Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

In His greatest sermon, Jesus explained to His disciples His own exalted view of Scripture. Then He demanded that every one of His true followers hold the same view. If Jesus Christ is the ultimate authority in heaven and on earth, and if He is your Lord, it is imperative that you think about and respond to the Word of God exactly as He did. What Jesus believed and taught about Scripture must shape the faith and practice of every true Christian. Join Tom Pennington as He describes What Your View of Scripture Says About You.

Abortion is one of the most, if not the most, debated issue in our culture today. Its divisive nature is apparent in politics and among families and friends. Sadly, there is even debate and disagreement amongst Christians and local churches about whether abortion is morally right or wrong—whether it is a sin or not. Now, more than ever, Christians need to be equipped with the word of God in order to respond biblically to the issue. It is incumbent upon God's people to understand the times, and to respond biblically for the glory of God. Join Tom Pennington as he surveys the Scripture to give The Biblical View of Abortion.

Romans 3 provides the apostle Paul's clearest teaching on the depravity of mankind. Because of their sin, all humanity stands guilty before the God of the universe. Such a legal status before God has serious implications for every person on this planet, especially for those who have not repented of their sin and believed upon Jesus Christ. In Romans 3:19–20 Paul reveals what God will say to every unbeliever on the future day of judgment. Join Tom Pennington as he explains what awaits every unbeliever as they stand before God: Your Day in Court.

False teachers are a major threat to professing Christians and the local church. Because their teachings are mixed with both truth and error it can often be difficult to discern between the biblical teachers and the false ones. At the end of the book of Romans the apostle Paul gives several insights about false teachers and their doctrine. Not only was exposing such teachers an important part of Paul's ministry, our Lord Jesus Christ made it a priority as well. Join Tom Pennington as he explains how to identify false teachers in the church, who are also known as Wolves in Shepherd's Clothing.

In the first century a major difference existed between the teachings of Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. Jesus' teaching was rooted in the very words of God from the Old Testament, and His objective was to preach the kingdom of God to sinners and to call them to repentance and faith in Himself. However, the scribes and Pharisees, although they affirmed the Old Testament, had elevated tradition and their rules as means of salvation. In the Gospel of Mark Jesus exposes their legalism and calls them to true repentance. Join Tom Pennington has he explains the danger of legalism and Tradition!

Who are the people or the group of people that have most hurt you in your life? Who are the people who have hurt you in such a way that you still bear the wounds and the scars of those hurts? We are all tempted to harbor a grudge against people who have hurt us. Perhaps there are some who are even tempted to contemplate some form of revenge. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches that Christians must relinquish any supposed right to personal retaliation—grudges and revenge have no place in His spiritual kingdom. Join Tom Pennington as he explains the true meaning behind the famous line: An Eye for an Eye.
