A Good Servant of Christ
What does it mean to be a good servant of Jesus Christ? In 1 Timothy 4, Paul urges Timothy to remain faithful to God’s Word, train himself in godliness, and set an example for the believers in his care. Examining these instructions, Alistair Begg reminds pastors that personal holiness matters…

Panel Question Time (Basics 2026)
In this question-and-answer session from Basics 2026, Bob Lepine joins Alistair Begg, Hershael York, and Todd Smith to discuss the challenges and joys of pastoral ministry. How can a man discern a call to ministry? When is it time for a pastor to step aside? How should church leaders navigate...
-
The Definitive Picture of a Christian Leader
In his final charge to Timothy, the apostle Paul provides a definitive picture of Christian leadership. Examining 2 Timothy 4:1–8, Alistair Begg explains that the pastor’s calling is solemn, straightforward, and strategic: He must faithfully proclaim God’s Word, even when its message is unpopular...
-
The Hidden Life of a Shepherd
It’s easy for a pastor to judge his ministry by what others can see: the size of the church, the platform, the response. But the true test of a shepherd is what drives him when no one is watching. In this message from 1 Peter 5:1–5, Hershael York looks at Peter’s charge to elders and shows that...
-
The Vigilance of a Guard
Faithful pastors don’t usually drift from the Gospel by denying it outright. More often it happens slowly, through the pull to sound sophisticated, keep up with every controversy, or soften what Scripture says so it’s easier to hear. In this message, Hershael York considers Paul’s final, urgent...
-
Pastoral Margins: Finding Balance in Ministry and in Life
Ministry can feel like it’s always competing with home. Pastors’ wives and children sometimes come to resent the church that seems to take their husband and father away. Drawing on more than four decades as a pastor, husband, and father, Hershael York argues in this breakout that God never calls…

Enlightened Together: A New Ministry
Throughout history, mankind has longed for a world marked by harmony, hope, and peace. Yet until God remakes the world we’ve broken, a truly united humanity remains a future promise. Even so, Alistair Begg reminds us that we can catch a glimpse of that coming reality in the church—a pilot scheme...
-
Jesus on Worship
Biblical worship is far more than music or personal expression; it is God’s people responding rightly to who He is and what He has done. Examining Jesus’ teaching in John 4 alongside the Hundredth Psalm and the devotion of the woman at Bethany, Alistair Begg explains what it means to worship God…

An Army Bold
When the apostles Peter and John were released from custody after being arrested for proclaiming the Gospel, their fellow believers responded in prayer. Acts 4 records this prayer, which provides Christians of any era with a pattern for how to pray. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks the…

The Pathway to God’s Plan
The opening verses of Romans 12 point to the fact that discerning God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will begins with wholehearted surrender to Him. Alistair Begg explains that as believers grounded in God’s mercy, we are called to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, resist conformity to the...
-
Going Up, Looking Back, Keeping On
Psalm 126, one of the Psalms of Ascent, traces the pilgrim song of God’s people through three movements: going up, looking back, and keeping on. Reflecting on Israel’s restoration from exile, Alistair Begg shows how joyful remembrance of God’s past faithfulness fuels present perseverance and…

The Ministry of Reminder
The first five verses of 2 Timothy 4 encapsulate Paul’s concern for the ongoing ministry of the Gospel. At this point in his letter, Paul has reminded Timothy that he must continue in the Gospel himself and that the Scriptures are divinely inspired. Now, as Alistair Begg explains, Paul turns...
-
A Lesson in Leadership
After overseeing the reconstruction of Jerusalem’s walls and the restoration of the people’s right worship, Nehemiah returned to Susa. When he later came back to Jerusalem, what he found was distressing: The people had embraced unhelpful associations, unfulfilled commitments, unkept promises, and...
-
Hard-Pressed but Not Crushed
While all Scripture is inspired, not all Scripture is equally inspiring. When we read the long list of names in Nehemiah 3, we might be prone to wonder at its purpose. As Alistair Begg reminds us, though, God’s work requires the unified, active participation of those whose names will largely be...
-
Abounding Hope
Jesus performed many miracles, from casting out demons to healing various diseases and cleansing leprous men. So why, then, did He first tell a paralytic with an obvious need for physical healing that his sins were forgiven? Alistair Begg helps us to understand that the physical dimension of what...
-
Planting the Vision
After learning of the sorry state of Jerusalem’s walls, Nehemiah responded with prayerful dependence, careful preparation, and quiet assessment before calling others to act. As Alistair Begg points out, his leadership combined trust in God’s sovereignty with practical wisdom and courage in the…

Dangers and Delights of Pastoral Ministry
According to one Barna study, the average pastor lasts only five years at a given church—often leaving just when, statistically speaking, he would be approaching his greatest period of usefulness. In a world of such short pastoral tenures, what does it look like to minister in the same place for...
-
The Centrality of the Word in Discipleship
As Christopher Ash writes, “The word of God is the driving force that shapes authentic church life.” If in our churches we wish to see discipleship in the pews, we have to have discipleship in the pulpit. With this conviction in view, Alistair Begg guides us through Paul’s stirring words in 2...
-
Entreating the Extravagant Generosity of God
One of the evidences of our having been adopted into God’s family is that we pray. But what are we to actually pray about, and how? In Ephesians 3, Paul reveals his prayers for the Ephesian believers, providing a pattern for prayer that both encourages and challenges believers in all times. In…

Pastoral Responsibilities
“What’s it like to work just one day a week?” While many pastors find themselves on the receiving end of such questions, the reality is that as Gospel workers, pastors know their jobs are never really finished. As Alistair Begg notes, Paul’s instructions to his protégé Timothy make clear that the...
-
Remembering and Keeping
Having urged his readers to contend for the faith and learn from the past, Jude used the closing section of his letter to call them to remembrance, perseverance, and mercy. While our salvation is grounded in the work of Christ, Alistair Begg reminds us, the evidence of our salvation is in our...

“A Beautiful Thing”
In Mark 14, we read that as the time for Jesus’ crucifixion drew near, a woman came to Him and anointed His head with an alabaster flask of precious oil. While this heartfelt act of worship provoked the disciples’ disapproval, Jesus celebrated her for doing “a beautiful thing.” Alistair Begg...
