Luke’s gospel is the longest book in the New Testament. When you consider it along with the other book that he wrote, namely the Acts of the Apostles, Luke is responsible for over a quarter of New Testament material. Luke was one of Paul’s most significant companions and several things about him help us understand why God laid his hand upon this man. He was a Gentile, the only Gentile writer in the whole of the New Testament. He was also a doctor and an educated man. He was an historian. In fact, he was more of a historian than ... details

This is one exciting letter. This is one relevant letter. This is a study that I just can't wait to start. And I hope that God will create a similar expectancy in your own heart and mind."-Alistair Begg Paul had been part of this church in Corinth when it was established, but when he comes to write to it in 1 Corinthians, he's writing to a church that has wandered from its established foundations. All kinds of teaching and doctrine had been imbibed by people who should have known better. Many of those in Corinth were not as interested in ... details

Gifted as a student, pastor, teacher, poet, hymn-writer, and artist, Robert Murray McCheyne died at the age of twenty-nine--but the record of this life and ministry has had a remarkable impact upon the Christian church worldwide. What is most outstanding, and probably the principal reason why his influence continues, is what can only be described as his personal holiness. Those he stayed with paid tribute to the influence of peace and a calm that remained even when he left; his very presence in the pulpit had a deep effect upon many in the congregation. details

In Volume Three of Firm Foundations, Alistair Begg examines chapters seven, eight and nine of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. Paul's desire for these people is that they might be presented mature in Christ Jesus and to that end he addresses a number of very practical elements of faith: Christian contentment; what it means to have freedom in Christ; what part love plays in that freedom; God's plan for marriage; the rights and responsibilities of a Christian; how we can strive to "become all things to all men," and finally how, as Christians living at the beginning of the ... details

It has been said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, and the 10th and 11th chapters of 1 Corinthians are ripe with examples and warnings to the Christian who will heed them. How far does Christian liberty extend? Is there a guideline for men and women in their relationship to one another and towards God? How may we correctly observe the Lord's Supper? These issues are as relevant to day as they were in the early church. In general, when it came to spiritual things, the church in Corinth was a church that was fascinated ... details

I don't want you to be ignorant. . . With these opening words, the Apostle Paul embarks upon the sensitive journey of encouraging the Corinthian church to show wisdom and discernment in the gifts and abilities of its members. As we'll learn, this is primary in the health of the local church, for ignorance will breed those who are susceptible to wrong teaching. Wrong teaching leads to wrong living, and wrong living ultimately generates ineffectiveness in the body of Christ. Chapter 12 of 1 Corinthians is concerned with the volatile issue of spiritual gifts. What are they? How are they ... details

The notion that there is objective, verifiable, fixed, universal, and defined truth is obsolete in our culture today. Contemporary philosophical thought sets itself in opposition to that which is regarded as definitive and certain, and the very idea of anything “absolute” is under attack. This opposition to truth is not new, however. In every generation when the truth of Jesus Christ is declared and proclaimed, the Evil One works to undermine it and sow seeds of confusion. From the first century, to our world today, and with succeeding generations will come deceivers who try to turn true believers away from ... details

The 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians may be one of the most beloved and most widely recognized portions of Scripture, but it also may be one of the most misapplied. When it is taken in isolation, this chapter becomes vulnerable to all kinds of interpretations, many of which are incomplete or misleading. In the first part of this volume of Firm Foundation, Alistair Begg connects Paul's description of love to the immediate concern that the apostle had for the church in Corinth. By doing so, he gives us a richer and more faithful understanding of what Christian love should be ... details
