In this week's edition of our sermon series "Samson Syndrome," Pastor Dustin guides us through Judges 15 and how our unhealed hurt can hurt not only us, but the people around us!

Redemption | Joseph | Pastor Dustin Reimer by Cornwall Church

Continuing our series on the life of Samson, Pastor Dustin walks us through the beginning of Judges 14. Just because something looks good to us doesn't mean that it's good for us - temptation always shows us what looks good without showing us the real cost behind it, so we've got to be careful when letting what looks good have our attention! - Listen to the message here!

As we continue our series SAMSON SYNDROME, Pastor Dustin challenges us to ask the question "who am I becoming?" God is stirring something in us, He has a purpose and gift for each of us, but are we giving our attention to things that make us more like Him? - Listen to the message here!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 14:26–40

One day your kids and grandkids will describe what it was like growing up in your home. What will they say? In this message, Pastor Dustin kicks off our new series, Good Ol' Days, with a simple but weighty question: what will your children and grandchildren say was passed down because of you? Every family is building a legacy, whether intentional or not. Scripture is clear that faith is meant to be passed from generation to generation, but that only happens when we're intentional about how we build our homes. Pastor Dustin walks through four practical shifts every family can make to become a home worth remembering: making God the center of your home, planting your family in God's house, living for something bigger than yourselves, and building rhythms your kids won't forget. He's honest that your family doesn't need to see a perfect Christian — they need to see a real one. Whether your kids are little or grown, it's not too late to start building something that outlasts you. Watch now, and if this speaks to you, share it with someone building a home of their own. New here? We'd love to have you join us in person or online. Subscribe for the rest of the Good Ol' Days series. A prayer for our kids: Heavenly Father, thank You for the kids You have entrusted to us. May they know You, love You, and find their identity in You. Give them wisdom to make good choices, courage to stand for what is right, and strength to resist what would pull them away from You. Surround them with the right friends and Godly influences. Help them grow in confidence, kindness, and character. Give them favor with their teachers, leaders, coaches, and friends. Use their lives to bring light wherever they go. Go before them, walk beside them, and let Your hand of favor, blessing, and protection rest upon them. In Jesus' name, Amen.

As we kick off our new series SAMSON SYNDROME, Pastor Dustin teaches us about Samson being called before he was born. A lot of times we allow culture to place labels on us, but God has already seen us and called us before we were ever born, and when we lean on Him and His guidance we're able to lean into our God-given identity! - Listen to the message here!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 14:1–25

You're invited. The only question is how you'll respond. In Matthew 22:1-14, Jesus tells the story of a king who prepares a wedding banquet for his son and sends servant after servant to bring people in — even after being refused, ignored, and mistreated. It's a parable about God the Father (the King), Jesus (the son), and the Kingdom of God (the banquet). And it closes out our series with one of the most direct pictures in Scripture of who God is, how we respond to Him, and what He actually requires of us. Pastor Dustin walks through three truths from this parable: The King Keeps Inviting God doesn't send one invitation and walk away. He keeps pursuing us — often in ways we don't expect: through people, through pain, through success, through conviction, and even through our own questions. The King Deserves a Response The parable shows three ways people respond to God's invitation: some reject Him outright, some neglect Him by getting distracted with ordinary life (Hebrews 2:3), and some try to approach Him on their own terms. As Pastor Dustin puts it, "The enemy doesn't always tempt us with evil. Sometimes he distracts us with ordinary life." The King Provides What He Requires The banquet has a dress code, and none of us can meet it on our own (Romans 3:10, 23; Isaiah 64:6). But God doesn't just demand righteousness — He supplies it. Through Christ, we're clothed in a righteousness that isn't our own (2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:27). "The gospel is not God pretending we are righteous. It is God giving us the righteousness of His Son." Religion says, "Become worthy." Jesus says, "Receive what I have done." Key Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14, Romans 3:10, 22-24, Isaiah 64:6, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:27, Hebrews 2:3

This week on the Grow in Grace Podcast, Bobby sits down with Pastor Dustin and Pastor Jose to reflect on our first-ever combined English and Grace en Español worship service. Together, they unpack the heart behind 1 Corinthians 13, the beauty of worshiping as one church in two languages, and why love is at the center of the Christian life.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13

We all read this parable and assume we're the hero. But before you can extend mercy like the Good Samaritan, you have to admit you were once the man in the ditch — helpless, wounded, and unable to save yourself. In this message, Pastor Dustin walks through Luke 10:25-37 and asks the question we usually skip: who are you really in this story? The lawyer looking for loopholes instead of opportunities to love? The robbers who use people as a means to an end? The priest and Levite who see the need and walk past because it's inconvenient? Or the wounded man who needs someone to stop for him? The good news isn't "try harder to be the Good Samaritan." The good news is that Jesus is the one who crossed the road for us — He saw us helpless, bound our wounds, paid our debt, and promised to come back for us. Only people who've received that kind of mercy can actually give it away. If you've ever walked past a need because it cost you something, or you're exhausted from trying to earn what's already been given, this message is for you.

