From the Pulpit – Flint River Primitive Baptist Church

In this episode of Words of Grace, we share Pastor Winslett’s message on The Blessing of Family. From the very beginning, God established marriage as the oldest institution, teaching us through family relationships about His own love and care for His people. Drawing from Genesis, Ephesians, and the Psalms, this sermon reminds us that family is both a precious gift in this life and a glimpse of the greater, perfect family awaiting us in eternity with Christ.

Listen in as we reflect on the joys and struggles of family life, the deeper intent behind marriage, and the promise of our everlasting home with the Lord.

The Blessing of Family

In this fourth episode of our series on the sovereignty of God in salvation, we delve into the profound topic of God’s sovereign choice of His people for salvation. Specifically, the aspect of God’s election, examining scriptures that illustrate how God, in His sovereignty, chose His elect before the foundation of the world. We also address common misconceptions and questions about divine election, emphasizing that God’s choice is rooted in His mercy and not in human merit.

Through passages from Ephesians, Romans, and other books of the Bible, we see that God’s election is an undeniable biblical principle. Join us as we deepen our understanding of God’s sovereign grace and His eternal plan for His chosen people.

The Sovereignty of God in Choosing

Would it surprise you that sometimes, what looks like healthy religion is actually a brutal, judgmental legalism, full of rules and not Christ? That’s our subject in this sermon from our series through Colossians.

What Looks Like Healthy Religion

What Makes You Complete? People look to all sorts of worldly things to make them complete – in vain. But the child of God has real completeness in Christ! The same Christ in whom dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

What Makes You Complete?

Paul gives the remedy for the threat of false teaching: continual growth in Christ. Join us for this message from Colossians chapter 2.

Walking in Christ

Continuing our series from Colossians, we move into chapter 2 which begins to focus on some of the pressing issues Paul addresses in this short but powerful writing: false teaching. In short, false teaching disturbs the hearts of God’s children, robbing them of comfort and assurance.

Paul’s Burden for Colosse

John chapter 10 contains some of the most comforting and doctrinally instructive passages in the New Testament. Jesus gives His sheep life. They hear His voice and follow Him. And, they’ll never perish because they’re secure in His Father’s hand. In today’s message, we consider this passage in our continuing series on statements of Sovereign Grace, from John’s Gospel.

The Shepherd and His Sheep

Faithfully preaching God’s word invites adversity and suffering. In Colossians chapter 1, Paul remarks on this fact, claiming that he rejoices in such suffering. Moreover, this ministry God had “dispensed” unto him was the fulfillment of God’s promise, even a mystery hidden from the foundation of the world, that Gentiles would be blessed with the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12.

Paul, the Suffering Steward

To reconcile means to “to resolve or settle a difference.” Through sin, humans are enemies and alienated from God’s presence and blessings and without reconciliation, we would have no hope in standing before God after death, certain judgment awaiting. But praise God, He sent His Son into the world to die for our sins, saving us from His wrath.

Reconciled On the Cross

The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s incarnate Son, is the great head of the church. In today’s message, we discuss what headship means as well as three ways to visualize the Body of Christ, the Church.
