Advertise on podcast: Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

Thank you for joining us as we share an update on our journey through walking out repentance. This has been such a tender time as a local and broader community, and we don’t want to rush past these moments. In this message, Dann Farrelly shares an update about where we are—steps we’ve taken, what’s in the works, and more. Immediately following this moment, Steve Moore leads us in a time of corporate Communion. Grab your Bibles and join us as we gather and honor Jesus together as a church family.

In this service, Pastors Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Dann Farrelly share a time of reflection, grief, repentance, and responsibility before the Lord and the wider Body of Christ. We acknowledge the weight of this season and commit to walking forward with humility and integrity. We have written a letter to more fully express our hearts, our repentance, and our commitments moving forward. Read the full statement from Bethel leadership here: bethel.ws/leadershipletter26.

God has a plan to transform the world, and He wants to do it through His people—we must fan the flame of our hearts. In this message, Bill Johnson shares a mandate God has placed on his heart for the state of California and the world. Throughout history, the power of the Gospel has been revealed through movements that carried lasting, generational impact. As we pursue God and partner with Him to bring the Gospel to the nations, we are called to fan the flame of our hearts in unity and obedience. What is the invitation for believers today, and what’s at stake if we fail to steward what God is asking of us? Take this moment to listen for what God is speaking to you personally and to pray into what He is doing in this season.   , , , , , , ,

There are key core values meant for all who follow Jesus that are designed for unlocking kingdom mentality. God is inviting His people to take inventory with the Holy Spirit, and confirm that what we value is what we believe at our core. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares key core values necessary for all believers to live from the reality of the kingdom of God. How does what we’ve lived through shape what we believe, and how do those belief systems influence the way we walk out our faith? This message is a moment to pause, reflect, and strengthen your connection with the Lord. We bless you as you listen!

We need an encounter with the provocation of God’s love. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into intentionality and surrender as we seek the heart of God together. As we enter the new year, we’re fasting to set things aside and reconnect with the person of Jesus. This message is a moment for honesty, reflection, and fresh surrender to the Lord. We believe the Holy Spirit is speaking, and as He does, we encourage you to respond. We bless your time with the Lord as you listen!

God takes us from glory to glory, but what does that actually mean, and how does it unfold in real life? In this message, Richard Gordon invites us into the often overlooked space between the former glory and the greater glory God is leading us toward. While many of us recognize the glory of God in seasons of favor, open doors, and promotion, but what about the seasons of transition—when God is refining, stretching, and repositioning us? What does faith look like when the path forward isn’t clear, and how do we remain anchored when we’re living in the “to” of what God has promised? This message is rich with wisdom, revelation, and encouragement for anyone navigating a season full of unknowns. We pray you’re refreshed, strengthened, and reminded of God’s deep love for you as you journey from glory to glory.

What does living for Christ in every season look like? As believers, we’re called to live fully surrendered to Jesus—not just in moments of inspiration, but through every season of life. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us into a deeper understanding of consistency, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. Drawing from the life of King Hezekiah, we see how God shapes leaders, disciplines those He loves, and builds internal strength so that His blessings don’t become too great for us to carry. As favor increases, so does responsibility—and true promotion is always meant to bless the people around us.This sermon speaks to the refining mercy of God, the call to remain tender and childlike, and the importance of maintaining our first love through seasons of pruning, testing, and growth. It’s a reminder that faith isn’t sustained by inspiration alone, but by lordship—by choosing obedience, worship, and trust even when emotions fade. Our prayer is that you say, "yes," to the invitation to live aware of what you’re truly living for as you devote your life to Jesus.

It’s time for the Church to live like the royalty we’ve been called to be—royalty isn’t about money, it’s about revelation. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares a compelling message about what it means to live with legacy in mind—forward in the kingdom of God. The breakthroughs, promises, and blessings God has given you and spoken over you are designed to benefit more than just you in the present. We’ve been called to live with eternity in mind, and the fruit of our lives should stretch past our generation, into the next. How do we position our hearts to live from this place? What does this look like in a practical sense? This sermon is an invitation to revelation that can transform the way we live, lead, and portray the love of God. Join us as we say, “yes,” to living like royalty!

