Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

How do you know if you are a true citizen of the spiritual kingdom over which our Lord Jesus Christ reigns? The answer to that question comes with eternal ramifications. Thankfully, Jesus deals with this issue towards the end of the Sermon on the Mount. It is there that Jesus provides the crowds with clear insight into who it is that has truly entered into His kingdom and who has not. But how do you know if you are in or out of His kingdom? In this series Tom Pennington answers that question by explaining the scenario that Jesus presents the crowds: Two Gates, One Decision.

Relationships are a part of the residual image of God in every person. From eternity past there has always been a relationship between each person of the Trinity. So, in one sense we can say that to fail to properly relate to one another is to sin against the very character of God. Living in isolation from others is to sin against our Creator. In particular, sin against how He made us as His image bearers. In this series Tom Pennington demonstrates why Christians must be actively engaged in The "One Anothers."

Romans 1:16–17 establishes the theme and thesis of the book of Romans. The rest of the letter is essentially an exposition of this passage. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that these two verses are the essence of true, authentic Christianity—they are the heart of the biblical gospel. Simply put, what Paul explains is that the gospel is the power of God and it produces salvation in the hearts of everyone who believes. Join Tom Pennington as he identifies and explains The Keynote of Romans.

There are certainly times in this life when injustices happen to believers and non-believers alike. To one degree or another all people have experienced such a thing. The Bible is clear that this is a result of living in a fallen world that has been totally wrecked by sin. As Christians, when we experience situations in this life that don't seem to be fair, we must respond differently than the world. The book of James teaches that we must react to unfair situations in a godly manner. Join Tom Pennington as he explains how believers should respond When Life's Not Fair.

The Scripture makes it clear that God cares infinitely how we worship Him. Taking it one step further, the Scripture also says that God alone has the right to prescribe how we must worship Him. That is essentially the point of the Second Commandment—people will either worship the true God in the way that He has perfectly prescribed, or they will do what is right in their own eyes and ultimately commit idolatry. How, then, can Christians be on guard against committing idolatry? Join Tom Pennington as he gets to The Heart of Worship by explaining how God desires to be worshiped.

The church is the only organization and institution that our Lord Jesus Christ promised to build. The Scripture is clear that it is Christ alone who builds His church. In fact, the church is Christ's greatest priority in the world today and He is deeply concerned with how His people are conducting themselves in it. But what is Christ's plan for the for the church and how should believers respond? Join Tom Pennington in Ephesians 4 as he defines The Church According to Jesus.
