Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

There is a certain philosophy and idea in our world today that teaches self-determinism—the idea that I’m in control of my life and I can do anything I want if I believe in it long enough. But such thinking is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches about life. The book of James teaches that as followers of Jesus Christ, we must constantly acknowledge and joyfully accept God's sovereignty over our lives in all circumstances. Join Tom Pennington as he explains James 4 and the Christian phrase: Lord Willing.

In John 4, John the Apostle demands that we, as Christians, diligently apply several biblical tests to every spiritual idea, every message, or every sermon that we hear in order to distinguish genuine teachers who teach God's truth from false teachers who, in fact, teach damning error. Such a message was appropriate for 1st century Christians—but, at the same time, this same message is vital for Christians to understand today. Join Tom Pennington as he demonstrates from Scripture how Christians must be committed to Recognizing False Teachers.

The book of Psalms has been described as a book that reveals a personal pattern of worship, that is, how God’s people can come to Him in worship. The theme of Psalm 92 is that it is good for the people of God to give thanks and to sing praises to God. In fact, this psalm reveals several important lessons about thanksgiving and why we, as Christians, must be committed to a life of thankfulness to our God. Join Tom Pennington as he considers Psalm 92 and the fact that all Christians must Give Thanks and Sing!

In Revelation 6–19, the apostle John describes a future seven-year tribulation period in which God’s wrath and judgment are poured out on the unbelieving world. But during this time, God shows unparalleled grace in continuing to call sinners to repentance and redemption through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth explanation of the Tribulation Saints God uses to evangelize the lost during the Tribulation years.

Romans chapter 7 is one of the most controversial passages in the New Testament, and it has been hotly debated since the early centuries of the church. But, at its heart, Romans 7 is the apostle Paul’s testimony regarding his own battle with sin during his Christian life. For Christians, Paul’s words are just as pertinent today as they were in the first century. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul encourages believers to fight our sin as we continue to pursue Christlikeness in this life. Join Tom Pennington as he describes the battle that every Christian fights against The Dark Guest.

Throughout church history professing Christians have approached the interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount in several different ways. But how you interpret the Sermon on the Mount will radically determine not only how you understand Jesus’ preaching, but also how you live the Christian life. Therefore, it is crucial that we as Christians understand how to rightly interpret and understand Jesus’ most famous words—beginning with the beatitudes. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an explanation of each of The Beatitudes.
