Sovereign Grace Music - WorshipGod Conference: Recent Episodes
Sovereign Grace Music
WorshipGod Conference is an event hosted by Sovereign Grace Music focused on the heart, theology, and skills of leading congregational worship. These are some of the messages from past conferences.
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 future event, but live in a vibrant, ongoing relationship with Christ now.
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.
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 in our midst whenever the church meets.
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.
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.
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 affliction.
Too often we measure God’s love through the lens of the oppression, evil, and sorrow around us or inside us. But Jared Mellinger shows us from Psalm 107 how the real measure of God’s love is the fact that he sent his Son to die in our place. And those who know the unchanging nature of God’s unchanging eternal love will never lack reasons to sing his praise.
Most people constantly search for happiness and never find it. In this thought provoking message, Mark Jones shows us how the most blessed and joyful person is the one who is most like Jesus Christ, who “for the joy that was set before him endured the cross” (Heb. 12:2).
In this helpful Q&A session, Bob Kauflin asks Rich Vasallo, Scott Lavender, and Jonny Robinson questions about CityAlight’s history, songwriting process, and future projects.
What should our passing years teach us? Some say nothing matters because we’re all going to die. But in this message from Psalm 90, Josh Blount shows us how our mortality points us both to God’s righteous judgment on our sin and the eternal hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
In times of uncertainty, opposition, and fear we look for a refuge. Sadly, we often put our trust in approval from others and the security of wealth. But in this message, Mike Bullmore shows us how only God is an unchanging refuge who provides protection, safety, and rest to all those who trust in him.
We are dependent creatures from the beginning of our lives until our last breath. But God needs nothing and no one to exist. He is eternally self-sufficient. In this message, Mark Jones shows us how only Jesus modeled perfect dependence on the Father, and how the truly blessed life is marked by absolute dependence on God.

True worship is a response to all that God has revealed himself to be. And in his encounter with Moses in Exodus 34, God gave us one of the clearest revelations of himself that Scripture offers. In this opening message, Jeff Purswell not only unpacks how God has defined himself, but shows how his unchanging character was most fully revealed in Jesus Christ.
