Pastor Ben Dixon Learning From The Older Generation | Pastor Ben Dixon, feat. Annjanette Cummins and Craig McCannThis weekend in our Family of God series, we are taking time to honor the older generation in our church—those who have walked with Jesus faithfully and carry wisdom that strengthens the entire body. Rather than a traditional sermon, Pastor Ben will interview two trusted leaders from our NWC family, inviting them to share not only from their experience but also to help guide us in how to better honor, value, and learn from the older saints in our church and broader community. Scripture calls us to stand in the presence of the aged and to seek wisdom fr...

Pastor Ben Dixon Give Us Barabbus | Pastor Ben DixonPastor Ben Dixon delves into the biblical account of the crowd's choice between Jesus and Barabbas, exploring themes of spiritual complacency and the dangers of choosing comfort over truth.Drawing parallels to modern-day challenges, Dixon urges believers to examine their own hearts and confront the temptation to seek easy answers instead of embracing the transformative power of Christ. This message serves as a compelling reminder to prioritize faithfulness and integrity in a world that often favors the status quo.

Pastor Ben Dixon Moving from Selfish to Selfless | Pastor Ben DixonDo Christians struggle with being selfish? Of course we do! Even though Jesus has shown us the way of sacrificial love and selflessness, we can still be self-centered and self-focused if we allow ourselves to live by the flesh. If we are truly going to follow Jesus in the way that we live, it will require that we acknowledge selfish tendencies and make selfless choices in both the big and small things in our lives. In our passage today, Paul speaks about denying our internal selfish motives in order to choose a selfless way which is best seen in...

Pastor Ben Dixon Faithful Christians in a Faithless World | Pastor Ben DixonWhat does it mean to be a faithful Christian? What does that really look like in our world today? The Apostle Paul not only spoke about this specifically, but he embodied it by the way he lived. In the final verses of Philippians chapter 1, Paul exhorted the church to live consistently, unified and fearless, no matter what came against them. All these exhortations remain true for us today as we seek to follow Jesus faithfully. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Philippians 1:27-30 Series: Philippians: Joy from a Jail Ceil ...

Pastor Ben Dixon Freedom from the Power of your Problem | Pastor Ben DixonHow do we experience freedom from the power and weight of our problems? Our problems are heavy, but they do not have to consistently weigh us down. The apostle Paul walked through many tribulations, yet found joy and freedom in the midst of it. What did he have? what changed? In Christ we can experience more that what the world can give us but we must keep our eyes of Jesus.

Pastor Ben Dixon God Will Finish What He Started | Pastor Ben DixonIt can be easy to feel like we aren’t growing, things aren’t changing, and God isn’t doing much in our lives. There are many reasons for why we feel this way, but a lot of it has to do with how we think. The problem we often have is that the process God uses for our development is not as fast or as clear as we would like it to be. But here is the truth: God is at work in our lives right now (Philippians 2:13) and we can be sure that He will finish what He sta...

Pastor Ben Dixon Servants, Saints and Spiritual Leaders | Pastor Ben DixonThe book of Philippians is widely known for a handful of famous passages and its practical encouragement. However, what else do we know about this letter? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? Who was it written to? Do the answers to these questions help us understand and live out what is found in this text? Of course! Today we will explore the context of the book of Philippians and discuss some specific titles that are mentioned in the first few verses. I pray that this simple overview will help us to not overlook details that matter as...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Process of Transformation | Pastor Ben DixonNew year, New you? Life transformation begins with Jesus. We are commanded to be transformed through the renewal of our mind. This process requires evaluation of the past, envisioning where we need to go, and implementation of a plan.

Pastor Ben Dixon From the Star to the Savior | Pastor Ben DixonThe story of Christmas is the clearest picture of God’s love. He took the initiative and provided a way for us to be in relationship with Him again through Jesus Christ. God loves us so much that He is constantly drawing us to Himself that we might respond with a full surrender. In our passage today we will encounter some men called the “magi” who are looking for the King of the Jews right after the birth of Christ. This story is much more than a historical narrative because it shows us how far God will go to draw u...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Advent of Peace | Pastor Ben DixonWhen God made the world and created human beings, everything was good and there was peace. However, once sin entered the world through disobedience, it caused chaos, division and unrest with God and one another. The arrival of Jesus brought comprehensive peace that has past, present and future implications. As we celebrate the advent of Christ we are reminded that Jesus brought peace into the world and will continue to do so until He returns when all things will be fully and completely at rest once again.

Pastor Ben Dixon The Power of God | Pastor Ben DixonTrue Revival is a demonstration of the power of God and not just a response to human effort. God has all power and desires to meet our needs, set us free, heal our bodies, and most importantly, save our souls. We don’t just want His power, we actually need it. In our message today we will discuss how essential the power of God is for the Christian, the Church, and the world around us.

Pastor Ben Dixon Awakened by the Word | Pastor Ben DixonA person might ask the question, “Why do Christians need revival?” The simple answer is that God’s people, for whatever reason, tend to spiritually decline over time. There are many accounts of this reality throughout the Bible, and I am sure that most of us have seen or experienced this in our own lives as well. God, by His grace, will pour out His Spirit in a fresh way to awaken us to who He is and what He has called us to do. As we read some of the Biblical accounts where God awakened His people, we will f...

