Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Daniel 9 records Daniel's prayer on behalf of God's people and God's answer to that prayer. It's one of the longest prayers in Scripture and it provides a wonderful pattern for Christians to follow today. Daniel understood that God would accomplish His sovereign purpose by answering the prayers of His people. In addition, through a vision, God gives Daniel a prophetic timeline of Israel's history from the time of Daniel to the end of the age. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth explanation of Daniel's prayer and one of the greatest prophecies of the Old Testament: Seventy Years & Seventy Weeks.

The book of Ruth has been called a perfect story. One writer has said that it is one of the most delightful compositions in all of the ancient world. It is remarkable that the book of Ruth is 3000 years old yet it still meets the standard for a good story today. In God's providence, He has used the book of Ruth to illustrate sin and judgment, and deliverance and redemption. Equally as important, Ruth also points to the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom true redemption is found. Join Tom Pennington as he walks through this amazing story, Ruth: A Story of Redemption.

In the first century a major difference existed between the teachings of Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. Jesus' teaching was rooted in the very words of God from the Old Testament, and His objective was to preach the kingdom of God to sinners and to call them to repentance and faith in Himself. However, the scribes and Pharisees, although they affirmed the Old Testament, had elevated tradition and their rules as means of salvation. In the Gospel of Mark Jesus exposes their legalism and calls them to true repentance. Join Tom Pennington has he explains the danger of legalism and Tradition!

False teachers are a major threat to professing Christians and the local church. Because their teachings are mixed with both truth and error it can often be difficult to discern between the biblical teachers and the false ones. At the end of the book of Romans the apostle Paul gives several insights about false teachers and their doctrine. Not only was exposing such teachers an important part of Paul's ministry, our Lord Jesus Christ made it a priority as well. Join Tom Pennington as he explains how to identify false teachers in the church, who are also known as Wolves in Shepherd's Clothing.

Is it possible to know for certain that you have eternal life? According to the apostle John, Christians can have full assurance that we've been forgiven of our sins and have been given eternal life. John explains that Christians can have assurance of eternal life based on a new relationship to sin. This simply means that believers no longer love and obey their sin like they did before conversion. Now, they hate their sin and long to obey Jesus Christ in all things. How would you describe your relationship with sin? Join Tom Pennington as identifies and explains The Believer's New Relationship to Sin.

Christians are fascinated with heaven—that's not surprising considering the Bible refers to heaven more than 500 times. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, both the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament apostles wrote about what heaven is like. The fullest description of heaven and all that surrounds the throne of God is recorded by the apostle John in Revelation 4–5. In these chapters God is described as infinitely worthy to sit on the universe's throne and to judge mankind's rebellion against Him. How can this be? Join Tom Pennington as he explains what heaven and earth must acknowledge about God: He Is Worthy!
