Northwest Foursquare Church Sermon Podcast

An Interpretation Problem | Pastor Dan Fernandez

Have you ever struggled with a critical spirit? God is a God who welcomes us into participating in what He is doing in and around us. We are not called to simply watch from a distance. How do we go from criticism to celebration and participation? We must correct our lens with the truth of God's word.

The Family That Heals | Ben and Brigit Dixon

Life has a way of leaving us broken: through the pain of broken relationships, loss, disappointment, betrayal, and even our own sinful choices. But, God’s plan is not just to forgive us—it’s also to heal us. In His family, the church, He meets us in our pain, brings comfort and restoration, and then uses our story to help bring healing to others.

The Family God Is Building | Pastor Ben Dixon

Today we’re kicking off a brand-new series called The Family of God. And here’s the big idea: when God saves us, He doesn’t just rescue us as individuals and send us on our way—He brings us into a family. The church isn’t a club, it’s not a crowd, it’s not just a Sunday event—it’s God’s household. That’s what makes following Jesus both beautiful and challenging. Beautiful, because you’re no longer on the outside looking in —you belong. Challenging, because family takes work—it requires forgiveness, commitment, and love. Over the next several weeks, we’re going to see what it really means to be the family of God—how we relate to one another, how we welcome others in, and how we live out our mission together. But today, we’re going to start where Paul starts in Ephesians 2—by remembering where we came from, celebrating what Jesus has done to bring us near, and seeing that God is still building us together as His family.

Remember God's Invitation | Pastor Jared Hunt

As christians, we know that we have all sinned–but it is the power of Christ and His work on the cross that has saved us. Because of this, we can live in true freedom from sin and condemnation. How do we allow this truth continuously transform us? We must remember who God is, through the truth of His word, and the life he invites us into.

Embracing Your Biblical Identity | Pastor Scott Dungan

Today we face many challenges to who we are as people. Pressures to conform to secular culture are all around us. But where do we find our identity? Our identity is found in Christ and in the truth of His word. We live set apart from this world. We don't abide by the ways this world; rather, we belong to Christ.

Faithful Giving / Generous Living | Pastor Ben Dixon

As we close our series called “Jesus, Money and Stuff”, we focus our attention to the heart of Christian giving. The Bible teaches us to give faithfully through tithes, generously through offerings, and compassionately through alms. In Christ, giving is not a burden but a joyful response to God’s grace, a way to put Him first, support His mission, and show His love to those in need.

We are Prayer Warriors | Pastor Ben Dixon

Prayer is not a side activity for the Christian—it is our battlefield, our lifeline, and one of our greatest weapons. Inevery generation, God looks for prayer warriors who will push back darkness by calling on God to do what only He can. Genesis 18 gives us a powerful picture in Abraham, who stood before the Lord and interceded for an entire city as he contended for his relatives. Today, God is still looking for men and women who will hear His voice, take a stand, fight in the Spirit, and persevere in prayer until we see God’s answer. Friends, we are those people—we are prayer warriors!

Biblical Wisdom For Managing Money | Pastor Ben Dixon

We live in a culture that pushes us to earn more, spend more, and worry more about money—yet God offers a better way. The Bible is full of timeless wisdom for how we handle money which is important for every follower of Jesus. Today, we’re going to look at four simple, practical principles that can guide every financial decision you make: Give, Pay, Save, and Spend. Whether you’re just starting out, climbing out of debt, or trying to pass on wisdom to your family, these truths can help you honor God with your money and live with greater peace and freedom.

Freedom From the Power of Greed | Pastor Ben Dixon

We live in a world that constantly tells us we need MORE to be happy, important, and secure. But Jesus offers us a radically different way to live. In Luke chapter 12, He warns us about the deceptive and destructive power of greed—a condition of the heart that enslaves us to our stuff and separates us from what truly matters. In our message today, we will confront the lies we often believe about money and possessions and embrace the practices that lead to freedom, generosity, and a life that is rich toward God.

Rekindle Your Flame | Pastor Ben Dixon

We have all experienced times in our life when the fire of our faith begins to fade—whether through discouragement, distraction, or simply the ups and downs of life. In 2 Timothy 1:6–7, the Apostle Paul urges Timothy to reject spiritual passivity and fan into flame a fresh passion for the gifts and calling that God had given him. Through this passage, we are challenged to rekindle our spiritual passion, to reject fear, and to embrace the work and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are expecting God to stir up a fresh fire in our hearts again!
