In this Bible study from the Fellowship Hall, we examine the remarkable account of Lydia, the seller of purple, found in Acts 16. As the Apostle Paul follows the Macedonian call, we see the sovereign hand of God directing the spread of the gospel to a specific place and a specific person. What was an ancient Jewish oratory, and why did Paul seek one out? Who was Lydia, and why is her conversion so significant in the history of the New Testament church? Most importantly, what does it mean that “the Lord opened her heart” to receive the things spoken by Paul? Join us as we explore the historical background, strategic nature of biblical evangelism, the necessity of God’s work in conversion, and the lasting impact of one faithful woman whose home became the meeting place for what is widely recognized as the first church in Europe. Whether you're studying the book of Acts or seeking to better understand biblical evangelism and God's providence, this lesson highlights how the Lord prepares both the messenger and the hearer for the advancement of His kingdom. #BibleStudy #Acts16 #Lydia #BookOfActs #Evangelism #PaulTheApostle #SovereignGrace #ChristianTeaching #NewTestament #ScriptureStudy
Lydia, Seller of Purple | From the Fellowship Hall
The people of Jesus’ day expected a political conqueror—a Messiah who would overthrow Rome by force. Instead, Christ came in humility, endured suffering, and accomplished a far greater victory than anyone imagined. Isaiah declared, “He shall not fail nor be discouraged.” In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we’re reminded that the mission of Jesus Christ was never in doubt. His work was not a gamble or an attempt that might succeed. As God incarnate, He came to perfectly accomplish the will of the Father. The cross was not a setback. The resurrection was not a surprise. From beginning to end, the work of redemption was a complete success. Christ has conquered sin, death, and hell, and His victory can never be undone.

Christ Could Not Fail
In this message, we conclude our study of the ordinances of the Lord’s church by considering the Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion. Instituted by Jesus Christ during the Passover meal, this ordinance serves as a continual remembrance of His sacrificial death and points forward to His glorious return. We examine the biblical foundation of Communion, its connection to the Old Testament Passover, the symbolism of the unleavened bread and wine, and the purpose Christ gave His church in observing this sacred ordinance. Just as baptism publicly identifies a believer with Christ, the Lord’s Supper continually proclaims His death until He comes again. As a New Testament church, understanding and faithfully observing the ordinances entrusted to us by Christ is of great importance. Join us as we explore the meaning, institution, and purpose of the Lord’s Supper from Scripture. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 26:17-29 Exodus 12 1 Corinthians 10:16 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 If this message has been a blessing to you, please like, subscribe, and share. #LordsSupper #Communion #PrimitiveBaptist #BaptistDoctrine #ChurchOrdinances #Passover #JesusChrist #ChristianTeaching #BibleStudy #NewTestamentChurch #SovereignGrace #KJV #ChristianSermon #MarchToZion #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptistChurch
The Ordinances: The Lord's Supper
How can God’s people continue trusting Him when life brings suffering, loss, uncertainty, and hardship? In this concluding message our recent sermon series, Ben Winslett turns to several of Scripture’s greatest examples of faith and confidence in God during times of affliction. From the remarkable testimony of Job, to the many Psalms that declare God’s faithfulness, the Bible repeatedly teaches believers to place their confidence in the Lord rather than in circumstances. The message concludes with the inspiring account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image and trusted God even in the face of a fiery furnace. Whether God delivers His people through their trials or ultimately delivers them from this present world into glory, He remains worthy of their trust. This sermon encourages believers to rest in God’s providence, cling to His promises, and remember that He is present with His children in every trial they face. Join us for the conclusion of “We Trust in God” on this week’s Words of Grace.

We Trust in God, Part 2
When the woman taken in adultery stood surrounded by her accusers, the religious crowd was ready to destroy her. Stones were in hand. Judgment was prepared. But then Jesus spoke: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone." One by one, the accusers walked away. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we see the heart of Christ toward broken sinners. After her accusers departed, Jesus asked, "Woman, where are thine accusers?" When she answered that she had none, He replied, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." What a picture of the bruised reed and the smoking flax. Christ did not excuse sin, but neither did He crush the sinner. He dealt with her in mercy, compassion, and grace. The same Savior who showed tenderness to the woman taken in adultery and to the woman who washed His feet with her tears is still the gentle Savior of His people today.

Neither Do I Condemn Thee
The world admires strength, success, influence, and popularity. Yet Jesus Christ is drawn to the weak, the wounded, and the broken. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we see two remarkable truths about our Savior. First, He did not seek fame or attention for Himself. Even after performing miracles, He often told people, "Go tell no one." Second, Isaiah prophesied that "a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench." A bruised reed is already damaged. A smoking wick has nearly gone out. Both are fragile, vulnerable, and seemingly of little use. Yet Christ does not discard them. He does not crush the weak or extinguish those who are barely hanging on. What a Savior. When others see weakness and failure, Jesus responds with gentleness, mercy, and compassion toward His people.

