After teaching His disciples and preparing them for His departure, and with the prospect of His betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion before Him, Jesus concluded His final Passover meal with a prayer. This prayer, recorded in John 17 and known as the High Priestly Prayer, is the longest recorded prayer of Christ. In it, He prays for Himself, His disciples, and all believers throughout time, right down to today—and what He prays promises to be life-changing for all who listen in. In this series, Alistair Begg invites us onto the “holy ground” of John 17, where we are given an unparalleled, intimate look into the heart of our Savior. As the Son prayed to the Father, He left us both a stirring example of prayer itself and a profound testimony to His zeal for God’s glory and His love for His people. Dive into its depths, and discover the riches of what Jesus Himself has prayed on your behalf.

Recent sermons from Alistair Begg, pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio.
We are all familiar with the privilege of both extending and receiving invitations to events like birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduation parties, and retirements. But in Matthew 11, we encounter the greatest invitation of all to receive: Jesus’ offer to “all who labor and are heavy laden” to come to Him, take His yoke, learn from Him, and find true rest for their souls. In this short series, Alistair Begg examines Jesus’ fourfold invitation one verb at a time, considering its timeless, personal, universal appeal, the obligation it entails, and the blessings it promises. In a world marked by the restlessness of the human condition, can following after Christ really lead to a meaningful rest that lasts? Jesus’ own words provide the life-transforming answer.
