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.

God’s Chosen Servant | Isaiah 42

This week on Words of Grace, we turn to Isaiah 42 for a stirring look at God’s Chosen Servant — a prophecy that reveals the mission and character of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike the conquering political figure many first-century Jews anticipated, Christ came in gentleness, mercy, and unwavering purpose. He didn’t clamor for attention or crush the weak. Instead, He upheld the bruised reed and rekindled the smoking flax, ministering hope to the broken. Though quiet in demeanor, He accomplished what no other could: full and final redemption for His people.

Join Pastor Ben Winslett as he unpacks this passage in light of its New Testament fulfillment and points us to the victorious, compassionate Savior who will not fail nor be discouraged. Continue reading “God’s Chosen Servant | Isaiah 42”

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

In this insightful episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the profound meaning behind Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Is it about enforcing peace through strength, or is there a deeper, more Christlike approach?

Ben discusses the distinction between peacekeepers and peacemakers, emphasizing the role of diplomacy and reconciliation. Drawing from Scripture, including Proverbs and the example of John the Baptist, he highlights how fostering peace mirrors the character of Christ, the ultimate peacemaker. This episode also reminds us that true peace is not mere capitulation; sometimes reconciliation requires addressing offenses.

As Christians, we are called to reflect our Savior, the Prince of Peace, in how we mediate and bring calm to a divided world. Join us as we examine this crucial Beatitude and the calling to reflect God’s nature through peacemaking.

We Believe in the Scriptures

Today we continue our recent series on the Articles of Faith, a general founding document which serves as a basic expression of truths we consider nonnegotiable to be in fellowship with our churches.  As historic Baptists, we believe that the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, the scriptures, and as such constitute our only rule of faith and practice. In this broadcast, we expand on exactly what that means and how it applies to the church today. Listen to learn more!

The Only God

Recently, a popular Bible software company published a documentary asserting that Jehovah rules over a council of lesser deities. This view is beyond troubling, venturing squarely into the arena of actual heresy. In today’s broadcast, Ben Winslett challenges this view and properly applies the passages of scripture proponents of such twist, using the very teachings of Christ to set the record straight.
