An Example of Great Faith

In this week’s message, we turn to Luke 7 and the remarkable account of a Roman Centurion whose faith caused Jesus Himself to marvel. While the Jewish elders praised the man’s accomplishments and argued for his worthiness, the Centurion felt deeply unworthy—yet fully confident in Christ’s authority. His request was simple: “Just speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.”

In this episode, Pastor Benjamin Winslett explores the contrast between human perceptions of worthiness and the humility that marks true faith. We also consider the Centurion’s unique understanding of Jesus’ power to act “from a distance,” without any physical presence required.

Join us as we study this powerful example of great faith and learn what it teaches us about approaching Christ with humility, dependence, and trust.

The Poor In Spirit

The Sermon on the Mount, Part 1: The Poor in Spirit
In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett begins a new series on the Sermon on the Mount, considering Jesus’ powerful message from Matthew 5–7. This first lesson focuses on the phrase, “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

What does it mean to be “poor in spirit”? It’s not necessarily about financial status but recognizing our deep need for God. Pastor Winslett explains how true spiritual poverty is marked by humility, a broken heart over sin, and full dependence on Christ for salvation. This isn’t a condition to fear—it’s a blessing! Jesus promises that those who know their need for Him find joy, peace, and a place in His kingdom.

Tune in to discover the richness of this truth and how it applies to your life today.
