Divorce, abandonment, betrayal, and broken families bring some of the deepest heartaches we experience in this world. But there's coming a day when there will be no more separation, no more broken homes, and no more goodbyes. Christ and His bride will be together forever! And in heaven, there will be no fatherless children, because our Heavenly Father is faithful.

In Heaven, There Will Be No More Broken Homes
What does it mean to be glorified? Romans 8:30 declares, “whom he justified, them he also glorified.” But glorification is far more than simply entering Heaven. It is the wonderful promise that God's children will one day be completely changed into the perfect image of Jesus Christ. In this fifth message of our Unpacking Grace series, Pastor Benjamin Winslett considers the final aspect of our salvation: glorification. Drawing from Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 15, we explore how the new birth foreshadows our future transformation, how the Holy Spirit gives us a foretaste of our eternal inheritance, and how our mortal, corruptible bodies will one day be raised in incorruption, glory, and power. Salvation by grace doesn't merely deliver us from condemnation. It guarantees that we will forever dwell with Christ, conformed to His image, and made joint-heirs with Him. What a glorious future awaits the children of God!

One of the greatest sources of conflict in marriage is parents who refuse to let their grown children establish their own homes. Scripture says a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife. That means something! As parents, we should always be available to help our children, but we must also recognize when our authority ends. A new marriage is a new household, and we need to respect that.

What does it mean to be rich in the eyes of God? In Revelation chapter 2, Jesus addresses a congregation that was surrounded by wealth but personally acquainted with poverty, persecution, and suffering. Yet unlike a majority of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, the church at Smyrna received no rebuke from the Lord. Instead, Christ offered words of assurance to a people who had remained faithful despite tremendous hardship. In this first part of our message on the Church at Smyrna, we consider the historical setting of this congregation, the opposition these early Christians faced, and the significance of Christ introducing Himself as the One who was dead and is alive. Their circumstances were difficult, but their Savior knew their suffering. What an encouragement to us today, knowing that no trial escapes His notice and that even death itself has been conquered by Jesus Christ!

The Church at Smyrna (Part 1)
I recently saw a news story about a Christian group sending care packages filled with food, water, and other necessities to people affected by a tragedy. But because they included a Bible in each box, that became the controversy! Even more troubling was the number of people mocking the church for its efforts. Why ridicule Christians for helping people in need? I couldn't help but wonder how many of those criticizing the church had actually done anything themselves to help those suffering. Sometimes the criticism has very little to do with the assistance being offered and everything to do with people's hostility toward Christianity. But regardless of the scoffers, God's people ought to continue showing compassion and doing good in the name of Christ.

Why Mock Christians for Helping People?
"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever." What a beautiful declaration of faith from Psalm 73! We live in a world where terrible things happen, where our bodies fail, our hearts break, and life doesn't always make sense. But thank God, we have His word! The Bible explains why this world is filled with suffering, points us to the Lord as our strength and refuge, and assures us of the glory that awaits His people. Child of God, whatever you're facing today, remember that you know how the story ends. The Lord will guide us with His counsel and afterward receive us to glory!

When Life Falls Apart, Remember How the Story Ends!
One of the most important questions we can ask when reading the Bible is, "Saved from what?" Every time we encounter the word saved, we ought to consider what kind of deliverance the passage is describing. In Acts 2, Peter exhorted his hearers to save themselves from that untoward generation. He wasn't teaching them how to earn eternal life, but how to be delivered from the sinful ways of the world around them through obedience to Christ. Child of grace, there is a wonderful deliverance to be experienced in this life by following God's word, separating ourselves from the world's foolishness, and enjoying fellowship in the Lord's church!

Saved From What? A Question Every Bible Reader Should Ask!
Of all the ways God has demonstrated His grace in our salvation, perhaps none is more visible or profound than the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Father chose us in grace, the Spirit gives us life in grace, but the Son of God came into this world, lived righteously, suffered, bled, and died to redeem us from our sins. What the Father purposed and the Spirit applies, Jesus Christ purchased with His own blood. In this fourth message in our series, Unpacking Grace, we consider the doctrine of justification, exploring its meaning in Scripture and the different ways the Bible speaks of being justified. What is the difference between justification before God, justification by faith in our conscience, and justification by works before others? And when were God's people actually justified in His sight? Turning to Romans 8:29-30, Romans 5:9, Hebrews 10, and other passages, we examine the glorious truth that our eternal justification was accomplished through Christ's finished work on the cross, entirely by grace and apart from our works. Join us at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church as we continue unpacking the riches of God's grace in salvation. #UnpackingGrace #Justification #GraceOfGod #JesusChrist #FinishedWorkOfChrist #SovereignGrace #SalvationByGrace #PrimitiveBaptist #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptistChurch #Romans8
The Grace in Justification | Unpacking Grace, Part 4
The best we can hope for in this world is a mixture of joys and sorrows. If you came to church expecting to hear about living your best life now, I've got a different message for you! Jesus promised His people life more abundantly, but that doesn't mean a life free from pain, sickness, hardship, or sorrow. The abundant life we have in Christ is found in knowing Him, worshiping Him, and enjoying fellowship with Him, even in the midst of life's troubles. As the old hymn reminds us, "Prisons would palaces prove, if Jesus would dwell with me there." What a wonderful reminder that our greatest blessing isn't a trouble-free life, but the presence of Christ!

