In this insightful episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the profound meaning behind Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Is it about enforcing peace through strength, or is there a deeper, more Christlike approach? Ben discusses the distinction between peacekeepers and peacemakers, emphasizing the role of diplomacy and reconciliation. Drawing from Scripture, including Proverbs and the example of John the Baptist, he highlights how fostering peace mirrors the character of Christ, the ultimate peacemaker. This episode also reminds us that true peace is not mere capitulation; sometimes reconciliation requires addressing offenses. As Christians, we are called to reflect our Savior, the Prince of Peace, in how we mediate and bring calm to a divided world. Join us as we examine this crucial Beatitude and the calling to reflect God’s nature through peacemaking. Radio broadcast for March 23, 2025. Your browser does not support the audio element.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers
Death is a cold enemy that spares no one. One of the saddest parts of growing up is saying goodbye to loved ones—grandparents, parents, siblings, and even children. But if those we lose bore the fruit of the Spirit and knew Christ, we can be comforted by the gospel. Their grace-changed lives give us hope that they are with Him in glory, bringing peace even in our grief. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #deathandhope #comfortinthegospel #graceandglory #fruitoftheSpirit #assuranceinChrist #peaceamidgrief #heavenlyhope #faithoverfear #JesusourHope #griefandfaith #gospelassurance #victoryoverdeath
Finding Comfort in Loss - Embracing Hope After Goodbye
The gospel is a message of comfort to the elect of God. When we mourn over our sins and hear that Jesus died for sinners, we find assurance and peace which passeth all understanding. The gospel manifests our condition of life and promises that we are saved and forgiven by God's grace and mercy. If we look to ourselves, we find condemnation. But if we look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, we find sweet assurance and healing. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #gospelmessage #JesusSaves #assuranceofsalvation #peacebeyondunderstanding #forgivenbygrace #graceandmercy #electofGod #salvationbygrace #looktoJesus #faithnotworks #gospelcomfort #sweetassurance
The Power of the Gospel: Assurance in Our Salvation
The Good Shepherd watches over His sheep—even in the darkest valleys. Because He is with us, we need not fear. The Word of God brings comfort in times of mourning, disappointment, and trial. Trusting in Him, we find peace in knowing that He is our faithful Creator, Lord, and Shepherd. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #GoodShepherd, #FearNoEvil, #GodIsWithUs, #FaithfulCreator, #TrustTheLord, #ScriptureComfort, #BiblicalPeace, #GodsProvision, #MourningToJoy
Finding Comfort in Scripture: God as Our Good Shepherd
John’s words teach an important order in salvation. The new birth comes first—before confession, before belief, before repentance. The tense of these words reveals a key truth: Present-tense indwelling by God precedes future-tense confession of Christ. It’s a matter of cause and effect—if I confess Christ, it’s because God has already taken up residence in my heart. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #BornAgain, #GraceBeforeFaith, #NewBirthBeforeBelief, #CauseAndEffectSalvation, #ConfessingChrist, #SalvationByGrace, #ScriptureTruth
The Power Behind the Confession of Christ
John’s words about the Father sending the Son as Savior of the world are profound—especially when considered in the religious landscape of Jesus’ time. The Old Covenant was the true religion, given exclusively to Israel. Yet, it foretold of a day when all nations would worship God. This is what John highlights—Jesus came to save not only Israel, but people from every nation, kindred, and tongue. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #JesusSaves, #SaviorOfTheWorld, #GodsPlanForTheNations, #TheGospelToAll, #EveryNationEveryTongue, #ChristInTheOldTestament, #JewAndGentileUnited
How John Defines World in Savior of the World
John weaves together these powerful truths, showing us that love is central to both our relationship with God and with one another. If we claim to love God but hate our brother, we’re deceiving ourselves. True love for God manifests in love for others. When we walk in this love, we experience deep assurance of our salvation, closeness with God, and the casting out of fear. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #LoveOneAnother, #LoveAndAssurance, #GodsLovePerfected, #FaithInAction, #WalkingInLove, #OvercomingFear, #JohnsEpistle

The Lord Over the Weather
