Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

The book of Malachi is often overlooked by Christians today, so it is necessary to recapture how important it really is. Within its pages God indicts the nation of Israel for their slanderous thinking, but also gives them clear direction so that they would repent of their sins and live in a way that honors Him. The same pattern is true for Christians today: we need to think and act according to what Scripture says. Join Tom Pennington as he teaches from the Old Testament: Malachi: A Virtual Tour.

The Bible presents Jesus of Nazareth as the promised Messiah of the Old Testament and as the rightful King of the universe. God makes this point clear by providentially orchestrating the arrival of the magi at Jesus' birth. Here, the magi acknowledge Jesus as Israel's divine Messiah and as the only way of salvation. But not everyone at Jesus' birth responded to Him like the magi. Join Tom Pennington has he explains the only appropriate response to the birth of Jesus Christ: Let Earth Receive Her King!

The Christian faith that we believe centers around the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible—specifically the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—records the details about Jesus’s life, spanning from His miraculous conception to His monumental ascension. And yet, there are all sorts of views about Jesus that exist in our world today, most of which are completely inaccurate. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial for us as Christians to know and understand what the Bible says about the life of our Lord. Join Tom Pennington as he presents A Survey of the Life of Christ.

Just after the amazing event of Jesus’ transfiguration, He and the disciples came down the mount and immediately encountered a demon-possessed boy. In this truly remarkable scene Jesus illustrates the importance of faith. Ultimately, this story isn’t primarily about the demon-possessed boy. But rather, it is a story of faith involving every person present at the scene. The characters in this story either evidence the true state of their relationship with Christ by their faith—or their complete lack of it. Join Tom Pennington as he explains several responses to an encounter with Jesus: No Faith, Weak Faith, & Little Faith.

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is at the heart of the Christian faith. This simply means that salvation is not of works, but of faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. But what does this kind of faith, true saving faith, look like? In Romans 4 Paul’s uses the Old Testament character Abraham to illustrate several qualities about true saving faith. These qualities are not only true of Abraham, but of every person who has repented and believed in Christ. Join Tom Pennington from the book of Romans as he describes A Portrait of Faith.

In the early 1900s the Spanish flu took the lives of an estimated 50 to 100 million people. During WWII, men like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were responsible for the taking of millions of lives. Such tragic events are a small picture of what God, in His wrath, will inflict on this planet during the future seven-year tribulation period. In the book of Revelation the apostle John records the details of this future period in order to give us, as Christians, a glimpse into the events of the future before our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
