"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever." What a beautiful declaration of faith from Psalm 73! We live in a world where terrible things happen, where our bodies fail, our hearts break, and life doesn't always make sense. But thank God, we have His word! The Bible explains why this world is filled with suffering, points us to the Lord as our strength and refuge, and assures us of the glory that awaits His people. Child of God, whatever you're facing today, remember that you know how the story ends. The Lord will guide us with His counsel and afterward receive us to glory!

When Life Falls Apart, Remember How the Story Ends!
One of the most important questions we can ask when reading the Bible is, "Saved from what?" Every time we encounter the word saved, we ought to consider what kind of deliverance the passage is describing. In Acts 2, Peter exhorted his hearers to save themselves from that untoward generation. He wasn't teaching them how to earn eternal life, but how to be delivered from the sinful ways of the world around them through obedience to Christ. Child of grace, there is a wonderful deliverance to be experienced in this life by following God's word, separating ourselves from the world's foolishness, and enjoying fellowship in the Lord's church!

Saved From What? A Question Every Bible Reader Should Ask!
Of all the ways God has demonstrated His grace in our salvation, perhaps none is more visible or profound than the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Father chose us in grace, the Spirit gives us life in grace, but the Son of God came into this world, lived righteously, suffered, bled, and died to redeem us from our sins. What the Father purposed and the Spirit applies, Jesus Christ purchased with His own blood. In this fourth message in our series, Unpacking Grace, we consider the doctrine of justification, exploring its meaning in Scripture and the different ways the Bible speaks of being justified. What is the difference between justification before God, justification by faith in our conscience, and justification by works before others? And when were God's people actually justified in His sight? Turning to Romans 8:29-30, Romans 5:9, Hebrews 10, and other passages, we examine the glorious truth that our eternal justification was accomplished through Christ's finished work on the cross, entirely by grace and apart from our works. Join us at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church as we continue unpacking the riches of God's grace in salvation. #UnpackingGrace #Justification #GraceOfGod #JesusChrist #FinishedWorkOfChrist #SovereignGrace #SalvationByGrace #PrimitiveBaptist #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptistChurch #Romans8
The Grace in Justification | Unpacking Grace, Part 4
The best we can hope for in this world is a mixture of joys and sorrows. If you came to church expecting to hear about living your best life now, I've got a different message for you! Jesus promised His people life more abundantly, but that doesn't mean a life free from pain, sickness, hardship, or sorrow. The abundant life we have in Christ is found in knowing Him, worshiping Him, and enjoying fellowship with Him, even in the midst of life's troubles. As the old hymn reminds us, "Prisons would palaces prove, if Jesus would dwell with me there." What a wonderful reminder that our greatest blessing isn't a trouble-free life, but the presence of Christ!

Your Best Life Isn't Now!
Can a church be doctrinally sound, faithful in its works, diligent in defending the truth, and yet be in danger of losing its identity as a New Testament church? According to Jesus’ words to the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2, the answer is yes! Despite His remarkable commendation of this congregation, the Lord had one serious charge against them: They had left their first love. In this edition of Words of Grace, we consider the danger of becoming so consumed with fighting error that we lose sight of Christ Himself. While defending sound doctrine is an important responsibility, our devotion must never shift from worshipping Christ to merely defending the doctrines of Christ. Join us as we consider the Lord’s sobering warning to Ephesus, His call to repentance, and the glorious promise He gives to those who overcome.

The Church at Ephesus, Part 2
Have you ever had one of those wonderful days when everything just seemed right? You're sitting in church with your family, everyone is happy, your heart is full of the Lord, and you wish that moment could last forever. As wonderful as those moments are, they're only a foretaste of the glory that awaits us! Think about that. The very best moment you've ever experienced in this world cannot begin to compare with what God has prepared for His people. And unlike the joys of this life, the joy of heaven will never come to an end. We simply cannot comprehend how wonderful eternity with Christ will be!

The Best Day of Your Life Is Just a Foretaste of Heaven!
Some people dream of escaping this world by traveling to another planet. But I've got a much better hope than going to Mars! Through Jesus Christ, we have the promise of deliverance from this present evil world, not merely from its troubles, but from everything that has been affected by Adam's transgression. Think about that! Our hope isn't simply to relocate somewhere else in this fallen creation. It's to be delivered from the corruption of this present age altogether, even from time itself, into the eternal glory God has prepared for His people. What a glorious hope we have in Christ!

A Better Hope Than Going to Mars! Rescued From Time Into Eternity.
We often hear people ask, "Have you found Christ?" But I believe there's a much bigger question: Has Christ found me? Think about the shepherd and his lost sheep. The sheep doesn't go looking for the shepherd. The shepherd goes looking for the sheep! Before Christ found us, we weren't seeking Him. We were lost in our own carnality. But thank God, our salvation doesn't depend on a lost sheep finding its way home. Christ is the Good Shepherd, and He finds His sheep! And ultimately, no one can hide from Him. Every person will be found by Christ, whether in grace or in judgment.

