A Deeper Understanding of God’s Law

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett brings a powerful message from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Matthew 5:21–48. Many people misread this passage as Jesus opposing the Law of Moses, but as you’ll hear today, Christ wasn’t criticizing the law—He was explaining it more deeply. This message unpacks the spirit behind the commandments: issues of the heart like anger, lust, vengeance, and hypocrisy. You’ll see how these teachings expose both God’s holiness and our need for grace. Thankfully, Christ not only taught the law—He fulfilled it in full, then bore its penalty for His people.

This message is part of our ongoing series through the Sermon on the Mount. Be encouraged today by the truth that while God’s standard is perfection, Jesus Christ has fulfilled it on behalf of His people.

Those who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

In this episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett explores Matthew 5:6, in which Jesus said “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” This longing for righteousness is a sign of spiritual life, showing that a person has been born again. Just as physical hunger indicates life, spiritual hunger reveals the presence of the new nature given by God. And, this craving is ONLY satisfied through the gospel, prayer, and worship.
