The Danger of Self Reliance (Archived) 

Every time I hear a sermon by Alistair it makes me feel ashamed of the watered down messages I hear being preached in most churches around even in the church I attend. Listening to such men reminds me of the faithfulness of God to raise a people after His own heart to preach such a beautiful word.

Excellent message. I'm so glad Peter failed! Because of his failure I know that there is hope for me. Even though I have been 40+ years in Christ I know what a weak and miserable sinner I am and need the keeping strong right hand of God to hold me safe in Christ.

When people don't want to hear the truth, they will walk out! They did it with JESUS to! Thanks for your message from GOD! I serve the Lord now for 46 years! I am 73 years old, and I saw many people walk out and God deals with them on His time! God bless you pastor Begg

Exactly where my heart lay ,desolate and needy .. Jesus, fairhful Christ, Living Water for my soul

This isn't the worst sermon ever. It is exactly what a stumbling saint like me needed. Those who walked out missed out.

I do love the way he teaches, God bless him.

What a wonderful preaching and be blessed man of God.

Was there ever a Friend like this!? As usual, Begg begs us to bow, worship, serve and praise the One who died so we would no longer live for ourselves.

The sermon has made me think that the sanctification process has been exhausting for me because I dwell on my failures. I need to take responsibility for my failures and be thankful for how Christ has guided me through them and used them to make me desire God's Kingdom more.

This is the best sermon I have ever heard.

Just as He told you. Struck me to tears what Jesus has promised us sinners save by Grace. Hold me tightly my King.

Help Us Lord! In Jesus name Amen

How precious this teaching is to me, how timely. God is good. May He bless your ministry.

He brings you to the core of the scriptures. Makes it easy to understand.

This spoke to me this morning I thank God for men who preach the gospel

alistair begg fleshes out the scriptures so beautifully. he has brought the apostles to life for me over and over

I am grateful for Alistair Begg's Scottish fidelity to the Bible. (I formerly belonged to Struthers Memorial while living in Britain -- led by Scripturally faithful Scots).

May God bless us with the need to live and learn your word at every opportunity! We love you brother Begg.

Amen, thank you, Lord 🙏🧡 and Pastor Begg.

Just call me Peter! I praise God for His forgiveness, His grace & His mercy! Praise the Lord!

I was looking into presumptuous sin and this great message came to the forefront.

What a treasure!!!

My beloved brother, Thank you. God Bless you and your family.

Such a powerful sermon

Just found this guy. Awesome stuff.

I pray The Lord Jesus please send many, many, many good and pleasing prayers to people You listen to. Prayer that do great damage to the enemies plans. Amen

...in Your Son's Name, amen

The mere thought that many humans got together and wrote such an infallible story free of mistakes and that they all agreed with each other is unthinkable and irrational to say the least. Great sermon, God bless!

Bless you.

Amazing.

Thank you Jesus

A prediction really he had prophecy what would happen, and yet grace was for them for all had fallen away.

Amen.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 28:26 He who trusts in himself is a fool. "Our hearts are far more wicked than we ever know." Jeremiah 17:9 The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? Finally, God has given us His word to save us from ourselves. We have an influence. We can lead or influence according to the scriptures or according to our preoccupations. We should be gracious in our dealings with each other. J.C. Ryle said, "Let no man condemn Peter who has never broken a promise or has never been disloyal". We learn as the story unfolds that with God, failure is never final. Jesus did not reject Peter because of his failure. He loved him. He loved him to the end. He loved the disciples at the Passover despite foreknowledge of their coming denials/failures. What kind of friend is this? Was there ever love like this? Was there ever a friend like this?

i ahould move to Ohio or ali should move to SOCAL

Now do the one about what happens when one relies on people...

Hello

Wonder what Dave Ramsay would say about this sermon.

What did Paul mean in 2 Corinthians 6? Or Romans 6?

Was Jesus a Buddhist?
