The Divine Perspective of Repentance

On this episode of Words of Grace, we consider The Divine Perspective of Repentance from Luke chapter 15. Using the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son, this message looks beyond repentance as merely a human act and focuses instead on God’s response when His children return to Him.

Jesus’ parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and finally the lost son reveal a consistent truth: the value is placed by the owner, the recovery is initiated by the owner, and the rejoicing belongs to the owner. Whether repentance follows a dramatic fall, a “respectable” sin, or a slow spiritual drift, heaven responds with joy when sinners repent.

This broadcast reminds us that the Father’s house is still open, His mercy is real, and His grace is greater than our sin!

The Beauty in Repentance, Part 2

In Part 2 of The Beauty in Repentance on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues the discussion by examining how Scripture itself frames repentance, and how God responds when it occurs.

This episode looks at several biblical contexts in which repentance appears, including the role of godly sorrow and the goodness of God in leading His people to turn again toward Him. Rather than treating repentance as something to be doubted or feared, this message points listeners to a perspective shaped by grace and restoration.

The broadcast concludes by lifting our eyes to the heavenly view of repentance, where Jesus teaches that repentance is met not with suspicion, but with joy. If Part 1 challenged how repentance is often perceived, Part 2 completes the picture by showing why repentance is truly beautiful in the sight of God.

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.

Jesus’ Encounter with Legalism

In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns to Luke 6 to consider Jesus’ encounter with the heavy hand of legalism. In these familiar passages, the Pharisees condemn Christ and His disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath and later challenge Him for restoring a man’s withered hand on another Sabbath. Yet Jesus reveals the true intent of God’s law: not as a burden to break souls, but as a blessing to sustain life. Join Pastor Winslett as he explores the contrast between the crushing weight of man-made legalism and the gracious rest we find in the Lord of the Sabbath Himself. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #wordsOfGrace #primitivebaptist #FlintRiverPBC #Jesus #Legalism #Luke6 #Sabbath #Grace

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!

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.

Two Special Saints

In Luke’s Gospel, we read of two remarkable older saints, Simeon and Anna, who were blessed to behold the Lord Jesus when He was brought into the temple. Their lives of faith remind us that God honors those who wait upon Him, and that true consolation and redemption are found in Christ alone.

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.

God’s Chosen Servant | Isaiah 42

This week on Words of Grace, we turn to Isaiah 42 for a stirring look at God’s Chosen Servant — a prophecy that reveals the mission and character of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike the conquering political figure many first-century Jews anticipated, Christ came in gentleness, mercy, and unwavering purpose. He didn’t clamor for attention or crush the weak. Instead, He upheld the bruised reed and rekindled the smoking flax, ministering hope to the broken. Though quiet in demeanor, He accomplished what no other could: full and final redemption for His people.

Join Pastor Ben Winslett as he unpacks this passage in light of its New Testament fulfillment and points us to the victorious, compassionate Savior who will not fail nor be discouraged. Continue reading “God’s Chosen Servant | Isaiah 42”

What Are You Building?

In this follow-up to last week’s message, we return to the wisdom of Proverbs to examine the patterns and traits that can either strengthen or undermine the foundation of our lives. Pastor Ben Winslett challenges us to consider: What are we building? Are we framing our lives with the solid materials of God’s Word, or are we slipping into dangerous behaviors that weaken our spiritual house?

Drawing from the contrast between the fruit of the Spirit and the lusts of the flesh, this broadcast highlights how scripture equips us for every good work, steering us away from pitfalls and guiding us in paths of righteousness. From our friendships and speech to our work ethic and trust in God, today’s message offers both warnings and encouragements for everyday living.
