Hurdles to Fruitfulness

On this episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett brings a message from Matthew 13 on the parable of the sower, focusing on a theme that speaks directly to every believer: “Hurdles to Fruitfulness.”

While this familiar parable is often understood as describing different kinds of hearers, the Lord Jesus applies it in a deeply personal way with the exhortation, “Take heed therefore how ye hear.” In this message, we consider how that warning applies to us as disciples, and why it is that the word of God sometimes fails to bear fruit in our lives as it should.

The Suffering Servant Rises

In the conclusion of this special Easter-season message, Ben Winslett returns to Isaiah 53 to consider the very heart of the gospel. Why did Christ suffer? Why was the Servant wounded, bruised, and cut off out of the land of the living?

This message explores the substitutionary sufferings of Jesus Christ, the mystery of the cross, and the triumphant hope of the resurrection foretold in prophecy. Isaiah not only tells us that Christ would die for sinners, he also shows us that the Servant would prolong His days, see the travail of His soul, and be satisfied.

To Whom Is The Arm Of The Lord Revealed?

In this special Easter-season broadcast, Ben Winslett begins a two-part message from Isaiah 53 and Acts 8, focusing on the Ethiopian eunuch’s timeless question: “Of whom speaketh the prophet this?” Who is Isaiah describing in this remarkable prophecy?

In this first part, we consider how Christ is revealed in the Old Testament as the Arm of the Lord—God’s saving power made known in the promised Messiah. This message explores the opening verses of Isaiah 53, the unbelief of man, and the glory of Christ foretold centuries before His coming.

This episode is the first half of last year’s Easter message and sets the stage for next week’s conclusion on the sufferings, atonement, and resurrection victory of Jesus Christ!

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.

The Brothers and Sisters of Christ

In this week’s Words of Grace broadcast, Pastor Ben Winslett considers a deeply comforting truth from Scripture: we are not only children of God, but Jesus actually calls us His brothers and sisters.

Drawing from parallel accounts in Luke 8 and Matthew 12, we explore the amazing and perhaps shocking assertion of Jesus that those who hear and do God’s commands are His true brothers and sisters. And according to Hebrews 2 , Christ is the Captain of our salvation and unashamed to call us brethren. Lastly, Hebrews 13 reminds us to let brotherly love continue! As brothers and sisters, we should treat one another differently.

Join us for this encouraging reflection on the family language of Scripture and the grace that binds us together in Christ.

When Jesus Wept

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett turns to one of the most moving passages in Scripture: the death and resurrection of Lazarus in John chapter 11. Here we witness the compassion, purpose, and power of Christ. Though He knew Lazarus would live again, Jesus still wept with those He loved. What comfort this gives us: a Savior who conquers the grave yet enters into our sorrow with tenderness and understanding.

This message reflects on God’s perfect timing, the hope of the resurrection, and the precious promise that death is but sleep for the children of God. Join us as we consider the glory of Christ in one of His most unforgettable miracles.

It’s All About Christ!

Everything about the Christian faith centers on one glorious truth — it’s all about Christ. From creation to redemption, from our new birth to our eternal home, all things are of Him, through Him, and to Him.

In this edition of Words of Grace, we feature a recent sermon from the pulpit of Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, reminding us that our greatest identity isn’t found in any earthly title or role, but in belonging to Jesus. Every blessing of salvation — being chosen, redeemed, and made new — is found in Christ.

Join us as we lift our eyes to the One for whom all things exist and in whom every believer finds purpose and peace.

The Blessing of Family

In this episode of Words of Grace, we share Pastor Winslett’s message on The Blessing of Family. From the very beginning, God established marriage as the oldest institution, teaching us through family relationships about His own love and care for His people. Drawing from Genesis, Ephesians, and the Psalms, this sermon reminds us that family is both a precious gift in this life and a glimpse of the greater, perfect family awaiting us in eternity with Christ.

Listen in as we reflect on the joys and struggles of family life, the deeper intent behind marriage, and the promise of our everlasting home with the Lord.

Worship: Types and Motivations | Compelled to Worship, Part 2

In last week’s Words of Grace, we began considering the question: what compels us to worship God? After defining worship from Scripture, we now turn to the ways it is expressed and the motivations behind it.

In this message, Pastor Ben Winslett looks at the types of worship—spontaneous praise, private devotion, and corporate gathering—and then asks what truly drives us to worship. From the finished work of Christ that makes worship acceptable, to the changed heart that longs for God, to life’s providences and the encouragement of others, we see how worship is both enabled and compelled by the grace of God.

Join us as we continue this study on what it means to worship in spirit and in truth. Continue reading “Worship: Types and Motivations | Compelled to Worship, Part 2”

Defining Worship | Compelled to Worship, Part 1

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what truly compels us to worship God? In this edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett begins a two-part message on the subject of worship.

Drawing from both Old and New Testaments, we explore the rich meaning of worship—bowing before the Lord, serving Him, and revering His name. Scripture shows us that worship is never random or empty ritual, but a heartfelt response to encounters with the living God.

Join us as we look at the biblical foundation of worship and consider what it means to approach God in humility, reverence, and service.
