Jesus’ Encounter with Legalism

In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns to Luke 6 to consider Jesus’ encounter with the heavy hand of legalism. In these familiar passages, the Pharisees condemn Christ and His disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath and later challenge Him for restoring a man’s withered hand on another Sabbath. Yet Jesus reveals the true intent of God’s law: not as a burden to break souls, but as a blessing to sustain life. Join Pastor Winslett as he explores the contrast between the crushing weight of man-made legalism and the gracious rest we find in the Lord of the Sabbath Himself. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #wordsOfGrace #primitivebaptist #FlintRiverPBC #Jesus #Legalism #Luke6 #Sabbath #Grace

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth (Matthew 5:38-42)
In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett explores Jesus’ powerful teachings on forgiveness and charity from the Sermon on the Mount. What does it truly mean to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give to those who ask? These verses confront our natural instincts for retaliation and call us to reflect the gracious heart of Christ—even in difficult circumstances.

As we unpack these commands, we’re reminded that Jesus not only taught these truths but perfectly lived them. He didn’t resist evil, but willingly endured the cross for us. This message calls us not only to strive for personal obedience but to rest in the righteousness of the One who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
