A Deeper Understanding of the 7th Commandment

In this weekend’s edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett continues our study through the Sermon on the Mount with a message titled “A Deeper Understanding of the 7th Commandment.” While many view the commandment against adultery in strictly physical terms, Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 reveals a far more convicting and heart-searching standard — one that exposes each of us as guilty and in need of grace.

In a culture confused about sexual ethics, this message boldly addresses what the Bible defines as sexual immorality, clearing away both modern confusion and pharisaical misapplications. From lustful thoughts to marital unfaithfulness, from the misuse of church discipline to the hope of redemption, Pastor Winslett offers biblical clarity, practical truth, and a strong reminder: our only hope of righteousness is through Jesus Christ.

Join us for this timely and sobering message from Words of Grace. Continue reading “A Deeper Understanding of the 7th Commandment”

God’s Commandments Are Not Grievous!

Start your year with a biblical perspective on God’s commands in this episode of Words of Grace with Ben Winslett. Exploring 1 John 5, we reflect on John’s assertion that God’s commandments are not grievous. What does it mean that His commands are not heavy or unbearable, as compared to Old Testament law or Pharisaic burdens? How can we find joy and purpose in obedience to Christ as a response to grace?

Along the way, Ben also offers thoughtful insights on New Year’s resolutions and how moments of reflection can help us grow in faith and discipleship. Whether committing to a Bible reading plan, renewing your prayer life, or worshiping more regularly, this episode will encourage you to take the light yoke of Christ and walk in His love.

Stay tuned as we begin this fresh year grounded in His Word.
