A Deeper Understanding of God’s Law

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett brings a powerful message from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Matthew 5:21–48. Many people misread this passage as Jesus opposing the Law of Moses, but as you’ll hear today, Christ wasn’t criticizing the law—He was explaining it more deeply. This message unpacks the spirit behind the commandments: issues of the heart like anger, lust, vengeance, and hypocrisy. You’ll see how these teachings expose both God’s holiness and our need for grace. Thankfully, Christ not only taught the law—He fulfilled it in full, then bore its penalty for His people.

This message is part of our ongoing series through the Sermon on the Mount. Be encouraged today by the truth that while God’s standard is perfection, Jesus Christ has fulfilled it on behalf of His people.

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.

Resting in Hope

In this week’s edition of Words of Grace, we share a recent message by Ben Winslett from the 16th Psalm.

Psalm 16, a Messianic Psalm, reminds us that because Christ was raised from the dead, our flesh can rest in hope. Trust and hope—two crucial words—offer us peace in the face of loss. Trusting in God means placing our loved ones in His hands, knowing that death is inevitable but not final. Hope, in the biblical sense, is not mere wishful thinking but a confident expectation rooted in God’s promises.

Romans 8:29-30 beautifully outlines the unbreakable chain of our salvation: foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified. From eternity past to eternity future, God preserves His people. As Psalm 23 so powerfully declares, even as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil, for the Lord is with us.

Because Christ has conquered death, we can rest in hope and trust in the preservation of our souls.
