For the Gospel Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week on the For The Gospel podcast we're starting a new series on the subject of sexual sin, as it's a battle we all face in the Christian life. We're kicking off this series by defining sexual sin and outlining key truths about it. Costi will then be doing a deep dive in the upcoming weeks to explore the tools that God's Word provides to us to effectively fight against this type of sin.

The final sermon in our summer series is one for every pastor and church member to remember that affection for Jesus and from Jesus ought to permeate our thinking and motivate our Christian living. Sinclair Ferguson goes for the heart in this message from Basics 2024 at Parkside Church titled, “Affection.”

In this episode, Costi Hinn kicks off a 3-week series to help tune up your prayer life and renew your mind. Using the model of Jesus and His prayer life, this episode will help you build a biblical prayer life. 

Every year we hear of numerous prophecies by people who call themselves "prophets" or "prophetesses," yet these prophetic words do not come true. While the Bible has clear definitions for true and false prophets, many charismatics argue that there is such a thing as "fallible prophecy" in which supposed words from the Lord were mistaken by the prophet. What should we make of this? In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down the true gift of prophecy and the office of prophet, while laying out 5 dangers with fallible prophecy from Dr. Nathan Busenitz. 

We are undoubtedly in the middle of a culture war and believers must stand boldly for the truth of God's Word. yet in the midst of our fight against evil, we must maintain a Christ-like attitude. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks one of the most important spiritual qualities we should possess when fighting the good fight. Meekness is not throwing cold water on the war effort. Meekness is not standing by while evil runs wild and free. Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is strength under control, it is Christ-like, and it is an essential quality for men and women who stand for the gospel.

In this episode, Costi Hinn answers key listener questions about the filling of the Holy Spirit as a continuation of the previous episode. Due to a lack of clear teaching on this particular subject, many people confuse the "baptism of the Spirit" with "filling of the Spirit," or we aren't sure if we are allowed to pray for the Spirit to fill us, or we wonder about Paul's command to "be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18) since the Bible also teaches that the Holy Spirit already indwells all believers (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). All of these questions and more are covered in this episode on the Spirit's work in our lives. 

People want to hear from God because they know His wisdom and will are perfect. But how can we? Does He only speak through reading the Bible? What does it mean to be "led by the Spirit?" What about thoughts, impressions, feelings, or even the grand claims of people who say that the Holy Spirit speaks audibly to them all the time? In this episode, Costi Hinn addresses these questions and more, breaking down what the Scriptures teach and how every believer can confidently hear from God and be led by the Spirit. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the filling of the Holy Spirit, how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and how the filling of the Spirit differs from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is a lot of confusing teaching on this topic so Costi sticks to Scripture and helps you understand how you can be filled with the Spirit and glorify God with your life. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn offers 8 questions (from Ethics for a Brave New World by Feinberg & Feinberg) that can help every Christian discern how to make decisions with regard to Christian liberty. Should you drink? Can you wear that outfit? Is it wrong to get a tattoo? Should you buy this, or sell that? Should you move to a nicer home? Is it a sin to take a better job in a better state? Do you have to homeschool to be a faithful parent? These are all big questions that Christians wrestle with. This episode will help you filter your opinions and decisions through God's word and use your Christian liberty wisely! 

In this episode, Costi Hinn announces the newest addition to the For the Gospel family.
