God is the author of the Bible and the creator of its readers—but until we accept His Word’s authority, we will not defer to it, especially when it runs counter to the expectations of modern-day culture. Building on this foundational truth, Alistair Begg explores what the Bible has to say about God’s design for women. In this series, we encounter challenging questions that arise as the Bible speaks with clarity into our time and place. With God’s Word as our foundation, we discover that godly women make a powerful difference in their families, churches, and communities.

In the book, Name above All Names, authors Alistair Begg and Sinclair Ferguson focus on seven key names assigned to Christ. Their study begins in Genesis, with the earliest promise of His coming as the Seed of the Woman who will defeat the seed of the serpent, and wraps up in Revelation, with the promise of Christ’s return as the Lamb on the Throne who takes away the sin of the world.

The challenge for today’s churches to remain rooted in the truth of the Gospel is not new. In fact, the church in Colossae during the days of the Apostle Paul was influenced by many worldly falsehoods, including superstition, mythology and even simple error in doctrinal translation. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul imposes two key messages which are as applicable today as they were then. First, he re-confirms that all things were created and hold together through Jesus Christ and that we must walk with Him and hold steadfast to our faith in His saving power. Paul then provides practical application for Christian living which we can still look to as a continual source of direction and guidance.
