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.

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.

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.
