Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

According to Scripture, God both designed and established marriage. Therefore, He defines it and has the sole right and authority to uphold it. Unfortunately, the culture today has tried to redefine marriage. And some in the professing evangelical church have set aside the Scripture and let the spirit of the age define what is right. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Scripture what marriage and family are and how we are to live in those contexts in a way that pleases our heavenly Father in a series titled Marriage and Family by God's Design.

In every age, Christians have to make decisions about issues and topics that the Bible either doesn't mention at all, or that, if it does, are not entirely definitive. How should you as a believer discern and govern the decisions you make - even if there’s disagreement with other church members and other believers? Thankfully, in the apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans, and in other texts of Scripture, you’ll find several practical and helpful principles. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 14 in a series titled, Hard Call: When the Bible Is Silent.

The one true God of the Bible—the Lord of all creation—is by nature a savior. He truly delights in saving rebellious sinners from His wrath and future judgment. God reveals in His Word that he has a shepherd’s heart—He cares for humanity and those whom He has created in His image. He also has a special love and care for those whom He has redeemed through His Son, Jesus Christ. In one of the greatest chapters of the Bible—Isaiah 53—God reveals how lost sinners can be reconciled to Him. Join Tom Pennington as he teaches that God is The Shepherd of Your Soul.

How are we, as Christians, supposed to respond to the trials we face in this life and how does God intend to use them for His purposes and our good? In James chapter 1, James explains that troubles of life are God's tools to refine our character and to produce in us true Christian maturity. And if we embrace and understand trials in this light, God will use them to transform us to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he explains James 1:2–12 in a series titled Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Are we living in the end time? In the Old Testament, the book of Daniel describes a future seven-year tribulation period in which God unleashes worldwide judgment on those who do not believe in the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The final three and a half years of that seven year period, the Great Tribulation, will be a time when Antichrist rules and reigns over the earth. Daniel 12 records a prophecy about this time period. And in this series, Pastor Tom will explain this great chapter and what it means for God’s people today. Join Tom Pennington as he explains The End of Time.

Many Christians understand that Satan is prowling around like a roaring lion seeking to devour God’s people. But those same believers may not fully know just how to fight and guard against his attacks. The apostle Paul deals with this very issue in his letter to the Ephesians. As Christians, we have access to a spiritual armor, and rightly understood, it successfully works to ward off Satan's attacks. Join Tom Pennington in Ephesians 6 as he explains how Christians are to put on The Armor of God.
