“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,” the Bible tells us. Only by opening the pages of Scripture and allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through its words can we be certain that we stand on solid ground. With that aim in mind, Encore 2018 gathers a selection of listener favorites from the past year, presenting an essential sampling of clear, relevant Bible teaching grounded in the authority of God’s Word. Drawing on both the Old and New Testaments, Alistair Begg guides us through the Bible’s counsel on wisdom, love, suffering, providence, and right living, as well as on everyday matters such as keeping the Sabbath, God’s design for men and women, and the raising of godly children. As we listen, we are reminded of the centrality of the cross of Christ—our surest hope in this life and in the next.

Encore 2019

The Bible is an ancient book, but its central message—the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died to save sinners—remains as timely and relevant today as ever. In this collection of listener favorites from the past year, Alistair Begg demonstrates how Scripture’s every page proclaims again and again the transforming power of the Gospel in the lives of those who receive it. Christ’s followers may not be exempt from disappointments or sadness, may struggle with sin, and may even be tempted to despair. As these messages explain, though, as we repent of self-righteousness and turn to God daily, He promises to fill us with a life-giving love for His Word, His people, and above all, His glory.

Encore 2020

When teaching His disciples in Luke 21:33, Jesus explained to them, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” As years turn and seasons change, the compass of the Gospel continues to point us unerringly toward Christ as the great revelation of God’s love and truth. In this collection of listener favorites from the previous year, Alistair Begg once again proclaims the truth of Scripture, which reveals to us the great Son of God, who conquered sin and death for our good and His glory. Whether in times of suffering, moments of triumph, or simply the ordinary cycles of our daily lives, God’s Word calls us to put our faith in Him alone, today and forever.
