The Bible is the rulebook by which we live, and the voice of the Holy Spirit gives us direction within that framework. Pastor Ben Dixon teaches on hearing God's voice within the Bible and in our personal lives.

We live in a world that is filled with knowledge and most people have far more information than the average person in previous generations. 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.

Hearing the voice of God is not just a personal belief that some hold but rather it is a Biblical reality that is available to all who are in Christ.  We believe in the personal voice of the Spirit to each believer because it is taught in the Bible, seen throughout church history and experienced even today.  Join Pastor Ben as he walks through a Biblical foundation for Hearing the voice of the Spirit today!

Hearing the voice of God is all about knowing God.  Jesus restored us back into a relationship with our Heavenly Father where hearing His voice becomes more normative as we see in the Bible.

"On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

How 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 encourage or tear down? The fact is, if we don’t control our words then our words will control us. So, how do we get control over the way we speak? That is what our passage is all about today as we learn together how to tame our tongue!

From 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. This weekend, we have the privilege of hearing how God is moving in the lives of people from Northwest Church, and we pray that this will spark something in all of us to believe God for more.

I 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.

On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made.

Pastor Ben Dixon encourages us by looking at the lives of the disciples following the death and resurrection of Jesus. We see how Jesus encountered multiple groups of people following his resurrection where he moves them from Fear to Faith, from Doubt to Devotion, from Rejection to Restoration, and from Death to Life.
