  • September 8, 2024: “I Am Praying for Them”

    September 8, 2024: “I Am Praying for Them”
    Sep 8 2024
    If Jesus offered to pray on your behalf, what would you ask Him to pray for? In His High Priestly Prayer in John 17, Jesus prayed for His disciples, distinguishing them from the world, declaring them to be agents of His glory, and asking the Father to keep them in His name. Alistair Begg unpacks how over two thousand years later, that same prayer is still being answered for all those who follow Christ, in whom we are securely, eternally kept.

    September 3, 2024: “They Have Kept Your Word”
    Sep 3 2024
    Just hours from the agony of Calvary, Jesus prayed to His Father in front of His disciples. In this message on Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer, Alistair Begg explores the vast theological truths revealed in God’s gift to the Son, Jesus’ request to the Father, and the disciples’ response to both. From all eternity, God purposed to have a people for His own, sending His Son into the world to manifest His name and to save His people. As a result of Christ’s finished work on the cross, all who believe, no matter how weak or strong their faith, are eternally secure.

    August 26, 2024: “Before the World Existed”
    Aug 26 2024
    In His High Priestly Prayer, recorded in John 17, Jesus prayed for Himself and all His followers—including believers today. Alistair Begg examines the eternal nature of Jesus’ request for glory and the victorious report He shared as He prayed to the Father. Because of His immense love for sinners, God the Father planned the work of salvation, God the Son accomplished it on the cross, and God the Spirit applies the reality of redemption to all who believe and trust in Christ.

  • August 19, 2024: “The Hour Has Come”

    August 19, 2024: “The Hour Has Come”
    Aug 19 2024
    When “the hour had come” for the fulfillment of Jesus’ earthly ministry, He turned to God the Father in prayer. Alistair Begg explores this pivotal historical moment by taking a closer look at what Jesus asked, the work He was assigned to do, and the way He assured believers of the nature of eternal life. While the world may view the cross of Christ as an emblem of defeat, Scripture reveals how it’s at Calvary that God’s ultimate power, love, mercy—and glory—were displayed.

  • August 12, 2024: “Rest for Your Souls”

    August 12, 2024: “Rest for Your Souls”
    Aug 12 2024
    A “Live for today!” attitude is widely embraced by our contemporary culture—and it leads to endless restlessness. In sharp contrast, Scripture teaches that the past and future are also important, because God has appointed a day of judgment. To be prepared to face that day, we need to understand history through the lens of the Bible. Alistair Begg walks us through the real human predicament, God’s costly intervention, and the divine promise made to those who come to His Son in repentance and faith: “You will find rest for your souls.”

  • August 5, 2024: The Lamb of God

    August 5, 2024: The Lamb of God
    Aug 5 2024
    Why are we, as saved sinners, given the privilege of feasting at the Communion table before a holy God? Because He has provided an atonement for our rebellion! Alistair Begg traces man’s search for a substitutionary sacrifice throughout Scripture, starting with Isaac, who asks his father, “Where is the lamb?” The ultimate answer, of course, comes centuries later, when John the Baptist introduces Jesus as the unblemished Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. By becoming sin for us on the cross, Christ Jesus provides perfect redemption—and perfect communion—for all who believe.

  • August 4, 2024: “Learn from Me”

    August 4, 2024: “Learn from Me”
    Aug 4 2024
    By nature, men and women act self-reliant, often burdened by the futility of trying to make sense of their existence or attempting to please God through self-effort. Jesus invites all sinners to come and find rest in Him. While His call is universal, it’s also very personal. Those who accept His invitation are expected to learn from Him. Encouraging us to become Christ’s pupils, Alistair Begg considers who Jesus is, what He does for believers, and what He’s like as a teacher.

  • July 8, 2024: Obligation

    July 8, 2024: Obligation
    Jul 8 2024
    After extending an invitation to His followers to come to Him to find rest, Jesus commanded them, “Take my yoke upon you,” promising them that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Examining the responsibility inherent in Jesus’ call, Alistair Begg underscores that this obligation is a call to live in actual freedom. Such freedom is not the illusory kind that the world offers, with no apparent rules or boundaries, but the true liberty found in Christ alone.
