The birth of Jesus is more than a seasonal tradition, it is the story of God drawing near to save sinners. In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through the doctrine of the Incarnation and why it changes everything.

December 7, 2025 The Christian life is about the praise of the Savior, and a love for God’s people that flows out of being accepted by Christ. Scripture: Romans 15:4-13

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan, we discuss Artcile XXVI of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith.

Christmas is often wrapped in traditions that aren't rooted in Scripture. In this episode, Costi Hinn addresses four common misconceptions and explains what the Bible actually reveals about the birth of Christ.

What if the power you've seen in overseas crusades could break open your city this month? We gather with pastors and missionaries who have led tens of thousands into life-changing encounters and unpack the simple, transferable patterns that turn hunger into harvest. From stadiums in Bangladesh to a high school football field in Florida, the stories point to the same truth: when you train people to pray with authority, choose visible ground, and tell the full gospel plainly, doors open—sometimes even through the marquee of a Baptist church along the interstate.Taylor Fish recounts how apostolic mentoring rewired his approach to miracles—moving from pleading to commanding, the way Jesus did. That shift unlocked a flood of healings and fresh confidence he now carries onto college campuses and city streets. David Myers shares how five canceled trips during lockdown sparked a bold pivot at home: renting local venues, filling them with seekers, and partnering with a Baptist pastor for a Jesus Tent that led to baptisms and Spirit outpourings night after night. Missionary James Corbin adds the long view from Bangladesh: crusades don't just count conversions; they lift the faith of an entire national church and remind weary leaders they are not alone.We don't sidestep the chaos of the moment. Fear visits everyone, even bold evangelists. The answer isn't retreat; it's prayer, proclamation, and partnership. Speak faith out loud. Knock on doors you assume are closed. Refuse to flinch when the world shakes. If you're ready to turn conviction into action—locally, personally, and globally—this conversation will give you a clear path: train, gather, declare, and watch God move.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find these tools for city-shaking, Spirit-led evangelism.

Part 24 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

Walking In Step With The Holy Spirit | Becoming WHOLE (Week 4)In this final week of our Becoming WHOLE series, Pastor J.C. explores what it means to love and follow Jesus with our spirit—the deepest part of who we are. If the Mind, Body, and Soul shape how we think, live, and feel, then our Spirit is where we commune with God Himself. And Scripture is clear: we are called to walk in step with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25).The Holy Spirit doesn't fill us simply to make us feel something—He fills us to transform us and empower us to bring hope, freedom, and healing to the world around us (Isaiah 61:1).If you've ever wondered how to partner with God, hear His voice, or grow closer to Him—this sermon will guide you into a deeper, more intimate walk with the Holy Spirit.Series: Becoming WHOLEWeek 1 — The Mind: https://youtu.be/qglba8K_gR8Week 2 — The Body: https://youtu.be/8tZcrMnRp68Week 3 — The Soul: https://youtu.be/fLwTLJV_cFEWeek 4 — The Spirit (Walking in Step With the Spirit)If this message encourages you, be sure to subscribe, share, and let us know how we can be praying for you.#BecomingWHOLE #RiverviewChristian #WorshipWithYourBody #WholeLifeWorship #Jesus #ChristianLiving #SpiritualFormation #FaithAndHealthThis week's message is from our Creative Pastor, J.C.

Paul told the Galatians that they were not to lose heart in doing good. Yet this often happens. We become exhausted as we go through life serving the Lord. As Christians, we need to deal with this feeling appropriately and not allow ourselves to “lose heart.”

In this compelling episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on the moral foundations that shaped Western culture and how their removal has led to widespread societal decay. Drawing from Isaiah 11 and personal experiences growing up in post-war Britain, Dr. Patrick explores the crucial role of the fear of the Lord in forming character, integrity, and cultural stability. // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literate Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick

Greg Morse | Caleb wonders why he isn't enjoying the Christian life. He had more happiness in the world. What does he do now?

The Christian Life is the crucified life... it's a life lived by faith, filled with Christ. And yet, what does this mean? Today, we're continuing our study in the Book of Galatians and now unpacking Paul's important teaching of what it means to be crucified with Christ, specifically how that related to his old life as a Jewish Pharisee. As we go through this passage, we'll see that his instruction is every bit as relevant to us today, as when he first wrote it. Join us! Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Demons are often misunderstood, either sensationalized or dismissed as superstition. In this episode, Costi Hinn explains what Scripture actually says about who demons are, what they can and cannot do, and why believers can stand firm without fear.

