The Beauty in Repentance, Part 1

How should we respond to repentance, whether it’s our own, or something we see in someone else? When confronted with our sin, shame and fear often rise quickly. And when another person repents, our fallen instincts can lean toward skepticism, cynicism, or judgment rather than grace.

Today on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a message that examines repentance through the lens of Scripture, challenging common assumptions and misconceptions. Rather than presenting repentance as something ugly or humiliating, this broadcast begins to uncover the beauty found in repentance as God Himself defines it, setting the stage for a hopeful and gospel-centered perspective worth hearing.

Who Exactly is Shiloh?

In this Christmas-season episode of Words of Grace, we consider one of the earliest and most beautiful promises of Christ found in the Old Testament. From Jacob’s prophetic words in Genesis 49, we’re introduced to the mysterious name Shiloh—the One to whom the gathering of the people would be, long understood as a promise of the coming Messiah.

We then follow that promise into the book of Isaiah, where the child to be born is revealed as Emmanuel, God with us—the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, and the Prince of Peace. The episode concludes in Psalm 8, reflecting on the wonder of the incarnation: that the eternal Son of God humbled Himself, becoming a little lower than the angels, taking on our humanity to redeem His people.

As you listen, may your heart be drawn not only to the warmth of the Christmas season, but to the ancient promises that find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Crushing the Head of the Serpent

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett takes us to Genesis 1–3 to consider the earliest proclamation of the gospel and God’s promise of redemption. From the goodness of creation, to the fall of our first parents, Scripture reveals Christ as the Seed of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head.

Genesis 3:15, often called the protoevangelium or first gospel, points forward to the virgin birth, the incarnation of the Son of God, and Christ’s decisive victory over Satan. In the garden, we see God seeking the sinner, providing a covering through the shedding of blood, and preaching the gospel Himself – establishing the pattern of salvation by grace.
