Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” As Christians, we are to renew our minds with the truth of Scripture and to never be swayed by the world to believe things contrary to the Bible. Friend, do you believe the truth of God’s word…or have you been convinced to believe the lies of the culture? Join Tom Pennington as he begins to explore Lies Christians Believe.

The Bible teaches that all people are bound by sin and unable to rescue themselves from its power and consequences. Therefore, all people are in desperate need of redemption. In Ephesians 1, the apostle Paul deals with the solution to our sin problem by explaining God’s eternal plan of salvation. And while doing so, he focuses on the work of Jesus Christ, who entered human history to redeem a people—purchasing our freedom, forgiving our sins, and releasing us from the bondage we could never escape on our own.

In this life, do you only seek and make it your aim personal peace and personal prosperity—seeking only comfort, security, and material gain? In contrast, King David demonstrates that a person after God's own heart is driven by one all-consuming passion that stands in stark contrast to these worldly motivations—a passion we'll discover as Tom Pennington explains 1 Samuel 17 and the encounter between David and Goliath and what it means to be A Man After God's Own Heart.

In the midst of unimaginable suffering, the Old Testament prophet, Jeremiah, found hope in God by deliberately calling certain truths to mind, reminding himself to stop listening to his despair and start speaking truth to his soul. From Lamentations 3, we discover that when tragedy surrounds us, we can find hope by remembering that God's character hasn't changed—His steadfast love and compassion never cease; they are new every morning. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Lamentations 3, specifically Hope From Ashes: Responding to Tragedy.

In the New Testament, particularly the book of Acts, we find the core biblical priorities that every true follower of Jesus Christ should be engaged in. But what makes these priorities so important? And why should every Christian organize their lives with these priorities in mind? In this brief 2-part series, we discover how believers must prioritize that which is truly important for the Christian life and why our lives must be intimately connected to Christ and His church and the glory of God our Father. Join Tom Pennington from the book of Acts as he explains The Essentials.