What are the "must do's of the Christian life" according to Philippians 3? Join us Sunday as we examine what Paul emphasizes to the church in that chapter of Philippians.

In this compelling sermon, Chris Montgomery explores the themes of faith, endurance, and the teachings of Jesus from Luke chapter 21. Addressing the challenges faced by early Christians and drawing parallels to today's world, Montgomery emphasizes the importance of steadfastness in faith amidst trials and persecution. He encourages believers to remain faithful to God's word and to be prepared to bear witness to the power of Jesus' name. The sermon is both a historical reflection and a call to spiritual perseverance, inviting the congregation to cultivate a spirit of endurance.

Part 23 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

Today we will be studying in the book of Matthew (SUNDAY 11/16/25) Today's sermon will be looking at Matthew 07:07-12 "How Can We Live the Christian Life?"

Redefined Soul | Becoming WHOLE (Week 3)What does it truly mean to love and follow Jesus with your soul? In Week 3 of our series Becoming WHOLE, we explore how the soul—our emotional life, desires, and motivations—is shaped, surrendered, and redefined through Christ.In this message, “Redefined Soul,” we look at how offering ourselves fully to God transforms us from the inside out. Through passages like Romans 12:1, Galatians 2:20, and Proverbs 4:23, we discover how Jesus renews our inner life so that our emotions, desires, and affections line up with His purpose.Whether you're new to faith, rebuilding your spiritual life, or simply wanting to go deeper, this message will help you understand what it means to let Christ reshape the very core of who you are.Scriptures:

Some days the weight of the world feels unbearable. In our daily prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that news headlines, personal stories, or even a single conversation can open our eyes to suffering so deep that it feels paralyzing. For Sophia Bricker, reading a student’s research paper on women in refugee camps brought her face-to-face with heartbreaking realities—women fleeing violence, grieving losses, and enduring ongoing trauma. She sat stunned, wondering how the world could stay so still when so much was broken. Scripture reminds us that believers have felt this kind of anguish before. Jeremiah—the “weeping prophet”—saw devastation firsthand as Jerusalem fell in ruins. Lamentations is filled with his raw grief, yet even in the midst of sorrow, he anchored his soul in hope. He remembered God’s steadfast love and compassion, the only reason His people were not consumed. That same hope is ours today. While the suffering around us may feel overwhelming, God sees it all. He grieves with us. And He has already provided the ultimate answer to the world’s pain—Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death, and who will one day wipe away every tear. Even when we don’t know how to help or what to do, we can pray. We can lament. And we can ask God to show us where He is already at work so we can participate in bringing His love, justice, and compassion into dark places. Today's Bible Reading:“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail” (Lamentations 3:22, NIV). Takeaway Truths God sees every injustice and every sorrow—nothing is hidden from Him. Lament is a biblical response to suffering and a pathway to deeper hope. Christ’s victory assures us that suffering will not have the final word. Let’s Pray Great God of all, You see all the brokenness in the world and know better than I do the evil that exists in the hearts of humankind. At times, I am overwhelmed by the stories of suffering I encounter. There is so much sorrow—people who go hungry, children without parents, families torn apart by war and violence, individuals struggling in poverty and slavery, and beloved daughters that You created who are exploited and assaulted. My heart breaks as I think of their lives and the hopelessness that marks their days. Lord, I know Your heart breaks for them too, and so I am asking You to be with them. Show them Your love and grace, providing comfort in their suffering. Please also guide me on how I can help, even in my small, limited role in the world. May I be a part of the work You are already doing to bring good news to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In an era where Google searches are declining and people are increasingly turning to AI for life's biggest questions—including matters of faith—two Nashville pastors are refusing to let secular ideology win by default. Erik Reid and Ryan "Coat" Coatney join the podcast to discuss why they've invested in building Dominion AI, a Christian worldview-informed alternative to mainstream AI tools, and why Christians can't afford to sit this revolution out. The conversation tackles the real tension many believers face: AI is becoming the most influential voice in every person's life, yet most Christians are either completely unaware of its impact or tempted to reject it entirely. Erik and Coat dive deep into how AI is already shaping the way people think about truth, morality, and meaning—often without anyone realizing the secular assumptions baked into every response. They address pressing questions from the Christian community with refreshing honesty: Can AI replace pastors and artists? How can church leaders use these tools responsibly without compromising their calling? What about the danger of isolation as people build "personal cathedrals" with AI instead of engaging in real community? And yes, they even tackle whether AI could be connected to the mark of the beast. Whether you're a parent worried about your kids growing up in an AI-saturated world, a pastor trying to navigate these tools faithfully, or simply someone who wants to understand what's really at stake when we let machines answer our biggest questions, this episode challenges you to think critically about the worldview behind the technology we're all about to depend on.   Links From The Show: Dominion AI: https://dominion.chat/ CrossFormed Kids: https://www.crossformedkids.com/ The Bully Pulpit Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RznYY7HuiqGkazvhnvcSe Imago Classical Academy: https://www.imagoclassicalacademy.com/ Journey Church Nashville: https://www.tjclive.com/

