The Culture We Carry, Part Six
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.

Carrying the Fresh Oil of Intimacy
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.

The Culture We Carry, Part Five
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, ,

The Culture We Carry, Part Four
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.

Hear, Turn, and See
There’s an invitation from Heaven to hear the voice of God, turn towards Him, and see Jesus again. There is more of Him to be found. In this message, Richard Gordon takes us on a journey through Scripture, highlighting biblical stories in which a person heard God, turned towards Him, and saw and experienced Him in a profound way. This timely message is for all believers. Whether you consider yourself a seasoned believer who's followed Jesus for decades, a new believer, or anywhere in between, there will always be more of Jesus to discover. We believe God’s love is steadfast in pursuit of His people, and when we respond, we encounter the more. We bless you as you listen!

The Culture We Carry, Part Three
As the global Body of Christ, the Lord has given different churches various functions that are unique to them. Bethel Church is simply one part of the global Church but it's important to realize that God has given us specific distinctions that we are called to. As this sermon is a continuation from the Kris Vallotton's previous messages in this series, he continues to expand upon the unique assignments we have as a house. As we believe that we are a royal priesthood, the posture in leading the congregation is to train them to release the kingdom everywhere they go. Because we believe that you become a priest in ministry as soon as you receive Christ, there is now no difference between what is sacred and secular in your life, everything becomes an expression of worship and ministry to the Lord. As our church is an apostolic and prophetic house, training and equipping the saints with deployment in mind is our emphasis. This looks like focusing on the five-fold ministry so that the body looks more like Christ by equipping the saints with discernment so that we are no longer deceived and sent out to reproduce the kingdom of God everywhere we go. We pray that as you listen to this sermon, you receive supernatural boldness and empowerment to equip and love the Body of Christ and to disciple nations until the whole earth looks like Heaven.

Fatherhood: The Response of a Father
Dads hold a beautiful and powerful responsibility to help steward the lens in which we view Father God. In this message, Gabe Valenzuela teaches on the responses of a good father towards their children. Good fathers who reflect the heart of God communicate value to their children, demonstrate what love looks like, are providers who bring security to their families, bring supernatural encouragement, discipline and instruct children well, and instill hope into their families. Fatherhood is a gift from the Lord, and when stewarded well, brings safety and the revelation of a good Father to the world around us. As you listen to this message, we pray that you encounter the heart of God and receive divine keys in navigating the gift of fatherhood! , , , , , , , ,

God’s Restoration and Men’s Responsibility
Restoration is God’s plan—stewardship is men’s responsibility. What God intends to do in the Body of Christ requires a distinct commitment from the men. In this message, Jason Vallotton shares about a wave of restoration coming to the Church, highlighting the unique role bestowed upon the sons of God. Restoration was God’s plan from the beginning. His heart is for the health of humanity and a thriving Church, and He’s inviting man into a lifestyle of faith that speaks His plans into existence. We believe this message is timely, and we are ready to say “yes” to bringing restoration to the world around us!

Discerning the Seasons
There’s an invitation from the Lord to step into a greater understanding of the season we are in. It’s from this place that we can more clearly hear and yield to His voice. In this message, Hayley Braun shares a timely word unpacking the importance of discerning the times well while following the voice of God. The Lord is calling us, as a Body, to understand the timing we are in. On the journey of our faith, there will be seasons that carry unique assignments. The way we approach and navigate them—individually—often looks different. How do we know when God is inviting us into something new? What does it look and sound like when our spirit discerns fresh direction? The voice of God calls for a response, and as a people after His heart, we want nothing more than to respond well. This is a moment to come together, realign with the season we are in, and say “yes” to both what He’s doing and to what He’s invited us into. We bless you as you listen!

The Culture We Carry
The culture we carry at Bethel is distinct—shaped by what we believe God has called our church family to steward. Just as every part of the Body of Christ carries unique expressions of His heart, each church community is designed to fulfill a specific kingdom assignment. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares some of the core values, convictions, and biblical foundations that shape the heart of Bethel Church. Every Jesus-centered community develops culture from the call God has entrusted to them—formed by His presence, refined through obedience, and expressed in the way they serve the people around them. At Bethel, we are passionate about hosting the presence of God, seeing lives transformed, and empowering believers to demonstrate the reality of Heaven on earth. We believe “on earth as it is in Heaven” is more than a prayer—it is an invitation into a lifestyle of faith, obedience, and partnership with God. Join us as Kris unpacks the history, values, and vision that continue to shape the culture we carry and the call we are committed to stewarding together.

Missions Sunday
On this special Missions Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday by honoring the work of the Holy Spirit and His leadership in our lives and across the earth. We are deeply grateful for the sacrifice, faith, and obedience of missionaries who faithfully carry the Gospel to the nations. In this message, Gabe Valenzuela joins John and Cindy Taylor to share stories, vision, and updates from Bethel Missions, highlighting the powerful ways God is moving around the world. As we celebrate what God is doing through missions at Bethel, we know that over 3 billion people have yet to hear the Gospel or even the name of Jesus. Every person is created with intention, purpose, and the unconditional love of God. As a church family, we are continuing to say “yes” to the Great Commission, partnering with what God is doing among the nations through prayer, generosity, and obedience. As you watch, ask the Holy Spirit how He may be inviting you to participate in His mission. We pray you are encouraged by God’s goodness, stirred with fresh compassion, and empowered to say “yes” to what He is doing in the earth.

