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.
