Pastor Ben Dixon

Pastor Ben continues his series on Spiritual Warefare.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day we recognize that God is the one who actually calls us to honor our mothers. In Exodus 20:12 we read, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.” This happens to be the only commandment with a promise which means that God places a very high priority on honoring our parents.

Nobody would dispute that mothers are worthy of honor, but today we are going to discuss some of the why behind our honor. We begin by saying thank you to all of you who are mothers and we pray that you are refreshed and encouraged on this special day!

As we follow Jesus faithfully, we find that there is very real opposition to our personal growth and Gospel advancement. Spiritual warfare is a part of our lives, but God has not left us to figure things out on our own. He has given us His Word which enables us to overcome opposition by attaching our faith to the truth and destroy lies in our own lives and those around us. In our teaching today we will learn how to use the weapon of God’s Word to overcome every enemy and emerge as overcomers in Jesus’ name.

Whether we realize this or not, every Christian is engaged in spiritual warfare on some level. There is more going on behind the scenes and it is vital for us to have a clear understanding and sharp discernment about the nature and activity of our enemy. Our goal today in this message is not to focus on the enemy but rather to expose him and clarify our posture in order to remain strong in the Lord.

In this powerful gospel message Pastor Ben Dixon preaches the proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus rose from the dead we have hope; life after death, fuel for our faith, and the power of sin broken.

Northwest Church is ON MISSION with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made. This is our mission statement and the four words that help summarize HOW we accomplish our mission as a church family are: REACH, RESTORE, EQUIP and SEND. We have discussed what the church is and now we are looking at what the church does – and specifically what we do here at NWC. This week we are going to discuss how to build community with one another as we seek to accomplish the mission of Jesus.

Today we want to discuss a statement that Jesus made concerning His people who represent Him and His Father which was, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.” In a sense, this is an expression of Jesus’ mission in the world today that is carried out by the church. We are a church that REACHES UP to God in prayer because we know that God hears us and answers us according to His will. If we are to carry out the mission of Jesus effectively then we must continue to grow as a house of prayer.
