Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2025/11/17

In Mark 14, we read that as the time for Jesus’ crucifixion drew near, a woman came to Him and anointed His head with an alabaster flask of precious oil. While this heartfelt act of worship provoked the disciples’ disapproval, Jesus celebrated her for doing “a beautiful thing.” Alistair Begg surveys the woman’s action, the disciples’ reaction, and Jesus’ commendation, helping us to see that the only true pathway to lasting honor is to honor Christ.

In a church context that held great potential for apostasy, Timothy faced the task of leading through the example of his lifestyle and work. Faithful ministry, Paul explained to him, flows from godly character—speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity—and from wholehearted devotion to Scripture, exhortation, and teaching. Alistair Begg considers Paul’s guidance to Timothy, which can help today’s pastors, too, as they seek to watch themselves and their doctrine closely and see themselves and their

Timothy, the apostle Paul’s protégé, was not only to be alert to the dangers that lay before the people under his care; he was also to make sure that they understood God’s truth. Alistair Begg unpacks Paul’s instructions in 1 Timothy 4:6–10, which focus on the importance of ministering well, being nourished in the faith, training for godliness, and, ultimately, placing hope in “the Savior of all people.”

In the concluding verse of 1 Timothy 4, Paul instructs Timothy, “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.” What did he mean by these words? Alistair Begg begins an examination of the answer by looking at the chapter’s opening verses, which outline the apostacy Paul warned about, how it would happen, by whom it would happen, and what its teaching would involve.

As he drew his first epistle to a close, the apostle Peter turned his focus to the elders of the churches to which he wrote, urging them to lead their people with godliness. Elders and pastors are shepherds over God’s flock, Alistair Begg reminds us—ones who should lead by example, cultivating humility, entrusting God with their anxieties, preparing to face adversity, and resting in the security of God’s grace.

In the fourth chapter of his first epistle, in light of all that he’d written up to that point, Peter continued to unpack how the reality of Christ’s sacrifice should shape the day-to-day of the Christian life. Living under the shadow of the cross, Alistair Begg explains, means thinking properly, living differently, and being prepared to face abuse, even as we keep our eyes fixed on the end and endure the path of suffering laid before us.

Sept. 8, 2025: Honorable Conduct

2025/09/08

The believers of Peter’s day, transformed by God’s grace, faced inevitable accusations from the world around them. In response, Peter urged them to defend themselves not by arguing for their position but by living honorable lives. Alistair Begg walks us through the apostle’s teaching on Christian conduct in the realms of submission to civil government, servants’ duty to their masters, and marriage, helping us to see that the strongest missionary force in the world is not a method or a movement but a

Sept. 8, 2025: Suffering for Doing Good

2025/09/08

When believers face suffering, how are we to respond, and how are we to love and care for one another in the midst of it? The apostle Peter addressed these concerns as he wrote his first letter, reminding his readers to cultivate Christian character, love their enemies, commit themselves to doing good, and be prepared to explain their hope, all in view of Christ’s own suffering on our behalf. As Alistair Begg explains, for the Christian, suffering is inevitable—but how we endure it can, by God’s

Having urged the readers of his first letter to “love one another earnestly from a pure heart,” Peter went on to explain what such brotherly love would entail. Alistair Begg unpacks the apostle’s instructions, which clarify that fellowship demands action. In their new life together, Christians must be prepared to feed themselves on God’s Word, establish themselves on the foundation of union with Christ, and stand as witnesses to God’s goodness and glory before a watching world.

After declaring the indicatives of what was true of them in Christ, Peter laid out several imperatives for the first-century readers of his first letter to take to heart. As Alistair Begg points out, his instructions—to prepare their minds, be sober-minded, set their hope on Jesus, be holy, live in reverent fear, love earnestly, and obey the truth—remind us today of our need for grace and of the abiding truth of God’s Word.

Aug. 25, 2025: How Great a Salvation!

2025/08/25

The initial readers of Peter’s first epistle were an eclectic group, comprised of both Jews and gentiles dispersed throughout a broad geographical region and facing various trials and persecutions. Even so, they were unified by the shared reality of having been “born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” Alistair Begg examines the opening verses of 1 Peter, which describe this great salvation and the hope it offers to all who are in Christ.

June 9, 2025: “Above All Things”

2025/06/09

Above all things, God exalts His name and His Word. This became evident to Moses when, feeling inadequate, he questioned God’s choice of him as a spokesman. In response to these doubts, God assured Moses of His presence and identified Himself as the great “I AM.” In his final sermon at Parkside Church, Alistair Begg focuses on this unique encounter found in Exodus 3. God met Moses’s need with assurance of His “isness” as well as His presence—spiritual realities that remain reliable and trustworthy

June 3, 2025: In His Time — Part Three

Truth For Life with Alistair Begg Sermons ·

2025/06/03

The Bible clearly teaches that God created the universe, orchestrates all of life’s events, and knows us intimately. In this sermon on Exodus 2, Alistair Begg explains how God’s providence shaped the early life of Moses in particular. Before the burning bush, the plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea, Moses murdered an Egyptian and, fearing retribution from Pharaoh, fled to Midian. There, however, instead of judgment, he found God’s favor. As with Moses, our lives unfold beneath the unseen hand of

God makes all things beautiful in His time—even if His timing isn’t always our ideal! When the Hebrews were enslaved and treated harshly in Egypt, one Hebrew infant was spared. Nurtured in the faith by his own mother, Moses also enjoyed the privileged life of an Egyptian prince. While little is known of Moses’s first forty years, Alistair Begg explores two tragic events—and the resulting disgrace and delayed deliverance—that occurred when Moses imposed his own will instead of relying on God’s

Amid trials and hardships, have you ever wondered where God was? When life’s difficulties seem random and apparently pointless, it’s vitally important to know what we believe about God. In this message on the opening of Exodus, Alistair Begg reminds us that even when heaven is silent, our heavenly Father is still at work behind the scenes. The same power that provided a way for Moses to become a redeemer for his people is at work in the vast array of details of our lives today.

The story of our earthly pilgrimage is not a straight line—yet when our lives twist and turn and we face unanswered questions, hardship, and sorrow, there is hope for all who trust in Christ. Beginning with the transition from the end of Genesis to the opening of Exodus, Alistair Begg reminds us that God’s providence underpins everything, as He is sovereign over all things, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. What was true for the Israelites is true for us today: We can trust that the

In the moments before He died, Jesus saw His mother, Mary, standing with John and tenderly commended them to one another’s care. In this Mother’s Day message, Alistair Begg ponders the history and heart of Mary, reminding us that Jesus’ loving and temporal provision for her in this moment is an emblem of a far greater reality—the eternal provision Christ makes for all who believe in Him. With this act of loving grace, Jesus establishes a whole new category, fashioning a family of faith that finds
