We Trust in God, Part 2

How can God’s people continue trusting Him when life brings suffering, loss, uncertainty, and hardship? In this concluding message our recent sermon series, Ben Winslett turns to several of Scripture’s greatest examples of faith and confidence in God during times of affliction.

From the remarkable testimony of Job, to the many Psalms that declare God’s faithfulness, the Bible repeatedly teaches believers to place their confidence in the Lord rather than in circumstances. The message concludes with the inspiring account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image and trusted God even in the face of a fiery furnace.

Whether God delivers His people through their trials or ultimately delivers them from this present world into glory, He remains worthy of their trust. This sermon encourages believers to rest in God’s providence, cling to His promises, and remember that He is present with His children in every trial they face.

Join us for the conclusion of “We Trust in God” on this week’s Words of Grace.

We Trust in God, Part 1

How do God’s people respond when life becomes difficult? When trials come unexpectedly, when fear threatens to overwhelm us, and when circumstances seem beyond our control, Scripture continually calls us to place our confidence in the Lord.

In this message from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Ben Winslett begins a study on trusting God in the midst of life’s afflictions. Drawing from the account of Jesus and His disciples on the Sea of Galilee, we consider Peter’s walk upon the water, the danger of taking our eyes off Christ, and the gracious way our Savior rescues His people when their faith falters.

This message also concludes a recent series on the resurrection, suffering, and the hope that God’s children possess through Jesus Christ. As believers, we are reminded that while troubles are inevitable in this world, God remains sovereign, faithful, and worthy of our trust.

Join us for Part 1 of “We Trust in God” on this week’s Words of Grace.

Trusting in Providence, Part 2: Elijah’s Story

In Part 2 of this study on God’s providence, Ben Winslett turns from the doctrine itself to several powerful biblical examples of God’s faithful provision. Scripture is filled with accounts of the Lord overruling circumstances, directing events, and caring for His people according to His perfect wisdom. We conclude with a brief consideration of God’s care of the prophet Elijah: from feeding him with ravens to food supplies that never become exhausted.

As we consider Elijah’s experience, we are encouraged to trust the same God who continues to care for His people today. The Lord who provided daily bread in the days of Elijah remains faithful to sustain His children in every generation.

Trusting in Providence (Part 1): God Provides

What does the providence of God really mean? Is God only involved in the extraordinary moments of life, or is His hand at work in every breath, every provision, and every circumstance we face?

In this broadcast of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett begins a study of God’s providence by exploring the biblical truth that the Lord not only created all things, but actively sustains and governs His creation. From the birds of the air to the lilies of the field, Scripture reminds us that God faithfully provides for His people and calls us to trust Him rather than be consumed with fear and worry.

Finding Rest in Christ

In today’s Words of Grace, Ben Winslett turns to Matthew 11 and Christ’s gracious invitation to the weary: “Come unto me… and I will give you rest.” This episode explores the burden of legalism, guilt, and striving—and the true rest found in Jesus’ finished work.

Raised According to the Will of God

In today’s broadcast, we turn to John chapter 6 and consider one of the most comforting truths in all of Scripture: that the resurrection of God’s people is rooted firmly in the will of God Himself. Jesus declares that all whom the Father has given Him will be raised up again at the last day, and that He will lose nothing. What does it mean for your eternal future to rest not in your strength, but in God’s sovereign purpose?

From John 6 to Romans 8 and Ephesians 1, we trace the unbreakable chain of salvation. The elect was foreknown, predestinated, called, justified, and will ultimately be glorified. This message reminds us that the same God who purposed salvation before the foundation of the world will surely complete it in the resurrection, raising His people incorruptible according to His will.

Why Are His Garments Red?

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a sobering question about the victorious figure introduced in the opening verse: “Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues this message by focusing on the work of the One who is mighty to save.

The imagery of the winepress presents a vivid picture of judgment, as well as the reality that Christ accomplished redemption by His own power. This passage declares that He trod the winepress alone, with none to help, securing salvation for His people while also bringing judgment upon His enemies.

Mighty To Save

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a striking question. “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah… this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?” The answer comes with authority: “I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a study of this powerful passage and introduces the identity of the conquering figure Isaiah saw.

This message focuses on the opening verse of the passage and the declaration that the Messiah is mighty to save. While Isaiah 53 shows Christ as the suffering servant who bore the sins of his people, Isaiah 63 reveals him as the victorious Redeemer who comes in strength to deliver his people and judge their enemies.

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!
