Reaching People With The Gospel | Pastor Ben Dixon
5d ago00:48:24Tap to summarizeThe gospel is the greatest message the world has ever heard, yet most Christians struggle to clearly explain it or confidently share it with others. If we are going to reach people with the gospel, we first need to understand it ourselves. In this message, we'll answer two foundational questions: What is the Gospel and how do we share the Gospel? As we walk through the story of Scripture and a simple, practical framework for sharing our faith, you'll be equipped to confidently communicate the hope of Jesus Christ with the people God has placed in your life.

Transcribe →What Keeps Us From Reaching People? | Pastor Ben Dixon
3w ago00:45:20Tap to summarizeJonah chapter 4 is one of the most surprising chapters in the Bible. After witnessing one of the greatest revivals recorded in Scripture, Jonah wasn't filled with joy—he was filled with anger. Instead of celebrating God's mercy, he questioned it. Instead of rejoicing over people being saved, he became frustrated and angry with God. This chapter reveals a very sobering truth: sometimes the greatest obstacles to reaching people aren't around us, they're within us. Today, we are going to look at four heart postures that can quietly keep us from sharing God's heart for the people He longs to save.

Transcribe →The Fathers We Need | Pastor Ben Dixon
4w ago00:41:29Tap to summarizeFatherhood is one of the greatest callings and responsibilities God has entrusted to men. In a culture that often minimizes the importance of fathers, Scripture reminds us that fathers have a unique influence on the spiritual, emotional, and relational health of their families. Whether you are a father, grandfather, future father, or someone impacted by a father’s influence, this message will challenge us to consider God’s design for fatherhood and the kind of men our families, churches, and communities desperately need. The stakes are high, the calling is significant, and God has not left us guessing about what faithful fatherhood looks like.

Transcribe →Spiritual Gifts In The Church | Beyond The Sermon
Jun 1201:03:23Tap to summarizeAre spiritual gifts good for the church of today? How do you discover your spiritual gifts, and what does healthy use of spiritual gifts look like in the local church? Throughout the New Testament, we see a church empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened through the ministry of spiritual gifts. These gifts were never intended to be confusing, divisive, or pushed to the margins of church life. They were given by God to build up His people, reveal Jesus, and help the church fulfill His mission in the world. In this episode of Beyond the Sermon, Pastor Ben Dixon and Keri Welch discuss practical ways to help people step into their God-given gifts so the church can function with greater clarity, health, and purpose. #SpiritualGifts #HolySpirit #GiftsoftheSpirit #ChristianPodcast #1Corinthians12 #Pentecostal #BiblicalTeaching #ChurchLeadership #WordAndSpirit #NorthwestChurch For more information visit www.BenDixon.org or fill out a Northwest Church Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663
Transcribe →We Are Sent To Reach People | Pastor Ben Dixon
Jun 700:48:42Tap to summarizeJesus never intended His followers to simply receive His grace—He intended for them to carry it to others. In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus sent His disciples out to reach people with the good news of the Kingdom and to minister in His name. While the original disciples were sent in that moment, every follower of Jesus has been given the same mission today. We have been entrusted with the Gospel and called to participate in God's work of reaching people. This message will challenge us to embrace that calling and faithfully live as those who have been sent by Christ.

Transcribe →We Are A Spiritually Gifted Church | Pastor Ben Dixon
May 3100:48:36Tap to summarizeThroughout the New Testament, we see a church that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened through the ministry of spiritual gifts. These gifts were never intended to be confusing, divisive, or pushed to the margins of church life. They were given by God to build up His people, reveal Jesus, and help the church fulfill its mission in the world. This weekend, we’ll explore what it means to be a spiritually-gifted church, the vision God has for His people, and why this matters for Northwest Church.

Transcribe →Shaped By The Heart of Jesus | Pastor Ben Dixon
May 1700:47:54Tap to summarizeJesus did far more than teach His disciples information—He intentionally shaped their hearts. Throughout the Gospels, we observe how Jesus constantly formed the way they saw people, responded to brokenness, understood the mission of God, and engaged the world around them. In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus used a powerful moment with the crowds to shape His disciples into people who would eventually carry His heart and continue His ministry. In this message, we will look at how Jesus still shapes His followers today to see what He saw, feel what He felt, know what He knew, and pray what He prayed!

Transcribe →How Do I Share My Faith? | Beyond The Sermon
May 1500:53:02Tap to summarizeWe are currently in a new series as a church called "Reach Out". Reaching out to people is something we can really overcomplicate. When in reality, it starts as simple as having a conversation, asking people how they were doing, and simply beginning to look beyond ourselves. In this episode, Pastor Ben Dixon and Keri Welch discuss being active about sharing our faith, God moving through simple conversations, and getting out of our own bubble to partner with Jesus and His mission to reach others.

Transcribe →At War with the Demonic | Pastor Ben Dixon
May 1400:59:05Tap to summarizeWhat does the Bible actually teach about demons, demonic activity, and spiritual warfare? In this teaching, we take a biblical and balanced look at how demonic influence operates through deception, temptation, accusation, oppression, false teaching, and agreement with sin, while also addressing more direct forms of spiritual attack found throughout Scripture. Far too many people either become obsessed with the demonic or dismiss it completely, but the Bible calls believers to live with awareness, discernment, and confidence in Christ. Most importantly, we look at the victory of Jesus, who came to destroy the works of the devil and bring true freedom to those who belong to Him.
Transcribe →Seeing People The Right Way | Pastor Ben Dixon
May 1000:47:46Tap to summarizeActs chapter 10 records a powerful turning point in the spread of the Gospel as God opens the door for the Gentiles to hear and receive the message of Jesus Christ. Although Peter already knew the mission of Jesus, there were still perspectives and assumptions in him that needed to change. Yet it was Peter’s posture before God in prayer that positioned him to hear from God and ultimately see people differently. This message explores how our posture before God shapes our perspective of people and ultimately influences the way we reach out to the world around us.
