. So Jesus sets out to correct their faulty teaching in order to show His true disciples the way in which they should respond to all people. Join Tom Pennington as he will help you answer from Scripture a crucial question: Do You Love Only Love Those Who Love you?.

At an appointed time during the seven-year tribulation period described in the book of Revelation, the eye of the hurricane of God's wrath will pass over the throne room of heaven and there will be a 30-minute calm in the storm. As the events of Revelation 8–9 continue to unfold, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, breaks the seventh seal, initiating the seven trumpet judgments followed by seven bowl judgments. These judgments highlight the pervasiveness of Satan, demons, and the unbelieving world. Join Tom Pennington as he explains the events recorded in Revelation 8–9: The Seventh Seal & the First Six Trumpets.

There is a certain philosophy and idea in our world today that teaches self-determinism—the idea that I’m in control of my life and I can do anything I want if I believe in it long enough. But such thinking is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches about life. The book of James teaches that as followers of Jesus Christ, we must constantly acknowledge and joyfully accept God's sovereignty over our lives in all circumstances. Join Tom Pennington as he explains James 4 and the Christian phrase: Lord Willing.

In John 4, John the Apostle demands that we, as Christians, diligently apply several biblical tests to every spiritual idea, every message, or every sermon that we hear in order to distinguish genuine teachers who teach God's truth from false teachers who, in fact, teach damning error. Such a message was appropriate for 1st century Christians—but, at the same time, this same message is vital for Christians to understand today. Join Tom Pennington as he demonstrates from Scripture how Christians must be committed to Recognizing False Teachers.

The book of Psalms has been described as a book that reveals a personal pattern of worship, that is, how God’s people can come to Him in worship. The theme of Psalm 92 is that it is good for the people of God to give thanks and to sing praises to God. In fact, this psalm reveals several important lessons about thanksgiving and why we, as Christians, must be committed to a life of thankfulness to our God. Join Tom Pennington as he considers Psalm 92 and the fact that all Christians must Give Thanks and Sing!

In Revelation 6–19, the apostle John describes a future seven-year tribulation period in which God’s wrath and judgment are poured out on the unbelieving world. But during this time, God shows unparalleled grace in continuing to call sinners to repentance and redemption through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth explanation of the Tribulation Saints God uses to evangelize the lost during the Tribulation years.
