The God of Peace (Part 2)

In the concluding installment of this two-part message from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we move from the source of true peace to its practical application in the life of the believer. Having seen that God is the God of Peace and that Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, we now consider the blessings that flow from His finished work.

This episode examines the believer’s peace with God through the atoning work of Christ, the assurance and comfort found in the gospel, and the biblical call to pursue peace with others. Scripture teaches that the peace of God is not dependent upon favorable circumstances but upon the unchanging grace of God and the accomplished redemption of Jesus Christ.

In a world filled with turmoil, anxiety, and division, God’s people are called to rest in His promises, cultivate the fruit of the Spirit, and strive to live peaceably with one another. Join us as we conclude this study of one of Scripture’s most comforting themes and are reminded that the Lord not only gives peace, He is the God of Peace.

The God of Peace (Part 1)

The Bible speaks of peace hundreds of times, but what does true peace really mean? Is it merely the absence of conflict, or is there something far deeper? In this first installment of a two-part message from the pulpit of Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we begin a biblical study of peace from Genesis to Revelation.

This week, we’ll examine the Old Testament concept of peace, the meaning of shalom, the peace offering under the Law, and the transition to the New Testament emphasis on peace with God through Jesus Christ. We’ll also consider why Scripture calls the Lord the God of Peace, why Christ is the Prince of Peace, and how lasting peace is rooted in God’s own character rather than in the changing circumstances of this world.

Join us next week as we conclude this study by considering the peace of God in the believer’s life, reconciliation through Christ, assurance of salvation, and our calling to pursue peace with others.

The Blessing of Fatherhood, Part 2

In this concluding message on biblical fatherhood, we consider the responsibilities God has entrusted to fathers and the privilege of reflecting our Heavenly Father’s love within the home. While the world often measures success by wealth, status, or achievement, Scripture reminds us that faithful fatherhood is one of God’s highest callings.

Join us as we examine what the Bible teaches about providing for our families, protecting those under our care, instructing our children in the truth of God’s Word, and bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We’ll also consider how the relationship between a loving father and his children points us to the compassion, mercy, and faithfulness of God Himself.

In this first message of a two-part study, we examine the biblical purpose of fatherhood and the vital role fathers play in reflecting the love, leadership, and grace of our Heavenly Father.

While no earthly father is perfect, Scripture points us to a pattern of humility, compassion, forgiveness, and faithful leadership within the home. Join us as we begin this study of God’s design for fatherhood and discover why faithful fathers are such a blessing to their families, their churches, and future generations.

Introducing the Virtuous Woman

What does the Bible mean when it speaks of the “virtuous woman” in Proverbs 31? Is this passage merely an unattainable ideal, or does it present a God-honoring pattern for biblical womanhood?

In the first message of this two-part series, we begin exploring the inspired portrait of the virtuous woman, considering the character, wisdom, and godliness that distinguish her life. We also examine how Scripture presents these qualities as a blessing not only within the home but also among the people of God.

Join us as we begin this study of one of the Bible’s most beloved passages and consider God’s design for faithful, Christ-honoring womanhood.

Be Ye Holy

What does it really mean to “be holy”? Is holiness something we achieve through rule-keeping and personal effort, or does Scripture point us to something greater?

In this message, we examine the biblical call to holiness and discover that our standing before God is not based on our own righteousness but on the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. From that secure foundation, believers are exhorted to pursue lives that reflect His character, following the example of the One who is perfectly holy.

Join us as we consider the difference between positional and practical holiness, the purpose of God’s law, and why the pursuit of Christ is the true path to a holy life.

Crushing the Head of the Serpent

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett takes us to Genesis 1–3 to consider the earliest proclamation of the gospel and God’s promise of redemption. From the goodness of creation, to the fall of our first parents, Scripture reveals Christ as the Seed of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head.

Genesis 3:15, often called the protoevangelium or first gospel, points forward to the virgin birth, the incarnation of the Son of God, and Christ’s decisive victory over Satan. In the garden, we see God seeking the sinner, providing a covering through the shedding of blood, and preaching the gospel Himself – establishing the pattern of salvation by grace.
