From Ruin to Restoration | Present Evil World, Part 2

In this week’s Words of Grace broadcast, we share the second half of Pastor Winslett’s sermon entitled “Present Evil World.” Picking up in Galatians 1:4, Ben traces the Bible’s sweeping contrast between the world as God originally created it and the world as it now stands—fallen, broken, and filled with sorrow. But through Christ, who gave Himself for our sins according to the will of the Father, we are not only saved from sin and wrath, but from this present evil age itself.

This salvation, planned before the world began and accomplished by the triune God, points us to something far greater: a world to come, where righteousness dwells, death is no more, and God Himself is our comfort and light. Join us as we conclude this sobering yet hope-filled message of gospel assurance.

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.
