The Importance of Making Disciples

In today’s edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns our attention to the Great Commission — the lasting instruction Jesus gave His disciples before ascending into heaven. Each gospel record closes with a similar theme: the crucifixion, the resurrection, the commission, and the ascension.

Though salvation is entirely the Lord’s work, it is through the preaching of the gospel that disciples are made from among those whom God has quickened. Pastor Winslett explores the unique emphases in each Gospel account, the apostolic authority of this commission, and the continuing responsibility of the church to support the ministry through prayer, service, and encouragement.

Join us as we reflect on this sacred charge and the pattern seen throughout the book of Acts, where the Lord added daily to the church through faithful gospel labor.

Statements of God’s Sovereignty from Isaiah

The book of Isaiah among one of the most cited sources from the Old Testament, and for good reason. While Isaiah deals with contemporary issues to Israel, he also foretold many world events as well as giving many details about the coming Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Another theme of Isaiah, as we explore in today’s program, is the concept of God’s identity and sovereignty. Amidst a backdrop of coming captivity and restoration, God reveals His power, to the comfort of His people.

Biblical Principles for the Care of the Poor

While scripture does condemn laziness, it also consistently commands those with material resources to help and care for the impoverished.

Join us for this episode of Words of Grace, as Ben Winslett shares abundant scriptural references throughout the entire Bible revealing God’s heart on the matter of caring for the poor.
