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 recovered, bringing reform to the church and the promise of salvation to all who trust in Him.

A Meditation on Mother’s Day 24:04

8 days ago24:04

24:04

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 both forgiveness and fellowship in the work of the cross.…

Ministering to Those with Addictions 54:25

11 days ago54:25

54:25

Between 2020 and 2023, over 400,000 Americans died drug-related deaths, with another 560,000 succumbing to deaths related to alcohol. The statistics are just as bad in Scotland. For the past eight years, Hope for Addiction UK has been seeking to make a difference in this arena. In this breakout session, Terry McCutcheon shares what the organization has been doing and learning as it seeks to minister in a culture of addiction.…

How the Pastor Shepherds a Praise Team 48:02

11 days ago48:02

48:02

Most pastors have experienced a Sunday (or many!) when they aren't on the same page as the praise musicians. This disconnect can result in discontinuity between the pulpit and music ministry, frustrating both the pastor and the worship team. In this breakout, Parkside Church's Jonathan Albright considers several practical music ministry scenarios and identifies key principles that lead to unified, intentional ministry between the pastor and praise team.…

Panel Question Time (Basics 2025) 58:04

13 days ago58:04

58:04

In this Basics 2025 question-and-answer session, Parkside Church's Matt Ross poses attendees' questions to Alistair Begg and fellow speakers Willie Philip and Richard Pratt. How do prospective ministers discern their sense of calling? How can pastors preach the Old Testament Christologically and still remain faithful to the text? What particular dangers does the church face in our politically divisive cultural climate? Hear answers to these questions and others as you listen in on the conversation.…

Preaching in the Face of Growing Opposition 42:47

13 days ago42:47

42:47

In a world in which opposition to Christianity seems to be rising, what does it mean to echo the apostle Paul's stirring claim that he was "not ashamed of the gospel"? Thirdmill's Richard Platt helps us see that the answer lies in remembering the words that follow: "It is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." The good news of Jesus, he reminds us, doesn't just have a strong arm; it also has a long reach. How can we be anything but eager to preach it?…

“Shepherd the Flock of God” 49:12

13 days ago49:12

49:12

In the final section of his first epistle, the apostle Peter issued a series of challenging exhortations to the elders of the churches to which he wrote. In the concluding message of Basics 2025, Alistair Begg shows how Peter's words remain relevant to today's pastors and church leaders, reminding them of the key imperatives of Gospel ministry. The only hope we have, he reminds us—in ministry and in life—is in the God of grace, who provides support so that we won't topple, strength so that we won't collapse, and a foundation so that we won't be blown away.…

14 days ago50:52

What are the plus sides of ministering in a society that seems to have moved on from Christianity? How important is cultural awareness when ministering internationally? Is American Christianity in decline—and if so, where might we be headed in the future? Join Basics 2025 conference speakers Willie Philip, Richard Pratt, and Alistair Begg as they answer these questions and more in this spirited and Gospel-affirming conversation.…

Ten Things Every Pastor Needs to Know About Abuse 1:02:27

14 days ago1:02:27

1:02:27

Abuse is often a confounding issue for pastors and ministry leaders to navigate—and identifying abusive and oppressive behaviors in marriage can feel especially overwhelming. In this session, Fieldstone Counseling founder Jonathan Holmes discusses some core principles for caring for the abused well and understanding how abuse goes against God's intended designs and purposes for husbands and wives.…

Rooted in Christ but Relevant for Our Changing World 58:23

14 days ago58:23

58:23

All Christian leaders, and especially those who minister the Word of God, must be sure that they remain firmly rooted in Christ. This is especially true when the world around us challenges the Christian faith in new ways. As Third Millennium Ministries' Richard Pratt explains, the apostle Paul experienced this in his own life—and in 1 Corinthians, he wrote how he was able to stay firmly rooted but also relevant in his changing world.…

The Perfect Patience of God’s Mercy 50:59

14 days ago50:59

50:59

Of all the chapters in Genesis, few are as challenging to understand, much less preach, as chapter 38, which recounts a sordid series of events involving Judah and Tamar. As the Tron Church's Willie Philip helps us see, however, this passage demonstrates that while God's arm is strong, it is also long. If He can work into His wonderful story of grace and mercy even people like those in this story, then surely there can't be any darkness or misery so great as to keep Him from doing the same today.…

Preaching to Bring Us Together 49:39

14 days ago49:39

49:39

Those serving in ministry can easily lean too far toward idealism on the one hand or pragmatism on the other. In Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul strikes a perfect balance between the hope that is ours in Christ and the necessity of speaking the truth in love to a lost and wandering world. Richard Pratt of Third Millennium Ministries walks us through this vital passage, helping us understand how we can live in a manner that is worthy of our high and holy calling.…

God’s New Society 46:23

15 days ago46:23

46:23

To some extent, we all hope for a world of harmony, hope, and peace. But how is such a world supposed to come about? In this conference message, Alistair Begg explains how the church is intended to allow a fallen humanity to catch a glimpse of the eternal reality described throughout Scripture. The Gospel brings a piece of the future into the present when local churches demonstrate a unity that transcends earthly boundaries, drawing people together in and under Christ's lordship.…

The Church’s Abiding Message to the World 53:08

15 days ago53:08

53:08

The Old Testament presents us with many passages that are challenging to preach—but some are especially disgraceful and disturbing. Genesis 19 is one such passage, detailing a troubling incident involving Lot and the men of Sodom, who sought to commit a wicked act against those in his house. Willie Philip from the Tron Church, Glasgow, leads us through this difficult chapter, demonstrating how even passages revealing the horror and darkness of human sin can be preached in a way that points hearers to the Gospel.…

“Therefore, Brothers and Sisters…” 28:02

16 days ago28:02

28:02

The great distinctive of Christianity is the hope it offers in a hopeless world. Through an act of perfect redemption, Jesus has dealt with our sinful predicament, and God's wrath has been satisfied. In this Communion message, Alistair Begg reminds us of the believer's security in Christ, which is fixed in the completed work at the cross. Because of Jesus, we can confidently draw near to God, holding fast to the hope found in Him and considering "how to stir up one another to love and good works."…
