Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Are you a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness? The book of Romans identifies these two categories as marks of one's true spiritual condition. Those who love their sin and walk in it are slaves to such behavior. On the other hand, those who love righteousness are slaves to righteousness. Therefore, Christians must never take sin lightly, because they are no longer slaves of sin but slaves of God and of righteousness. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 6:15–23 to help answer a critical question: Whose Slave Are You?

What is your greatest fear? Many people would say public speaking, snakes, or some type of confined space. Moreover, we live in a society that is permeated with fear, even to the degree that some people in our culture use fear as a tactic and motivater to sell products, ideas, and worldviews. But for the Christian, fearing earthly matters runs contrary to the teaching of Scripture. So, the question is: what should be your greatest fear? According to Mark 9, sin should be your greatest fear. In this series Tom Pennington explains Jesus' teaching on The Disciple's Greatest Danger.

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.

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.

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.

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.
