Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

If someone wrote a biography about your life, what would they say? What details would they include? More importantly, if someone wrote a biography about your spiritual life, what would they say? In Ephesians 2, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul pens an inerrant account of the spiritual biography of every true Christian. He vividly describes the spiritual journey that every follower of Christ has experienced—from being dead in sin to being made alive in Christ. Join Tom Pennington has he describes the spiritual biography of every follower of Christ: This Is Your Life.

DNA is an organic chemical with a complex molecular structure that's found in cells and in many viruses. Every person inherits DNA from their parents, and it is unique to every individual. You’ve often heard it said: "Like father, like son" or "like mother, like daughter." The same is also true spiritually. We Christian brothers and sisters in Christ, all of whom share our Father's DNA, are called to be like Him in the way we live. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from 1 John the spiritual ancestry of every believer: The Christian's DNA.

The book of Romans is a high point in the New Testament. It records the theology of the gospel of God – the fact that Jesus Christ came into the world to save, justify and sanctify sinners. In Romans chapters 9 and 10 the apostle Paul defends God’s sovereignty in salvation and that sinners are responsible to repent and believe in Christ. These twin truths are absolutely essential to understanding the gospel. Paul, and ultimately God, wants us as Christians to grasp why some people believe in the gospel, and others don’t. Join Tom Pennington as he explains a critical aspect of the gospel: Human Responsibility.

Unfortunately, through modern technology the catastrophic sin of lying has manifested itself on a national and global stage for all the world to see. Lying is also pervasive in smaller settings like the workplace, and even at home. In fact, lying has been a problem since Genesis 4 when Cain lied to God. The truth is there isn’t a single person that can escape the temptation to lie. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus demands that we as Christians pursue radical truthfulness. And according to Jesus, if you’re one of His followers, you are characterized by truthful speech. Join Tom Pennington as he urges all Christians from Scripture to be characterized by Radical Truthfulness.

What must a person do to inherit eternal life? Sadly, many believe that salvation can be achieved by human effort and good works, and that in the end it comes down to a matter of your good works outweighing the bad. This unbiblical understanding of salvation isn’t a modern concept. The rich, young ruler that Jesus encountered in Mark 10 believed salvation could be obtained apart from a miraculous work of God. Christ emphasizes to the rich, young ruler that salvation is not humanly impossible. It can only be accomplished by a divine miracle of God’s grace. Join Tom Pennington as he explains a biblical view of salvation from Jesus' conversation with The Rich, Young Ruler.

The Library of Alexandria is the most famous library from antiquity, containing an estimated 500,000 books. It was accidentally destroyed in the first century BC and thousands of years of knowledge and practice were lost. Tragically, the same is true of the Christian church. The church at large has abandoned the Scriptures, therefore losing its knowledge of God and how Christ’s church should conduct herself. This series seeks to recover the rich Christian legacy that the Bible alone is to govern all beliefs and practices of the Christian church. Join Tom Pennington as he calls Christians to earnestly aim for Recovering a Lost Legacy.
