Some assume the new birth is only a New Testament concept, but it's not! In Ezekiel 11:19, God promises: “I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh.” This is regeneration language—God giving us a new heart to walk in His ways. The new birth is right there in the Old Testament. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #newbirth, #regeneration, #Ezekiel11, #heartofstone, #heartofflesh, #bornagain, #HolySpirit, #salvation, #biblicaltheology
Ezekiel - Discovering the New Heart Given By God
Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth (Matthew 5:38-42) In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett explores Jesus’ powerful teachings on forgiveness and charity from the Sermon on the Mount. What does it truly mean to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give to those who ask? These verses confront our natural instincts for retaliation and call us to reflect the gracious heart of Christ—even in difficult circumstances. As we unpack these commands, we’re reminded that Jesus not only taught these truths but perfectly lived them. He didn’t resist evil, but willingly endured the cross for us. This message calls us not only to strive for personal obedience but to rest in the righteousness of the One who fulfilled the law on our behalf. Radio broadcast for June 22, 2025.

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth
This is serious. When societies are left to their depraved hearts, violence becomes inevitable. Genesis 6 tells us: “every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart is only evil continually.” That’s not exaggeration—it’s a biblical diagnosis. And this is precisely why God judges humanity. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #humanDepravity, #Genesis6, #OriginalSin, #ViolentHumanHearts, #DivineJudgment, #NoahsDay, #BiblicalTruth, #SocietalCorruption
God's Judgment - Why Humanity Faces Divine Justice
When God saves a person, He doesn’t just clean them up—He gives them a brand new heart. Just like Ezekiel said, He removes the stony heart and gives one of flesh. Paul compares this to a spiritual circumcision, removing the filth of the flesh from the heart. And Hebrews echoes Jeremiah’s prophecy, that God writes His law into our minds and hearts. That’s not behavior modification—it’s regeneration. It’s the miracle of the new birth. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #NewBirth, #HeartOfFlesh, #CircumcisionOfTheHeart, #Ezekiel36, #Hebrews8, #Jeremiah31, #Regeneration, #SpiritualTransformation, #GodsCovenant, #BornAgain, #HeartChange, #SalvationIsOfTheLord
New Birth: God's Law Written on Our Hearts
Where did our deceitful, wicked hearts come from? We inherited them. As descendants of Adam, we’re born with the same sinful nature he had after the fall. Scripture tells us we’re conceived in sin and shaped in iniquity. That means we come into the world spiritually dead—dead in trespasses and sins—with a heart naturally inclined away from God. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #OriginalSin, #FallOfMan, #AdamsNature, #SinfulHeart, #Jeremiah179, #BiblicalAnthropology, #TotalDepravity, #Regeneration, #ConceivedInSin, #GospelTruth, #DesperatelyWicked, #InheritedSin
The Deceptive Heart: Understanding Our Inherited Sin Nature
There's a great theological difference between being pricked in the heart and being cut to the heart. One leads to repentance. The other leads to rage. When God's Word pricks the heart, as in Acts 2, the conscience is stirred and sinners cry out, “What shall we do?” But when it cuts to a stony heart, as seen in Acts 7, it only offends, enrages, and hardens the hearer even more. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #Conviction, #Repentance, #Acts2, #Acts7, #StonyHeart, #Regeneration, #HolySpiritConviction, #HardenedHeart, #HeartChange, #BiblicalTruth, #Conscience, #TheologyMatters
Cut vs Pricked Heart: Theological Differences Explained
A person who truly embodies purity of heart avoids more than just outward sins—he guards his thoughts, his motives, and his intentions. He refuses to entertain lust, plot evil, seek vengeance, or manipulate others. Instead, his life reflects sincerity and holiness from the inside out. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #PureInHeart, #Holiness, #ChristianEthics, #GuardYourHeart, #CleanHandsPureHeart, #Beatitudes, #Sincerity, #ChristlikeCharacter, #Integrity, #NoVengeance, #InnerPurity, #SanctifiedLiving
Purity of Heart - Avoiding Lust, Violence, and Manipulation
In this message from the book of Ezra, Pastor Ben Winslett reflects on a pivotal season in Israel’s history — the return from Babylonian captivity and the rebuilding of the temple. What does this mean for us today, as a remnant people living in a culture increasingly disinterested in Biblical truth? From divine open doors to seasons of repentance and renewal, the book of Ezra offers a pattern for revival — both in our personal walk and in the life of the church. Join us as we consider timely lessons from this era of rebuilding and ask: Are we ready to step forward in faith, support the work of God’s house, and rejoice once more in His worship? #sermon #preaching #christianradio #Ezra #OldTestament #BibleStudy #churchrebuilding #churchlife #revival #remnant #faithfulness #worship #restoration #Christiansermon #expositorypreaching