The truly blessed life is found not in comfort or approval but in faithfully following Jesus, even when it brings opposition, because our greatest reward is found in Him and His kingdom.   Pastor Dustin Johnston

It's Pastor Dustin's last sermon series! Paul encouraged the Thessalonians to continue to live a life consistent with the teachings of Jesus. In the same way, Pastor Dustin wants Vintage to keep living a life that is pleasing to God, filled with hope, and committed to the church.

It's Pastor Dustin's last sermon series! Paul was grateful for the Thessalonians and loved them so much he longed to see them again. In the same way, Pastor Dustin is grateful for Vintage, loves Vintage, and finds joy in Vintage.

When God Lets the Boat Break | The Book of Acts

In this week's message in our "Fight For Faith" series, Pastor Dustin walks us through Hebrews 12 and the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus over everything else!

In Galatians 6, Paul reminds believers that following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. We are called to lovingly and gently walk alongside one another, helping carry burdens, restoring those who are struggling, and pointing each other back to the Gospel. Rather than approaching others with pride or condemnation, we are called to serve with humility, remembering our own need for God's grace.This message challenges us to move toward people who are hurting, recognizing that healthy Christian community asks not, "What have you done?" but "Where have you been?" As followers of Jesus, we are called to bear one another's burdens and reflect Christ's love by walking together through every season of life.

  As we continue our series FIGHT FOR FAITH, Pastor Dustin teaches us about Hebrews 11 and the importance of faith! Faith isn't about knowing where we're going, but it's trusting God to lead us in every circumstance - it sees God's character and faithfulness before it sees other results! - Listen to the message here!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 11:2–16

Every father wonders if he's giving his kids what they really need. Every son or daughter — at some point — wonders the same thing about themselves: Who am I? Am I loved? Where am I going? Why am I here? This Father's Day, Pastor Dustin and his son Aiden — our Middle School Pastor — team up to answer those questions through Scripture, sharing the four gifts every father gives: Identity, Security, Direction, and Purpose. "If we don't know who we are, we'll spend our lives becoming whatever everyone else says we should be." Whether you had a great dad, a complicated relationship with your father, or you're raising kids of your own right now, this message points to a Father whose love isn't based on performance — and who offers you these same four gifts today. The Four Gifts of a Father: Identity — Who Am I? Security — Am I Loved? Direction — Where Am I Going? Purpose — Why Am I Here? Scriptures referenced: Genesis 49:22-26, Matthew 3:17, Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 2:10, Romans 8:15

  In week 10 of our series FIGHT FOR FAITH, Pastor Dustin teaches us the importance of holding on to hope in difficult circumstances. It's easy to lose hope when we focus on the circumstances around us, but it's important that we keep our hope tethered to Who God is instead of how we feel! - Listen to the message here!

In this week's message, Pastor Dustin guides us through all of Hebrews 9 and how Jesus' death on the cross bridged the gap between us and the Father!

The Goads Were Grace | The Book of Acts

This week, Pastor Dustin discusses Hebrews 8 and how Jesus offers us a new life in Him!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1–13

Much of our anxiety comes from trying to control a future we cannot see. In this sermon, we learn how God's sovereignty frees us from the illusion of control and invites us to trust his will with confidence.   Pastor Dustin Johnston

As we continue the Fight for Faith series walking through Hebrews, Pastor Dustin talks about the foundations of faith that are mentioned in the first three verses of Hebrews chapter 6. Before we can focus on going DEEPER, we have to understand Repentance, Faith, Baptism, Laying Hands, Resurrection, and Eternity. 

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 7:10–24

Life is full of choices — and every choice you make is making you. On this Graduate Sunday, Pastor Dustin uses the dramatic story of Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27 to unpack what it really means to make wise decisions. Whether you're stepping into a new season or navigating the storms already around you, this message is for everyone. Three questions every skilled decision-maker must ask: WHERE are you placing yourself? The environments you choose today will shape the person you become tomorrow. WHO are you surrounding yourself with? Not everyone deserves a seat in your inner circle. Pastor Dustin breaks down five qualities to look for in the people closest to you. WHY are you doing what you do? If you don't decide what drives your life, something else will. The Holy Spirit — pneuma in Greek, meaning breath, wind, and movement — is available to lead you into purpose. As Joshua challenged a generation: "Choose this day whom you will serve." Because indecision is still a decision. Scripture: Acts 27:21-32 | Psalm 1:1 | Proverbs 27:6, 17 | Amos 3:3 | Romans 8:14 | Joshua 24:15

Continuing our series on the book of Hebrews, Pastor Dustin walks us through Hebrews chapter 5. Healthy things grow, and if we want a healthy relationship with God we have to put in some work - growth isn't automatic, it's not something you stumble into, it's an intentional decision! - Listen to the message here!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 7:1–9

In week 4 of our series FIGHT FOR FAITH, Pastor Dustin teaches us about the importance of God's Word. The bible isn't just something we read for information, but it can transform our lives when we let it - it reveals what's really within us, fully exposing our hearts to God, and we can be healed of what it reveals through Jesus! - Listen to the message here!

