Simply the best in Word and Song

Since first hearing him speak in 2002 at the Evangelical Ministers Assembly (EMA) in London, and meeting him personally in Portrush at the Irish Baptist Pastors Conference in 2003, I have frequently visited the Truth for Life website to download the sermons of Alistair Begg. He is, in my opinion, up there among the best when it comes to faithfully expounding the Word, illustrating it appropriately and earthing it to our lives.

The second person(s) that have greatly blessed my life in recent years have been singer/song writers Keith and Kristyn Getty. I have never met them personally (even though they come from my home country N. Ireland) but their music has been used of God to give me many wonderful and intimate times with my Lord. Although most of Keith's best known hymns were co-written with Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn have recently started to release recordings together. Their hymns are now well established in many churches across Europe and North America, hymns such as, In Christ Alone, See What a Morning, Higher Throne and that hymn, which I can hardly sing without being overcome with emotion and deep, deep gratitude that my sins are forgiven, The Power of the Cross. This song, for me, is deserving of being up there with John Newton's Amazing Grace.
It was so wonderful to learn last year that Keith and Kristyn had accepted an invitation from Alistair Begg to join him and the staff at Parkside Church, Ohio. What a team! The best in Word and Song. However, it gets better! Parkside have just started to offer video streaming of their services on their church website, where the Gettys can often be seen leading the worship before the sermon! So if you want to be truly ministered too then go get a Bible, turn up the speakers and click here.