Pastor Ben Dixon A Revival of First Love | Pastor Ben DixonIt’s hard to put into words what it’s like when we truly meet Jesus and give Him our lives. To know that we are unconditionally loved, totally forgiven, and fully known is life changing. How can you not love Jesus with everything that you are? This amazing love causes us to respond in loving Him in every way possible. It’s why we read the Bible, pray, become part of the church, serve people, share our testimony and the Gospel. It’s simple. That’s what love is supposed to be like – simple. However, if we are not careful...

Pastor Ben Dixon A Hunger for More | Pastor Ben DixonWhen someone says “revival” I am sure that many things come to our mind. The word “revival” is not found in the Bible, but the root word “revive” is used dozens of times. This word comes from a Hebrew word that is used hundreds of times in the Old Testament and is typically translated as, “revive, to live, to make alive, to recover or restore.” So, biblically speaking, a reviving work of God is when a person/people are spiritually awakened after being in a state of spiritual dormancy or stagnation. This “reviving” usually causes people to repent, pray, and renew their comm...

Pastor Ben Dixon Friendship with Jesus | Pastor Ben DixonChristianity 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...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Power of Prayer in Political Times | Pastor Ben DixonEvery generation has experienced some sort of tension around political issues and there is no doubt that we are currently experiencing this in our times as well. Christians debate over how much and what kind of political engagement we ought to have as we follow Jesus and His Word faithfully. In the midst of answering the, “what do we do about this” question, we must reflect on the role of prayer as a means to influence political outcomes that allow for the mission of Jesus to flourish. Some people think that prayer is a passive cop-out in the face of p...

Pastor Ben Dixon In God We Trust | Pastor Ben DixonPolitics are important, but what’s more important is that OUR TRUST is fully and completely in the Lord no matter what. In this message, Pastor Ben explores what it means to truly trust God in politically difficult times.

Pastor Ben Dixon The Donkey, the Elephant, and the Lamb | Pastor Ben DixonModern politics are clearly one of the most polarizing topics we could be discussing today. Everywhere we turn, we see our country and world swept up in debates, narratives, and controversy. This clearly shows us that people have very different views. Democrats and Republicans have become more divided in the last 40 years and it has caused a polarity that is sometimes even seen and felt in the Church. As Christians, we cannot allow the political agendas of the world to persuade us into beliefs and behaviors that are contradictory to the way of Jesus. We must think Biblically about...

Pastor Ben Dixon Why Christians Should Care About Politics | Pastor Ben DixonAccording to Pew Research, 65% of Americans say they ‘always’ or ‘often’ feel exhausted when thinking about politics. I think that statistic is fair and probably how most of us feel when the subject is brought up. In fact, I am sure that some of us have given up when it comes to politics which has probably only made things worse. Today, as we open our series on Jesus & Politics, I want to help answer the question of what politics are and why it should matter, especially for Christians.

Pastor Ben Dixon Reaching and Rescuing the Prodigals | Pastor Ben DixonEveryone has friends and family members who either walked away from Jesus or never fully surrendered their heart to Him even though they had opportunities to do so. This reality is heart wrenching and difficult for all of us, and I am sure that we would do anything we could to see our loved ones come back to Jesus. None of us are alone in this; in fact, James closes his letter with a few words about the importance of seeking to restore the prodigals in our life. As we study these verses and close the book of James...

Pastor Ben Dixon Why Prayer Doesn't Work | Pastor Ben DixonHave you ever prayed and wondered why your prayers weren’t being answered? There are many things that come into our minds when prayers go unanswered. Maybe God didn’t hear me? Maybe I don’t have enough faith? Maybe I am doing something wrong, and I just don’t know what that is? The Bible doesn’t answer every question that may come into our minds, but it does give us some answers as to why prayer doesn’t always work. In our passage today, James tells us what prayer can do when it’s done the right way for the ri...

Pastor Ben Dixon Practical Steps for Difficult Days | Pastor Ben DixonEvery season of life carries both burdens and blessings. We need to remember that when we have difficult days, God doesn’t stand on the sidelines of our life and wait for us to figure things out. He already had these days in mind when He inspired the writers of Scripture to give us what we need for the times we will need it. In our passage today, James gives practical steps for several scenarios that we will find ourselves in as life unfolds. None of us have to stay stuck where we are; we can take steps and re...

Pastor Ben Dixon How to Handle Suffering | Pastor Ben DixonSuffering is part of the human experience and all of us will deal with it in one way or another. Yeah, you heard me right, there is no way out of some suffering in our life. But what if I told you that there is a way to walk through your suffering that shows what you believe, who you trust and can serve as an example for those that are watching your life? Would that change how you suffer? I am sure it would. In our passage today, James speaks directly to first-century Christians who have suffered the loss...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Deceitfulness of Riches | Pastor Ben DixonWhen we talk about “the rich” who comes to your mind? Is it Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Bill Gates (Microsoft), or maybe Elon Musk (Tesla and SpaceX)? While these people are certainly the most rich today, did you know that most Americans have more and live better than 94 percent of the rest of the world? I think it’s fair to say that the Biblical writers would have considered most of us to be rich just because of the world that they came from. This means that every warning and command concerning the rich and wealthy is applic...

