What is Faith?
Here is a great irony within Christianity. Faith is one of the most used words among believers, most referenced concepts in the scriptures, and one of the least understood subjects! In today’s radio program, Ben Winslett shares an abundance of scriptures to share a fundamental groundwork of this miracle in the heart we call “faith.”

Two Types of People
In this broadcast, Ben Winslett presents a stunning but biblical fact: There are but two types of people living in the world today, those regenerated and those yet unregenerate.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
The day before His crucifixion, rather than worrying about Himself, Jesus was busy ministering to His disciples. John’s gospel records one encouragement Jesus gave – Let not your heart be troubled. On today’s episode of Words of Grace, we apply that language to life after Jesus’ resurrection. Because He is Risen, our hearts need never be troubled, for Jesus has overcome all.

Working While Waiting
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!

Clarity on Matters of Abuse in the Church
It’s a sad reality that accusations of abuse and abusers are common occurrence in news reports and social media posts. But how should we handle actual cases of such? Ben Winslett speaks to that issue on today’s Words of Grace radio broadcast.

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.

The Law on the Heart
It is commonly taught that even after sin, there is a remnant of God’s law on the heart of every human. But is this teaching biblical? In this broadcast, Ben Winslett turns to scripture to answer this question. Continue reading “The Law on the Heart”
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???”
