The Judgment, from Matthew’s Gospel (Part 2)

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, we share the second part of our study from Matthew chapter 25, in which we consider Christ’s words to the sheep, gathered on His right hand in the final judgment at the end of time.

More specifically, we consider the evidences of God’s work in their lives; the changes brought about by the new birth, as seen in their acts of mercy and kindness. Also, we learn the remarkable fact that the sheep themselves did not even realize the significance of what they had done, which shows a stark contrast between them and the self-centered goats.

The Judgment, from Matthew’s Gospel (Part 1)

In this first episode of a two-part study from Matthew chapter 25, we consider one of the most solemn subjects in all of Scripture: the final judgment.

When the Son of Man returns in His glory, accompanied by all the holy angels, He will sit upon the throne of His glory. The dead will be raised, all nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate mankind as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats.

In this episode, we examine the context of Matthew 25:31–33 and its connection to the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the great white throne judgment. We also consider the certainty and unmistakable nature of Christ’s return, the gathering of all people before Him, and the significance of Christ’s titles in this passage: the Son of Man, the King, and the Shepherd.

Finally, we consider the great division between the sheep and the goats—and the comforting truth that while we may not always be able to discern the difference, the Shepherd knows His sheep. Continue reading “The Judgment, from Matthew’s Gospel (Part 1)”

The Blessing of Fatherhood, Part 2

In this concluding message on biblical fatherhood, we consider the responsibilities God has entrusted to fathers and the privilege of reflecting our Heavenly Father’s love within the home. While the world often measures success by wealth, status, or achievement, Scripture reminds us that faithful fatherhood is one of God’s highest callings.

Join us as we examine what the Bible teaches about providing for our families, protecting those under our care, instructing our children in the truth of God’s Word, and bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We’ll also consider how the relationship between a loving father and his children points us to the compassion, mercy, and faithfulness of God Himself.

Introducing the Virtuous Woman

What does the Bible mean when it speaks of the “virtuous woman” in Proverbs 31? Is this passage merely an unattainable ideal, or does it present a God-honoring pattern for biblical womanhood?

In the first message of this two-part series, we begin exploring the inspired portrait of the virtuous woman, considering the character, wisdom, and godliness that distinguish her life. We also examine how Scripture presents these qualities as a blessing not only within the home but also among the people of God.

Join us as we begin this study of one of the Bible’s most beloved passages and consider God’s design for faithful, Christ-honoring womanhood.

Be Ye Holy

What does it really mean to “be holy”? Is holiness something we achieve through rule-keeping and personal effort, or does Scripture point us to something greater?

In this message, we examine the biblical call to holiness and discover that our standing before God is not based on our own righteousness but on the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. From that secure foundation, believers are exhorted to pursue lives that reflect His character, following the example of the One who is perfectly holy.

Join us as we consider the difference between positional and practical holiness, the purpose of God’s law, and why the pursuit of Christ is the true path to a holy life.

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.

Grace ‘Tis a Charming Sound

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, ’Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve. But, Scripture paints a very different picture of how sinners are saved. From Romans 3 to Ephesians 2, Pastor Winslett explains that salvation cannot come by human effort. Instead, the undeniable message of the gospel is that we are saved by grace alone—unmerited favor from a sovereign God.

Listen now and be refreshed by the sweet sound of God’s sovereign grace!
