Sept. 1, 2026: Enlightened Together: A New Ministry
Throughout history, mankind has longed for a world marked by harmony, hope, and peace. Yet until God remakes the world we’ve broken, a truly united humanity remains a future promise. Even so, Alistair Begg reminds us that we can catch a glimpse of that coming reality in the church—a pilot scheme for the reconciled universe still to come.
July 15, 2026: Jesus on Worship
Biblical worship is far more than music or personal expression; it is God’s people responding rightly to who He is and what He has done. Examining Jesus’ teaching in John 4 alongside the Hundredth Psalm and the devotion of the woman at Bethany, Alistair Begg explains what it means to worship God in spirit and truth with joyful, heartfelt, and sacrificial devotion. True worship, he reminds us, is c
May 26, 2026: An Army Bold
When the apostles Peter and John were released from custody after being arrested for proclaiming the Gospel, their fellow believers responded in prayer. Acts 4 records this prayer, which provides Christians of any era with a pattern for how to pray. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks the early believers’ prayer, demonstrating how it was communal, theological, scriptural, and purposeful—and cha
May 18, 2026: Faithful Mentorship
Mentorship is often associated with passing along skills, experience, or practical wisdom. But according to the apostle Paul, faithful Christian mentorship begins much deeper, with lives transformed by God's grace. Examining Paul’s relationship with Timothy, Alistair Begg highlights the qualities that characterize both godly mentors and teachable disciples, reminding us that growing faith, genuine
May 15, 2026: The Pathway to God’s Plan
The opening verses of Romans 12 point to the fact that discerning God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will begins with wholehearted surrender to Him. Alistair Begg explains that as believers grounded in God’s mercy, we are called to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, resist conformity to the spirit of the age, and pursue inward transformation through the Holy Spirit’s renewing work. The Christian
May 8, 2026: Going Up, Looking Back, Keeping On
Psalm 126, one of the Psalms of Ascent, traces the pilgrim song of God’s people through three movements: going up, looking back, and keeping on. Reflecting on Israel’s restoration from exile, Alistair Begg shows how joyful remembrance of God’s past faithfulness fuels present perseverance and future hope. The psalm’s tension between remembered blessing and ongoing need points ultimately to Christ,
May 1, 2026: The Ministry of Reminder
The first five verses of 2 Timothy 4 encapsulate Paul’s concern for the ongoing ministry of the Gospel. At this point in his letter, Paul has reminded Timothy that he must continue in the Gospel himself and that the Scriptures are divinely inspired. Now, as Alistair Begg explains, Paul turns Timothy’s attention to the solemn charge, stirring challenge, and straightforward and vitally important com
April 28, 2026: A Lesson in Leadership
After overseeing the reconstruction of Jerusalem’s walls and the restoration of the people’s right worship, Nehemiah returned to Susa. When he later came back to Jerusalem, what he found was distressing: The people had embraced unhelpful associations, unfulfilled commitments, unkept promises, and unholy marriages. Alistair Begg walks us through each of these issues in turn, helping us to see why t
April 27, 2026: Hard-Pressed but Not Crushed
While all Scripture is inspired, not all Scripture is equally inspiring. When we read the long list of names in Nehemiah 3, we might be prone to wonder at its purpose. As Alistair Begg reminds us, though, God’s work requires the unified, active participation of those whose names will largely be forgotten, each contributing their part within a larger purpose. And as chapter 4 makes plain, while opp
April 20, 2026: Abounding Hope
Jesus performed many miracles, from casting out demons to healing various diseases and cleansing leprous men. So why, then, did He first tell a paralytic with an obvious need for physical healing that his sins were forgiven? Alistair Begg helps us to understand that the physical dimension of what Jesus did in people’s lives was not His most significant work; rather, it was what He did at the heart
