Pastor Ben Dixon

We 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.

Welcome to Bible Foundations with Ben Dixon where it's our desire to go through books of the Bible chapter by chapter. Currently, we are going through the book of Genesis together. Today’s lesson comes from Genesis chapter 24.

Repentance 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.

Is it important to go to church? In the podcast we discuss how foundational going to church is, why people stop going, and how we can continue to be a part of the church 2026!

What 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.

Death 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.

When 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.

What does Communion really mean, and why did Jesus institute it? In Luke 22, during the Passover meal with His disciples, Jesus revealed that the ancient story of Israel’s deliverance was ultimately pointing to Him. Through the bread and the cup, He showed that His body would be given and His blood shed for our redemption. In this message we explore how Communion reinterprets Passover, reveals our redemption, reminds us of our Savior, and continues to shape the life of the church today.

Worship is one of the most central practices of the Christian faith, yet it is often misunderstood or reduced to a moment, place, or a style of music. In this message, we turn to Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman in John 4, where He redefines what true worship really is. Rather than focusing on geography, tradition, or performance, Jesus reveals that worship flows from knowing who God is, responding to what He has done, and allowing that response to shape how we live. Our teaching today invites us to see worship not as something we simply do on occasion, but as a way of life formed by truth, gratitude, and obedience before God.
