  • 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”
    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”
    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
    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”
    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
    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.

  • July 1, 2024: RSVP
    Jul 1 2024
    Every invitation calls for a response—including Jesus’ call in Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Alistair Begg walks us through Christ’s gracious invitation, demonstrating how it is a timeless, personal, and universal call to all who are weary, burdened, lost, or sad. It is an offer not for the self-sufficient but for the broken and empty-handed. Yet while respite is promised, it’s not automatic; we first must respond to His invitation to “come.”

    Jun 10 2024
    Prayer had a high priority in Jesus’ life. After teaching His disciples and preparing them for His departure, He prayed for Himself, for His disciples, and for all believers for all time. Beginning a study of John 17, Alistair Begg walks us through Christ’s straightforward yet deeply profound High Priestly Prayer. In an overview of this sacred passage, we get a taste of the mystery, security, sanctity, unity, and glory that Jesus prayed for—and that Alistair will explore in depth as this study unfolds.
