Numbers 20:1-13 “Embracing the Wilderness…”
Jul 6, 2025 • Art Dykstra
n this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Art Dykstra shares his journey from a corporate career to becoming the “accidental pastor,” using Numbers 20 to illustrate how God employs life’s wilderness experiences as a school of faith. He explains that the wilderness strips away pride and self-reliance, teaching believers to trust God, worship through trials, walk in His ways, and repent quickly. Through Israel’s journey and personal anecdotes, like his family’s painful loss, Pastor Art emphasizes that embracing the wilderness—whether it’s illness, waiting, or uncertainty—leads to spiritual maturity and prepares us for God’s promised abundant life, both now and eternally.
