Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

What must a person do to inherit eternal life? Sadly, many believe that salvation can be achieved by human effort and good works, and that in the end it comes down to a matter of your good works outweighing the bad. This unbiblical understanding of salvation isn’t a modern concept. The rich, young ruler that Jesus encountered in Mark 10 believed salvation could be obtained apart from a miraculous work of God. Christ emphasizes to the rich, young ruler that salvation is not humanly impossible. It can only be accomplished by a divine miracle of God’s grace. Join Tom Pennington as he explains a biblical view of salvation from Jesus' conversation with The Rich, Young Ruler.

The Library of Alexandria is the most famous library from antiquity, containing an estimated 500,000 books. It was accidentally destroyed in the first century BC and thousands of years of knowledge and practice were lost. Tragically, the same is true of the Christian church. The church at large has abandoned the Scriptures, therefore losing its knowledge of God and how Christ’s church should conduct herself. This series seeks to recover the rich Christian legacy that the Bible alone is to govern all beliefs and practices of the Christian church. Join Tom Pennington as he calls Christians to earnestly aim for Recovering a Lost Legacy.

Daniel 9 records Daniel's prayer on behalf of God's people and God's answer to that prayer. It's one of the longest prayers in Scripture and it provides a wonderful pattern for Christians to follow today. Daniel understood that God would accomplish His sovereign purpose by answering the prayers of His people. In addition, through a vision, God gives Daniel a prophetic timeline of Israel's history from the time of Daniel to the end of the age. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth explanation of Daniel's prayer and one of the greatest prophecies of the Old Testament: Seventy Years & Seventy Weeks.

The book of Ecclesiastes is designed to help God's people understand the truth about life "under the sun"—in a fallen world. God graciously gave Solomon wisdom, discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore. Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. In Ecclesiastes Solomon reveals that life is a gift from God to be enjoyed, but it also has serious limitations. Those twin realities are meant to compel us to seek God in faith, fear, obedience, and love. Join Tom Pennington as he explains the theme of the book of Ecclesiastes: A Biblical Philosophy of Life.

The book of Ruth has been called a perfect story. One writer has said that it is one of the most delightful compositions in all of the ancient world. It is remarkable that the book of Ruth is 3000 years old yet it still meets the standard for a good story today. In God's providence, He has used the book of Ruth to illustrate sin and judgment, and deliverance and redemption. Equally as important, Ruth also points to the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom true redemption is found. Join Tom Pennington as he walks through this amazing story, Ruth: A Story of Redemption.

Christians must understand that there is a silent, invisible war being waged all around us—even inside our individual minds. It is a war that, if not fought correctly, has serious consequences for every believer. Tragically, most Christians are completely oblivious to the reality of this war. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul writes to inform and equip believers how to win this war. When Paul's instruction is implemented, the result is Christlikeness and the praise and glory of God's name. If you are going to live a life of faith and obedience to Christ, you must take heed to Paul's words. Join Tom Pennington as he encourages every Christian to be Learning to Use God's Armor.
