Judging the Tree by its Fruit

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett shares a message titled “Judging the Tree by its Fruit.” Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 7, “by their fruits ye shall know them,” Ben reminds us that while we aren’t called to be judgmental people, we are called to exercise discernment. Just as good judgment keeps us from stepping into danger on the highway, spiritual discernment helps us recognize truth from error—especially when it comes to false teachers.

Through passages from Matthew, John, Proverbs, James, and 1 Peter, Ben explores the biblical principle that our works reveal who we are. Even a child is known by his doings, and our actions as believers should reflect the faith we profess. Ultimately, this message challenges us to live in a way that bears witness of Christ and leaves a good name before others.

Listen as we teach on the wisdom of discernment, the importance of our testimony, and the danger of false preachers—reminding us that “when someone shows you who they are, you are wise to believe them.”

Answering Christ’s Accusers | Isaiah 53

In our latest edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett shares a recent sermon preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, focusing on two false accusations made against Christ during His mock trials, before the crucifixion. Drawing from Isaiah 53:7-9, we explore the silence of Jesus before His accusers, the meaning behind the phrases “He had done no violence” and “neither was any deceit in His mouth,” and how these statements prophetically defend His innocence. This powerful message not only highlights the purity of our Savior but also encourages believers to follow His example in times of suffering.

Those who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

In this episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett explores Matthew 5:6, in which Jesus said “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” This longing for righteousness is a sign of spiritual life, showing that a person has been born again. Just as physical hunger indicates life, spiritual hunger reveals the presence of the new nature given by God. And, this craving is ONLY satisfied through the gospel, prayer, and worship.
