Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

God is preparing His house to host the nations, creating a place where people can encounter His presence and discover the joy of knowing Him. In this sermon, Bill Johnson shares the call of Bethel to be a gate of Heaven, carry His presence into our families, communities, and every sphere of influence. The vision to build is not simply about a building, but about creating space for generations to encounter Jesus, honor those who have gone before us, and steward the legacy of revival. As we surrender to what God is building, we can say “yes” to serving, worshiping, and building together to experience an increase of Heaven on earth. We pray that the Lord meets and ministers to you right where you're at through this message!

God is calling us beyond comfort and caution into a lifestyle of faith, courage, and wholehearted trust in His promises. In this sermon, Bill Johnson reminds us that like Joshua and Caleb, we are invited to focus not on the size of the giants before us, but on the greatness of our God, choosing voices that stir faith and obedience rather than fear and unbelief. As a church family, we are called to prioritize the presence of the Holy Spirit, embrace risk for the sake of the Gospel, and live in authentic community as we pursue all that God has purposed for us. We declare over you that this is a season to say “yes” again—to greater courage, greater faith, and a fresh baptism of fire as we believe for the “greater works” Jesus promised.

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.
