Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

Bill Johnson speaks on the momentum of cultural transformation, a study of the life of King Solomon. Kings who rule with a servant's heart were God's idea and He's calling us all to be kings. Only someone who knows their royal identity can participate in royal generosity and, in so doing, invest in eternity!

Danny Silk confronts the mentality that as believers we have to insulate ourselves against the suffering of others. Jesus was the one who said that "whatever you did unto the least of these you did unto Me." Acting with compassion is not about reacting to guilt trips; it's about being willing to accompany someone in their pain. May we be a people whose lives shout "I love you" and who bring the ki...

Bill Johnson reminds us that God's heart is for cities, regions and nations to be transformed. Our role is to dream with Him and plant words of hope and promise into the people of our cities that blossom into destiny. The reality is that all of eternity is impacted by the choices we're making now!

Bill Johnson highlights God's wisdom depicted in the early life of Solomon, a prototype of the church. God desires to release an extraordinary measure of blessing over a people who will maintain a servant's heart, devotion and purity as they pursue His wisdom for the answers to the world's problems. That supernatural wisdom, displayed in loving, servant-hearted believers, will usher in the most un...

Bill Johnson encourages us to fight not according to the flesh but according to the mandate God has given us! The battleground is in individual minds but the victory is one that will shape our entire culture. Demonic strongholds are no match for simple prayer empowered by God's grace.

Kris Valloton inspires us to not be afraid of pain. Pain has a purpose so it's important to go through it not around it. Don't reduce your life to accommodate your pain; trust God and deal with it!

Eric Johnson addresses the tension between preparation and flexibility in the pursuit of excellence. We're entering into a new season where we need to be prepared to suddenly change course according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let's come together and have a corporate expectancy for the unknown!

Bill Johnson talks about the four cornerstones of thought that are the boundaries of our faith. God is good- because He is better than we think we must change the way we think! Nothing is impossible- through faith we enter into realms that were formerly defined as impossible. Everything was won at Calvary- Jesus's death on the cross was ultimate victory. Everyone is significant- the Father decided...

A special guest of Eric Johnson shares her incredible testimony of encountering the love of God and converting from Islam to Christianity. The love of Jesus will refresh you and the power of the Holy Spirit will inspire you as you listen to her story of radical forgiveness and reconciliation. She powerfully reminds us that we don't serve the god of hatred; we serve the God of love!

Eric Johnson reminds us to prepare now for the doors that the Lord is opening. Stay rooted, embrace humility and learn from instruction. It's in the "off seasons" that God prepares us for what is coming next: success!

Bill Johnson shares the secret to a victorious lifestyle: constant dependence on grace. Sin is not anyone's predestined path! A lifestyle of prayer prepares us to face unexpected trials and triumph over adversity.

Eric Johnson admonishes us to be like Daniel who served a wicked king yet remained consecrated. Today there are Daniels in the body of Christ who are meant to serve outside of the four walls of the church. As God opens up doors and marks us with his favor, we must not lose sight of purity because it is that very quality of holiness that attracts people!

Bill Johnson speaks on the power of the blood of Jesus to redeem us out of any lifestyle of sin. God, our loving Father, has zero approval for sin but He is always willing to help us. His grace does not excuse sin; it empowers righteous living!

Bill Johnson elaborates on Isaiah 35 and what it means for the community of God to actually take ownership of each other's weaknesses and problems. People who are possessed with God's love for others can't help but create the kind of environment that He loves to invade! If we are to experience an atmosphere that is infused with constant supernatural breakthrough then we must embrace the assignment...

As the body of Christ, we are meant to be the great dispenser of Heaven's joy and blessing. Out of the abundance of what we have, we give away! We have been commissioned to serve our cities and leaders by opening up their dreams so that God can shine on them.

Light works best in the darkest places. Now that the light is within you, you can go into dark places and not be guilty by association! Let us trust the light and shine it all around!

Sitting, walking, and standing are the three postures of the believer. As we assume those positions, we engage with heaven in the unfolding of God's purposes on the earth! We rest in the finished work of the cross but we must also walk according to the call we've received and stand firm in his promises if we are to see his kingdom come.

Community works! Banning shares his insight on how Christianity was always meant to work in the context on community. In community, we find the strength and grace we need to fulfill the commission that the Lord has given us.

God is continually inviting us to come up higher. It's time to survey our inheritance from His perspective: every enemy has been both defeated and humiliated and put under the feet of the redeemed! We reign in life through Christ Jesus which means that nothing can come against us that we don't already have authority over because of His victory on the cross!

Though He is the rewarder of those who seek Him, God does not want us to be possessed by the reward. He wants us to be anchored in His Presence! Let the one thing that we desire and seek be the very Presence of the Lord. This will be known as the hour of extraordinary visitation and breakthrough!

We live in a time of unprecedented change and opportunity. The time is ripe for revival and reformation! As we understand more and more who we are and the time in which we live, the more we know what to do to promote the King and His Kingdom.

In every moment, God is doing something and the enemy is trying to do something. It's our responsibility to learn how to recognize what He is doing and seek first His kingdom! It's when we look for what God is already doing that we begin to see how we can be obedient to His promises.

Jesus loved, taught, and empowered women throughout his ministry on earth. He encouraged them to demonstrate the feminine side of God: passion! When He died, the curse over women was broken. He's alive and women are free!

Arise and shine for your light has come! The Lord is summoning you to live out of a heavenly reality. When you see the harvest from His perspective, you can't help but be radiant!

Heaven is crying out for the return of sons and daughters! Orphaned hearts are crying out for family and connection! As spiritual mothers and fathers to the lonely and isolated, we have the privilege of loving God's lost children back into their destinies. Key words/Scriptures: Luke 15, Deuteronomy 21, prodigal son, orphan, family, fathers, mothers, home,
