We Trust in God, Part 1

How do God’s people respond when life becomes difficult? When trials come unexpectedly, when fear threatens to overwhelm us, and when circumstances seem beyond our control, Scripture continually calls us to place our confidence in the Lord.

In this message from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Ben Winslett begins a study on trusting God in the midst of life’s afflictions. Drawing from the account of Jesus and His disciples on the Sea of Galilee, we consider Peter’s walk upon the water, the danger of taking our eyes off Christ, and the gracious way our Savior rescues His people when their faith falters.

This message also concludes a recent series on the resurrection, suffering, and the hope that God’s children possess through Jesus Christ. As believers, we are reminded that while troubles are inevitable in this world, God remains sovereign, faithful, and worthy of our trust.

Join us for Part 1 of “We Trust in God” on this week’s Words of Grace.

Trusting in Providence, Part 2: Elijah’s Story

In Part 2 of this study on God’s providence, Ben Winslett turns from the doctrine itself to several powerful biblical examples of God’s faithful provision. Scripture is filled with accounts of the Lord overruling circumstances, directing events, and caring for His people according to His perfect wisdom. We conclude with a brief consideration of God’s care of the prophet Elijah: from feeding him with ravens to food supplies that never become exhausted.

As we consider Elijah’s experience, we are encouraged to trust the same God who continues to care for His people today. The Lord who provided daily bread in the days of Elijah remains faithful to sustain His children in every generation.

Trusting in Providence (Part 1): God Provides

What does the providence of God really mean? Is God only involved in the extraordinary moments of life, or is His hand at work in every breath, every provision, and every circumstance we face?

In this broadcast of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett begins a study of God’s providence by exploring the biblical truth that the Lord not only created all things, but actively sustains and governs His creation. From the birds of the air to the lilies of the field, Scripture reminds us that God faithfully provides for His people and calls us to trust Him rather than be consumed with fear and worry.

Grace ‘Tis a Charming Sound

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, ’Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve. But, Scripture paints a very different picture of how sinners are saved. From Romans 3 to Ephesians 2, Pastor Winslett explains that salvation cannot come by human effort. Instead, the undeniable message of the gospel is that we are saved by grace alone—unmerited favor from a sovereign God.

Listen now and be refreshed by the sweet sound of God’s sovereign grace!

Be Strong! Be Brave!

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett reflects on the biblical call to “be strong.” We live in a world filled with trials and troubles, and Scripture reminds us again and again that true strength is not found in ourselves, but in the Lord. From the stories of Gideon and Samson, to the encouragements of Hebrews 11, and the command given to Joshua after Moses’ passing, we see that strength comes by faith in God’s power, not human grit alone.

A Christ Who Hears

Have you ever felt uncertain about whether God hears your prayers? In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett shares a message of deep reassurance from Luke 4, Isaiah 61, Psalm 72, Matthew 8, and Hebrews 4. From the moment Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from Isaiah to the many times He answered cries for help during His earthly ministry, we see a consistent truth: Christ hears and responds to the needs of His people.

Whether you’re struggling, seeking guidance, or simply in need of comfort, this message reminds us that we can always go to Jesus—and He will say, “I will.”

Biblical Beauty

In our most recent edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett addresses the subject of physical beauty through the lens of Scripture. While the Bible clearly acknowledges physical attractiveness (Sarah, Rebekah, David, etc.), it also warns against making beauty an idol. True beauty, as God’s word teaches, is found not in outward appearance but in the beauty of holiness. From biblical modesty to the fleeting nature of physical appeal, this sermon calls believers to focus on what truly matters: the heart, godliness, and a life that reflects Christ. Join us for this important and timely reflection on Biblical Beauty.
