Raised According to the Will of God

In today’s broadcast, we turn to John chapter 6 and consider one of the most comforting truths in all of Scripture: that the resurrection of God’s people is rooted firmly in the will of God Himself. Jesus declares that all whom the Father has given Him will be raised up again at the last day, and that He will lose nothing. What does it mean for your eternal future to rest not in your strength, but in God’s sovereign purpose?

From John 6 to Romans 8 and Ephesians 1, we trace the unbreakable chain of salvation. The elect was foreknown, predestinated, called, justified, and will ultimately be glorified. This message reminds us that the same God who purposed salvation before the foundation of the world will surely complete it in the resurrection, raising His people incorruptible according to His will.

Hurdles to Fruitfulness

On this episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett brings a message from Matthew 13 on the parable of the sower, focusing on a theme that speaks directly to every believer: “Hurdles to Fruitfulness.”

While this familiar parable is often understood as describing different kinds of hearers, the Lord Jesus applies it in a deeply personal way with the exhortation, “Take heed therefore how ye hear.” In this message, we consider how that warning applies to us as disciples, and why it is that the word of God sometimes fails to bear fruit in our lives as it should.

Why Are His Garments Red?

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a sobering question about the victorious figure introduced in the opening verse: “Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues this message by focusing on the work of the One who is mighty to save.

The imagery of the winepress presents a vivid picture of judgment, as well as the reality that Christ accomplished redemption by His own power. This passage declares that He trod the winepress alone, with none to help, securing salvation for His people while also bringing judgment upon His enemies.

Mighty To Save

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a striking question. “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah… this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?” The answer comes with authority: “I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a study of this powerful passage and introduces the identity of the conquering figure Isaiah saw.

This message focuses on the opening verse of the passage and the declaration that the Messiah is mighty to save. While Isaiah 53 shows Christ as the suffering servant who bore the sins of his people, Isaiah 63 reveals him as the victorious Redeemer who comes in strength to deliver his people and judge their enemies.

Biblical Forms of Liberty

On this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the biblical theme of liberty and what true freedom looks like according to the Word of God. Beginning with Old Testament foundations such as the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25 and the prophetic promise of liberty in Isaiah 61, this message shows how these earlier pictures pointed forward to the greater freedom that would come through Jesus Christ.

Moving into the New Testament, this episode examines several forms of liberty believers enjoy in Christ: freedom from the penalty of sin, freedom from the dominion of sin, freedom from the Old Testament law as a covenant of righteousness, and freedom from ignorance through the truth of God’s Word.

Finally, the message considers how Christians should wisely use their liberty…never for the flesh, and never in a way that harms others; reminding us that true Christian freedom is both a gift to celebrate and a responsibility to handle with wisdom!

An Interrupted Funeral Procession

On today’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Winslett takes us to a small Galilean town called Nain in Gospel of Luke chapter 7, where a funeral procession meets the Prince of Life.

A widow, already burdened by the loss of her husband, now follows the bier of her only son. In any  culture, this tragic and heartbreaking. But in that day, this was devastation; her support, her security, her future provision were gone in a moment. But as this procession of death moves forward, it is suddenly interrupted by the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this message, we consider the compassion of Christ, the authority of Christ over death itself, and the hope that only He can give. When Jesus says, “Weep not,” it is not a dismissal of sorrow, but a declaration of power. There is no situation too far gone for Him to overturn.

Lessons from the Seventy

In Luke chapter 10, the Lord appointed seventy disciples and sent them ahead of Him into the places He would soon visit. We don’t know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett looks at the Lord’s instructions to these men and what they teach us about gospel labor, the reality of opposition, and the present power of the Kingdom of God. The harvest is still great. Laborers are still few. And while the seventy returned rejoicing in what they were able to do, Jesus pointed them to a far greater joy, that their names were written in heaven.

Join us as we consider these enduring lessons from the seventy in Luke 10:1–20.

What Has The Preeminence, Part 2

In this concluding portion of the message, Pastor Benjamin Winslett continues examining the preeminence of Christ and the place He rightly holds in the hearts and lives of His people. Scripture not only calls us to confess Christ as King, but to live in devoted loyalty to His kingdom above all earthly attachments.

Looking to the example of the apostles who left all to follow Jesus and the solemn warning given to the church at Ephesus, this message presses a searching question upon us: what might we allow to rise in prominence over Christ? With pastoral clarity and biblical conviction, Pastor Winslett urges us to keep our Lord first in affection, allegiance, and devotion.

What Has the Preeminence? | Part 1

In this edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett begins a message centered on a vital biblical question: what truly has the preeminence in our lives? Drawing from Colossians 1:18, we are reminded that Christ is not only our Savior, but our King—first in rank and first in influence.

This first portion of the message explores our identity as citizens of a kingdom not of this world, the present reality of Christ’s kingdom, and the devotion it calls for from those who belong to it. Using Scripture, illustration, and thoughtful reflection, Pastor Winslett invites us to examine where our loyalties rest and whether Christ truly holds the highest place in our hearts.

This message is part one of a two-part series and was delivered at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church. Be sure to join us next time for the continuation of this important subject!
