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.”

The next sermon in our summer series is by John MacArthur from Shepherd's Conference 2018 at Grace Community Church. In this message, he addresses the need to not only preach the gospel, but to also guard it with courage and boldness in a world full of false doctrines that try to add works to salvation. True salvation is only by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

The next sermon in our summer series is by Paul Washer from the 2021 Fellowship Conference in Texas. In this message, Paul Washer reminds us that pastors are people too and will often study and preach on the very issues they are wrestling through in their own souls. No matter how perfect someone looks on the outside, we all sin and need to repent. In addition to addressing functional perfectionism, Washer also turns to Scripture to provide four keys to spiritual growth.

The next sermon in our summer series is by H.B. Charles on the sufficiency of Scripture from Shepherd's Conference 2022 at Grace Community Church. Many Christians would rightly say they believe the Bible is the Word of God and is not a book full of errors, but do we live like it’s “enough” and trust it as “enough” for life, decisions, and living out God’s will for our lives?

The second sermon in our five-week summer series is by Voddie Baucham when he spoke at the Founder's Conference in 2023. In this message, he delivers truth that is sorely needed in today’s world and covers the topics of manhood, womanhood, and God’s glorious design. Every Christian — especially parents, pastors, and educators — should be able to clearly articulate a biblical view of manhood and womanhood and this sermon will definitely equip you for that! 

We are grateful to our friends at Founders Ministries for allowing us to post the audio from this sermon.

In this first sermon of our summer series, Austin Duncan helps us see how the right truth can still be delivered the wrong way, and at the wrong time! With wisdom from the book of Job, we’ll learn lessons about counseling others with discernment, gentleness, and truth. Biblical counseling is an important part of Christian discipleship, but we need to make sure we don’t pull a “Zophar” (Job 11). 

In this special episode, Costi Hinn had the opportunity to connect with Jeremiah and Andrew from Cultish and Mike Winger to provide an insider's look into the "ministry" of Benny Hinn as well as expose the false doctrine of the Word of Faith movement. 

We want to thank Cultish for letting us share the content from this interview.

In this final episode of the series on prayer, Costi Hinn not only unpacks the sovereignty of God over the outcomes of prayer, but also provides a deeper look into eight examples in Scripture where God either did not answer prayers or chose not to hear prayers. This episode will point you back to the grace of God and remind you that repentance and humility are vital to a thriving prayer life. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn digs into James 4:1-5 and provides 5 questions for assessing your prayer motives. Not only do we need to be careful of judging the motives of others, we also need to be most diligent in assessing our own motives for prayer.
