How Should We Think About Lyric Projection on Sundays?
Many, if not most, churches today project lyrics on a screen to enable congregational singing. But technology has given us a variety of options for lyric projection that require biblical discernment, thoughtfulness, and intentionality. In this first episode of Season 8, Bob Kauflin and David Zimmer explore what our aim is in lyric projection, suggest […]
The Ideal Team Member | Bob Kauflin | WG24
Participating on the music, tech, projection, video, or planning team is more than an opportunity to showcase our gifts. It’s an opportunity to join others in serving those for whom Christ came to redeem. This breakout will equip you to do that in a way that contributes to a Christ-exalting culture and God-glorifying gatherings.
The Functional Centrality of the Gospel | Mike Bullmore | WG24
What is the greatest, most trying need of the church today? A functioning biblical theological application of the Bible, especially the Gospel. In this breakout, you’ll learn how Jesus living, dying, and rising from the dead for our salvation is meant to affect every area of our lives.
Keeping Sane in an Insane World | Josh Blount | WG24
The culture we live in is very much like the one the prophet Isaiah lived in when he made this observation: “For truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.” (Isaiah 59:14–15, ESV) How do we make a positive […]

Cultivating a Heart for Your Church | Jared Mellinger | WG24
Leaders glorify God when they see their own responsibilities as a means of actively caring for, serving, and building up others. This session will give you theological foundations and practical applications for becoming that kind of leader.
Congregational Worship in a Multilingual World | WG24
Many churches today are having to confront the challenge of multilingual congregations and communities. What steps can we take to minimize the gaps we experience and reflect the unity we now have in Christ? In this breakout, Sovereign Grace Music and Jonathan and Sarah Jerez share how they have worked in their own contexts and […]
Bringing Light to Our Blindspots | Bob Kauflin | WG24
Most leaders know what’s expected of them and what makes for a good leader. But often a serious distance exists between what we know and what we’re actually doing. That disconnect can lead to significant problems not only for the leader but others. In this breakout, Bob Kauflin, speaking from 40 years of experience as […]
Arranging for Your Church | Ben Shive | WG24
How do we think about what and how we play in congregational worship? What are the benefits and drawbacks to simply playing what’s on the recording? How creative should we be? In whatever role you serve musically in your church, this interactive breakout will help you take the next steps in serving your church more […]
Lyric Projection FOCUS Talk | WG24
Jared Mellinger – Union with Christ and the Holy Spirit – John 14:15-27
In this message, Jared Mellinger shows us that as Jesus prepared the disciples for his departure, he wanted them and us to know that the Holy Spirit would make God’s presence, power, and peace real in their lives after he was gone. The effect is that we might not just receive eternal life as a […]
Mike Bullmore – Union with Christ and Our Devotions – Ps. 119 (various)
Drawing from portions of Psalm 119, Mike Bullmore shows us how our union with Christ transforms our devotional life from mere religious duty to a personal, intimate communion with God. That makes our times in God’s word intensely personal, emotionally powerful, and filled with promise for the future.
Devon Kauflin – Union with Christ and Our Gatherings – Heb. 8:1-6
In this sermon, Devon Kauflin helps us remember what we are prone to forget: every time we gather we have a high priest who is our access into the very presence of God. We no longer have to wear ourselves out in practice, production and performance, because Jesus’ work is finished and he is working […]
Josh Blount – Union with Christ and Our Identity – Col. 3:1-4
In this message, Josh Blount shows us that a Christian’s most foundational identity is not in something we locate inside ourselves, but in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While our sins have an expiration date, our life in Christ does not.
H.B. Charles, Jr. – Union with Christ and Justification – Gal. 2:20
In this sermon, Pastor H.B. Charles shows that being a Christian means we are saved by the death of Christ, changed by the life of Christ, and set free by the work of Christ. That knowledge should lead us to a profound encounter with Christ’s love, revealed through giving his life for us.
John Piper – Union with Christ and the Promises of God – 2 Cor. 1:20
In this message, Dr. Piper explores what it means when the Bible says that “all the promises of God find their Yes” in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:20). Because Christ is our life and we are members of his family, we are counted righteous before God can overflow with joy even in the midst of […]

If you’ve ever been anxious, nervous, insecure, fearful, jittery, or apprehensive about leading your congregation on a Sunday, this episode is for you! Of course, it’s relevant to other situations in as well. Bob and David talk about the difference between good anxiety and bad anxiety, and explore means God has given us in his […]
