What the Bible tells us about how and why God created women isn’t always in line with contemporary views. So what exactly does Scripture say about God’s role for women, and how does that translate to life today? Women and God: Hard Questions, Beautiful Truth surveys Scripture to address tough questions about women in today’s postmodern culture, helping us understand the purpose for which women were truly created.

“How does the Bible apply to my life?” It’s a question often asked when readers don’t see the connection between God’s Word and God’s world. Alistair Begg addresses this question head-on through turning our attention to the words of the psalmist. By focusing on two simple yet revolutionary truths—the reality of God and the security of the believer—listeners are encouraged to stand firm on God’s promises to His people found in His true, relevant, and unshakable Word.
As Jesus traveled to Jerusalem for the last time before His crucifixion, many thought He would be crowned as a king and immediately begin ruling over Israel (Luke 19:11). Jesus addressed this assumption with a parable, which is recorded in Luke 19:12–27. In Jesus’ story, a nobleman leaves his servants at home as he travels to receive a kingdom, giving each of them money to invest in his absence. His servants and citizens respond to these circumstances in different ways—some in rebellion, some in disobedience, and some in faithfulness.

“To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6

You can probably think of someone who seems like just the sort of person God would use—someone, say, with fantastic gifts and an attractive personality. Perhaps you’ve wished you were like that person or that you had this gift or that quality so you could be more useful for Christ. Yet while it’s good to want to grow, we must remember: we often don’t measure usefulness the way God does.

“Let us rejoice in the Lord always; let us show the world that we are a happy and a blessed people.” — C.H. Spurgeon
The rising of Christ from the dead is at the heart of the Christian message. If Jesus is not alive, our message is in vain and our lives are without hope. In a selection of sermons, Alistair Begg explains the importance of the resurrection of Christ and that it demands a response from all.
The Gospel writers introduce us to several followers of Jesus who turned out to be scoundrels and scoundrels transformed to be saints. In her book Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus, author Nancy Guthrie takes a close-up look at some of these individuals, including Caiaphas and Zacchaeus, and also several groups of people, like the Pharisees and Jesus’ own family, so that we can better understand their motives, hopes, fears, flaws, successes, and failures.
It’s hard to fathom Jesus Christ’s final, agonizing hours upon a Roman cross. The floggings, the torture, and the humiliation He had endured were reserved for the worst of criminals. It is no wonder, then, that with His last breath, Jesus cried out in a loud voice “Tetélestai!”—“It is finished” (John 19:30).
The historicity of Jesus’ death by crucifixion is widely accepted. Jesus’ resurrection, on the other hand, is still met with doubt. Everyone dies, after all, but very few people in history, even as the Bible records it, have experienced someone coming back from the dead. So from the beginning, the resurrection, and particularly its implications, has proven a stumbling block for many.
