Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Romans chapter three paints a devastating portrait of fallen mankind. In great detail the apostle Paul describes man as radically depraved, to the point that man desires his own sin rather than God. Because man's sin violates God's holy law, man lacks personal righteousness before Him. Nowhere is this idea better described than in Romans 3:9–20. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from the book of Romans how there are no good people on this earth, Not Even One!

The Gospel of Luke records a quiet, simplistic account of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead of experiencing a royal birth (because He was a King), He was born in a cave used for sheltering and feeding animals. Rather than an entourage of witnesses representing the great and the influential people of the nation, only Joseph and Mary, His poor and obscure parents, were there to witness the actual event. However, it was not God's plan for Jesus' birth to remain in such obscurity. From Luke 2:8–20, Tom Pennington explains The Birth Announcement of God's Son.

Are you a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness? The book of Romans identifies these two categories as marks of one's true spiritual condition. Those who love their sin and walk in it are slaves to such behavior. On the other hand, those who love righteousness are slaves to righteousness. Therefore, Christians must never take sin lightly, because they are no longer slaves of sin but slaves of God and of righteousness. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 6:15–23 to help answer a critical question: Whose Slave Are You?

What is your greatest fear? Many people would say public speaking, snakes, or some type of confined space. Moreover, we live in a society that is permeated with fear, even to the degree that some people in our culture use fear as a tactic and motivater to sell products, ideas, and worldviews. But for the Christian, fearing earthly matters runs contrary to the teaching of Scripture. So, the question is: what should be your greatest fear? According to Mark 9, sin should be your greatest fear. In this series Tom Pennington explains Jesus' teaching on The Disciple's Greatest Danger.

We often neglect those things that are the most clearly and visibly in sight, in spite of their great value. Sadly, when it comes to the Old Testament, Christians often neglect this massive portion of Scripture. If we are to be faithful to 2 Timothy 3:16, then the Old Testament is just as God-breathed as the New. In other words, the Old Testament is equally important in the mind of God as the New—it is all profitable for the man of God. In this series Tom Pennington gives An Aerial View of the Old Testament in order to help Christians better understand its message and application.

The average adult breathes 12 to 15 times per minute or roughly 20,000 times a day. Humans normally breathe about 500 to 700 milliliters of air with each breath, which amounts to 535 cubic feet a day. In fact, most people only breathe through one nostril at a time—the nostril in use changes every 15 minutes to three hours depending on the individual. To be sure, breathing is absolutely critical for physical life. Furthermore, the act of breathing is a powerful illustration of a spiritual reality. What breathing is to our physical bodies, praying is to our souls. Join Tom Pennington as he explains why Christians must be committed to Prayer for All Seasons.
