We don’t know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching.



In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett looks at the Lord’s instructions to these men and what they teach us about gospel labor, the reality of opposition, and the present power of the Kingdom of God. The harvest is still great. Laborers are still few. And while the seventy returned rejoicing in what they were able to do, Jesus pointed them to a far greater joy, that their names were written in heaven.



Join us as we consider these enduring lessons from the seventy in Luke 10:1–20.

Lessons from the Seventy
Jesus says, “If any man will sue thee at the law and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.” In His day, the coat was the inner garment and the cloak the outer covering, often protected by law because a person might need it for warmth.

In this clip, we see how startling Christ’s teaching really is. Even if someone lawfully takes what’s yours—or even unjustly does so—the kingdom response is not bare compliance but willing generosity. If you’re found wrong, make it right and then some. If you suffer loss unfairly, refuse retaliation and go beyond what’s demanded.

If They Take Your Coat… Give More? Matthew 5:40
When Jesus said, “Whoever compels you to go a mile, go with him two,” His listeners knew exactly what He meant. Under Roman law, a soldier could legally force a civilian to carry a load or perform a task. It was inconvenient, humiliating, and unavoidable.

In this clip, we explore the power of Christ’s command. Don’t just comply with the minimum but willingly go beyond it. Even when an obligation is imposed on you, the spirit of the kingdom responds with voluntary grace that exceeds what was required.

Going the second mile is the difference between resentful duty and Christlike generosity.

Biblical Insight - The True Meaning of 'Compel'
Is justice really just when radically different crimes receive similar punishment? Scripture’s principle of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth” was about equity—the penalty matching the harm done.

In this clip, we wrestle with what that means in practice. When murder, abuse, and minor offenses are treated with comparable sentences, something feels deeply out of balance. Biblical justice insists that the punishment fit the crime—neither excessive nor trivial—but proportionate.

That ancient principle still challenges how we think about law, punishment, and fairness today.

Justice or Excess - Sentencing Laws Under Scrutiny
What does justice look like? In our culture, it’s often pictured as a blindfolded lady holding scales and a sword—justice weighed and punishment matched to the crime.

In this clip, we connect that familiar image to the Old Testament principle of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth.” It was never about revenge—it was about equity. The penalty was to correspond to the harm done, ensuring measured justice rather than excessive retaliation.

Understanding that foundation helps us see why Jesus’ words about resisting not evil and turning the other cheek were so striking—and so transformative.

Lady Justice Symbol - Sword and Scales
Scripture teaches us to pray for our leaders so we may live quiet and peaceable lives. That only happens when evil is restrained—but God did not assign that role to private individuals.

In this clip, we hold both truths together. As believers, we face offenses, insults, and even persecution with forgiveness—we turn the other cheek. Yet God has also ordained civil rulers as ministers of justice to deal with those who abuse and harm. Personal vengeance is not our calling, but public justice still has its place in God’s order.

Government's Duty - Punishing Evil
We’re told to cast our cares upon the Lord—and that includes vengeance. Christians are not to walk through life carrying grudges or seeking vindictive revenge against enemies.

In this clip, we connect Jesus’ words with their Old Testament background. “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” was a legal code of equity in Israel, never a license for personal retaliation. So when Christ says, “resist not evil… turn the other cheek,” He is calling us to release vengeance to God and refuse the instinct to strike back.

Turn the Other Cheek - Casting Care on God
In Luke 7:11–17, we witness one of the most tender displays of Christ’s compassion in all the Gospels: when Jesus meets a grieving widow at the gate of Nain and interrupts a funeral procession to restore her only son to life. In this sermon, we explore the historical setting of Nain, the cultural weight of funeral customs in first-century Judaism, and the devastating plight of a widowed mother with no surviving children.

This message reminds us that Christ’s compassion reaches into our greatest calamities, that no situation is beyond His power, and that the One who met a funeral in Nain still meets sinners in their death and gives them life today.

An Interrupted Funeral Procession
Turning the other cheek begins with a heart posture. Our general disposition as Christians is forgiveness—not vengeance. When someone smites us, whether with words, cold treatment, favoritism, exclusion, or even a literal slap, the first movement of the heart is to forgive.

In this clip, we talk about what that really means. “Smiting the cheek” is broader than we think. It includes everyday offenses that test our pride and tempt us toward retaliation. The call of Christ is not weakness—it’s a deliberate, grace-filled refusal to answer injury with injury.

Turning The Other Cheek - Forgiveness Over Vengeance
In this concluding portion of the message, Pastor Benjamin Winslett continues examining the preeminence of Christ and the place He rightly holds in the hearts and lives of His people. Scripture not only calls us to confess Christ as King, but to live in devoted loyalty to His kingdom above all earthly attachments.



Looking to the example of the apostles who left all to follow Jesus and the solemn warning given to the church at Ephesus, this message presses a searching question upon us: what might we allow to rise in prominence over Christ? With pastoral clarity and biblical conviction, Pastor Winslett urges us to keep our Lord first in affection, allegiance, and devotion.

What Has The Preeminence, Part 2
When Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek, is He commanding us to endure perpetual abuse? What happens when both sides of your face have been struck?

In this clip, we begin to clarify an important distinction. Christ is addressing ordinary, personal offenses—not empowering abusers, excusing violence, or dismantling civil authority. Scripture also teaches that rulers are to be a terror to evil, and there are categories—like assault, robbery, murder, or invasion—that fall under the responsibility of lawful authority.

Turning the other cheek is not a command to ignore justice, nor a prohibition against seeking protection.

Turn the Other Cheek - When To Stand Up For Yourself?
When Jesus says, “resist not evil” and “turn the other cheek,” it immediately clashes with something deep in us. It runs against our chest-pounding instincts, our temper-tantrum bravado, even our strong feelings about personal rights and self-defense.

In this clip, we slow down and admit something important: this passage doesn’t just confront the culture, it confronts me. Before we use it on someone else, we need to let it search our own hearts.

This Flies in the Face of American Bravado
When Jesus said “turn the other cheek,” He was not commanding fathers to stand by while evil harms their family. There is a difference between personal retaliation and God-given responsibility. In this clip, we draw that line clearly: calling 911 isn’t a lack of faith, and defending your wife and children isn’t vengeance—it’s accountability before God.

Turning the Other Cheek Doesn’t Mean This
In Malachi and again in Romans 9, Scripture declares, “Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.” In this sermon excerpt from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, Benjamin Winslett addresses this sobering passage and explains that the word “hated” does not mean “loved a little less,” but carries its full weight. Romans 9 teaches that before the twins were born—before they had done any good or evil—God’s purpose according to election stood, not of works, but of Him that calleth. While the passage speaks of two boys, it also establishes a greater principle: two manner of people, vessels of wrath fitted to destruction and vessels of mercy prepared for glory. This challenging but biblical truth is proclaimed in the full sermon available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw0OUaTFqI0

Esau and Edom - God's Unconditional Love and Hate
In Scripture, the word passion means suffering. In this sermon excerpt from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, Benjamin Winslett explains that Christ’s “passion” refers to His suffering, as described in the early chapters of Acts. While we don’t often use the word that way today, we still speak of compassion—which literally means to suffer with someone. True compassion is being moved by another’s pain and engaging to help because you feel the sting of their suffering. This biblical understanding of passion and compassion points us back to the suffering Savior and the heart He gives His people.