Who is the root of your fear? Who is the accuser of the brethren? Who seeks to destroy your peace, assurance, and joy in Christ? It is not the Lord. The enemy of your soul, Satan, uses fear to torment you. He knows exactly what will shake you, what will disturb your thoughts, and what will leave you in doubt. Why? Because he knows his time is short, and as a defeated foe, he seeks to afflict those who worship Christ. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #SpiritualWarfare, #OvercomingFear, #SatanTheAccuser, #FaithOverFear, #VictoryInChrist, #DefeatedFoe, #PeaceInChrist
Conquering Fear: Understanding Satan's Tactics Against You
What does it mean to be “pure in heart,” and how does this purity impact a believer’s life? In this episode of Words of Grace, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:8 and uncover the depth of their meaning. We examine the transformation God has worked in the heart of a believer, the contrast between a natural and a renewed heart, and the blessings that come with a heart set on Him. Join Pastor Benjamin Winslett as he unpacks biblical truths about purity, spiritual growth, and the glorious promise that the pure in heart shall see God—both in this life and in eternity. Tune in for this encouraging message from God’s Word! http://flintriverpbc.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/episode-0064-–-03-16-25-Blessed-Are-The-Pure-in-Heart.mp3 Blessed Are the Pure in Heart (http://flintriverpbc.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/episode-0064-–-03-16-25-Blessed-Are-The-Pure-in-Heart.mp3)
Blessed are the Pure in Heart
As Jesus hung upon the cross, who was He saving? The apostle John often uses the word world (cosmos in Greek) to emphasize that Jesus came to save people throughout the world—not just those from the nation of Israel. John had a habit of using cosmos more frequently than other writers, and when he applies it to salvation, his focus is clear: Christ has a people from every nation, kindred, and tongue. The world of the saved, which world is known by belief. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #SalvationInChrist, #BiblicalTruth, #CosmosInJohn, #JesusSaves, #TheWorldOfTheSaved, #GospelTruth, #EveryNationKindredTongue
Jesus Saves - Understanding the 'World' in John 3:16
The invitation to worship God is something we often take for granted. Churches today display signs saying, "You are invited to come to church." But do we realize the significance of this invitation? In the first century, Gentiles were not invited into the temple. A literal wall separated them from the Jews, with an inscription warning of death to any Gentile who dared to pass through. Yet now, through Christ, all who are saved—Jew or Gentile, bond or free, male or female—are welcomed into His house to worship Him. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #WorshipInChrist, #JewAndGentile, #TheMiddleWall, #SalvationForAll, #ChurchHistory, #BiblicalTruth, #GraceThroughFaith
From Excluded to Invited: Worshiping in Christ
The coming of the Son of God into the world is central to the gospel, the Bible, and the Word of God. Yet, this doctrine has been under attack since the days of Jesus Himself. John called those who denied Christ’s incarnation antichrists—and opposition to this truth continued for centuries. Even today, this vital doctrine is still challenged, and not even our denomination is immune. Some within our own ranks have denied that Jesus is the eternal Son of God. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #JesusIsGod, #Incarnation, #EternalSon, #Christology, #BiblicalDoctrine, #TruthUnderAttack, #FaithMatters
The Attack on the Doctrine of the Incarnation
Confessing Christ is evidence of being born again—because life-changing grace is necessary to do so. That’s why we baptize those who profess faith in Christ. At Flint River, every service ends with an invitation: If one or more desires to confess their faith in Christ before these witnesses and be baptized in His name, come forth and let your wishes be known. And if they do, we baptize them. But if someone says, I love this church, but I don’t believe in Jesus, we don’t baptize them—because confession of Christ is a requirement. We believe in a regenerated church membership, composed of those who have been born again by grace. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #BornAgain, #ConfessChrist, #Baptism, #GraceAlone, #RegeneratedChurch, #FaithInJesus, #ChristianDoctrine
The Link Between Grace, Confession, and Baptism
Fear is real, and sometimes, the worst-case scenario does happen. So how do we respond? We trust God. Proverbs 3 reminds us to lean not on our own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Trust the One who holds the universe in His hands—the same God who spoke it into existence, who controls it, who loves you, and who provides for you. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #TrustGod, #FaithOverFear, #GodIsInControl, #LeanNotOnYourOwnUnderstanding, #ChristianEncouragement, #OvercomingFear, #Proverbs3
