The Style of Our Worship (w/ Sovereign Grace Music)
Should a church turn the lights down, unleash the fog machine, and laser light the stage to help people have a more engaging worship experience? Does it matter if a worship service is presented in a trendy way? If creativity is a gift from God, should we limit how much we innovate when it comes to music and stylistic elements in a service? Does the Bible have principles we can use to govern the style of our worship services? These are important questions! In the third episode of our worship series with Sovereign Grace Music, we gain valuable wisdom on the style of a worship service.
Theology In Our Music (w/ Sovereign Grace Music)
It was John Piper who once said, "A congregation learns its theology by the songs they sing, not just by the preaching they hear.” Doctrine matters in our music, and it’s vital that churches and leaders think through more than just the sound of music, and ensure that the content of the music is biblically accurate. In this episode, Sovereign Grace Music leaders Bob Kauflin, Devon Kauflin, and David Zimmer highlight that the road to heresy in the worship music industry is often paved with good intentions.
The Expression of Our Worship (w/ Sovereign Grace Music)
Expression in worship can often be relegated to the extremes of “emotionalism” or “stoicism.” Some argue that raising our hands in a worship service is nothing more than charismatic disorder, while others insist that if you don’t cry or shout during worship you’ve not entered the holy of holies. In part 1 of this series on worship, Bob Kauflin, Devon Kauflin, and David Zimmer of Sovereign Grace Music sit down with Costi Hinn to think biblical about how we express ourselves in worship so that we avoid extremes and joyfully worship God in spirit and truth.
Can Teens Handle Deep Doctrine?
It's all too common for people to assume teenagers can't handle doctrine. In this video, Costi Hinn addresses this false premise and explains that teens, and even kids, are more than capable of handling doctrine.

The Four Soils

In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks the parable of “The Rich Fool” and gives us truths to apply from Jesus’ warnings about trusting in riches.

How to Preserve the Unity of the Spirit
Unity is hard to come by in the body of Christ, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At the same time, we should never sacrifice truth in the name of superficial unity. When it comes to the work of the Holy Spirit in the true body of Christ, we may differ on some secondary doctrinal matters, but if we share a common Lord and have been baptized into the same body, we can experience unity in the midst of some differences. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks 4 principles that can help us preserve the unity that the Holy Spirit provides.
Imprisoned For the Gospel w/ Tim Stephens
Like many pastors and churches, when COVID-19 hit the news and shut down orders spread across the globe, Tim Stephens and Fairview Baptist Church stopped holding services and assessed the situation. Not knowing what they were dealing with, they took every step necessary to use wisdom and prudence in their decision-making. But as it became clear that this virus was not all that the government made it out to be, Tim’s convictions stirred to re-open the church and begin preaching and holding worship services. His decision to re-open had a wide ripple effect that ultimately led to his imprisonment. As a husband, and a father to 8 children, Tim and Raquel Stephens had so much to lose. As fines piled up and public pressure mounted, Tim’s convictions remained anchored. To end the whole ordeal all he had to do was sign an agreement stating that he would not go back and re-open the church. He refused. This interview is the entire story in his own words.
Prostituting the Pulpit
Today, many Evangelical churches resort to flashy gimmicks and games to attract a crowd. However, as the Bible clearly states, the pulpit is meant to preach Christ and Him crucified. The faithful church must not settle for anything less than this crucial message. In this video, Tony Wood expounds.
Make the Pulpit Reverent Again!
In our second installment of “Filtered — with Costi Hinn:”
Reverence is out the window in our culture – our church culture – and influence is in. However you act, preach, or speak doesn't matter as long as it gets results and can be presented in some qazi-spiritual way.
Since when has the church's primary calling been to conform to this world in order to win people to Christ? Never. We call the culture to conform to Christ instead.
