Pastor Ben Dixon

In our text today, we will see that before Jesus shows us the plan He desires to remind us of who He is and so He pulls back the curtain to reveal His glory and power as we trust Him for the unfolding future.

Have you ever been confronted about how different you are from God? Have you ever been angry with Him? Today, Pastor Ben concludes his series in the book of “Jonah” with a message entitled “Running from the Heart of God.” In it, he’ll not only show how God is bringing a message the city of Nineveh, but He’s bringing the same message to His prophet Jonah. It’s a message for many of us, the ones who...

False prophets will intentionally lie by telling people what they want to hear in order to gain favor or even a following of others.   -  The fundamental issue regarding false prophets is that they are not Christians, and therefore do not have the Holy Spirit living inside them. 

Have you ever felt like you’re beyond hope due to a past failure in your life? Well, you’re not alone! Today’s message, “A Message and a Messenger”, is a great lesson on how God takes our weaknesses and failures and actually makes them part of His message of hope and deliverance for others! All it takes is a few good, humble choices.

We don’t want to waste anything. Isn’t that an interesting way to look at life, especially when life isn’t going as we expected? In today’s fourth message from his Jonah series, Pastor Ben looks at how God uses difficult situations in our lives to make us more like Jesus. He calls his message, “Refinement in Confinement.” If you’re feeling a bit confined these days, this is a great word for you!

It’s not too late. That’s the name of the next message in Pastor Ben’s series in the book of Jonah. It’s not to late for what? For us to turn away from things that keep us from God and turn towards Him! It’s a great reminder that God’s always ready to pour His mercy upon us and everyone, as we turn our hearts towards Him.

God is everywhere and He knows everything. Today Pastor Ben continues his Jonah series and shares how it was impossible for Jonah to run away from God. And when he tries, there are great consequences, not only for him, but for the people all around him. We’re probably familiar with the story, but have we, like Jonah, fallen asleep? Do we need to wake up to the things God is calling us to?

All throughout Scripture we read about times in history where God’s people united together in prayer and fasting. We believe that this is such a time in 2020, so we are calling the body of Christ to press into God through prayer fasting during the month of August. As we seek God together in this way we expect that He will speak to us and move powerfully in our hearts and homes (Hebrews 11:6). If N...

What comes to mind when you consider the familiar stories from the book of Jonah? Have you ever considered what its message is to the church in these current times? Today, Pastor Ben takes us to a great place to find answers. Let’s see what Jesus has to say about Jonah that helps us understand its implications in our world.

Pastor Ben shares chapter 1 from his book "Prophesy."

As we study chapter 4 today, we come full circle and realize that this book is not just about the repentance of the people who are preached to, but rather the prophet who does the preaching. Unlike any other prophetic book, we get a window into the soul of a person who is nothing like the God that he serves. As we will see today, Jonah was not merely running from the call of God, but he was runnin...

One of the great lessons of Jonah’s failure and forgiveness is that God can continue to use those who return to Him. Thankfully, we know that God gives second chances to each one of us. Just like Jonah, throughout history, many spiritual leaders received a second chance to do what God had called them to do. Adam sinned in the garden, and God covered him. Moses murdered a man, and God called him. E...

God’s goal for each one of us is to walk with Him closely and to be a part of His plan in this world. However, like Jonah we can often run from, resist, and rebel against what God wants to do. That doesn’t always look the same, and many of us have even learned how to hide the reality of our running. However, God is committed to pursuing us, and even disciplining our lives if need be, in order to t...

We can all relate to aspects of what we have seen in Jonah’s life. Here is the best part of all of this—God is not finished with Jonah, and He is not finished with us. It’s not too late! As the story of Jonah continues to unfold we see the mercy of our God in the midst of it all. This is the hope that we have—not that we are perfect or that we have done everything right but that God can give us an...

Today we are able to see what happens when a person runs from God in their disobedience. The fact is, our choices affect not only our own lives but that of everyone around us. However, the longer we remain in a posture of disobedience, the more we forfeit our ability to love, help, and serve others. There will always be consequences to our sin, and before our hearts become hard we must surrender o...

Jesus didn’t think that Jonah was a mythical person. In fact, Jesus used the account of Jonah as a comparison when He predicted the three-day unfolding of His death, burial, and resurrection.
