Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

What role did John the Baptist play in the life of Jesus Christ? All four New Testament gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—devote precious text to the wilderness prophet. But have you ever wondered... why? Why do all four gospels spotlight this rugged figure in camel's hair and leather when the Messiah stands center stage? Here in his new series, Join Tom Pennington as he explores the extraordinary significance of John the Baptist, the Messiah's Messenger.

What does it mean to be crucified with Christ? In Paul’s letter to the Galatian churches, he defends the great doctrine of justification that man is declared not guilty and righteous in God’s courtroom because of the person and work of Christ. In other words, man is not declared righteous through works of the law but by faith in Christ. So if the law doesn’t make someone right with God, then what is the purpose of the law? Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Galatians two what it means to be Crucified with Christ!

Is it possible to be religious yet unsaved? In Romans 2, Paul confronts this disturbing truth: many claim eternal life through spirituality or religious identity alone. These individuals embrace religious customs and language, but their hearts remain untransformed by Jesus Christ. The facade impresses, but Paul strips away these externals, exposing a sobering reality. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Romans 2 that man cannot be saved by False Claims and Empty Rituals.

Do you ever wonder why good things happen to everyone—regardless of whether one has faith in God? Theologians call this principle common grace. The apostle Paul and the whole of Scripture teaches that God's goodness extends to all people—believers and non-believers alike. While He shows special favor to His followers, the Lord's blessings touch everyone. Why? Because goodness defines God's very nature—He cannot help but show compassion to all who bear His image. Join Tom Pennington as he explains common grace and the danger of Misinterpreting Common Grace.

Who do you imitate in this life? Look around—many of us mirror family members, friends, neighbors, or colleagues, often without realizing it. But as believers, we're called to something profoundly different. Our deepest aspiration isn't to reflect the limited wisdom of those around us, but to embody the perfect character of our heavenly Father. Join Tom Pennington as he guides us through Ephesians—a letter that reshapes our very identities for Walking in Our Father's Footsteps.

The Bible often speaks about how parents are to view and treat the children the Lord has graciously given them. The most familiar passages that speak to this important relationship are Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 5–6. But a passage of Scripture that is often overlooked regarding this theme is Psalm 127, which is centered on parenting children. Join Tom Pennington as he considers this great psalm and the responsibility that parents have with The House that God Builds.