In this episode, Costi Hinn explores the mystery and majesty of angels as described in Scripture. Their reverent service and unceasing worship remind us that every corner of creation moves under God's perfect will. 

What if the one thing missing isn't another strategy but the power to live it? Amy sits with international evangelist Charles Robinet for a raw, joy-filled conversation about surrender, the Holy Spirit, and what happens when ordinary people say yes. Charles shares how, at fourteen, a minister counted down from ten and heaven interrupted—launching a journey that would take him from Chicago streets to nearly a hundred nations. No degrees, no pedigree, just obedience and a growing conviction: the arm of the flesh can't accomplish what only the Spirit can.We unpack how Jesus' command to wait for power still reshapes ministry today, and why so many leaders feel stuck when they substitute polish for presence. Amy tells the moving story of her son hearing the Spirit “in his stomach,” echoing the promise of rivers of living water. Charles points to Joel 2 as a lens for our moment: sons and daughters prophesy, dreams and visions abound, and the outpouring spills across denominations and borders. From Catholics to Baptists, Muslims to atheists, the Holy Ghost is filling hungry hearts. The kingdom is breaching our constructs.The episode crescendos with vivid testimonies from Brazil: a historic day of Pentecost with 3,000 receiving the Holy Ghost, followed by a stadium where 12,000 were filled in one service and 3,000 more watching on TV. A hesitant young woman named Amanda was equipped to speak the word of faith and watched a rushing wind moment sweep the arena. Even a coven leader who came to curse the meeting was filled and baptized in Jesus' name on live TV, rising from the water free and radiant. The throughline is mentoring and multiplication—raising voices, releasing gifts, and letting God turn addition into exponential harvest.Hungry to be filled or feeling called but unqualified? Start with repentance, open your hands, and ask. The Spirit gives revelation, opens doors no man can shut, and turns ordinary yeses into global impact.

Bob - MO (0:44)Is it correct to say that we no longer need to ask for forgiveness? Andrew - Langley, BC (3:09)I know the Bible says we are to give, but are we still supposed to tithe, and is this God's Law? Wade - MI (8:45)When does the judgment happen, immediately after you die, or at the end of time? Orville - OK (15:14)Is Matthew 27:51-53 a fulfillment of Ezekiel 37? Ken - Hamilton, MO (19:10)

In this week's episode of the For the Gospel Podcast, Costi Hinn wraps up his series on heaven and the afterlife by answering your most-asked questions about eternity. From time and memory in heaven to justice, pets, and eternal joy, he unpacks what the Bible actually reveals about life after death—and how it gives believers hope today.Main topics discussed: Do people in heaven know what happens on earth? Remembering the past without pain Should Christians be organ donors? Will there be pets in heaven? Recognizing loved ones in eternity

It’s easy to express gratitude when life feels full and blessings are obvious. But what about when our kindness is rejected or our good intentions are met with anger? In today’s prayer and devotion, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering, reminds us that gratitude is not dependent on others’ responses — it’s rooted in our relationship with God. After an act of compassion was met with hostility, Rachael wrestled with disappointment and confusion. Yet this moment mirrors a deeper truth seen in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11–19). Only one returned to thank Him — and though all received healing, only the grateful one experienced the fullness of spiritual restoration. God invites us to live with hearts of thankfulness, not for what we receive in return from others, but because of who He is and all He has done for us. Gratitude aligns our hearts with God’s goodness, reminding us that every act of kindness is ultimately an act of worship. Today's Bible Reading:“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” – Colossians 3:16–17
