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

The Fulfilled Law

In today’s edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett returns to the Sermon on the Mount with a powerful message from Matthew 5:17-20, titled “The Fulfilled Law.” Many sincere Christians wrestle with the role of the Old Testament law in the New Covenant era. Should we observe dietary laws? Keep Saturday as the Sabbath? Is our righteousness determined by works? Jesus’ words in this passage offer both clarity and comfort.

Far from destroying the law, Jesus fulfilled it—completing its demands perfectly on behalf of His people. Join us as we explore what this means for believers today: freedom from the Mosaic law, true righteousness through Christ, and the liberty that comes from the New Covenant.