A Time of Rebuilding | The Book of Ezra
For someone to have a pure heart, there must first be a change from their natural condition. As descendants of Adam, we are shaped in iniquity and born with hearts incapable of true purity. But the pure in heart—those who will see God—are the ones who’ve been born again. It's a heart transplant, spiritually speaking, given by the grace of God alone. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #PureInHeart, #BornAgain, #NewHeart, #Regeneration, #HeartTransplant, #GraceAlone, #OriginalSin, #AdamAndEve, #Psalm51, #SpiritualRebirth, #Sanctification, #SavedByGrace
Pure Heart: Born Again & Heart Transplant Explained
In today’s broadcast from our ongoing Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Ben Winslett explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:33–37, where Christ addresses the misuse of oaths and the importance of honest, straightforward speech. While some might dismiss this as irrelevant in our modern world, Pastor Winslett shows just how deeply applicable Jesus’ words are—especially in an age of mass communication, social media platforms, and public opinion on demand. Drawing from Old Testament laws in Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and examining traditional Jewish interpretations, this message highlights how Jesus calls us beyond legalistic technicalities to a life of integrity—where a simple “yes” or “no” should suffice. We also consider how our speech can be used manipulatively or deceitfully, and how Scripture exhorts us to “study to be quiet,” to avoid gossip, flattery, and passive aggression. Join us as we’re reminded that godly communication isn’t flamboyant or manipulative—but plain, dependable, and truthful. May God grant us the grace to speak with clarity, humility, and honesty!

The pure in heart sees God—not just in blessings, but also in trials. He sees God in every good and perfect gift and even through discipline, knowing the Lord avenges and corrects His children. But there's more: one day, those who’ve been given a new heart will see God face to face in glory. As Psalm 17:15 says, "I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." What a promise. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #PureInHeart, #SeeGod, #Psalm1715, #ResurrectionHope, #HeartPurity, #SpiritualVision, #Christlikeness, #Sanctification, #GloryToCome, #GodsPresence, #FatherOfLights, #NewHeart
Pure Heart - Seeing God in Every Moment, Good & Bad
You’ve heard the phrase: “Just give your heart to Jesus.” But here’s the truth—we don’t need to give Jesus our heart. We need Him to give us a new one. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:9 that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. That’s not something we can clean up or hand over—it’s something that must be replaced. God promises to take away the stony heart and give us a heart of flesh, that we may walk in His statutes. Regeneration is by Him, not us. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #NewHeart, #Jeremiah179, #HeartOfFlesh, #GodsWork, #Regeneration, #BiblicalTruth, #ChristianTheology, #BornAgain, #SalvationByGrace, #HeartChange, #ChristAlone, #DoctrinesOfGrace
Jesus Gives You A New Heart - Understanding Salvation
"Follow your heart"—it's one of the most common pieces of advice today, but is it godly? Scripture paints a different picture. Many of society's problems—broken homes, betrayals, and sinful pursuits—stem from people doing just that: following their hearts. Proverbs tells us to guard our hearts, not obey them. Why? Because out of the heart flow the issues of life. We need God’s Word to lead us, not our own desires. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #GuardYourHeart, #BiblicalWisdom, #FollowChristNotYourHeart, #TruthOverFeelings, #ScriptureOverEmotion, #WordOfGod, #ChristianLiving, #ProverbsWisdom, #BiblicalCounsel, #ModernLies, #HeartDeceitful, #FaithfulPath
Guard Your Heart: Wisdom for Modern Life's Challenges
The Church of God is the pillar and ground of the truth. That means the Church isn’t just a place of worship—it’s the very foundation where truth is preserved and upheld. When Israel returned from exile, where was the Word of God found? Right where they left it: in the House of God. So today, we trust what has been preserved through the Church, not what’s uncovered in caves, trash bins, or hidden libraries. The truth is with God’s people. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #ChurchOfGod, #TruthPreserved, #PillarAndGround, #BiblicalAuthority, #HouseOfGod, #GodsWord, #SoundDoctrine, #NTChurch, #FaithfulWitness, #PreservationOfTruth, #ChristianConfidence, #ScripturalChurch