Have You Found Christ, or Has Christ Found You?
What does it mean to be born again? Is the new birth something we accomplish through faith or religious works, or is it a sovereign work of God in the soul? Continuing our series Unpacking Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett considers the gracious work of the Holy Spirit in bringing sinners from death in sin to life in Christ. From Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3 to Paul's teachings in Ephesians 2, Scripture presents the new birth as a work of divine power, accomplished by the Spirit of God, rather than the will or efforts of man. But God's grace doesn't merely give us spiritual life. It changes us! Those who have been born of the Spirit are new creatures in Christ, created unto good works and equipped with spiritual fruit that we are called to cultivate in our daily lives. Join us at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church as we consider the miracle of regeneration, the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit, and the beautiful transformation that follows when God makes us alive in Christ. Scripture references: Romans 8:29-30, John 3:1-8, Ephesians 1-2, Titus 2:11-13, Titus 3:3-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:16-25. #UnpackingGrace #GraceInTheNewBirth #BornAgain #Regeneration #SovereignGrace #HolySpirit #SalvationByGrace #PrimitiveBaptist #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptist #BenWinslett #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching
Grace in The New Birth | Unpacking Grace, Part 3
Think about this. We consider gold to be one of the most valuable things in the world. But in Revelation, the streets of the heavenly city are described as pure gold! Nobody goes out to the parking lot and collects chunks of asphalt because they're valuable. Nobody fills a bucket with dirt from an old Alabama dirt road and treasures it. Yet what we value so highly here is pictured as pavement in glory! I believe that's a beautiful symbolic reminder that heaven is so much greater than anything this world has to offer. The most precious things we know here cannot begin to compare with the glory that awaits us.

In Heaven, Gold Is Just Pavement!
What happens when a church becomes so focused on defending the truth that it begins to lose sight of Christ Himself? This was the danger facing the church at Ephesus, the first of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor addressed by Jesus in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. Though Christ commended this congregation for its faithfulness, steadfastness, and commitment to sound doctrine, He also had a serious warning for them. In this edition of Words of Grace, we begin our examination of this remarkable congregation, considering its history, its leadership, and a sobering warning the Apostle Paul gave its elders in Acts chapter 20. As we explore the background of this church, we discover some important lessons about the necessity of defending the faith without losing sight of the One in whom our faith rests.

The Church at Ephesus, Part 1
Have you ever been with someone nearing the end of life who began speaking to people you couldn't see, or even spoke of seeing Jesus? Some dismiss these experiences as hallucinations or the effects of a dying brain. But I believe there may be something far more wonderful taking place. In Acts 7, as Stephen was being stoned to death, he saw heaven opened and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Could it be that some of God's children, as they approach death, are given a glimpse of the glory awaiting them? Could they be seeing the angels who will escort them home, or even Christ Himself? What a comforting thought for the children of God as we face our final moments in this present evil world! From the sermon "This Present Evil World," preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church.

Do Dying Christians Sometimes See Heaven Open?
Have you ever wondered why people who openly dishonor God sometimes seem to enjoy wealth, power, and an easy life, while God's children face hardship and affliction? One reason is that we belong to Christ! Just as loving parents set boundaries for their own children, our Heavenly Father sometimes tells us no. He chastens us because we are His children, and He deals with us as a loving Father. And we must also remember that we have an adversary. Satan is not a friend to God's people. He seeks to afflict those who belong to Christ. From the sermon "This Present Evil World," preached at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church.

Why Do the Wicked Prosper While God's Children Suffer?
When calamities strike and innocent children lose their lives, we naturally wonder, "Where is Jesus in all of this?" The comforting truth is that Jesus Christ is not absent in tragedy. He is delivering His children from the consequences of Adam's transgression and bringing them into His glorious presence. Though we grieve their loss here, those precious little ones are now in the presence of their Savior, before the throne of God. And we would not bring them back from where they are, even if we could!

Where Is Jesus When Tragedy Strikes?
Did you know the Bible describes God's grace toward His people before the world even began? In this second message of our Unpacking Grace series, Pastor Ben Winslett explores the biblical doctrine of election, examining God's sovereign choice of His people in Christ before the foundation of the world. Beginning with Romans 8:29-30 and Ephesians 1, we consider what Scripture teaches about foreknowledge, predestination, and God's eternal purpose in salvation. Far from being based on foreseen human merit or works, election is an expression of God's free and sovereign grace. We also explore how the gospel brings life and immortality to light, how believers find assurance through faith in Christ, and why the doctrine of election should encourage rather than discourage evangelism. Join us as we unpack this wonderful truth: Our salvation rests not upon our own will or accomplishments, but upon the mercy and grace of God! Scripture references: Romans 8:29-30; Romans 9; Ephesians 1:1-14; 2 Timothy 1:9-10; Titus 1; John 6, 10, 17; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5; Acts 2; Acts 13:48. #GraceInElection #UnpackingGrace #SovereignGrace #Election #Predestination #SalvationByGrace #PrimitiveBaptist #BiblePreaching #Romans8 #Ephesians1