Pastor Ben Dixon Living for God's Will | Pastor Ben DixonEveryone has dreams, hopes, and aspirations that they want to see fulfilled in their life. These dreams are often the causation for how we plan out what our life will look like. All of this may not be wrong in and of itself, but the question we must answer is, “Where is God in all of my plans?” Does our plan for our life factor in God’s plan for our life? Have we even considered if how we are living or what we are planning is what He wants, or do we persist with what we want for variou...

Pastor Ben Dixon Responding to God's Voice | Pastor Ben Dixon | Hearing God - Session 8While hearing God’s voice is a privilege, it also comes with great responsibility. What we do with what God says is incredibly important. I want to stress this point because my hope is that we would never become casual with anything that God says to us. Far too many Christians believe that their role in what God is doing doesn’t matter. What a lie. We matter. What we do matters. What we choose not to do matters. There are countless people that will be impacted by how we respond to God’s voice. We need to shake off an...

Pastor Ben Dixon Freedom from a Judgmental Heart | Pastor Ben DixonChristians are judgmental—right?! At least that’s the prevailing cultural narrative regarding the Church. In fact, this perspective is so prevalent that we hear this statement come from those who profess to be Christians themselves. As we look at our passage today, we will clearly see that having a judgmental heart is not some new thing that Christians struggle with. This specific sin has been tempting followers of Jesus for as long as the Church has been around which is why we must hear and heed this passage as we find freedom from a judgmental heart.

Pastor Ben Dixon Dealing with Conflict | Pastor Ben DixonWe all face conflict in our relationships with others.

However, with this increase of knowledge have we become wiser? That is the question! Knowledge is important but wisdom is more important because it causes us to live better. In our passage today, James presents the concept that there are two kinds of wisdom and we need to know which one we are operating by if we are to truly bless people and glorify God.

Pastor Ben Dixon Taming the Tongue | Pastor Ben DixonHow we steward our words is a clear theme throughout the book of James. What we say and how we say it is extremely important for the follower of Jesus because our words matter more than we know. Most major studies agree that people speak around 16,000 words per day on average. To put this in perspective, that’s almost 6 million words per year which is enough to fill 100 average-sized books. So, the question could be: what book are you writing with the words you are saying? Is it helpful or hurtful? Does it bring life or bring death? Does it...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Power of Testimony | Pastor Ben DixonFrom 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.

Pastor Ben Dixon Real Faith that Makes a Difference | Pastor Ben DixonI think we would all agree that there is a massive difference between faith that is alive and faith that is dead. Faith without action is not THE FAITH that we see in Jesus’ life nor His teachings. However, it seems that believers from the first century to the twenty-first century have too often allowed for something that isn’t fully real and doesn’t actually help. Let’s look carefully at what James has to say and freshly commit ourselves to what Jesus intended for His followers. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: James 2:1...

Pastor Ben Dixon God Doesn't Play Favorites | Pastor Ben DixonIt’s near impossible to live in our world and not have some pre-disposed opinions that affect the way we see and treat others. There are many reasons for why this could be the case for us, but Jesus does not share our prejudice, nor does He treat people unfairly for any reason. In our passage today, James calls out the sin of favoritism which was prevalent then and still is today. As disciples of Jesus, we must have zero tolerance for the unfair treatment of others because the same grace that saved and sustains us is the same gr...

Pastor Ben Dixon The Signs of Pure Religion | Pastor Ben DixonThe word “religion” is used to define and describe so many things in our world today. Usually in Christian circles we talk about religion as a contrast to relationship with Jesus which makes it seem incompatible with the Christian life. However, the word religion is neutral and usually means “the outward practice or service to God.” In our final verses of chapter 1, James makes it quite clear that there is worthless religion that deceives people and pure religion that honors God and serves others.

Pastor Ben Dixon The Danger of Passive Christianity | Pastor Ben DixonAs Christians, we know that our primary responsibility is to follow Jesus through faithful obedience to His Word. However, when life is hard, plans don’t work out, and prayers go unanswered it can be easy to shut down and stop responding to the truths that we hold dear. Additionally, we face an enemy who seeks to persuade us toward a passive and inactive faith that knows the Word but never responds. James was aware that the church of his day struggled with a passive faith and the same can be true for us today. As we dive into ou...

Pastor Ben Dixon A Church on Fire | Pastor Ben DixonA 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...

Pastor Ben Dixon Dealing with Anger | Pastor Ben DixonWhen we get offended or when life is difficult, it’s not hard to get angry. We all deal with the issue of anger to one degree or another. So, the question is not, “Do we get angry?” but rather, “What should we do with the anger that we experience?” James speaks directly and practically about how to deal with anger which was important for them and is still relevant for us today.
