Pastor Dustin Wilds • November 2, 2025"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18

Guest speaker Pastor Eric Jackson reminded us that God calls us not to stay stuck in fear or the past, but to go forward in faith. Drawing from Exodus 14, Pastor Eric unpacks the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea—trapped between their past and an impossible future—and shows how God still makes a way where there seems to be none. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, discouragement, or a season that feels like a dead end, this message will stir your faith to trust the God who fights for you and leads you into what’s next.October 19, 2025

In this sermon "A Seat at the Table," Pastor Dustin Wilds shares a powerful reminder that God has personally prepared a place for each of us — not just in eternity, but right here and now. Centered on Psalm 23:5, this sermon explores the beauty of God’s table: a place of restoration, unity, and overflowing grace, even in the midst of opposition.Tracing a theme from the feasts of the Old Testament to the promise of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Pastor Dustin reveals how God’s invitation reaches beyond barriers and divisions. Every person has a place. Every story is welcome. Every heart can find belonging in His presence.It’s an encouraging word of hope — a reminder that your seat is already set, and the Shepherd has made room for you at His table.October 12, 2025

In this message, Pastor Dustin Wilds reminds us that even in life’s lowest valleys, God’s presence blooms with beauty and grace. Drawing from Song of Solomon 2:1, he reveals Jesus as the Lily of the Valley — pure, faithful, and ever-present in our seasons of pain and trial.From Genesis to Revelation, every page points to Him — the One who steps into our brokenness, walks through our valleys, and turns ashes into beauty. Whether you’re standing on the mountaintop or walking through the shadows, this message will renew your faith that Jesus meets us right where we are — and His presence still changes everything.

Pastor Dustin Wilds shares the story of Eutychus — a young man who fell asleep during Paul’s sermon and fell from a window, only to be restored to life. Through this passage, Pastor Wilds reminds us that falling doesn’t mean it’s over. Whether we’ve stumbled in faith, grown weary in spirit, or drifted halfway between the world and the Word, God’s grace still reaches lower than our fall.This sermon challenges believers to move from spiritual sleep to spiritual strength — to stop sitting in the window and step fully into God’s calling. No matter how far you’ve fallen, your story isn’t finished, because with God, falling is not final.

In this sermon, Pastor Dustin preaches a powerful message titled “A Place to Belong.” Drawing from Psalm 68:6, he reminds us that God places the lonely into families and that the church is more than a building—it’s a home where everyone is welcomed, valued, and loved. We are called to be a church where no one feels like an outsider, but instead finds family, purpose, and the transforming power of Christ. This message will encourage you to see that in God’s house, you truly have a place to belong.

Pastor Dustin brings a powerful message titled “Will Thou Be Made Whole.”  Drawing from the story at the pool of Bethesda, he invites us to consider how Jesus still speaks healing and restoration into our lives today. With warmth and encouragement, this message reminds us that true wholeness is only found in Christ. We pray this stirs and uplifts your spirit!

Parables For The Many, Clarity For The Hungry. Parábolas Para La Multitude, Claridad Para Los Hambrientos. Pastor Angel De Hoyos

In this message, “Bless You” from 2 Kings 4, Pastor Dustin Wilds unpacks the unusual miracle of a boy raised from the dead after sneezing seven times. Through this story, we’re reminded that God can bring life into hopeless situations, that persistence in prayer matters, and that sometimes the smallest signs carry the greatest meaning. Be encouraged to trust God in both the ordinary and the extraordinary—He’s still in the business of miracles!

Pastor Dustin brings a message titled “When Jesus Passes By.” In Mark 6:48, the disciples were caught in a storm—struggling, weary, and afraid—when Jesus came to them walking on the water. The scripture says He would have passed them by, and sometimes in our own lives it feels like He’s doing the same. But here’s the truth: even when He seems silent, He’s never absent. He saw the disciples before they saw Him, and He sees us right in the middle of our storms. Today’s message is a reminder that Jesus always shows up, often in the darkest moments, to reveal more of who He is. We believe this word will encourage your faith and remind you that you’re never alone.

Pastor Dustin reminds us that we may not always get it perfect, but we’re pursuing the Spirit, not the flesh. God’s forgiveness has already been paid for through Jesus—it’s not just offered, it must be received. When we accept His forgiveness, we walk in freedom from guilt, shame, and condemnation. Friend, you don’t have to leave the same way you came in. His grace is enough, His mercy still reigns, and His forgiveness is yours today. Amen!

In this message, Pastor Dustin Wilds takes us to John 20, where the resurrected Jesus speaks first to Mary Magdalene and then to Thomas. To Mary, He says, “Do not cling to me,” and to Thomas just days later, “Reach out and touch my hands.” Through these encounters we see that faith can look like holding on, and at other times it means letting go. Pastor Dustin reminds us that Jesus meets each of us right where we are—whether in grief, in doubt, or in hope—and that one encounter with the risen Christ will change us forever.