Praying Like a Son or Daughter
Are you praying like a son or daughter? God isn’t a caretaker of an orphanage; He is a father, and we are His children. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches from Matthew 6, highlighting the paternal nature of our heavenly Father and inviting the Body of Christ into a greater understanding of who they are in Him. The discovery of who God is changes how we pray, and the discovery of who we are in Him, changes our authority. Prayer is a foundational practice designed to build healthy believers and to release the culture of Heaven on earth. What does it sound like when we pray from a deep knowing of who God is? How does what we believe about ourselves impact our prayer life? This sermon marks the start of Bill’s long-awaited sabbatical. As he shares, we pray that you are reminded of the reality of who God is, who He created you to be, and what’s possible when you live from that place.

The Power of Our Words
As image-bearers of a God who creates with His Words, it’s important that we understand the power of ours. In the message, Havilah Cunnington teaches on the power and influence our spoken words carry. Our words create worlds that we are responsible for managing. What we say reveals much about what we believe, the contents of our hearts, what we’ve made an agreement with, and more. What kind of world are you creating with your language? How can you begin to partner with Heaven, releasing the culture of its kingdom into the world around you? This message is foundational for our faith and a moment to realign our faith with increased intention behind what we allow ourselves to speak. We bless you as you listen!

Community Heals
Community heals. God delights in it so deeply that He chooses to reveal Himself in the midst of it. In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks the power of fellowship within the people and communities around us. We are designed for connection—first with God, and then with one another. Many of the plans and purposes of God for our lives are discovered, strengthened, and fulfilled in the context of relationship. In that place, there is an invitation to love well. We know that we are called to love our neighbor—not just in word, but in the same way we have been loved by God. When believers show up for one another with intentionality and care, we begin to reflect the heart of Christ and experience His presence through community. As you listen, ask the Lord how you can more intentionally steward the relationships He has given you. Our prayer is that you would be encouraged to love deeply, invest faithfully, and continue building a life grounded in connection with Him and others.

Aligning With Divine Purpose, Part Three
Aligning with the divine purpose over our lives is essential to bringing the kingdom of Heaven to earth; and we’ve been commissioned to do it. In this message, Bill Johnson continues his series on aligning with divine purpose. The plans and purposes God assigned us to are more than good plans. Divine purpose is our duty as believers. How do we, as carriers of Christ, go about bringing the kingdom of God to the places we’ve been planted in? What happens when believers live powerful and intentional, Christ-like lives? The power of Jesus dwelling within every Christian is designed to manifest through their lives. There’s an invitation to say "yes" again to being the hands and feet of Jesus to the world around us. As you join us for part three of this series, our prayer is that you’d be inspired and commissioned to answer that call again!

The Ministry of Reconciliation
In part, our identity in Christ is embracing the fact that we were born for reconciliation, where we pursue kingdom justice as the ultimate result. In this message, Kris Vallotton unpacks what justice looks like in the kingdom of God and the essential role of forgiveness and reconciliation in that process. Jesus is the author of true justice, and as His image-bearers, we are designed to reflect it. What does it look like on this side of eternity? How are believers to navigate the moments leading up to justice? As we rediscover the power of forgiveness and the ministry of reconciliation entrusted to us, we pray you are equipped and encouraged to walk out your faith with confidence in the finished work of the Cross, reflecting the heart and nature of Christ in every area of your life. , , , , , Kingdom Justice, ,

What Is Your Well-Worn Path?
What is your well-worn path? It’s time to get back to our original design. In this message, Hayley Braun teaches from the book of Ephesians, providing practical steps for living in our divine design. When we have a value for something, we protect it. How do you know you are valuing your life in Christ? What does submission to the Lord look like in the lives of His people? This timely word is an encouragement for the Body of Christ and a moment to realign our hearts with His. Wherever you are tuning in, we pray it blesses you!

Resurrection, the Person
Living aware of God—His presence, voice, and Spirit—is a critical component of the Christian life. It is one of the many byproducts of His life, death, and resurrection. In this Easter Sunday message, Bill Johnson teaches on the lifestyle believers get to enter into as a result of the finished work of the Cross. The Christian life is a life of resurrection. It’s about surrender, yielding, and wholeheartedly pursuing Jesus so that the fruit of our lives mirrors the resurrection of Christ. As we celebrate Jesus, our prayer is that you are encouraged to live in the reality of His resurrection, with increased awareness of His presence and a renewed passion for the gift of salvation you have been given!

Aligning With Divine Purpose, Part Two
When the prophet Isaiah declared, “Arise and shine,” it was more than simply an encouragement—it was a commission. The Light of the world longs to shine through His people. In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks Isaiah 60:1-5, inviting the Church to step into the promises of God now. While some promises unfold over time, many are meant to be lived in and expressed today. Why do we believe at times that certain promises aren’t for us? And what might the world look like if the Church walked in greater boldness and faith in what God has spoken? Join us as we respond to this invitation—to arise, to shine, and to step into a deeper level of faith, trusting God to fulfill His Word in and through our lives.

We Are Better Together
We are better together. Jesus calls us to love one another in the midst of our brokenness, and as we do, we create space for His power to be revealed among us. In this message, Bill Johnson shares on the power of God at work through His people. All authority belongs to Him, and as we pursue His presence, walk in obedience, and live from His love, His power flows through our lives. While the enemy has no authority, where might we unknowingly be partnering with him? How do we grow in trust with God and become a people He can move through? As a church family, our desire is to be a community trusted by God—one that faithfully represents His love, power, and authority in the earth. We pray that wherever you’re listening from, you would be strengthened in your faith, challenged to love deeply, and encouraged to walk in wholehearted obedience.
