Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Would you describe yourself as a content person, no matter the circumstances? Today, the issue of contentment seems to be a lost virtue not only in the unbelieving world but, sadly, even in the professing Christian church. In Philippians chapter 4, the apostle deals with the issue of contentment to strengthen his own heart—but also to minister to those who were members of the church of Philippi. And Paul’s words to that first-century church are just as powerful and meaningful to us as Christians today. Join Tom Pennington has he explains from Philippians 4 why all Christians need to understand Contentment: The Lost Virtue.

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” As Christians, we are to renew our minds with the truth of Scripture and to never be swayed by the world to believe things contrary to the Bible. Friend, do you believe the truth of God’s word…or have you been convinced to believe the lies of the culture? Join Tom Pennington as he begins to explore Lies Christians Believe.

What city are you currently a citizen of? What country are you a citizen of? Fact is, we all are citizens somewhere in this world. But the more important question is this: Will you be a citizen of the eternal city, the New Jerusalem? In this series, Pastor Tom explains from Revelation chapters 21–22 several key features of this eternal city and what it will be like for Christians to live there. But don’t miss the entry requirements: To be a citizen in this city, you must repent of your sins and be found in Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he describes from the book of Revelation The Eternal City.

Unfortunately, many in the evangelical world have fallen into two dangerous positions. First, believers who subtract from Scripture by never actually using it, such as not taking the Bible to church on Sundays or opening it during weekdays, and second, those who add to Scripture, insisting the Bible isn't enough. But what is the right way to handle the Bible? Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Scripture how to have A High View of Scripture.

Having a high view of God is vital for the Christian life and a non-negotiable for every faithful, biblical local church. But what does it mean to have a high view of God? As Christians, we must search the Scriptures to see what has been revealed about God; specifically, who He is, how He acts, and why you as a believer must praise, honor, and adore Him. Join Tom Pennington has he helps every Christian have A High View of God.

What is Jesus’ view of hypocritical worship? In the final week of our Lord’s life, he exposes the corrupt worship that had saturated Jerusalem in the first century. And He does so by giving object lessons regarding a fig tree and the temple. But how should these object lessons impact us as believers today? Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Mark 11 the story of The Fig Tree & the Temple: Two Unforgettable Object Lessons.
