Grace ‘Tis a Charming Sound

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, ’Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve. But, Scripture paints a very different picture of how sinners are saved. From Romans 3 to Ephesians 2, Pastor Winslett explains that salvation cannot come by human effort. Instead, the undeniable message of the gospel is that we are saved by grace alone—unmerited favor from a sovereign God.

Listen now and be refreshed by the sweet sound of God’s sovereign grace!

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.”

The Importance of Making Disciples

In today’s edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns our attention to the Great Commission — the lasting instruction Jesus gave His disciples before ascending into heaven. Each gospel record closes with a similar theme: the crucifixion, the resurrection, the commission, and the ascension.

Though salvation is entirely the Lord’s work, it is through the preaching of the gospel that disciples are made from among those whom God has quickened. Pastor Winslett explores the unique emphases in each Gospel account, the apostolic authority of this commission, and the continuing responsibility of the church to support the ministry through prayer, service, and encouragement.

Join us as we reflect on this sacred charge and the pattern seen throughout the book of Acts, where the Lord added daily to the church through faithful gospel labor.

The Believer’s Role in Societal Chaos

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett addresses the troubling events that weigh heavily on our hearts—political violence, mass shootings, wars, and the moral decline so evident in our world today. With Scripture as our guide, we ask the simple yet urgent question: What are we supposed to do?

Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Winslett reminds us of our calling to be salt and light, to embrace the Beatitudes, to pray for even our enemies, and to live in such a way that reflects the peace of Christ in a chaotic world. From Matthew 24 and Romans 1 to the powerful exhortation of Romans 12—Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good—this message calls us back to our true purpose as disciples of Jesus.

In this broadcast, Pastor Benjamin Winslett shares the story of these two faithful servants and reflects on the lessons they teach us about devotion, hope, and the joy of salvation.

Be Strong! Be Brave!

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett reflects on the biblical call to “be strong.” We live in a world filled with trials and troubles, and Scripture reminds us again and again that true strength is not found in ourselves, but in the Lord. From the stories of Gideon and Samson, to the encouragements of Hebrews 11, and the command given to Joshua after Moses’ passing, we see that strength comes by faith in God’s power, not human grit alone.

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth (Matthew 5:38-42)
In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett explores Jesus’ powerful teachings on forgiveness and charity from the Sermon on the Mount. What does it truly mean to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give to those who ask? These verses confront our natural instincts for retaliation and call us to reflect the gracious heart of Christ—even in difficult circumstances.

As we unpack these commands, we’re reminded that Jesus not only taught these truths but perfectly lived them. He didn’t resist evil, but willingly endured the cross for us. This message calls us not only to strive for personal obedience but to rest in the righteousness of the One who fulfilled the law on our behalf.

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.
