The Bible is clear- if anyone rejects Christ's invitation for salvation, destruction is their end. This was powerfully demonstrated when Jesus, knowing the devastation that awaited Jerusalem, wept over the wayward city. Preaching on this often overlooked scene from the Passion Week narrative, Alistair Begg reminds us that Jesus still is grieved when sinners refuse His mercy and leave themselves without hope, peace, joy, or forgiveness. Will we weep with Him-and then carry the amazing news of His love to the world--

Ever since the church began, false prophets have infiltrated congregations, leading others astray by denying Christ's power and abusing God's grace as an opportunity for immorality. In his epistle, Jude made sure his readers would be able to recognize "these people" by issuing three charges against them: they pollute the flesh, they reject authority, and they slander God's truth. Noting the relevance of Jude's warnings today, Alistair Begg teaches that while only God can pronounce judgment, He is also a merciful God who forgives those who trust in Jesus.

In verses 5–7 of his epistle, Jude issues a stern warning about disregarding God's established boundaries. Men, women, and even angels throughout Scripture learned that rebellion against God—whether through unbelief, disobedience, or immorality—was met with His necessary and righteous judgment. How, then, do we learn from such examples and keep ourselves in the love of God? In this message, Alistair Begg encourages believers to heed the Bible's warnings and trust in God's promises, the very means He has chosen to bring us safely to glory.

The relativism of our age would have us think that we can believe whatever we want and do whatever feels good. In contrast, Jude, writing nearly twenty centuries ago, appealed to believers to contend for the faith and to beware of those who were distorting the Gospel by exchanging its freedom for license. Alistair Begg reminds us that Jude's appeal, while unpopular, is just as critical today. Genuine Christians must stand firm for "the faith," neither adding to it nor subtracting from it and trusting that true freedom is found in Christ alone.

The book of Jude is a brief letter written by one of Jesus' half brothers to urge the early church to keep the faith and to warn them about false teachers. But before broaching those subjects, Jude begins by establishing several truths that are vital for God's people everywhere to understand. Alistair Begg introduces a study in Jude by looking at these opening verses, which remind us that as believers, we are called, beloved, and kept by God and recipients of His unending mercy, peace, and love.

In the closing verses of Psalm 139, David zealously prayed for the destruction of the wicked—then submitted himself to divine scrutiny as well. Like David, Christians should hate evil and long for its eradication, explains Alistair Begg. Vengeance, however, isn't our responsibility. God alone judges righteously. Only when we understand His holiness and purity will we realize how lost and sinful we truly are, trust Jesus, and be saved by grace from God's wrath.

Where were we before we were born, and where will we go after we die? In Psalm 139, David provides the answer to these questions, proclaiming that we are the result of God's creative handiwork, "fearfully and wonderfully made." Not only this, but God has also designed us with purpose and has determined our days. Noting David's response to these truths, Alistair Begg exhorts us to remember that the almighty God of design and determination is worthy of our praise, gratitude, and trust.

Can we hide from God-- The Bible contains many examples of people trying to do just that. In Psalm 139, however, David ponders this question and rightly understands that since God is everywhere, there is no place we can flee from His presence, nor should we wish to. Alistair Begg reminds us that although by nature each one of us hides from God, the Lord still lovingly seeks us, guides us with His hand, and comforts us with the remarkable truth that because of Christ, He is Immanuel, -God with us--everywhere-
