December 30, 2024: The Gift of God

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/30

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 30, 2024: Wonders of His Love

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/30

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

December 15, 2024: What Angels Wish They Knew

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/15

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 15, 2024: All One in Jesus

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/15

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

December 9, 2024: “And for Their Sake…”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/09

“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”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/08

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”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/12/02

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

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/11/04

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

October 28, 2024: The Evil One

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/10/28

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…”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/10/21

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

October 14, 2024: The Keeping Power of God

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/10/14

Knowing that after His imminent arrest, His disciples would soon scatter in fear, the Son of God prayed for their spiritual preservation, unity, and joy. Unpacking verses 11–13 of Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer, Alistair Begg points out how God’s care for His children supersedes our greatest self-concerns. Not everyone experiences God’s blessings, though! The inexpressible joy of salvation can only be known by the truly penitent who rest entirely on Christ’s atoning work.

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

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/09/08

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 My Word

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/09/03

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

August 26, 2024: “Before the World Existed”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/08/26

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”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/08/19

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

August 12, 2024: “Rest for Your Souls”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/08/12

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

August 5, 2024: The Lamb of God

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/08/05

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

August 4, 2024: “Learn from Me”

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2024/08/04

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.
