What does the Bible truly say about the Lord’s church? In this message, Pastor Ben Winslett turns our attention to powerful Old Testament prophecies that foretell the formation, character, and purpose of Christ's church—His assembly of saints. From Genesis and Psalms to the rich imagery of Isaiah, we uncover God's intention for a worshiping, diverse, spiritually hungry people drawn to His house. This isn't just theological theory—Acts 2 gives us a real-time picture of what a healthy church looks like, and it's a challenge for every believer. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #church #newtestamentchurch #acts2 #isaiahprophecy #gospeltruth #spiritualisrael #houseofprayer #oldtestamentprophecy #benwinslett #flintriverchurch #biblestudy #kingjesus
The Significance of the Lord's Church
For two centuries, Gnosticism posed the greatest threat the early church had ever faced. This wasn’t just some fringe belief—it was a widespread heresy that denied both Christ’s physical body and His full divinity. According to the Gnostics, Jesus was merely a lesser divine being, one of many, sent to help us transcend this "evil" physical realm. But the church endured, because Jesus had already made the promise: “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” This isn't just ancient history—heresies can still gain traction. And yet, Christ’s church continues. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #gnosticism, #churchhistory, #falseteaching, #spiritualwarfare, #christology, #earlychurch, #doctrine #Mormon #Mormonism #jehovahwitnesses #cults
Gnosticism: Biggest Threat to the Early Church? #gnosticism
What is mercy—and how is it different from grace? In this profound message from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Graham Sims expounds upon Psalm 86, Jonah’s ordeal, and the miraculous healing of ten lepers in Luke 17 to show us the depth of God’s mercy toward sinners. While grace removes guilt, mercy removes misery. And the mercy of God meets us in our lowest, most broken places—often when our hearts are divided and wandering. This sermon is a powerful reminder that the mercy of God is both undeserved and unrelenting, even when we fail to thank Him as we should. From King David to a grateful Samaritan, you'll see how God's mercy brings wholeness, peace, and the call to walk in His truth with a united heart. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #themercyofgod #graceandmercy #grahamsims #primitivebaptist #luke17 #psalm86 #jonah #dividedheart #healing #gospeltruth #annualmeeting2025 #flintriverchurch #godismerciful
The Mercy of God | Graham Sims
Mercy isn't just a warm feeling—it's action. In Scripture, mercy consistently flows from the heart and into real-world choices. Whether we’re talking about God or one another, mercy is more than sentiment; it’s behavior. It’s the way we respond, the way we treat, the way we forgive. True mercy begins as a disposition of the heart—but it never stops there. It reveals itself in what we do. #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #biblicalmercy, #gospeltruth, #actionablefaith, #godsloveinaction, #mercyinmotion, #christianliving, #showmercy
Biblical Mercy: More Than Just A Feeling! #mercy
In this stirring message from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Graham Sims brings a gospel-rich sermon from Acts 3–4, Luke 8, and beyond, affirming one unshakable truth: Salvation is of the Lord. Whether in eternity past or in the present, salvation—eternal or in time—is all of God. Drawing from the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, the resurrection of Jairus’ daughter, and the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, Sims points to Christ’s absolute mastery over both life and death. This sermon magnifies the sovereign grace of God, the faith of broken sinners, and the Savior who meets them with healing, comfort, and peace. If you need encouragement that God is not only able but willing to save and sustain, this message will bless your soul. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #gracealone #sovereigngrace #salvationofthelord #grahamsims #acts3 #luke8 #jesusheals #primitivebaptist #gospeltruth #annualmeeting2025 #flintriverchurch #faithandhealing #resurrectionpower
Salvation is of the Lord | Graham Sims
God's mercy isn't fragile—it’s unchanging. Even when we sin, His mercy holds firm because His character never shifts. As Malachi says, “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” If you’ve failed, take heart! #sermon, #preaching, #christianradio, #ephesians2, #malachi36, #richinmercy, #graceandtruth, #immutablegod, #hopeforguilt, #christisalive, #gospelhope
God's Mercy: Essential Attribute for Salvation and Hope
In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett brings a powerful message from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Matthew 5:21–48. Many people misread this passage as Jesus opposing the Law of Moses, but as you’ll hear today, Christ wasn’t criticizing the law—He was explaining it more deeply. This message unpacks the spirit behind the commandments: issues of the heart like anger, lust, vengeance, and hypocrisy. You’ll see how these teachings expose both God’s holiness and our need for grace. Thankfully, Christ not only taught the law—He fulfilled it in full, then bore its penalty for His people. This message is part of our ongoing series through the Sermon on the Mount. Be encouraged today by the truth that while God’s standard is perfection, Jesus Christ has fulfilled it on behalf of His people.

