Last weeks message focused on the biblical encouragement to “wait” on the Lord in our trials. Today, we balance that though with a message on working. That is, as we wait on God, there are many things we need to be doing, particularly as a church. Continue reading “Working While Waiting”
How is Jesus the Only Begotten?
Jesus’ title as God’s “only begotten Son” is as historic as the New Testament itself, and is common language used in commentaries, sermons, creeds and confessions all through church history. However, in recent years, so-called New Testament Greek experts and bible translators have attempted, in vain, to redefine that as something else. In this broadcast, Ben Winslett considers the phrase from several angles, including the underlying Greek, ancient sources, and related words. Suffice it to say, this faithful title of “the only begotten Son” needs no amending!

Looking for Open Doors
Churches are not to be stagnant, both in terms of vibrancy but also outreach. But to actually find opportunities to share the gospel and to help others requires what scripture calls “an open door.” These doors can’t be fabricated or forced, but are provided by God Himself. On today’s broadcast, we elaborate on this concept.

Let Go and Let God???
A popular Christian slogan in contemporary times is “Let go and let God.” But is this the best way to express encouragement in times of trial? We think not – for the simple reason that human beings cannot “let” God do anything, for He is sovereign.
In this message, Pastor Winslett speaks to that point, while also clarifying the true point most people intend when they say this phrase, as well as biblical alternatives. Continue reading “Let Go and Let God???”

A Continual Prayer Vigil, Part 1
We would imagine that over the past week, you’ve been alarmed more than you might have been in some time because of the dangerous, powder keg of a situation in Europe. This is for good reason. It’s nothing to wink at. In view of such, a trait of God’s people is to see such unfold and immediately begin to ask the question, “what can I do?” That’s what we’ll consider on this and next week’s edition of Words of Grace.
