What Has the Preeminence? | Part 1

In this edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett begins a message centered on a vital biblical question: what truly has the preeminence in our lives? Drawing from Colossians 1:18, we are reminded that Christ is not only our Savior, but our King—first in rank and first in influence.

This first portion of the message explores our identity as citizens of a kingdom not of this world, the present reality of Christ’s kingdom, and the devotion it calls for from those who belong to it. Using Scripture, illustration, and thoughtful reflection, Pastor Winslett invites us to examine where our loyalties rest and whether Christ truly holds the highest place in our hearts.

This message is part one of a two-part series and was delivered at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church. Be sure to join us next time for the continuation of this important subject!

What’s Your Post?

In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues a series of messages rooted in repentance by asking a simple but searching question: What is your post? Drawing from Romans chapter 12, this broadcast explores Paul’s call for believers to present themselves as living sacrifices and to serve God according to the grace and gifts He has assigned them.

Repentance, we are reminded, is not mere stopping—it is replacement. God does not leave His people in stasis, but transforms them inwardly and places them into meaningful service within His church. From prophecy and teaching to mercy, giving, and leadership, Romans 12 paints a picture of the church as a body where every member has a God-appointed role.

This message calls listeners away from conformity to the world and toward sober-minded, humble service in Christ’s kingdom, urging us to take our place faithfully, knowing that our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

The Divine Perspective of Repentance

On this episode of Words of Grace, we consider The Divine Perspective of Repentance from Luke chapter 15. Using the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son, this message looks beyond repentance as merely a human act and focuses instead on God’s response when His children return to Him.

Jesus’ parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and finally the lost son reveal a consistent truth: the value is placed by the owner, the recovery is initiated by the owner, and the rejoicing belongs to the owner. Whether repentance follows a dramatic fall, a “respectable” sin, or a slow spiritual drift, heaven responds with joy when sinners repent.

This broadcast reminds us that the Father’s house is still open, His mercy is real, and His grace is greater than our sin!

The Beauty in Repentance, Part 2

In Part 2 of The Beauty in Repentance on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues the discussion by examining how Scripture itself frames repentance, and how God responds when it occurs.

This episode looks at several biblical contexts in which repentance appears, including the role of godly sorrow and the goodness of God in leading His people to turn again toward Him. Rather than treating repentance as something to be doubted or feared, this message points listeners to a perspective shaped by grace and restoration.

The broadcast concludes by lifting our eyes to the heavenly view of repentance, where Jesus teaches that repentance is met not with suspicion, but with joy. If Part 1 challenged how repentance is often perceived, Part 2 completes the picture by showing why repentance is truly beautiful in the sight of God.

The Beauty in Repentance, Part 1

How should we respond to repentance, whether it’s our own, or something we see in someone else? When confronted with our sin, shame and fear often rise quickly. And when another person repents, our fallen instincts can lean toward skepticism, cynicism, or judgment rather than grace.

Today on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a message that examines repentance through the lens of Scripture, challenging common assumptions and misconceptions. Rather than presenting repentance as something ugly or humiliating, this broadcast begins to uncover the beauty found in repentance as God Himself defines it, setting the stage for a hopeful and gospel-centered perspective worth hearing.

A Good Time for Change

As we begin a new year together, this first broadcast of 2026 turns our attention to a timeless biblical theme: repentance. While the start of a new year often prompts reflection and resolutions, Scripture consistently calls God’s people to something deeper than surface-level change, a true turning of the heart and mind.

In this message, we consider the preaching of John the Baptist, the message of Jesus, and the proclamation of the apostles, all united by the same call: Repent and believe the gospel. We explore what repentance is, where it comes from, and how God’s goodness leads His people toward it.

Little Bethlehem

In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues and concludes his December study of Old Testament prophecies concerning the incarnation of Jesus Christ, turning the focus to Micah 5:2 and the significance of little Bethlehem. Though small and overlooked, Bethlehem was chosen by God as the birthplace of One whose goings forth have been from everlasting.

This message explores the biblical and historical background of Bethlehem Ephrath, its connections to Rachel and King David, and the precise fulfillment of Micah’s prophecy in Luke chapter 2 through the Roman census and the birth of Christ. The episode concludes with one of the final Old Testament predictions of the incarnation from Zechariah 2:10–13, where the Lord declares that He will come and dwell among His people—Jew and Gentile alike.

Who Exactly is Shiloh?

In this Christmas-season episode of Words of Grace, we consider one of the earliest and most beautiful promises of Christ found in the Old Testament. From Jacob’s prophetic words in Genesis 49, we’re introduced to the mysterious name Shiloh—the One to whom the gathering of the people would be, long understood as a promise of the coming Messiah.

We then follow that promise into the book of Isaiah, where the child to be born is revealed as Emmanuel, God with us—the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, and the Prince of Peace. The episode concludes in Psalm 8, reflecting on the wonder of the incarnation: that the eternal Son of God humbled Himself, becoming a little lower than the angels, taking on our humanity to redeem His people.

As you listen, may your heart be drawn not only to the warmth of the Christmas season, but to the ancient promises that find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Crushing the Head of the Serpent

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett takes us to Genesis 1–3 to consider the earliest proclamation of the gospel and God’s promise of redemption. From the goodness of creation, to the fall of our first parents, Scripture reveals Christ as the Seed of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head.

Genesis 3:15, often called the protoevangelium or first gospel, points forward to the virgin birth, the incarnation of the Son of God, and Christ’s decisive victory over Satan. In the garden, we see God seeking the sinner, providing a covering through the shedding of blood, and preaching the gospel Himself – establishing the pattern of salvation by grace.

Thanksgiving to God

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett examines the subject of thanksgiving as presented in Scripture. From the voluntary offerings of Leviticus to Paul’s New Testament exhortations, and finally the example of the woman in Luke 7, we consider what true gratitude toward God looks like. This message invites listeners to reflect on their own thankfulness and the blessings found in Christ.
