Ever feel like you’re just taking up space? You’ve painted on a happy face, but inside, you’re completely deflated, lifeless, and worn out. This message uses one of the most unexpected props you’ll ever see in a church—a car dealership windsock dude—to unpack the profound story of Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones.
Discover the meaning of “Ruah”—the holy wind, breath, and spirit of God that can bring a vast army to life from nothing. This is more than just a sermon; it’s an invitation to experience a holy resuscitation for your soul. Stop faking it and start living.

How is your life going? Seriously – How is your life right now?
You may have heard it said that Jesus is the answer – and He is …But EXACTLY what is He the answer to?
In this surprising series we will discover that there is a huge difference between learning about Jesus and learning from Jesus – and if we are going to learn from Jesus, then we better get ready – Because Jesus has some questions!
So we might as well begin with THE QUESTION!

Ever wondered why a simple Christmas carol can move you to tears, or why even non-believers can’t help but sing along to “O Holy Night”? This isn’t just about nostalgia or holiday cheer. There’s a profound spiritual dynamic at play, a “fifth voice” that resonates deep within our souls.
Join us for a heartfelt and eye-opening discussion where we explore the deeper meaning behind our most cherished Christmas songs. We dive into the rich biblical history of singing as a response to God’s miracles and discuss the incredible idea that Jesus himself joins us in our worship.
From personal stories about a troublemaking sixth-grader who silenced a room with his voice, to a young Jewish girl joyfully singing carols she doesn’t “believe” in, we uncover how Christmas music acts as “little seeds” of faith planted in the most unexpected hearts. Discover why these timeless melodies are more than just a tradition—they are a powerful connection to our Creator, our memories, and each other.
You’ll never listen to your favorite Christmas song the same way again.

In a world increasingly filled with noise, skepticism, and a sense of purposelessness, it’s easy to buy into the lie that God has checked out. But what if the evidence of His presence is all around us, waiting to be seen?
Jeff Dixon tackles the age-old lie that “God is dead” not as a philosophical debate, but as a personal invitation to look closer. From the breathtaking complexity of the universe to the undeniable moral law written on every human heart, the fingerprints of a loving Creator are everywhere.
This episode of “Don’t Buy the Lie” is a powerful reminder that atheism offers a world without purpose, while the truth of the Gospel offers one overflowing with meaning. Discover how to see the evidence in your own life and stand firm in the knowledge that God is alive, at work, and calling you to be part of His story.

We all want a way to stay on course. For golfers, the dream is a ball that flies straight down the fairway. Such a ball once existed—the Polaris—but it was controversially banned. The story of its invention, its suppression, and the ensuing legal battle is fascinating, but it also serves as a powerful metaphor. We often look for an “easy fix” to keep our lives from veering off track, but the real secret to staying true isn’t a special tool. It’s about where you fix your focus.
