“Above All Things”

June 9, 2025 • 26 mins
Above all things, God exalts His name and His Word. This became evident to Moses when, feeling inadequate, he questioned God's choice of him as a spokesman. In response to these doubts, God assured Moses of His presence and identified Himself as the great "I AM." In his final sermon at Parkside Church, Alistair Begg focuses on this unique encounter found in Exodus 3. God met Moses's need with assurance of His "isness" as well as Hi...

“When Forty Years Had Passed”

June 8, 2025 • 39 mins
After failing in his first attempt as Israel's deliverer, Moses spent the next forty years living the routine life of a shepherd. During these "silent" years, God was preparing Moses to shepherd His people. In this study in Exodus 3, Alistair Begg walks us through God's appearance in the burning bush, His assurance of His sovereignty, and His assignment for Moses. Whether our lives seem out of control or stuck in humdrum routines, ...

In His Time — Part Two

June 1, 2025 • 32 mins
God makes all things beautiful in His time—even if His timing isn't always our ideal! When the Hebrews were enslaved and treated harshly in Egypt, one Hebrew infant was spared. Nurtured in the faith by his own mother, Moses also enjoyed the privileged life of an Egyptian prince. While little is known of Moses's first forty years, Alistair Begg explores two tragic events—and the resulting disgrace and delayed deliverance—that occurr...

In His Time — Part Three

June 1, 2025 • 32 mins
The Bible clearly teaches that God created the universe, orchestrates all of life's events, and knows us intimately. In this sermon on Exodus 2, Alistair Begg explains how God's providence shaped the early life of Moses in particular. Before the burning bush, the plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea, Moses murdered an Egyptian and, fearing retribution from Pharaoh, fled to Midian. There, however, instead of judgment, he found Go...

In His Time — Part One

May 27, 2025 • 42 mins
Amid trials and hardships, have you ever wondered where God was? When life's difficulties seem random and apparently pointless, it's vitally important to know what we believe about God. In this message on the opening of Exodus, Alistair Begg reminds us that even when heaven is silent, our heavenly Father is still at work behind the scenes. The same power that provided a way for Moses to become a redeemer for his people is at work i...

Preaching Christ from Genesis 37–50

May 21, 2025 • 65 mins
The Joseph story is well-known, but the hit musical's "technicolor dream coat" may have more influence than many realize. The challenge of this brilliant narrative is to bring out both moral lessons and the richness of the Gospel grace it proclaims as the plot illustrates much about the Lord's redeeming patterns. The Tron Church's Willie Philip helps us think through how to preach Christ from these chapters, not just using it as a ...

The God in Charge of History

May 18, 2025 • 44 mins
The story of our earthly pilgrimage is not a straight line—yet when our lives twist and turn and we face unanswered questions, hardship, and sorrow, there is hope for all who trust in Christ. Beginning with the transition from the end of Genesis to the opening of Exodus, Alistair Begg reminds us that God's providence underpins everything, as He is sovereign over all things, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. What was t...

A Meditation on Mother’s Day

May 12, 2025 • 24 mins
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 establi...

Ministering to Those with Addictions

May 9, 2025 • 54 mins
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

May 9, 2025 • 48 mins
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 p...

Panel Question Time (Basics 2025)

May 7, 2025 • 58 mins
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...

Preaching in the Face of Growing Opposition

May 7, 2025 • 42 mins
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 stron...

“Shepherd the Flock of God”

May 7, 2025 • 49 mins
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...

A Roundtable with Alistair Begg, William Philip, and Richard Pratt

May 6, 2025 • 50 mins
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

May 6, 2025 • 62 mins
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

May 6, 2025 • 58 mins
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 worl...

The Perfect Patience of God’s Mercy

May 6, 2025 • 50 mins
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 dar...

Preaching to Bring Us Together

May 6, 2025 • 49 mins
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 ...

God’s New Society

May 5, 2025 • 46 mins
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, drawin...

The Church’s Abiding Message to the World

May 5, 2025 • 53 mins
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...
