Seeing People The Right Way | Pastor Ben Dixon
3d ago00:47:46Tap 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.

Transcribe →At War with the World | Pastor Ben Dixon
1w ago00:49:17Tap to summarizeWhat does the Bible mean when it says, “Do not love the world”? In this teaching, we talk about the very real spiritual battle believers face against the broken and godless system that opposes God and His truth. Every day, followers of Jesus are being pressured to think differently, compromise truth, and drift from God’s ways. This is a practical and Biblical teaching on spiritual warfare, discernment, truth, and what it means to live set apart for Christ in the world we live in today.
Transcribe →The Foundation for Reaching People | Pastor Ben DIxon
1w ago00:42:48Tap to summarizeMost Christians would say they love God—but reaching people often feels harder, less natural, and sometimes even uncomfortable. Why is that? Jesus never separated those two realities. He called us to love God with everything and to go and make disciples. When those are disconnected, faith becomes either inward and passive or outward and forced. But when they come together, reaching people becomes a clear and compelling part of following Jesus. This message lays the foundation for understanding both the heart and the mission behind reaching people.

In this teaching, we look at the ongoing battle between the flesh and the Spirit and how believers can walk in real freedom and victory through Jesus.

Transcribe →A Call to War | Spiritual Warfare | Pastor Ben Dixon
3w ago00:54:03Tap to summarizeWe are not living a neutral life—we are in a spiritual battle whether we realize it or not. In this first session, we lay a biblical foundation for understanding spiritual warfare by answering three critical questions: Who is our enemy? What is the war about? And how do we fight? Looking at Ephesians 6, we unpack the roles of Satan, demons, the world, and the flesh, and bring clarity to what’s really at stake—your allegiance, your transformation, and your purpose. This is not about fear or extremes, but about learning how to stand firm in the strength God provides and walk in the victory Jesus has already secured.
Transcribe →The Practice of Repentance | Pastor Ben Dixon
3w ago00:51:59Tap to summarizeRepentance is one of the most essential practices of the Christian life. Many people think of it as a one-time moment or simply feeling sorry for sin, but Scripture reveals something much deeper. Repentance is a turning of the heart and life toward God that not only begins our relationship with Him but continues to shape it daily. In this message, we’ll define what repentance truly is, clear up common misconceptions, explore how it functions in both salvation and ongoing spiritual growth, and walk through a simple, biblical process for practicing repentance as followers of Jesus.

Transcribe →The Practice of Gathering | Pastor Ben DIxon
Apr 1200:49:01Tap to summarizeWhat does it really mean to be the church—and why does gathering together even matter anymore in our modern times? We live in a culture that has deeply influenced us to view the church as an option when it’s convenient for us, but Scripture calls us to something much deeper. We are not just individuals with a personal faith, but a people who belong to Jesus Christ and are called to gather around Him. When we gather together, we step into one of the primary ways God shapes our lives, and today we are going to explore what that really means.

Transcribe →Death Is Defeated | Pastor Ben Dixon
Apr 500:31:11Tap to summarizeDeath is the one enemy every person will face. It does not care who you are, what you believe, or how you live — it comes for everyone. Every funeral, every hospital room, every tear at a graveside reminds us that something is wrong with our world. But Easter is the announcement that death does not win. Jesus did not just come to teach us how to live — He came to confront death, defeat death, and offer life to all who believe in Him. This Easter, we invite you to join us as we discover the hope of the resurrection and the life-changing truth that because Jesus lives, death is not the end of our story.

Transcribe →We Are a Prophetic Church | Pastor Ben Dixon
Mar 1500:40:24Tap to summarizeWhen the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church, something new began. God’s Spirit was no longer given to just a few leaders, but to all believers. Because of this, the church became a prophetic people where they could hear God’s voice and speak His encouragement into the lives of others. In our message today, we are going to look at what it truly means to be a prophetic church and how we can embrace all that God has given in order to build each other up and reach people far from God.
