Hear the Word of God

This week, the blog is sponsored by The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, which invites you to discover the Christ-centered, Spirit-filled preaching of the Reverend Eric Alexander.

Listen to Christ-centered, spirit-filled preaching from the Reverend Eric Alexander. Subscribe to the Hear the Word of God podcast, part of the Alliance Podcast Network.

For more than 50 years, Eric Alexander faithfully served as an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland, including many years as senior pastor of the historic St. George’s-Tron Church in the heart of Glasgow. His ministry extended far beyond Scotland, as he became a beloved speaker at the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, the Keswick Convention, and the Urbana Conference of InterVarsity Fellowship.

Widely regarded as one of the finest Bible expositors of the late 20th century, Eric Alexander’s influence continues to shape generations of pastors and teachers. Leaders such as Sinclair Ferguson, Ian Hamilton, and Alistair Begg have all benefited from his faithful, Christ-centered ministry.

As Ian Hamilton reflects:
Erics ministry was an overflow of his life, an extension of who he was. For me, he epitomised everything that a gospel preacher should be.”

Rev. Alexander’s preaching is marked by clarity, depth, and a profound reverence for Scripture. With a masterful command of language, he unfolds God’s Word with precision and warmth—engaging the mind, stirring the heart, and calling listeners to worship, serve, and love the Triune God more deeply. His sermons do not merely inform; they transform, applying biblical truth to every area of life for the glory of God.

Now, you can hear this timeless preaching for yourself.

    You Can Conform to Christ Even if You Don’t Conform to Me

    One of the aspects of the Christian faith that I find particularly perplexing is the freedom God gives his people to obey him in different or even opposite ways, so that one person’s obedience is another person’s disobedience. Even as two people take the same action, one might be obeying him and the other disobeying…
