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.”

It’s All About Christ!

Everything about the Christian faith centers on one glorious truth — it’s all about Christ. From creation to redemption, from our new birth to our eternal home, all things are of Him, through Him, and to Him.

In this edition of Words of Grace, we feature a recent sermon from the pulpit of Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, reminding us that our greatest identity isn’t found in any earthly title or role, but in belonging to Jesus. Every blessing of salvation — being chosen, redeemed, and made new — is found in Christ.

Join us as we lift our eyes to the One for whom all things exist and in whom every believer finds purpose and peace.

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 Temptation, from Luke Chapter 4

In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett considers Luke’s record of the temptation, showing us both the absolute righteousness of our Savior and the subtle strategies of the enemy. Be encouraged: Jesus overcame where we would have failed. His victory is not only our example in resisting temptation, but also the very foundation of our salvation!

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.

The Blessing of Family

In this episode of Words of Grace, we share Pastor Winslett’s message on The Blessing of Family. From the very beginning, God established marriage as the oldest institution, teaching us through family relationships about His own love and care for His people. Drawing from Genesis, Ephesians, and the Psalms, this sermon reminds us that family is both a precious gift in this life and a glimpse of the greater, perfect family awaiting us in eternity with Christ.

Listen in as we reflect on the joys and struggles of family life, the deeper intent behind marriage, and the promise of our everlasting home with the Lord.

Worship: Types and Motivations | Compelled to Worship, Part 2

In last week’s Words of Grace, we began considering the question: what compels us to worship God? After defining worship from Scripture, we now turn to the ways it is expressed and the motivations behind it.

In this message, Pastor Ben Winslett looks at the types of worship—spontaneous praise, private devotion, and corporate gathering—and then asks what truly drives us to worship. From the finished work of Christ that makes worship acceptable, to the changed heart that longs for God, to life’s providences and the encouragement of others, we see how worship is both enabled and compelled by the grace of God.

Join us as we continue this study on what it means to worship in spirit and in truth. Continue reading “Worship: Types and Motivations | Compelled to Worship, Part 2”

Defining Worship | Compelled to Worship, Part 1

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what truly compels us to worship God? In this edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett begins a two-part message on the subject of worship.

Drawing from both Old and New Testaments, we explore the rich meaning of worship—bowing before the Lord, serving Him, and revering His name. Scripture shows us that worship is never random or empty ritual, but a heartfelt response to encounters with the living God.

Join us as we look at the biblical foundation of worship and consider what it means to approach God in humility, reverence, and service.

Beautiful In Its Time | Ecclesiastes 3

Life is made up of seasons—some filled with joy, others with sorrow. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that every phase, whether it feels like a beginning or an ending, has its place.

In this broadcast, Pastor Ben Winslett takes us through Solomon’s timeless words to show how every chapter of life, even the ones we don’t understand, can hold beauty when viewed through the eyes of faith.

📖 Scripture references: Ecclesiastes 3:1–11, Psalm 139, Colossians 1:16, 2 Chronicles 16:9
