A Christ Who Hears

Have you ever felt uncertain about whether God hears your prayers? In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett shares a message of deep reassurance from Luke 4, Isaiah 61, Psalm 72, Matthew 8, and Hebrews 4. From the moment Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from Isaiah to the many times He answered cries for help during His earthly ministry, we see a consistent truth: Christ hears and responds to the needs of His people.

Whether you’re struggling, seeking guidance, or simply in need of comfort, this message reminds us that we can always go to Jesus—and He will say, “I will.”

Those who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

In this episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett explores Matthew 5:6, in which Jesus said “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” This longing for righteousness is a sign of spiritual life, showing that a person has been born again. Just as physical hunger indicates life, spiritual hunger reveals the presence of the new nature given by God. And, this craving is ONLY satisfied through the gospel, prayer, and worship.