Jesus Doesn't Break the Weak #compassion
The lesson of the bruised reed isn't about someone else. It's about you. It's about me. Have you ever been weak? Have you ever been damaged? Have you ever felt discouraged, wounded, exhausted, or broken? Of course you have. The amazing truth of Isaiah's prophecy is that Christ does not cast off His people when they are weak. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we're reminded that we are the bruised reed and the smoking flax. And Jesus, in His tenderness and mercy, does not break His beloved children because they are wounded. He does not abandon them because they are struggling. What a contrast between the harsh spirit of legalism and the compassion of Christ. While others may see weakness as a reason to condemn, Jesus sees His beloved child and responds with mercy. If you're weary today, remember this: Christ is not looking for a reason to break you. He is your gentle Savior.

Jesus's Comfort A Beautiful Lesson for the Damaged
One of the most beautiful descriptions of Jesus in all of Scripture is this: "A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench." A bruised reed is already damaged. A smoking wick has almost gone out. There's little light, little heat, and only a faint ember remains. Yet Isaiah tells us that this is exactly the kind of person Christ deals with so gently. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we're reminded that Jesus does not crush the weak, abandon the discouraged, or extinguish those whose faith seems barely alive. His tenderness is such that He preserves the bruised reed and nurtures the smoking flax. If you feel broken, weary, discouraged, or spiritually exhausted, take comfort in this truth: Christ is gentle with His people.

Jesus's Gentle Strength: The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax
When Jesus was baptized, heaven itself testified to who He is. As Christ came up out of the water, the Spirit descended like a dove, and the voice of the Father thundered from heaven: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we see the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy: “Behold my servant... my soul delighteth in him.” The Father delights in the Son because the Son perfectly fulfilled His will, perfectly revealed His character, and perfectly accomplished the work He was sent to do. What a comfort to know that our salvation rests in the One who is perfectly pleasing to the Father. The God who delights in Christ saves sinners through Christ.

The Father Delights in the Son
Throughout His earthly ministry, the Father was with the Son. He upheld Him, heard Him, strengthened Him, and bore witness to Him. Yet at Calvary, something happened that reveals the staggering cost of our redemption. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we consider the cry of Christ from the cross: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” The One whom the Father had always upheld was forsaken as our sins were laid upon Him. The sinless Savior was judged in the place of sinners, bearing the wrath that we deserved. The suffering of Christ was not merely physical. At the cross, He endured the judgment of God on behalf of His people so that they might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

The Crucifixion - "Why Has Thou Forsaken Me?"
The gospel is not a message of uncertainty. It is not a story of a Savior who merely tried. The truth of the gospel is victory. Jesus Christ accomplished what He came to do, and He will not fail nor be discouraged until all God's purposes are fulfilled. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we're reminded that Christ is victorious over sin, Satan, death, and hell. The cross was not a defeat—it was the triumph of the Son of God. The empty tomb declares that the battle has been won. No matter how dark the world may seem, the truth of the matter is victory. Jesus reigns, and in His name sinners from every nation trust.

Christ's Victorious Gospel: Truth, Judgment, and Victory
What does it mean to be holy? In this message, Pastor Ben Winslett explores God's command, "Be ye holy; for I am holy," and the sobering reality that none of us can achieve holiness by our own efforts. The bad news is that God's holy standard exposes our sin. The Ten Commandments reveal what holiness looks like, and Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount shows that our thoughts, words, and actions all fall short of God's perfect righteousness. But there is also the best news imaginable. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, those who could never make themselves holy are made holy before God. As 2 Corinthians 5:21 declares, Christ was made to be sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Finally, this message considers the practical call to holiness. While believers are positionally holy through Christ, they are also commanded to pursue holiness in daily life. By looking to the example of Jesus—His love, mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion—we learn what a holy life looks like in practice. #BenWinslett #PrimitiveBaptist #Christianity #BibleStudy #1Peter #Holiness #BeYeHoly #JesusChrist #Gospel #Grace #Sermon #Preaching
Be Ye Holy
One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is not the error we recognize, but the error we don't see. The Pharisees were quick to criticize others, yet Jesus repeatedly exposed the blind spots in their own hearts and traditions. In this excerpt from a sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we're reminded of an important prayer in every theological discussion: "Lord, reveal unto us our blind spots." No denomination, church, or individual is infallible. Our confidence rests not in tradition or affiliation, but in the infallible Lord and His Word. May God give us humility to receive correction and grace to follow the truth wherever His Word leads.

Blind Spots & Theological Controversy - Pursue the Truth
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.

We Trust in God, Part 1
They bring a man with a withered hand to Jesus and ask a loaded question: “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” But beneath the question is something deeper—hypocrisy. They’ve already gone out of their way, plotted together, and even disrupted the Sabbath themselves just to trap Christ. They’re willing to break the spirit of the law in order to accuse the Lord of glory. In this excerpt from “A Bruised Reed” preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, the preacher highlights how Jesus exposes that inconsistency. He points them to something simple and undeniable: if you would rescue a sheep on the Sabbath, how much more valuable is a man than a sheep? Jesus always brings the conversation back to truth, mercy, and the real heart of God’s law.
