Is the modern church just a marketing gimmick? Pastor Jeff Dixon challenges the trends and fads of “civilized” religion. In this “Bridge to Truth” segment, we prepare for the “Extreme” series—a deep dive into the radical invasion of the Gospel and the extreme call on every believer’s life. It’s time to move beyond the fluff and get back to the passion, hunger, and drive that changes lives.

Could the world’s most sacred artifact have been found in the most shocking location imaginable? This teaching explores the incredible, controversial claims surrounding the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant. We move beyond speculation and examine the theory that the Ark was hidden in a secret chamber beneath Golgotha—the place of the skull.
We’ll unpack the astonishing claims of the man who said he not only found it but also discovered the blood of Christ on the mercy seat, containing a chromosome count that defies science. Is this the ultimate “foolish thing to confound the wise,” or simply a fantastic tale? Sift through the history, the scripture, and the evidence as we explore a theory that, if true, changes everything.

We’ve sanitized worship. We’ve made it clean, comfortable, and convenient. But the Bible presents a different picture. Step into the outer court of the tabernacle and stand before the altar of burnt offering—a place of blood, fire, and smoke. A place where forgiveness wasn’t just a feeling; it was a messy, costly, and intentional act.
This message contrasts the visceral reality of Old Testament sacrifice with our often-casual approach to God. By understanding what it truly meant to approach a holy God, we expose a critical weakness in modern faith: our tendency to serve God only when it fits our schedule. This is a call to move beyond a “drive-thru” faith and rediscover the power and purpose that only comes through genuine, costly sacrifice.

Join us for “Sacred Wondering” as we delve into the often-misunderstood world of Tabernacle worship, specifically the outer courtyard and the altar of sacrifice. Forget your assumptions about ancient religious practices – this wasn’t a “drop-off” service where priests did all the work.
In this powerful session, we explore Leviticus chapter 1 and uncover the shocking, personal, and graphic details of what it truly meant for an Israelite to bring an offering to God. From personally choosing a spotless animal, to laying hands on its head, to slaughtering it yourself and then skinning and preparing it – worship was an immersive, bloody, and visceral experience.
Jeff challenges us to understand that this intense, hands-on process wasn’t just ritual; it was a profound act of identification and transfer, where the worshipper literally felt the weight and cost of atonement. Just as ancient Israelites couldn’t outsource their sacrifice, we cannot outsource our worship today.
This session is a vivid reminder of the holiness of God, the brutal cost of sin, and the immense, personal sacrifice of Jesus on the cross that ultimately made a permanent way for us to enter God’s presence. Prepare to be challenged, deeply moved, and gain a profound new appreciation for the Passion of the Christ and what it truly means to engage in worship.

Many of us come to faith looking for a rulebook or an answer key. But what if spiritual transformation begins not with what we know, but with what we’re willing to ask? Jesus’s ministry was built on this very idea. He consistently met people’s inquiries with questions of his own, designed to reveal the true state of their hearts.
In this candid follow-up message, we go behind the scenes of our recent series to explore the questions Jesus asks that force us to be honest: What do you truly want? Are you more comfortable being sick than getting well? Who is Jesus to you?
If you feel stuck in your spiritual journey, this message is a powerful reminder that doubt can be healthy, struggle is normal, and the path to a deeper intimacy with God is paved with honest questions.

Have you ever felt that your season of hard work—a difficult job, a challenging relationship, or a personal struggle—was a complete waste of time? This message challenges that perspective by revealing “The Grinder Code” from Proverbs 16:3. Discover how the daily, unseen, and often lonely work of faith is never wasted when it’s committed to God. Drawing a powerful parallel to the Israelites crossing the Jordan, you’ll learn that your obedience today might be setting a miracle in motion 16 miles upstream, far beyond what you can see. Learn to reframe your “lost weekends” and unseen efforts not as wasted time, but as a sacred investment that God is preparing to establish and glorify. Your faithfulness in the small moments is creating a legacy and positioning you for a breakthrough you can’t even imagine yet.
