Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Christians often need to be reminded that the Lord Jesus Christ is still reigning on His throne. Furthermore, believers must cling to the reality that Christ has not abandoned His people or His promises. In the book of Revelation, the apostle John is given a unique vision that captures this fundamental reality. It is not a vision of our Lord as He appeared on the earth in His humiliation. Rather, this vision reveals Jesus as the glorified, exalted Christ who is seated at the right hand of God the Father. From Revelation 1:9–20, Tom Pennington explains A Vision of the Exalted Christ.

What is the greatest secret to success in this life? Various secularists throughout the years have offered many answers to this age-old question, yet all of them miss the mark. Biblically speaking, there is a cosmic, universal secret that affects all of time and eternity. Not only that, it affects every human on this planet. In other words, your life will only be what you were created to be if your life is in line with this great secret. But what is this secret? Join Tom Pennington as he opens up the Scriptures to Ephesians 3 in order to explain God's Great Secret.

Many Christians have flawed views of what heaven is really like. Most people's view of heaven comes complete with halos, wings, floating around on clouds, and playing harps for eternity. There is another confusion that needs to be addressed as well: most Christians think we will live in heaven as it is described in Revelation 4–5. However, that is not true either. Join Tom Pennington as he describes and clarifies, from Revelation 21–22, The Eternal State: I Saw a New Heaven and a New Earth.

The Pharisees took great care in doing the minor things of the law and very much neglected the weightier ones. Their system of values was completely skewed and lacked any sort of biblical compass. In response to such dishonoring leadership from Pharisees and other leaders, Jesus presented a series of indictments to confront such hypocrisy. From Mark 2:23–3:6, Tom Pennington explains a proper understanding the law with an emphasis on The Sabbath and the Heart of God.

Romans chapter three paints a devastating portrait of fallen mankind. In great detail the apostle Paul describes man as radically depraved, to the point that man desires his own sin rather than God. Because man's sin violates God's holy law, man lacks personal righteousness before Him. Nowhere is this idea better described than in Romans 3:9–20. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from the book of Romans how there are no good people on this earth, Not Even One!

The Gospel of Luke records a quiet, simplistic account of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead of experiencing a royal birth (because He was a King), He was born in a cave used for sheltering and feeding animals. Rather than an entourage of witnesses representing the great and the influential people of the nation, only Joseph and Mary, His poor and obscure parents, were there to witness the actual event. However, it was not God's plan for Jesus' birth to remain in such obscurity. From Luke 2:8–20, Tom Pennington explains The Birth Announcement of God's Son.
