Tom explains that while our sin and pride are deep, God’s restoring grace is deeper still, provided we abandon our self-reliance and meet Him on the terms of biblical humility.

Tom Pennington explains God’s jealous love for His people and how His grace draws us back from divided loyalties. Does it startle you to realize that your personal conflicts and worldly compromises are viewed by God as an act of spiritual unfaithfulness?

Tom continues to demonstrate how the Bible uncovers the precise path from conflict to reconciliation through the wisdom of God’s Word. Are you still trying to resolve your relational disputes by managing external circumstances, or are you ready to submit to the heart-transforming wisdom of Scripture?

Tom explores why our prayers often go unanswered when driven by selfish motives and how God calls us away from chasing empty pleasures toward the only true source of satisfaction: God Himself.

Pastor Tom helps us discover how these restless desires spill over into our relationships, producing division—and why true peace can only be found when our deepest satisfaction is rooted in God Himself. Are you looking to the shifting pleasures of this world to satisfy your soul, or are you seeking the true peace that comes only from absolute contentment in God?

Today, Pastor Tom helps us understand that true peace begins not by changing others but by humbly confronting the conflict within ourselves. Friend, when you are caught in an argument, are you more consumed with winning the point, or are you ready to face the selfish passions ruling your own soul?

The Bible must be our authority on conflict because human history itself is a staggering testimony to what happens when we rely on our own wisdom. But what makes Scripture indispensable is that not only is it God' s Word but it also refuses to let us deal only with the surface of conflict and moves straight to the source—the sinful cravings and self-centered desires within our own hearts that wage war against our souls.

Jesus warns against the subtle but dangerous pull of hypocrisy, where giving becomes a performance for others or even a quiet source of self-congratulation. Instead, Christ calls us as His followers to a radically different approach: to give quietly, selflessly, and even forgetfully, seeking not human praise or personal pride, but the approval and glory of God alone.

Today, Pastor Tom addresses the sobering reality of the "reward" that hypocrites receive. Jesus makes it clear that if we seek the praise of men, we have received our reward in full, leaving nothing to be received from our Father who is in heaven.

Rather than prescribing a fixed percentage, Scripture calls for giving that is thoughtful, joyful, and proportionate to God’s provision—primarily supporting the mission of the church, the spread of the gospel, and the needs of others.
