What Has The Preeminence, Part 2

In this concluding portion of the message, Pastor Benjamin Winslett continues examining the preeminence of Christ and the place He rightly holds in the hearts and lives of His people. Scripture not only calls us to confess Christ as King, but to live in devoted loyalty to His kingdom above all earthly attachments.

Looking to the example of the apostles who left all to follow Jesus and the solemn warning given to the church at Ephesus, this message presses a searching question upon us: what might we allow to rise in prominence over Christ? With pastoral clarity and biblical conviction, Pastor Winslett urges us to keep our Lord first in affection, allegiance, and devotion.

What Has the Preeminence? | Part 1

In this edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett begins a message centered on a vital biblical question: what truly has the preeminence in our lives? Drawing from Colossians 1:18, we are reminded that Christ is not only our Savior, but our King—first in rank and first in influence.

This first portion of the message explores our identity as citizens of a kingdom not of this world, the present reality of Christ’s kingdom, and the devotion it calls for from those who belong to it. Using Scripture, illustration, and thoughtful reflection, Pastor Winslett invites us to examine where our loyalties rest and whether Christ truly holds the highest place in our hearts.

This message is part one of a two-part series and was delivered at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church. Be sure to join us next time for the continuation of this important subject!

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.
