• December 15, 2024: What Angels Wish They Knew
    Dec 15 2024
    When the angels announced the birth of Jesus, although they were observers and participants, they could not know firsthand the joy salvation brings. In the incarnation, God the Father did something that was truly unique and unmistakable: He sent His Son, Jesus, to save from their sin all those who would trust in Him. At the center of the Christmas story is not a cradle but a cross—the emblem of the extent to which God went to show His love for us.

  • December 9, 2024: “And for Their Sake…”
    Dec 9 2024
    “Jesus loves me, this I know.” This simple refrain from a children’s song puts words to a life-altering biblical truth. In this message rooted in John 17:19, Alistair Begg emphasizes the great love Jesus shows to His own—a love demonstrated through His consecration of Himself for suffering on the cross. That agonizing sacrifice, which Jesus willingly entered into, provides justification and, ultimately, sanctification for believers.

  • December 2, 2024: “Sanctify Them”
    Dec 2 2024
    In His High Priestly Prayer, Jesus asked God the Father to sanctify His disciples in the truth of His word. In this study of John 17:17, Alistair Begg takes a look at how the doctrine of sanctification is defined biblically, displayed progressively, and discovered submissively. When we trust Christ as Lord and Savior, we’re considered holy, set apart by and for God. Through the lifelong process of sanctification, God’s Spirit works through God’s Word to make believers like Jesus.

  • November 4, 2024: Historical Theology
    Nov 4 2024
    Over five hundred years ago, Christianity was buried under layers of superstition, immorality, and biblical illiteracy—yet questions about life and death, knowledge and authority, and how sinful men and women could be made right with God remained. In this Reformation Day message, Alistair Begg recounts how the church of medieval Europe came to rediscover the Gospel message found in Jesus’ life and death. Through Martin Luther and others, the true significance and sufficiency of Christ’s death was recovered, bringing reform to the church and the promise of salvation to all who trust in Him.

  • October 28, 2024: The Evil One
    Oct 28 2024
    Jesus asked God the Father to keep believers from the Evil One while they remain in the world. Focusing on verse 15 of Christ’s High Priestly Prayer, Alistair Begg investigates the identity and strategy of the devil, Jesus’ victory over evil, and the Gospel-grounded security and resulting activity of the Lord’s followers. We’re engaged in a spiritual battle—and although Satan is crafty and unrelenting, Jesus has ultimately dealt with the sin and fears of all who are united in Him.

  • October 21, 2024: “If the World Hates You…”
    Oct 21 2024
    Hearing and believing Christ’s words radically changed His disciples—which provoked the surrounding culture’s hostility. Alistair Begg explains that the unbelieving world hates biblical truth and Christlike living because they expose humanity’s lostness, immorality, and need of a Savior. Ultimately, Christian conviction ignites a life of conflict, because the same grace that reconciles us to God antagonizes us to the Evil One. Yet Jesus prayed not for God to remove believers from the world but to keep us from evil as we remain in the battle.
