Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Would you describe yourself as a hospitable person? The often-overlooked Christian virtue of hospitality needs to be recaptured by Christians today. In this series, Pastor Tom encourages believers to be hospitable towards others, especially in a culture increasingly shaped by isolation, self-interest, and superficial connection. Join Tom Pennington as he helps believers understand from Scripture The Christian Virtue of Hospitality.

In this series, we consider the very heart of Paul’s letter to the Romans, where he describes the foundation upon which the entire Christian faith stands or falls: the doctrine of justification by faith alone. In Romans, Paul has already shown that every person falls short of God’s standard. But in Romans chapter 3, Paul presents the good news at the core of the gospel: that God offers His own righteousness as a gift through faith in Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 3:21–31 and that those who repent and believe in Jesus Christ are Found Righteous.

When Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, shockwaves went through every sense of what it means to be human—our morality, our minds, our relationships, and even our very image of God. From there, the Bible goes on to describe the depravity of man and how mankind is truly bad to the bone. But what does this mean for us as Christians today? Join Tom Pennington as he begins to help us understand the vital doctrine of total depravity, and that we truly are Bad to the Bone.

What does it mean for a Christian to be under the influence of the Holy Spirit? In Ephesians chapter 5 the apostle Paul describes three primary effects of the Spirit's work in a believer's life: A love for God-centered music, a pattern of thankfulness, and a heart of submission. Do those three elements characterize your life? Join Tom Pennington as he explains how believers can know they are under The Holy Spirit's Influence.

Do you understand the biblical path for spiritual maturity in Christ Jesus? Sadly, many Christians today rely on misguided "treatments" for dealing with sin and looking to become more like Christ—thinking that attending church, having emotional experiences, following rules, avoiding obvious sins, or performing religious duties equals genuine spiritual transformation. But Philippians 2:12–13 draws a different picture of sanctification. Join Tom Penington as he explains from the Bible Men at Work: Every Believer's Part in Sanctification.

If someone were to ask you who produces the results in your evangelistic efforts, what would you say? How would you respond? In Pastor Tom’s series from the gospel of Mark, we explore the parable of the sower to find the answer to how you should respond. We learn that just as no farmer can force a seed to sprout, no person can manufacture the work of God's Spirit in another human heart. Our role is simply to sow the word of God faithfully and entrust the results to our heavenly Father. Join Tom Pennington has he helps us understand the importance of Sharing the Gospel with Confidence.
