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.

Walking by Faith

In 2 Corinthians 5, there is a short but powerful parenthetical statement which reads, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” In today’s radio program, a follow-up from last week’s on the new birth, we consider first what faith is and then, what it means to walk by it.

Sadly, the reality of what faith is has been lost to many believers in our present day. Far beyond mere mental ascent, faith is actually Christ living in you (Gal 2:20)! This intimate personal knowledge of God (Heb 8) is sparked at the new birth, a knowledge Jesus described as eternal life itself (Jn 17).

Join us for pastor Winslett’s message, Walking by Faith.

Join us for this exploration of the biblical concept of joy on this episode of Words of Grace.

Beware This Leaven

Borrowing from a warning Jesus’ issued about the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Ben Winslett warns against a concept popular among some conservative evangelicals that many times leads to either to pride or discouragement: Lordship salvation.

The Special, Uniqueness of Faith

One of the most commonly spoken of but least understood concepts among the Christian world is faith. We’re all familiar with the term. We all hear it and use it often. And to some level, most Christians have some sort of a working knowledge of it. But arguably, biblically speaking, the common understanding of it barely scratches the surface of the true reality of faith. Join us for this week’s program for more.
