Summer Sermon Series | Paul Washer: "What Your Soul Needs"
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 Unforgiving Servant
Jesus warns us to be careful of being unforgiving in light of how forgiven we are. In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks the parable of “The Unforgiving Servant” and reminds us why all Christians forgive, and clarifies what forgiveness is not.
Self-Control War Zones
In sports, teams gather scouting reports about opposing teams to go into a game with a strategy for facing their opponent. They study patterns and tendencies which help them predict what the other team might do. Like in sports, a scouting report on challenging environments can help Christians go in with “eyes wide open,” and develop a strategy for winning the spiritual battle. In this episode, Costi Hinn continues his series on self-control by walking you through 5 self-control war zones. These are items or environments that can be good things but are not neutral in our battle for self-control. In addition, he unpacks 4 responses to these war zones.
How to Ask for Forgiveness
In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down the "7 A's of Confession" from Ken Sande and helps to clarify the difference between genuinely seeking someone's forgiveness vs. making excuses about sin. Relationships will never heal and conflict cannot be reconciled if we do not take ownership of our sin. Many people don't know how to seek forgiveness or confess sin biblically. This episode will equip everyone to do that.
Sinful Anger vs. Righteous Anger
In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through the difference between sinful anger and righteous anger, using Scripture as the basis. Discerning the difference between these two types of anger can help us know when it's time to confess sin, or when it's time to confront someone in their sin. Is your anger rooted in selfish ambition? Are you angry and want to take revenge? Do you experience anger over what grieves the Holy Spirit? These questions (and more) are answered in this episode.
Truth AND Tone Matter
Correction and conflict regarding sin is inevitable in the church and we need to know how to navigate these issues in the way we communicate. Paul's instructions to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:1-2 explain how to approach older men, older women, younger men, and younger women. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks why it's not only "what" you say that matters, but "how" you say it when dealing with family in Christ. Truth should never be compromised, but the Bible provides valuable insight for speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) to other believers.
Reflections on the Tongue (James 3)
Using words with wisdom is so important for all of us, especially those who are teachers in the body of Christ. In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through a reflection on James 3 and what God's Word says about how we ought to guard our tongues. As believers, we can use our tongues to bring wisdom, or we can wound others. The wisdom from God is the kind of wisdom that should be on our lips at all times.
8 Questions for Christian Decision-Making
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.

Do you have to homeschool to be a faithful parent? These are all big questions that Christians wrestle with.
