Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

God has called us to be master builders who carry a royal identity and disciple nations by establishing kingdom foundations that transform cities, cultures, and generations. In this message Kris Vallotton shares how as we lay aside old mindsets and embrace a thousand-year vision, we sense the Lord expanding our capacity to partner with leaders, entrepreneurs, and generations to build what others can stand upon. God is raising up His people to carry revival beyond moments into lasting transformation, releasing His presence, power, and goodness into the world. We pray that as you listen to this message, the Lord releases His heart for transformation and the nations over you!

God is inviting us into a new season of partnership—building, discipling, and strengthening one another as we carry His kingdom into our city and the nations. In this message, Hayley Braun reminds us that we are one Body, drinking from one Spirit, and every person has a unique gift and purpose that is needed to advance together the mission given to the Church. Our gifts are not for competition or self-promotion, but to build the Church in love, maturity, and unity. We are a people of His presence and His river, called to burn with hunger, carry revival, and courageously step into all God has promised. We pray that as you listen to this sermon, the Lord encounters you with fresh fire and a deeper revelation of His heart for His people.

God designed us for communion—not only with Him, but with one another—and community is not an optional addition to the Christian life; it is part of who we are as the Body of Christ. Each of us has been uniquely created and carries something from God that is meant to encourage, strengthen, sharpen, and help meet the needs of others. Though authentic community requires intentionality, humility, patience, forgiveness, and perseverance, it is one of the ways God shapes us to look more like Jesus and teaches us to carry one another’s burdens. We pray that as we move forward together, may our love for God be expressed through our love for people, creating a community that reflects His heart, His nature, and His presence.

Discipleship is about cultivating a living relationship with Jesus—loving Him, serving Him, and learning to talk and listen to Him through Scripture, prayer, worship, and His presence. In this message, Dann Farrelly shares that as we grow, we become people shaped by God’s goodness, grace, Word, presence, honor, generosity, and the joyful identity we have in Christ. Our core values call us to expect God to speak and move supernaturally, advance His kingdom, live with freedom and responsibility, strengthen healthy families, and carry hope for a glorious Church. Ultimately, we are culture creators, partnering with God to become a people whose lives reveal His goodness and draw others into His presence. Our prayer is that as you listen, you encounter the heart of God in impacting the world around us through discipleship.

In seasons of silence, disappointment, and uncertainty, God is still speaking, remembering His people, and preparing the way for something greater. Like Hannah and Zechariah, we are invited to bring our deepest pain, questions, and longings into His presence, trusting that the very places of barrenness can become the birthplace of God’s purposes. In this message, Hayley Braun reminds us that the Lord is calling us to have our lenses cleansed, to exchange disappointment for Heaven’s hope, and to identify both the Word He has spoken over our lives and the work He is inviting us to do. As we abide in Him, sow the seeds of faith, and courageously partner with what He has spoken, we can declare with confidence: “I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.” We pray that the power and revelation of God is released over you as you listen to this week's message.

Haggai 2 reminds us that our greatest days in Jesus are not behind us—they are ahead of us. In this sermon, Richard Gordon teaches on how even in seasons of shaking or uncertainty God calls us to be strong, work, and remember that His Spirit remains with us. We are invited to lift our eyes beyond what we see in the natural and believe that what looks small can carry the weight of a kingdom reality. The promise is not simply a bigger house, but a greater glory—a greater measure of His manifest presence, peace, and power. Like John on Patmos, we can never arrive at the end of discovering Jesus; there is always more of Him to encounter. Our heart is that as you listen to this sermon, you experience the reality of the glory of God and are filled with His abundant goodness. , , , , , , , ,, ,, ,

In this final message of the series on Bethel’s unique distinctions, Kris Vallotton reminds us that Bethel's unique assignment is to build a healthy prophetic culture where every believer is encouraged to pursue the voice of God—to strengthen, encourage, and bring hope to others. He teaches that true prophetic ministry is not defined by dramatic words but by lives marked by humility, obedience, and intimacy with Jesus, where His grace empowers both the message and the messenger. As we allow the Lord to prune our hearts and walk in authentic community, we grow in our ability to hear His voice, partner with His purposes, and recognize that our own journey is revealing the story of His redemptive work in and through us. We pray that as you listen to this sermon that the Lord would reveal His nature and goodness to you right where you’re at.

We are called to cultivate the oil of intimacy that is fresh and current—we cannot live off of borrowed oil. In this sermon, Havilah Cunnington shares how at times in our walk with God, it’s possible to allow the hunger and faith of others to make us believe that we are sustained in our connection with God. But as with the 10 virgins found in Matthew 25, there’s oil, our connection and intimacy with God, that can only be acquired personally from establishing our own history with God. The reservoir of oil that we are called to carry comes from our history in experiencing the Lord come through in dark nights of the soul, and seeing Him intervene in moments that seemed impossible. This reservoir of oil is established in the reality of who He is and it cannot be borrowed, but requires hard work and intentionality from us. There is a sacrifice but preparation is required of us to be ready in carrying oil. We pray that as you listen in to this week's message, God would speak to your heart and highlight areas where He is inviting you to partner with Him in stewarding fresh oil in your life.

As one piece of the Body of Christ, Bethel Church has specific apostolic and prophetic distinctions that we believe the Lord has called us to carry. In this sermon, Kris Vallotton teaches on the prophetic culture that Bethel cultivates to draw out the divine destiny that God has placed in His people. Because Jesus came to fulfill an old covenant and usher in a new covenant, we now are able to live under a new covenant of prophetic ministry. This prophetic ministry empowers, encourages, and gives people vision to something greater than themselves. Just as Saul was changed into another man and prophesied when he was among the prophets, we are reminded of the significance of community and those we surround ourselves with. When he was in the community he was supposed to be with, he was changed into the man he was supposed to be. The gift of prophecy calls out things in people that are dormant in them and causes a germination of the calling that God has placed inside of them. We pray that as you listen to this message that the Lord would speak to you and release revelation and grace to walk in all that He has called you to. , , , , xx, , , ,t, ,

As Bethel Church there are unique distinctions that God has called us to, but we are simply a small part of the global Body of Christ that consists of many beautiful and different expressions. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares on Bethel’s end-time view and the significance of what we believe about the end times determines how we live in the middle. Instead of relegating all things good in Scripture that’s meant for the last days for a later time, what would happen if we believed that it could be possible today? We are a house that is called to have hope for the future—hope for the broken, hope for the mentally ill, hope for the nations. We bless you as you listen to this message and pray that you are filled with supernatural hope and receive greater revelation of your identity and calling to release Heaven on earth everywhere you go.