A Deeper Understanding of God’s Law
It only took one sin—just one—for humanity to be separated from God. Adam didn’t commit murder or theft. He simply disobeyed a single command: "Do not eat of this tree." But that violation brought immediate spiritual death, just as God warned: “Dying, thou shalt die.” Adam died that very day—a death in trespasses and sins. And because we are his descendants, we too are condemned—both by Adam’s transgression and by our own. If left to ourselves, we would have no hope. But praise God for His grace—getting what we don’t deserve at Christ’s expense—and for His mercy—not getting what we do deserve, also at Christ’s expense. #Sermon #Preaching #ChristianRadio #OriginalSin #FallOfMan #AdamAndEve #GospelTruth #GraceAndMercy #TotalDepravity #ChristOurHope #BiblicalTeaching #CondemnationAndRedemption
Adam's Sin: How One Choice Changed Everything
If God never changes, how can the Bible say He “repented of the evil” He thought to do? At first glance, this seems like a contradiction—but it’s not. When Scripture speaks of God repenting, it doesn’t mean He changed in His character or made a mistake. Rather, it means He withheld judgment or destruction He had planned in response to a change in the people’s actions. This moment of mercy actually reveals His unchanging nature. One of God's immutable attributes is that He is rich in mercy and slow to wrath. That means He is quick to show compassion and reluctant to execute judgment. In practical terms, it takes far less to bring about God's mercy than it does His chastening. That’s good news for sinners like us. #Sermon #Preaching #ChristianRadio #GodIsImmutable #GodsMercy #Repentance #SlowToWrath #RichInMercy #BibleTruth #TheologyExplained #GraceAndJudgment #OldTestamentGod #MercyTriumphs
When the Bible Says “God Repented”
We're to be merciful people...and the PERFECT example of mercy in the Bible is Jesus Christ!
The Perfect Example of Mercy: Jesus!
Sometimes the best way to understand a virtue is by considering its opposite. So what is the opposite of mercy? Scripture points us to harsh judgment and condemnation. In Matthew 7, Jesus warns us, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” In other words, be very careful how you treat others—because that same standard will be applied to you. If you’re merciful, God will be merciful. But if you’re quick to condemn, don’t be surprised when the tables turn. That truth should cause each of us to stop, reflect, and strive to show the kind of mercy we ourselves hope to receive. #Sermon #Preaching #ChristianRadio #Mercy #JudgeNot #JesusWarning #SermonOnTheMount #Matthew7 #GodIsWatching #ChristianCharacter #GraceOverJudgment #WalkInMercy
The Opposite of Mercy: Avoiding Harsh Judgment
Have you ever said something you shouldn’t have? Failed to act when you knew you should? Gossiped, acted harshly, or let someone down? Whatever it is that weighs on your heart, take comfort in this: God is a God of mercy—and He doesn’t change. As Malachi 3 reminds us, “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” His mercy is not fragile, conditional, or temporary. It endures forever. That means even when we fail, as God’s people, we are secure in His mercy and in the salvation Jesus has provided. He’ll never revoke it. He’ll never cast us away. #Sermon #Preaching #ChristianRadio #GodsMercy #GraceAndForgiveness #ImmutableGod #EnduringMercy #GuiltAndGrace #SecureInChrist #SalvationIsForever
God's Unending Mercy: Freedom from Guilt and Shame
Grace and mercy are often used interchangeably, but they carry distinct and beautiful meanings. Grace is getting what we don’t deserve—salvation, glory, eternal life—and it all comes at Christ’s expense. Mercy, on the other hand, is not getting what we do deserve: God’s wrath, punishment, and eternal separation. In this segment, we explore both sides of the coin. Why is God gracious to us? Because Christ paid the price. Why is He merciful? Because He loves us, even though we’ve broken His law. That’s the glory of the gospel. #Sermon #Preaching #ChristianRadio #GraceAndMercy #SalvationInChrist #GodsMercy #GraceOfGod #DeservingWrath #JesusPaidItAll #ChristianDoctrine
Understanding Grace and Mercy: Two Sides of the Same Coin
The Gospel: Comfort and Hope | Flint River Primitive Baptist Church In this sermon from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, Pastor Ben Winslett turns our attention to Isaiah 40 to highlight the role of gospel preaching as a source of comfort and hope for God’s people. Drawing from a recent funeral service where these themes were deeply felt, this message begins with the timeless words, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people." Isaiah’s prophecy not only foretells the coming of John the Baptist but also reminds us that our ultimate comfort is found in the finished work of Christ. While there’s a time for rebuke, the central voice of the gospel is one of peace: our warfare is accomplished, and our iniquity is pardoned. Hope, far from being a mere wish, is a living, confident expectation grounded in the resurrection. Pastor Winslett explores passages from Acts, Romans, and 1 Peter to show how hope is central to the believer's life. And ultimately, the gospel brings rest to the weary and freedom to the captive. Whether you need assurance, encouragement, or simply a reminder of the promises of God, this message points your heart to where true comfort and hope are found—in Christ. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 40, Acts 23:6, 1 Peter 1:3, Romans 8:19, Philippians 1:20, Matthew 11, John 8 📍 Recorded at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church | Huntsville, Alabama 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Ben Winslett #sermon #preaching #christianradio #PrimitiveBaptist #FlintRiverChurch #Isaiah40 #ComfortAndHope #resurrection #gospelpreaching #hopeinChrist #soulsrest #newbirth #reformedbaptist #hunstvillechurches
The Gospel: Comfort and Hope
This week on Words of Grace, we turn to Isaiah 42 for a stirring look at God’s Chosen Servant — a prophecy that reveals the mission and character of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike the conquering political figure many first-century Jews anticipated, Christ came in gentleness, mercy, and unwavering purpose. He didn’t clamor for attention or crush the weak. Instead, He upheld the bruised reed and rekindled the smoking flax, ministering hope to the broken. Though quiet in demeanor, He accomplished what no other could: full and final redemption for His people. Join Pastor Ben Winslett as he unpacks this passage in light of its New Testament fulfillment and points us to the victorious, compassionate Savior who will not fail nor be discouraged.
