If Risen…then Seek!

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

Risen with Christ. What a thought! Certainly our minds go to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and our victory over death through His triumph. Yet at the same time, as God quickens sinners, they are vitally risen with Christ. Over the next two programs, we’ll consider Paul’s admonition to the church at Colosse to seek those things which are above, being risen with Christ.

Experiencing God’s Presence

Whether in the Old Testament or the New, God’s house was a place where God’s presence was manifested, albeit in different ways. That brings up an interesting  and thought inspiring notion: do we experience God in His house today? If so – praise God. But if not, why? Ben Winslett addresses this subject in today’s edition of Words of Grace.

The Value of God’s House

Church attendance has been on the decline in the US in recent decades, but since the covid-19 pandemic swept the world, this problem has been exacerbated. Why is this?

The Danger of a Snapshot

One negative tendency of many conservative believers is the habit of attempting to pass judgement on a person’s eternal destination based upon brief snippets – snapshots – of their lives. While it’s true that there are examples of outright evil that is easy to perceive, in most cases we are infinitely unqualified and far too ignorant to set ourselves up as judge and jury in the courtroom of men’s souls. Join Benjamin Winslett for this broadcast, in which he considers several Biblical examples which demonstrate this fact.

Examples of Regeneration

Whatever one believes about any Bible doctrine, the stories of the Bible ought to corroborate their views – if those views are correct. In other words, Bible theology should be demonstrated in Bible accounts. In this broadcast, we consider some obvious and notable examples of the new birth. As we do, ask yourself the question: Does my teaching on regeneration line up with these examples?

The Suffering Steward

Faithfully preaching God’s word invites adversity and suffering.

Ask yourself the question: what is MY personal response to suffering. Many of us might respond with resentment. Others, self-pity. And some might even plot revenge! In this message from Colossians chapter 1, we learn Paul’s response, one he shared with other Apostles – rejoicing.
