Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

Eric Johnson teaches on the importance of finding and releasing your unique voice.

The world needs authentic believers who can articulate the wonder that the endless God of the universe paid the ultimate price for the ultimate temple. Nations, cities and cultures are begging for...

Bill Johnson releases a decree and a prayer for hope. We are called to Abraham-type hope and faith, that even when all of the odds are against us we hold on to what God has spoken to us. Hope is the joyful anticipation of goodness, and this creates an atmosphere that attracts the promises of God. As you hold onto hope in dreaming with God, be encouraged to create more room in your heart for Him to...

Bill Johnson teaches on the rebuilding of cities through the restoration of broken people and the celebration of progress made by new believers.

God is giving us an opportunity to cheer one another on...

Focus on your vision for your life, because this will give your process and pain a purp...

Bill Johnson leads the congregation in prayer for those facing false accusation or night terrors and daytime panic. Taking Psalm 91 as his text, he affirms that God desires for each one to find his or her purpose in life and thus experience fullness of life that results in overflow to others (Ps. 67:1). Divine protection and healing are found in the Presence of God, and the past is under the blood...

Eric Johnson shares a message on the kingdom importance of living life in community. When the Holy Spirit fell in the book of Acts, two things happened: the Kingdom advanced in miraculous ways, and community grew stronger amongst believers.

Kris Vallotton continues his series on giving authority to women in and out of the church. Kris sheds light and brings understanding to Paul’s verses in 1 Corinthians regarding women.

Paul Manwaring shares a message on the roles we each play as we answer the call to be fathers and mothers. Our heavenly Father sends us a spirit of adoption that transforms us, so that we are no longer orphans but sons and daughters. In becoming sons and daughters, we will transform the world by stepping into our roles as mothers and fathers to an orphaned planet that is crying out to be loved.

Danny Silk explains how God gives us promises because He knows that an obstacle course of trials lies between where we currently are and our promise being realized. Maturity happens as we intentionally negotiate these trials, knowing that our heavenly Father is faithfully with us through the adventure. Take courage to pursue and embrace a path of maturity with God, and pick up the gems of wisdom t...

Banning Liebscher talks about how every single one of us is called to be a part of a team that changes the world, carries the presence of God, and leads in the sphere we’re in!

The most strategic thing you can do in your life is separate yourself to the inner room of prayer, where you’ll find God’s...

Kris Vallotton continues his series on Prophets by concluding his message from last Sunday night about false prophets. He briefly reviews part one of this message, then continues to explain the importance of testing each spirit to see if it is from God before believing it.

Eric Johnson shares his personal story of falling in love with scripture. The Bible is not simply a text, but it is the living word of God. It is the most relevant book to any person, in any situation, at any point in time. Be encouraged to take moments to give God permission to speak to you through his word as you build a history with the Bible.

Bill Johnson teaches on what we can learn from three miracle births in the Bible; from Sarah, Hannah and Mary.

Be encouraged that God wants to do the impossible through you, and be bold to share your unique story!

Kris Vallotton continues his series on prophets by explaining how they comfort and protect nations. Some of the core fruits of prophecy are that people would be edified, exhorted and consoled.

Be encouraged because your personal victory wi...

Pastor Bill then leads u...

Bill Johnson teaches on the true demonstration of being a disciple of Jesus - humbling ourselves and taking up our cross. In our journey, God gives us seasons of increase and promotion. It’s important that when we are given those promotions, we choose to go low, pick up our cross and sacrifice. When you sacrifice, you may be the only one who experiences the pain and cost, but in your day of breakt...
