  • December 30, 2024: Wonders of His Love

    December 30, 2024: Wonders of His Love
    Dec 30 2024
    Jesus was born to die to save sinners. The baby in the manger is the creator of the universe and the same one who, within hours of His death, prayed for His disciples. He displayed His glory through perfect obedience to the Father—which culminated in His sacrificial death. Examining John 17:22–23, Alistair Begg considers the glory given to Christ. This same glory is extended to believers so that we may reflect in our words and actions a supernatural unity grounded in the Gospel and share in His love.

  • December 30, 2024: The Gift of God

    December 30, 2024: The Gift of God
    Dec 30 2024
    Christmas is a popular time of year for gift giving. Sometimes our efforts to find the ideal gift hit the mark; other times, they fall woefully short of expectations. In this Christmas Eve service, Alistair Begg reflects on how Jesus is the only truly perfect gift. He alone fulfills the deepest longings of the human heart for genuine happiness, abiding peace, and everlasting love. But like any present, salvation in Christ can only be enjoyed by those who actually accept the gift.

  • December 15, 2024: All One in Jesus

    December 15, 2024: All One in Jesus
    Dec 15 2024
    All who trust in Jesus are united in Him with fellow believers. Looking to Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer, Alistair Begg explores the foundation and distinctiveness of Christian unity. When the Holy Spirit applies the Gospel’s truth to our hearts, the resulting unity is supernatural in origin, doctrinal in substance, evangelical in expression, and pastoral in focus. Believers worldwide are called to come together rather than isolate, so that the good news of the Gospel will be attractively showcased before a watching world.

  • December 15, 2024: What Angels Wish They Knew

    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…”

    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 8, 2024: “Into the World”

    December 8, 2024: “Into the World”
    Dec 8 2024
    Before His earthly mission came to an end, Jesus prayed for the disciples as they were being commissioned to serve the Lord. Focusing on John 17:18, Alistair Begg considers what God the Father has done, what Jesus has done, and where believers fit into God’s eternal plan. Because God loves the world, He sent Jesus to redeem those who are perishing. In turn, Jesus calls the redeemed—empowered by the Holy Spirit—to proclaim the wondrous Gospel throughout the nations.

  • December 2, 2024: “Sanctify Them”

    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.
