In this week’s message, we turn to Luke 7 and the remarkable account of a Roman Centurion whose faith caused Jesus Himself to marvel. While the Jewish elders praised the man’s accomplishments and argued for his worthiness, the Centurion felt deeply unworthy—yet fully confident in Christ’s authority. His request was simple: “Just speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.”

In this episode, Pastor Benjamin Winslett explores the contrast between human perceptions of worthiness and the humility that marks true faith. We also consider the Centurion’s unique understanding of Jesus’ power to act “from a distance,” without any physical presence required.

Join us as we study this powerful example of great faith and learn what it teaches us about approaching Christ with humility, dependence, and trust.

An Example of Great Faith

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett turns to one of the most moving passages in Scripture: the death and resurrection of Lazarus in John chapter 11. Here we witness the compassion, purpose, and power of Christ. Though He knew Lazarus would live again, Jesus still wept with those He loved. What comfort this gives us: a Savior who conquers the grave yet enters into our sorrow with tenderness and understanding.

This message reflects on God’s perfect timing, the hope of the resurrection, and the precious promise that death is but sleep for the children of God. Join us as we consider the glory of Christ in one of His most unforgettable miracles.

When Jesus Wept

In this weekend’s broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns to Luke 6 to consider Jesus’ encounter with the heavy hand of legalism. In these familiar passages, the Pharisees condemn Christ and His disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath and later challenge Him for restoring a man’s withered hand on another Sabbath. Yet Jesus reveals the true intent of God’s law: not as a burden to break souls, but as a blessing to sustain life. Join Pastor Winslett as he explores the contrast between the crushing weight of man-made legalism and the gracious rest we find in the Lord of the Sabbath Himself. #sermon #preaching #christianradio #wordsOfGrace #primitivebaptist #FlintRiverPBC #Jesus #Legalism #Luke6 #Sabbath #Grace

When Jesus first called His disciples into the gospel ministry, he met them not in a religious house, but in their place of employment as they were fishing in the Sea of Galilee. In this episode of Words of Grace, we turn to Luke chapter 5 and Jesus’ instruction to Peter to cast his net one more time, setting up a miracle that would forever impact the direction of Peter’s life. While indeed a miracle, this interaction served as a metaphor for the work these men would engage in for the rest of their days: Fishing for men.

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, ’Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve. But, Scripture paints a very different picture of how sinners are saved. From Romans 3 to Ephesians 2, Pastor Winslett explains that salvation cannot come by human effort. Instead, the undeniable message of the gospel is that we are saved by grace alone—unmerited favor from a sovereign God.

Listen now and be refreshed by the sweet sound of God’s sovereign grace!

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett shares a message titled “Judging the Tree by its Fruit.” Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 7, “by their fruits ye shall know them,” Ben reminds us that while we aren’t called to be judgmental people, we are called to exercise discernment. Just as good judgment keeps us from stepping into danger on the highway, spiritual discernment helps us recognize truth from error—especially when it comes to false teachers.

Through passages from Matthew, John, Proverbs, James, and 1 Peter, Ben explores the biblical principle that our works reveal who we are. Even a child is known by his doings, and our actions as believers should reflect the faith we profess. Ultimately, this message challenges us to live in a way that bears witness of Christ and leaves a good name before others.

Listen as we teach on the wisdom of discernment, the importance of our testimony, and the danger of false preachers—reminding us that “when someone shows you who they are, you are wise to believe them.”

Judging the Tree by its Fruit

Everything about the Christian faith centers on one glorious truth — it’s all about Christ. From creation to redemption, from our new birth to our eternal home, all things are of Him, through Him, and to Him.

In this edition of Words of Grace, we feature a recent sermon from the pulpit of Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, reminding us that our greatest identity isn’t found in any earthly title or role, but in belonging to Jesus. Every blessing of salvation — being chosen, redeemed, and made new — is found in Christ.

Join us as we lift our eyes to the One for whom all things exist and in whom every believer finds purpose and peace.

In today’s edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns our attention to the Great Commission — the lasting instruction Jesus gave His disciples before ascending into heaven. Each gospel record closes with a similar theme: the crucifixion, the resurrection, the commission, and the ascension.

Though salvation is entirely the Lord’s work, it is through the preaching of the gospel that disciples are made from among those whom God has quickened. Pastor Winslett explores the unique emphases in each Gospel account, the apostolic authority of this commission, and the continuing responsibility of the church to support the ministry through prayer, service, and encouragement.

Join us as we reflect on this sacred charge and the pattern seen throughout the book of Acts, where the Lord added daily to the church through faithful gospel labor.

The Importance of Making Disciples

In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett considers Luke’s record of the temptation, showing us both the absolute righteousness of our Savior and the subtle strategies of the enemy. Be encouraged: Jesus overcame where we would have failed. His victory is not only our example in resisting temptation, but also the very foundation of our salvation!

The Temptation in the Wilderness, from Luke 4

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett addresses the troubling events that weigh heavily on our hearts—political violence, mass shootings, wars, and the moral decline so evident in our world today. With Scripture as our guide, we ask the simple yet urgent question: What are we supposed to do?

Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Winslett reminds us of our calling to be salt and light, to embrace the Beatitudes, to pray for even our enemies, and to live in such a way that reflects the peace of Christ in a chaotic world. From Matthew 24 and Romans 1 to the powerful exhortation of Romans 12—Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good—this message calls us back to our true purpose as disciples of Jesus.
