Finding Rest in Christ

In today’s Words of Grace, Ben Winslett turns to Matthew 11 and Christ’s gracious invitation to the weary: “Come unto me… and I will give you rest.” This episode explores the burden of legalism, guilt, and striving—and the true rest found in Jesus’ finished work.

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.

Crushing the Head of the Serpent

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett takes us to Genesis 1–3 to consider the earliest proclamation of the gospel and God’s promise of redemption. From the goodness of creation, to the fall of our first parents, Scripture reveals Christ as the Seed of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head.

Genesis 3:15, often called the protoevangelium or first gospel, points forward to the virgin birth, the incarnation of the Son of God, and Christ’s decisive victory over Satan. In the garden, we see God seeking the sinner, providing a covering through the shedding of blood, and preaching the gospel Himself – establishing the pattern of salvation by grace.

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.

A Blessing To Those Who Mourn

In this broken world, mourning is a reality for all people. Addressing that, Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, we continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount by exploring Jesus’ statement: Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. What kind of mourning does Jesus mean? Who shall be comforted? How does the gospel bring comfort to those who grieve? Join us as we examine how God’s promises bring peace to the sorrowful, both in this life and in eternity.
