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.

This Ministry

Sharing a recent exposition of 2 Corinthians 4 from the pulpit of Flint River, Ben Winslett speaks to several aspects of the ministry. First, the singularity of it. There is but one gospel ministry. Secondly, ministers commend themselves to the consciences of their hearers. Lastly, the condition of the heart affects the reception of the gospel! Join us for this informative message from Paul’s second epistle to the church at Corinth.

We Believe in Ministerial Authority

Today on Words of Grace, we come to our final message in our series on the standard Statement of Faith or Abstract of Principles of historic Baptists in the United States and also Primitive Baptists of today, a document which we commonly refer to as the Articles of Faith.

The subject matter of today’s Article has to do with what we will call ministerial authority. While this might seem like a strange point of view to include in a document as important as the articles of faith, it’s actually very fitting to include it!

Article 12. We believe that no minister has a right to administration of the ordinances, only such as are regularly baptized, called, and come under the imposition of hands by a presbytery.
