Waiting Is the Hardest Part

Sermons and Bible teaching from Alistair Begg. Alistair has been in pastoral ministry since 1975. Following graduation from The London School of Theology, he served eight years in Scotland at both Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh and Hamilton Baptist Church. 

In 1983, he became the senior pastor at Parkside Church near Cleveland, Ohio.  He has written several books and is heard daily and weekly on the radio program, Truth For Life.  The teaching on Truth For Life stems from the week by week Bible teaching at Parkside Church.

He and his wife, Susan, were married in 1975 and they have three grown children.

Hillsong Church

You're no longer wandering exiles. The Kingdom of Heaven is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all, irrespective of how we got here in what He is building. He used the apostles in the prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus at the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day. A holy temple built by God, all of us built into it. A temple in which God is quite at home.

A Temple Built Together | Phil Dooley

God has brought The Brooklyn Tabernacle from a handful of members in a small rundown building in a difficult area, to a congregation of more than 10,000 weekly attendees. Pastor Cymbala and his wife Carol, who directs the popular Grammy Award winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, have been used by the Lord not only to preach the Gospel in the inner city of New York, but also to see new churches grow out of the congregation across New York, as well as domestically and internationally. The ministry of the Church has from the outset reached out to the cross-cultural melting pot of New York City. It is comprised of men, women, and children of all ethnic and national origins. However, central to the growth and expansion of the Church has been the continual emphasis on prayer, from the Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting that is attended by thousands to the Prayer Band, members of the Church devoted to boldly "calling on the Lord" for needs from around the world.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:8. Our anger and biases block our prayers. How can we claim to have faithful spirits of prayer if we’re holding onto grudges and contention? We can’t. We must ask the Lord to cleanse our hearts of anger and help us be peaceable.

What happens when your hometown thinks they know you… and you claim you’re the Messiah? ????????️ 
In Luke 4, Jesus reads Isaiah 61 (good news to the poor, freedom, sight for the blind, oppressed set free) and says, “Today this is fulfilled”—then compares Nazareth to Israel rejecting Elijah/Elisha, and the crowd tries to throw Him off a cliff ????????⛰️. 
The warning is wild: familiarity can make you miss God showing up, so where might you be pushing back when truth gets personal? ????⚡️

The Cost of Complaining

Scripture:Verse By Verse 

with Michael Meurett

Study the entire Bible verse by verse.

I have been teaching the Bible verse by verse on radio and television for over 30 years. My goal has always been to teach it in a clear simple understandable way, and to make it as practical as possible. As the name implies these commentaries are basic, and hopefully they will make Scripture more understandable for you. I pray they are used by God to draw you closer to Christ.
