Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

In the book of Revelation, our Lord Jesus requires that churches hold fast to the truths that have been passed down in Scripture. Tragically, our Lord's command is ignored today by most professing Christians—some of the most important truths in Scripture are downplayed, ignored, and sometimes just outright rejected. But if we are to be Christians who are sound in the faith and able to refute that which contradicts, we must embrace the key truths that today's professing church has largely forgotten. We must hold fast to them. Join Tom Pennington as he explains key truths from Scripture that every Christian must Hold Fast.

Romans 9 is one of the most controversial passages in the entire Bible, partly because it has been so misunderstood. But the apostle Paul writes this chapter to explain a crucial truth: not everyone who hears the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ comes to believe it for salvation. But why is this so? The doctrine of divine election explains this reality. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Romans 9 the profound doctrine of Divine Election.

Friend, what is the reason or to what chief end do you live in this world? For us, as Christians, the reason we live differs dramatically from the world and culture around us. In Philippians 1, the apostle Paul makes it his aim to demonstrate that life doesn’t center around anyone or anything but our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. At the heart and center of Christianity is the person and work of Jesus, and He should be the heart and center of our lives. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Scripture The Reason We Live.

One of the most mysterious figures in the Bible is a man named Antichrist. Unfortunately, much misunderstanding surrounds this person and what role he will play in the future, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. But during the seven-year tribulation period, Revelation 13 describes how Satan will raise up and empower this profoundly evil human ruler as a false messiah, one who will rule and receive the worship of the entire world. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth analysis from Scripture of Antichrist.

The Bible teaches that Christians will face mockery, ridicule, and derision in this life all because of their love for Jesus Christ and His Word. But this is nothing new for God’s people, as Satan has sought from the beginning to oppose God’s people in any way he can. The gospels show that this was true of our Lord Jesus Christ as He was being crucified on the cross. Join us as Tom Penningont explains from Mark 15 The Comedy at Calvary.

There are many kinds or types of faith that exist amongst the professing Christian world and even amongst the secular, unbelieving world. On some level, all people have faith in something, to one degree or another. So, it isn’t really a matter of if someone has faith, but rather which faith. But according to the Bible, there is only one kind of faith that has eternal significance and value. This kind of faith is supernatural, meaning that it comes from God and is sovereignly wrought in the lives of those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from 1 John 5 The Nature of Saving Faith.
