The Kingdom of Heaven is Like…
In this final episode of the parables series, Costi Hinn unpacks two parables that Jesus uses to explain what the kingdom of heaven is like (Matthew 13:44-46).
The Vineyard Workers
In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks Matthew 20:1-13 and the parable of the vineyard workers. In this passage, Jesus highlights the nature of God’s sovereign grace and His prerogative to save who He wants to, when He wants to, and use them however He wants to. This episode will be a great encouragement to those who may feel like a second-class citizen in Christ because they are late bloomers when it comes to salvation.
The Four Soils
In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the parable of the four soils (also called “parable of the sower”) in which Jesus delivers clear and convicting truth about human hearts and how they receive the seed of the Word. Many people don’t understand this parable, but Christ makes it easy to interpret as He provides His own explanation in Matthew 13:18-23.
The Pharisee and the Publican
In this episode Costi Hinn explains the meaning of Jesus’ parable about two men who went up to the temple to pray one day. Themes in this episode include justification by faith, humility, repentance, self-righteousness, and salvation.
The Prodigal Son
In this episode, Costi Hinn continues his series through the parables by unpacking truths from Jesus' teaching on the prodigal son that speak to lost souls and religious hypocrites. Themes include sin, repentance, grace, self-righteousness, and forgiveness. Whether you're a long-time Christian or new to faith, the lessons from this parable will bring you back to the foundation of salvation and God's love for us.
The Ten Virgins
Some people are ready for Christ to return or call them home, and some are not. Some people are living for themselves but think they are saved, while others are humbly living their life for God’s glory. In the parable of “The Ten Virgins” Jesus arrests the eternal perspective of His audience by showcasing how once the Lord returns, it will be too late to be saved. Today is the day of salvation.
God’s Will in Salvation
In this episode, Costi Hinn continues the series on God’s will by unpacking God’s will in salvation. Using Ephesians 1:3-6 he showcases how God’s not absent from our salvation, nor is He out of the equation when it comes to who gets saved. God is sovereign and His will very much includes who is saved, when they are saved, and that they stay saved. The doctrine of “election” comes up in this episode as does the doctrine of “adoption.”

What is the Doctrine of Election?
Does God choose to save certain people or do people choose to be saved? What would you say to someone who says, "A loving God would never force His will upon people?"

In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the doctrine of election and presents truths from God's word that should leave every believer more humble, thankful, merciful, and hopeful because if God can save you, He can save anybody!
Jesse Randolph: If God is Sovereign, Why Evangelize?
In this episode Costi Hinn interviews Jesse Randolph on the sovereignty of God and evangelism. Many people think, "If God is sovereign in salvation, why evangelize anyone at all?" Some genuinely want to understand this theological subject, while others use God's sovereignty as an excuse for not trying to save people! This conversation takes a deeper dive into the beautiful reality that every believer can embrace: God is sovereign in salvation, and people are responsible for responding to God. Who will God save through your faithfulness?
