Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Christians often think that we need to accomplish something radical and extraordinary to show a sacrificial commitment to God. But for most Christians total commitment to God is neither radical nor extraordinary. Total commitment to God is actually ordinary—it means using your spiritual gift in the life of the church. Thankfully, God has gifted every Christian to serve and we've been called to use our gifts responsibly. Join Tom Pennington as he gives in-depth evidence on how every Christian has been Gifted to Serve.

Christians are fascinated with heaven—that's not surprising considering the Bible refers to heaven more than 500 times. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, both the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament apostles wrote about what heaven is like. The fullest description of heaven and all that surrounds the throne of God is recorded by the apostle John in Revelation 4–5. In these chapters God is described as infinitely worthy to sit on the universe's throne and to judge mankind's rebellion against Him. How can this be? Join Tom Pennington as he explains what heaven and earth must acknowledge about God: He Is Worthy!

When twenty-first century Christians hear the word wisdom it tends to produce a yawn and an attitude of indifference. In reality, our response to wisdom should be the opposite. Wisdom is absolutely crucial to the Christian life and experience, and it should be earnestly desired. When our Lord's half-brother James writes about wisdom, he understands it to be at the heart of the Christian faith. Join Tom Pennington as he presents two categories of wisdom: Wisdom from Hell vs. Wisdom from Heaven.

Is it possible to know for certain that you have eternal life? According to the apostle John, Christians can have full assurance that we've been forgiven of our sins and have been given eternal life. John explains that Christians can have assurance of eternal life based on a new relationship to sin. This simply means that believers no longer love and obey their sin like they did before conversion. Now, they hate their sin and long to obey Jesus Christ in all things. How would you describe your relationship with sin? Join Tom Pennington as identifies and explains The Believer's New Relationship to Sin.

Unfortunately, our culture's rampant materialism has made its way into the church. In fact, it permeates the Christian community as the church continues its slide toward worldliness. Materialism has not only become acceptable in the church; it's even become spiritual. In the Sermon on the Mount, our Lord clarifies how Christians should think about the issues of personal wealth, possessions, and our personal belongings. Join Tom Pennington as he unmasks The Deadly Dangers of Materialism.

The ultimate foundation for the Christian life is based on the apostolic proclamation of the gospel. In particular, that forgiveness of sins and eternal life can be found in the person and work of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this reality, believers now have fellowship with God, assurance of eternal life, and joy. Join Tom Pennington as he identifies, from the letter of 1 John, three key features of The Apostles' Proclamation.
