Paul tells us in Ephesians 4 that the ascended Christ gave gifts to establish and build up His church. In this study, we look closely at one of those gifts: the pastor who leads and cares for his flock.

Alistair concludes the 2013 Basics Conference focusing on the final section of Jude's letter. Alistair commends to the pastor Jude's final exhortations to remember, keep oneself, be merciful to those who doubt, and do all for God's glory. Alistair fittingly exhorts pastors to not only contend for the faith, but to remind us that our duty is to remind our people not of things which they have never known, but of things which we should never forget!

Alistair Begg kicks off the 2013 Basics Conference from the small, but powerful book of Jude. Countering conventional notions that the book of Jude is primarily a book for contentious preaching, Alistair takes us into the heart and mind of the brother of Jesus, Jude who gives not a letter of condemnation, but consternation. Hanging his message on Jude's warm greeting, necessary appeal and chilling thought, Alistair brings to the forefront the pastor's necessity to present and contend for a true gospel.

Each person is constantly interpreting their world through a grid, through a specific lens. Kevin DeYoung contrasts viewing life through the lens of fairness contra the glasses of grace. Taking us to the Parable of the Vineyard Laborers in Matthew 20, Kevin takes the three questions at the end of Jesus' famous parable to help expose how often the pastor's heart can give into viewing life through the lens of fairness rather than the glasses of grace.

type Sermon

Continuing our focus on the basics, Thabiti Anyabwile explains the nature of the pastor's spiritual warfare from 1 Timothy 4. What is at stake in our spiritual warfare battle is that some will abandon the faith and fall into apostasy. Systematically moving through a series of thought provoking questions, Thabiti reminds the pastor that the cosmic struggle between God and Satan isn't through the sensational and dramatic, but is fought on the battlefield of truth as it is revealed in God's Word.

scripture 1 Timothy 2:1-7

A survey of pastors recently revealed that a scant 16% were satisfied with their prayer life. Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile takes us to Paul's first letter to Timothy to show us the basic, yet oft ignored Christian discipline of prayer. With a pastor's heart, Thabiti uses 1 Timothy 2 to discuss what we are to pray, why we pray, and how we are called to pray. For all pastors, the gentle reminder that before we talk to men about God, we should be talking to God about men is a basic which we can never tire of hearing.

scripture Deuteronomy 30:11-14
topic Inerrancy/Inspiration of the Bible
type Sermon
id GS1077

Can we really know what the Bible means? In recent times, the clarity of Scripture has come to be questioned. Pastor Kevin DeYoung interacts with the modern objections to the classic doctrine of the perspicuity of Scripture, arguing from both the Old and New Testaments that God considers His word to be understandable. With keen insight, Kevin draws out the implications of the debate, noting that nothing less that our views of language, freedom, and God are at stake.