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 6:9–20

As we continue through the book of Hebrews, Pastor Dustin reminds us to not lose sight of the miracles that God has done. When we become "too familiar" with how God moves, it can cause us to lose our wonder when He does! Listen to the message here!

Week 3 of our series Same Power takes us into one of the most powerful transformation stories in Scripture—the encounter of Saul with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In Acts 9, we meet a man driven by anger, control, and opposition to the very movement God was building. Yet in a moment, everything changes. This message reminds us that no matter where you are, what you've done, or how far you feel from God, He is not distant—He is pursuing. Pastor Dustin walks through three powerful truths about what God can do with a life: God can meet you where you are. Even when you're not searching for Him, He knows how to find you. There is no place too far, no moment too dark, where His presence cannot reach. God can change you more than you think. Where others see brokenness or failure, God sees potential and purpose. No one is beyond the transforming power of Jesus. God can use you in ways you never imagined. Your story doesn't end where it started. God calls, equips, and sends ordinary people into extraordinary purpose through His grace. This message is a reminder that the same power that stopped Saul in his tracks is still at work today—meeting people, transforming hearts, and calling lives into purpose. Ephesians 3:20 declares that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power at work within us. That power is not distant—it is active, personal, and available. If you've ever felt too far gone, too broken, or unsure of your purpose, this message is for you.

What if the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you today? In Week 1 of our new series Same Power, Pastor Dustin teaches on the reality of the Holy Spirit—not as an abstract force, but as the personal presence of God living within every believer. This message unpacks what it means to not just believe in Jesus, but to be empowered by His Spirit to live the life you were created for. Through powerful scriptures like Ephesians 1:19–20, Acts 1:8, and John 14:12–14, we are reminded that Christianity is not about striving harder, but about receiving power. Salvation brings new life, but the Holy Spirit equips us with boldness, victory over sin, and supernatural gifts to impact the world around us. In this message, you'll discover: – Why you were created for the power of the Holy Spirit – The difference between being saved and being empowered – How to receive the fullness of the Spirit – What changes when the Holy Spirit is active in your life God didn't just save you from something—He empowered you for something. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives in you. The question is: are you walking in that power? If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement and truth today. Subscribe for more messages from Citizen Church and stay connected with what God is doing.

Celebrating Resurrection Sunday at Purpose Church, Pastor Dustin teaches us about what the empty tomb really means. The empty tomb proves to us that Jesus is Who He says He is, and that we have hope because God really does work through the most impossible circumstances to make something good! - Listen to the message here!

He is risen. And because He is risen, everything changes. This Resurrection Sunday message from Pastor Dustin walks us through the most pivotal moment in human history—the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus—and reveals why it still matters for us today. From the cross to the empty tomb, and all the way to the road to Emmaus, we are reminded that what seemed like the end was actually the beginning of living hope. At the center of this message is a powerful truth: the resurrection is not just an event to celebrate, it is a reality that transforms how we live. Through this message, we discover three life-changing truths about the resurrection: First, what Jesus has proven. When Jesus declared, “It is finished” on the cross, the resurrection was God's “Amen.” It confirmed that everything Jesus said, everything He promised, and everything He fulfilled was true. The resurrection is the ultimate validation that Jesus is who He said He is—the Son of God, with power over sin and death. Second, what Jesus has defeated. Sin, death, and the grave once held humanity captive. Sin separated, death ended, and the grave sealed. But the resurrection reverses all three. Because of Jesus, death no longer has the final word, and the worst thing is never the last thing. Third, what Jesus has begun. The resurrection is not only about life after death—it is about new life right now. In Christ, we are made new. What was once dead can come alive again. What was broken can be restored. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us today. This message is an invitation to move from simply knowing about the resurrection to living in the power of it. It calls us to a deeper faith, a renewed hope, and a transformed life. No situation is beyond redemption. No life is beyond renewal. And no story is finished when Jesus is involved. Do you believe this?

Kicking off our new series CHECKMATE, Pastor Dustin teaches us about Palm Sunday and Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. The people were excited, expecting Him to be a military leader and king, but God had other things in store. Sometimes God doesn't show up how we want Him to, but He always has something better in store! - Listen to the message here!
