Wouldn’t it be great if children came with an instruction guide? Alistair Begg teaches us that, in fact, they do! The Bible is the ultimate source for instruction and contains everything we need to know about raising children. Navigating the challenges of parenting is particularly difficult in today’s culture, which is confused about the role of mothers and fathers and the unique benefits they each bring to the family unit. Wise parenting begins with the realization that we are all born in sin; when this doctrine is properly understood, it will have practical implications on how we discipline and train our children. Mothers should embrace their irreplaceable role, and fathers are to lead their families under the framework of Biblical truth. Believing parents can be encouraged by God’s promise: “Train them up in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.”

Sermons on Backsliding
When we first become a Christian, it is hard to imagine we would ever wander from Christ. But gradually we can find ourselves spending less time in the Bible and in prayer. Sometimes we aren't even aware how far we have wandered until a fellow Christian comes along side us with a reminder of the relationship with Christ we are ignoring. In these sermons, Alistair Begg speaks to both those who are backsliding and those who come along side the wanderers.

People come back to life from the dead, and a body disappears. Centuries’ worth of prophecies are about to be fulfilled, but not in the way anyone expects—and conspiracies and political intrigue surround it all.

Sermons on Spiritual Warfare from Alistair Begg
There are two common mistakes people make when thinking about the devil– we become preoccupied with his existence or ignore it altogether. In this series on spiritual warfare, Alistair Begg helps listeners understand the often overlooked reality that there is a war happening all around us every day. As Christians and soldiers in God’s army, The Bible calls us to understand who our enemy is, where this battle is taking place, and how to defend ourselves before we can be successful in this ongoing, unseen, and unavoidable war. Though the fate of our enemy has been decided, the battle rages on, and each of us must make use of the armor and weapons that God has given us to defend ourselves from Satan’s attacks.
