Godly Sorrow, Part 1

Over the next two weekends on Words of Grace, we’re sharing with you a message that Pastor Winslett delivered recently as a part of his ongoing pulpit series from 2 Corinthians. In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 7, we have the opportunity to explode the concept of godly sorrow. On today’s broadcast, our focus is verse 8, the temporary sorrow which the Corinthians felt, a sorrow that led them to repentance.

Some Thoughts from the Storm

Here in north Alabama, we recently spent a week largely confined to our homes, due to a winter storm dropping several inches of sleet in 20 degree weather. This closed schools, work, and churches.

In today’s broadcast, Ben Winslett emphasizes, first of all, that we know not what a day may bring. As a result, our plans sometimes fall through. Secondly, he shares some ways in which the Bible uses snow as a word picture.

Saved to Serve

Jesus died and rose again that we should live for Him. God reconciled us in Christ so we’re exhorted to reconcile ourselves to God. We’re new creatures in Christ, given the righteousness of Christ, but are exhorted not to receive the grace of God in vain.  From 2 Corinthians chapter 5, Pastor Winslett shares the biblical reason we serve God: He saved us. Join us for more!

Leaving Those Things Which Are Behind!

Happy New Year! Every January 1, we are presented with the unique opportunity for a fresh start. It’s a new year, full of new opportunities, as Earth begins a new journey around the Sun.

Walking by Faith

In 2 Corinthians 5, there is a short but powerful parenthetical statement which reads, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” In today’s radio program, a follow-up from last week’s on the new birth, we consider first what faith is and then, what it means to walk by it.

Sadly, the reality of what faith is has been lost to many believers in our present day. Far beyond mere mental ascent, faith is actually Christ living in you (Gal 2:20)! This intimate personal knowledge of God (Heb 8) is sparked at the new birth, a knowledge Jesus described as eternal life itself (Jn 17).

Join us for pastor Winslett’s message, Walking by Faith.

Thoughts on the New Birth

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Winslett draws our attention to a fundamental but crucial subject in the word of God, the new birth. Also called quickening, regeneration, and translation, among other terms, this is the doctrine of salvation from death in sin to life in Christ. In today’s broadcast, we consider these various terms as well as the effects of the new birth in a person’s life.
