A Church on Fire | Pastor Ben Dixon
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
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!

Dealing with Anger | Pastor Ben Dixon
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
When 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.

As we study the book of James, we have learned that trials and difficulties are a part of life. James shows us that the trials around us produce temptations within us. We are all tempted but we do not have to sin. As we follow Jesus faithfully, what we will find is the strength to endure our trials and the power to overcome our temptations.

Receiving Real Answers for Real Problems | Pastor Ben Dixon
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
As we continue in our study today, we are reminded that James is very familiar with the difficulties that many Christians face. His advice thus far has been to sustain a joyful attitude in trials because we know that God gives us endurance so that we can fully mature into the likeness of Jesus Christ. In today’s passage, we will learn about the danger of doubt and how to receive real answers for the problems we face as followers of Jesus Christ.
