A Church on Fire | Pastor Ben Dixon

February 25, 2024 • Pastor Ben Dixon • Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1–21

A common critique of the modern American church is that we are more internally focused than externally focused. When and where this criticism is true of God’s people, we will find a church that is slowly dying spiritually because much our mission is to reach a broken, hurting, and dying world. We must be a church that is on fire for Jesus. That means we are bold, unashamed, passionate, and focused on reaching people in every way that we possibly can. How do we move from learning to living, from casual to passionate, and from passive to engaged? In today’s message, we will look at how the church went from fearful to fired up with the mission of Christ, and our hope is that God would do the very same in us today!

Friendship with Jesus | Pastor Ben Dixon

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Ben Dixon • John 15:1–17

Christianity is all about relationship. We were made for a relationship with God and there is a longing inside every Christian to know Him more and walk with Him closely. If that is true, then how do we draw near to God and stay near? What does it really look like to cultivate a quality relationship with the Lord that goes deeper than any other relationship that we have? In John chapter 15, while Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure, He assured them that their relationship could always be deep and strong. There are many truths and principles that we can draw from this conversation that will also help us as we seek to deepen our friendship with Jesus.

The Power of Testimony | Pastor Ben Dixon

April 21, 2024 • Pastor Ben Dixon • Acts 1:8, Acts 4:20, John 4, John 9, John 11

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is chock-full of testimonies where real people encountered a real God and were completely transformed. Nothing has changed today. God is still doing what He has always done through the power of the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 13:8), and this is why we need to hear and share the testimonies of what God has done. When we hear about what God is doing it fuels our spiritual life and causes us to press into God in greater ways. This weekend, we have the privilege of hearing how God is moving in the lives of people from Northwest Church, and we pray that this will spark something in all of us to believe God for more.
