I hope that listening to Truth For Life with Alistair Begg on 90.9 Life FM these past five years has drawn you closer to Christ. It’s been our pleasure to partner with Life FM to teach the Bible to listeners in the Miami area since 2013.

In the wake of Jesus' death, the actions of those who came to claim his body revealed their hearts: as far as they were concerned, the Jesus movement was all fizzled out. As Jesus was buried, though, a few faithful disciples watched and waited. Join with Alistair Begg as we look on to see the memory of this dispiriting burial soon replaced by a glorious hope.

Who really rules the world? A cacophony of angry voices surrounds us, but from God’s perspective, mankind’s boasting is utterly ridiculous. Alistair Begg examines the hostility of man in the face of God’s sovereignty, the Father’s decree of the anointed Lordship of Christ, and the futility of rejecting His reign. The Gospel both woos and warns us: Jesus is coming again, and the only way to flee God’s wrath is to take refuge in His mercy, provided in the gift of His Son.

The Roman army was one of the most rigorous, well-trained military outfits the world had ever seen. How astonishing, then, is the picture the gospels paint of the Roman soldiers' cruel ridicule of Jesus-the robe they mockingly draped on his shoulder, the crown of thorns they crushed on his brow, the scepter of reeds they used to beat him. Why, Alistair Begg asks, would Jesus endure such a grotesque, gratuitous display? Watch to find out.

Pontius Pilate was a man of authority-and he knew it. Proud, shrewd, and eager to appease the crowd of accusers before him, he was prepared to attempt the impossible: confronting Jesus face-to-face, yet remaining uncommitted. But is such neutrality toward Christ truly an option? Watch as Alistair Begg points us to the Bible's answer.

After he was betrayed, denied, and suddenly arrested, Jesus was brought to the palace of the Roman governor for questioning. As Pontius Pilate would soon discover, though, it wasn't Jesus who was truly on trial--it was himself. With the King of Kings standing before him, Pilate faced crucial questions of his own: Who was this Jesus? Why did he come? What did he do? And did it really matter? As Alistair Begg reminds us, the same vital questions confront us today. Are we prepared to answer them?

As Jesus hung dying on the cross, the disciples who had been by his side for years were suddenly nowhere to be found. In their place, the gospels describe two unlikely witnesses to Jesus' final moments: a Roman centurion and a remnant of faithful women. What did these witnesses see? And how did what they see transform them? Join in as Alistair Begg looks to the Bible for the answers.

The circumstances surrounding Jesus' resurrection were hardly ordinary--nor should we expect them to be! After all, the Creator of the universe had just triumphed over sin and death.

Dear Friend,

As we turn the corner from winter to spring, we begin to look forward to spending time in the garden. The Bible story begins in a garden and in the closing scenes of the book of Revelation, John describes the new earth coming down from heaven as a garden in which the tree of life stands. In Genesis, we see the Garden of Eden turned into a desert because of sin and in Revelation that desert is turned back into a garden.
