The Beauty in Repentance, Part 1

How should we respond to repentance, whether it’s our own, or something we see in someone else? When confronted with our sin, shame and fear often rise quickly. And when another person repents, our fallen instincts can lean toward skepticism, cynicism, or judgment rather than grace.

Today on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a message that examines repentance through the lens of Scripture, challenging common assumptions and misconceptions. Rather than presenting repentance as something ugly or humiliating, this broadcast begins to uncover the beauty found in repentance as God Himself defines it, setting the stage for a hopeful and gospel-centered perspective worth hearing.

A Good Time for Change

As we begin a new year together, this first broadcast of 2026 turns our attention to a timeless biblical theme: repentance. While the start of a new year often prompts reflection and resolutions, Scripture consistently calls God’s people to something deeper than surface-level change, a true turning of the heart and mind.

In this message, we consider the preaching of John the Baptist, the message of Jesus, and the proclamation of the apostles, all united by the same call: Repent and believe the gospel. We explore what repentance is, where it comes from, and how God’s goodness leads His people toward it.

The Church at Laodicea

Concluding our series on Jesus’ “mini-epistles” to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, we look at the church in the worst shape of them all: Laodicea. Wealthy, proud, and apathetic, Jesus basically tells this church they nauseate Him. Even then, there was hope as repentance awaited at the door.