When we pursue breakthrough as people of faith, we must consider the importance of prayer. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us to return to the place where breakthrough begins. Jesus taught us that captivity is never our normal, and a life without divine intervention, answers, or transformation is far from His will. Prayer positions us to recognize God’s solutions—often while they’re still in seed form—and to partner with what He’s releasing on the earth. We were created to co-labor with God, to carry His heart, and to steward the areas He’s entrusted to us. How are we stewarding that? What are we waiting for God to do that the Cross has already done? Is there a more effective way to pray and partner with God? Join us as we return to the original model of prayer and co-laboring with God!

We feel an invitation from the Lord to revisit God’s original plan for men. If He had a plan for men, then we, as the Body of Christ, should have one too. In this message, Jason Vallotton walks us through the spiritual stages all men are designed to grow through. From the beginning, when man was formed and filled, to God’s finishing process—where God calls, tests, equips, and commissions man—the intentionality of God’s plan for men is evident. This message is for the Body of Christ and specifically speaks to the hearts of the sons of God. He’s inviting us to remember His original design, and we’re expectant as we say “yes” together.

The original assignment given to the disciples by Jesus is to be the standard we live our lives from. We feel that God is inviting us to remember the fundamentals of the Great Commission. In this message, Bill Johnson calls us back to the original assignment Jesus entrusted to His disciples—a commission meant to be carried through every generation, not diluted by time or compromised by culture. Authority was never lost in God’s kingdom, and it’s our duty to align our awareness and lives with that truth. How does living from this truth impact the level of authority we walk in? How is righteousness and justice expressed from that place? What do we begin to value and what motivates us when we’re aligned with the reality of God’s authority? This sermon invites us into a renewed vision of collaborative partnership with God, where prayer moves mountains, lies lose their power, and the Holy Spirit is no longer a background presence but the primary Person of our lives. We bless you as you listen along with us!

Have you ever wondered about the divine design of the angelic? Everything God creates carries purpose and intention—angels are no different. In this message, Bill Johnson shares about instances where God's plans, purposes, and ways involve the angelic realm. While our worship and devotion belong to Jesus alone, Scripture reveals that angels play a vital role in the unfolding of His kingdom on earth. What purposes do angels serve in God’s design? How do we, as followers of Jesus, partner with Heaven’s strategies while keeping our hearts anchored in Him? Join us as we uncover mysteries of the spirit realm and learn how to align with God’s divine order, partnering with His presence to see Heaven released on earth.

The principles of the Promised Land invite us into more—because we were born for more than we're experiencing. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches on the design of the Promised Land. The Promised Land is a reality God designed for His people. What's the purpose of this reality? How are we to approach it? What's our responsibility and role? As you listen, we pray that you receive insight, wisdom, and practical application for the Promised Land that God has designed for you.

We are part of God's royal family—how does royalty behave? In this message, Kris Vallotton shares wisdom and insight about what it means to live as royalty. Christians are called to lead boldly with their lives. We have a responsibility to live up to a standard worth inviting others into. Practically speaking, what does that mean? What does it look and sound like in our everyday moments, including challenging situations? How do our personal lives impact the way we show up everywhere else? Listen with us as we hear stories from Kris's life throughout the years and how the Bible instructs us to walk out our lives. We pray that this insightful sermon brings you both encouragement and inspiration that strengthens your faith!

When we’re led by the presence of God, we’re not always given all the details. His leadership often looks less like a map and more like a compass, pointing us toward Him. In this message, Havilah Cunnington teaches on what it means to trust the direction of God’s voice. So often, when God speaks, He invites us into mystery. To discover more, we’re called to lean in close. His Spirit and His presence become our compass, guiding us as we go and revealing the way forward. What distinguishes this divine compass amid all the noise? What does it look like, feel like, and sound like to be led by Him? And how can we be sure we’re following His leading? Join us as Havilah unpacks what trust truly is. We pray that as you listen, your heart is stirred to lean in again and follow the still, small voice of God.