Your Best Life Isn't Now!
Can a church be doctrinally sound, faithful in its works, diligent in defending the truth, and yet be in danger of losing its identity as a New Testament church? According to Jesus’ words to the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2, the answer is yes! Despite His remarkable commendation of this congregation, the Lord had one serious charge against them: They had left their first love. In this edition of Words of Grace, we consider the danger of becoming so consumed with fighting error that we lose sight of Christ Himself. While defending sound doctrine is an important responsibility, our devotion must never shift from worshipping Christ to merely defending the doctrines of Christ. Join us as we consider the Lord’s sobering warning to Ephesus, His call to repentance, and the glorious promise He gives to those who overcome.

Have you ever had one of those wonderful days when everything just seemed right? You're sitting in church with your family, everyone is happy, your heart is full of the Lord, and you wish that moment could last forever. As wonderful as those moments are, they're only a foretaste of the glory that awaits us! Think about that. The very best moment you've ever experienced in this world cannot begin to compare with what God has prepared for His people. And unlike the joys of this life, the joy of heaven will never come to an end. We simply cannot comprehend how wonderful eternity with Christ will be!

Some people dream of escaping this world by traveling to another planet. But I've got a much better hope than going to Mars! Through Jesus Christ, we have the promise of deliverance from this present evil world, not merely from its troubles, but from everything that has been affected by Adam's transgression. Think about that! Our hope isn't simply to relocate somewhere else in this fallen creation. It's to be delivered from the corruption of this present age altogether, even from time itself, into the eternal glory God has prepared for His people. What a glorious hope we have in Christ!

We often hear people ask, "Have you found Christ?" But I believe there's a much bigger question: Has Christ found me? Think about the shepherd and his lost sheep. The sheep doesn't go looking for the shepherd. The shepherd goes looking for the sheep! Before Christ found us, we weren't seeking Him. We were lost in our own carnality. But thank God, our salvation doesn't depend on a lost sheep finding its way home. Christ is the Good Shepherd, and He finds His sheep! And ultimately, no one can hide from Him. Every person will be found by Christ, whether in grace or in judgment.

Have You Found Christ, or Has Christ Found You?
What does it mean to be born again? Is the new birth something we accomplish through faith or religious works, or is it a sovereign work of God in the soul? Continuing our series Unpacking Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett considers the gracious work of the Holy Spirit in bringing sinners from death in sin to life in Christ. From Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3 to Paul's teachings in Ephesians 2, Scripture presents the new birth as a work of divine power, accomplished by the Spirit of God, rather than the will or efforts of man. But God's grace doesn't merely give us spiritual life. It changes us! Those who have been born of the Spirit are new creatures in Christ, created unto good works and equipped with spiritual fruit that we are called to cultivate in our daily lives. Join us at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church as we consider the miracle of regeneration, the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit, and the beautiful transformation that follows when God makes us alive in Christ. Scripture references: Romans 8:29-30, John 3:1-8, Ephesians 1-2, Titus 2:11-13, Titus 3:3-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:16-25. #UnpackingGrace #GraceInTheNewBirth #BornAgain #Regeneration #SovereignGrace #HolySpirit #SalvationByGrace #PrimitiveBaptist #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptist #BenWinslett #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching
Grace in The New Birth | Unpacking Grace, Part 3
Think about this. We consider gold to be one of the most valuable things in the world. But in Revelation, the streets of the heavenly city are described as pure gold! Nobody goes out to the parking lot and collects chunks of asphalt because they're valuable. Nobody fills a bucket with dirt from an old Alabama dirt road and treasures it. Yet what we value so highly here is pictured as pavement in glory! I believe that's a beautiful symbolic reminder that heaven is so much greater than anything this world has to offer. The most precious things we know here cannot begin to compare with the glory that awaits us.
