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”

From Ruin to Restoration | Present Evil World, Part 2

In this week’s Words of Grace broadcast, we share the second half of Pastor Winslett’s sermon entitled “Present Evil World.” Picking up in Galatians 1:4, Ben traces the Bible’s sweeping contrast between the world as God originally created it and the world as it now stands—fallen, broken, and filled with sorrow. But through Christ, who gave Himself for our sins according to the will of the Father, we are not only saved from sin and wrath, but from this present evil age itself.

This salvation, planned before the world began and accomplished by the triune God, points us to something far greater: a world to come, where righteousness dwells, death is no more, and God Himself is our comfort and light. Join us as we conclude this sobering yet hope-filled message of gospel assurance.

The Prosperity of the Wicked | Present Evil World, Part 1

In this week’s edition of Words of Grace, we begin a two-part message titled “This Present Evil World.” Drawing from Galatians 1:4, Pastor Ben Winslett explores the painful realities of life in a fallen world—where tragedy, injustice, and sorrow are all too common. Referencing Isaiah 57 and Psalm 73, today’s episode considers why the righteous often perish early while the wicked seem to prosper, and how Scripture helps us make sense of it all.

Though this world is marred by sin, God’s word offers deep comfort: Christ gave Himself to deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of the Father. Join us for this sobering yet hope-filled message.
