Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

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.

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.

Many Christians have no idea why Jesus—the perfect Son of God—was baptized with a baptism of repentance. In other words, if Jesus did not sin, why would He partake in a baptism that was connected with repentance and sins? Furthermore, Jesus' baptism also had to do with forgiveness of sins. So, why was He baptized? Join Tom Pennington as he answers such questions by taking an in-depth look at Mark's account of Jesus' Baptism of Repentance.

Sadly, there are many Christians today that would not be considered biblical church members. Unfortunately, most Christians think about the church like they think about a local restaurant—tastes, preferences, and the satisfaction of the customer are all that matters. This is, however, vastly different from what the Scripture actually teaches about being a biblical church member. So, what does the Bible say about how believers should conduct themselves in the local church? Join Tom Pennington as he uses Scripture to develop Three Hallmarks of a Biblical Church Member.

What does Scripture say, if anything, about the government and structure of Christ's church? Do local churches have the freedom to run their church in any way they please? Unfortunately, we live in an age where a biblical ecclesiology is often neglected and the latest trends of the day are accepted. It is critical in this hour to recapture what the Bible teaches about the structure of the church. Thankfully, God has spoken on this very issue in His word and He requires every church to follow what has been written. Join Tom Pennington as he explains what the Bible says about government of The Church: Monarchy, Anarchy, or Democracy?

How can a holy God treat Christians as if we had lived the perfect life that Jesus Christ lived? In addition, how can a just God treat Christians as if we had died for our own sins, when Christ actually died for them? In Romans 5:12–21, the apostle Paul answers such questions. He goes on to explain how Jesus Christ can secure our justification because God appointed Him as our representative, just as He did Adam in the garden of Eden. Join Tom Pennington as he explains why the Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is The True and Better Adam.
