In today’s world, we don’t discuss God’s wrath often. While many of us hold to the truth that God is loving and full of grace and mercy, it can be tempting to stop there, leaving us with an incomplete picture of God’s true character. In these sermons, Alistair Begg reminds us that while God is loving, He is also just, and there are consequences if we don't accept His Son as our Savior.

When Martin Luther first proposed his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, he wasn’t trying to be a revolutionary. 500 years later, though, we look back on that moment as the spark that ignited the Reformation. On that day, he kindled a passion for the Gospel that’s still burning bright throughout the world.

Those who have come to know the Lord Jesus experience the tension of living for Christ in the midst of darkness. At one extreme, we're tempted to separate from the world entirely; at the other, to embrace our culture without question. Alistair Begg reminds us that every Christian must engage the culture without accommodating the darkness present because of unbelief. The transforming light of the Gospel shines when Christians live as those who have been transformed by the grace of God with minds saturated by the Word of God. (Ephesians 5:7-14)

The Reformers concluded from Scripture that a true church exists where the Word of God is rightly preached and the ordinances are rightly administered. In its assembly, the local church is made up of believers united to fulfill the work commissioned by Jesus: making disciples of all the nations.

The problem with the human condition isn’t lack of education, inadequate resources, or insufficient self-effort: it’s a matter of the heart. Alistair Begg explains that by nature, every human being is corrupted by sin, and we cannot understand ourselves, our neighbors, or our culture without first wrestling with this truth. Those who are in Christ are radically transformed from darkness to light as the Spirit of God reveals the Son of God through the work of the Word of God. (Ephesians 5:8)

The book of Daniel contains familiar Bible stories and perplexing apocalyptic visions, yet both are held together by the doctrinal anchors of God’s sovereignty over the affairs of history and His promise to judge the world. History is unfolding according to God’s plan, and every one of us will stand before our Creator. These realities had bearing on how Daniel and his friends lived amid a pagan culture, and they have bearing on how we live today.

Dear Friend,

This month marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. This theological revolution is largely ignored and forgotten, not just in our secular culture, but more tragically in an increasingly confused and compromised Church.

In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul addressed the reality of what it means to know, love, and follow Christ. Teaching from Ephesians 5:5-6, Alistair Begg reminds us that those God has justified, He will also purify through the continuing process of sanctification. The ground of our salvation is established in the work Jesus Christ has done, but the evidence of that salvation is in our response toward ungodliness, and is an ongoing result of the work being done in us. (Scripture: Ephesians 5:5-6)

Christians have a new identity in Christ that should be reflected in our lifestyle. Alistair Begg reminds us that walking in a manner worthy of the calling we have received involves speaking truthfully, distinguishing righteous from unrighteous anger, and working diligently in order to give generously. When the Church cultivates this kind of lifestyle, it denies the devil a foothold in our lives and testifies to the power of the Gospel. (Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-28)
