Here is the reality for Christians: the one we love the most is the one we’ve never seen. There are times we have a hard time comprehending what God is like. We have a hard time feeling his love for us. And so, God can feel distant from us. It is hard for us to feel safe approaching him. Jon and ...

The New Testament heavily relies on the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament to confirm the truthfulness of Jesus' claims.

One of the earliest summaries of the gospel can be found in Philippians 2:6-11.

If you think the “meat of the word” is about our obedience and what we do, this episode is for you. Jon and Justin explain how holiness and obedience is a fruit of our growth in Christ--but how to eat the meat of the word is to grow in our understanding of the gospel of Christ, our union with Chr...

The Jesus we see agonizing in the Garden of Gethsemane is the same eternal “Word” who created the universe: He is neither merely “like God” nor derived from the Father, but fully divine. In this sermon, Alistair Begg encourages us to study His part in the Holy Trinity. As he reminds us, the Bible...

Jesus proclaimed that we must eat and drink of Him to have eternal life. But how could that possibly be?

In seasons of doubt or discouragement, how do we know our faith is secure?

Examinin...

In today’s episode, Jon and Justin consider how our own righteousness only leads to death. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul makes it clear that we have all been counted with Adam’s guilt–and that the only hope we have is that we would be counted with Christ’s righteousness. By faith, Jesus becomes our rep...
