Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

When twenty-first century Christians hear the word wisdom it tends to produce a yawn and an attitude of indifference. In reality, our response to wisdom should be the opposite. Wisdom is absolutely crucial to the Christian life and experience, and it should be earnestly desired. When our Lord's half-brother James writes about wisdom, he understands it to be at the heart of the Christian faith. Join Tom Pennington as he presents two categories of wisdom: Wisdom from Hell vs. Wisdom from Heaven.

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.

Unfortunately, our culture's rampant materialism has made its way into the church. In fact, it permeates the Christian community as the church continues its slide toward worldliness. Materialism has not only become acceptable in the church; it's even become spiritual. In the Sermon on the Mount, our Lord clarifies how Christians should think about the issues of personal wealth, possessions, and our personal belongings. Join Tom Pennington as he unmasks The Deadly Dangers of Materialism.

The ultimate foundation for the Christian life is based on the apostolic proclamation of the gospel. In particular, that forgiveness of sins and eternal life can be found in the person and work of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this reality, believers now have fellowship with God, assurance of eternal life, and joy. Join Tom Pennington as he identifies, from the letter of 1 John, three key features of The Apostles' Proclamation.

Nothing is more foundational and vital to the Christian life than worship. In fact, the Scriptures teach that we were created by God to worship. Tragically, most Christians misunderstand what the Bible says about worship and therefore haven't truly worshiped at all. Instead, they have engaged in what the Bible calls idolatry. In other words, if proper worship isn't offered to the true God of the Bible, then it is idolatry. Join Tom Pennington as he takes an in-depth look at Scripture on how to Tear Down Every Idol.

Alienation and hostility are part of life in a fallen world. If you do not believe that, watch the news at any point in the day. Sadly, you could look into your extended family, or even your immediate family, and see alienation and hostility. These things exist between man and man, and we see it throughout the history of mankind. But alienation and hostility also exist between every human being and God. Thankfully, true and lasting reconciliation between God and man can be found in Christ. Join Tom Pennington as preaches about Christ, that He Himself Is Our Peace.
