Created for Connection
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 That Shapes Culture
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.

Greater Glory Ahead
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. , , , , , , , ,, ,, ,

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.

694
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!

693
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!

691
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!
-
688
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!

687
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!
-
686
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.
-
685
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.
-
684
Maturing In Faith
Maturing in our faith is not meant to happen in isolation—it’s a byproduct of doing life within the Body of Christ. Belonging to the family of God is an invitation to grow, to be stretched, and ultimately to look more like Jesus. In this message, Banning Liebscher invites us into a deeper and more holistic understanding of God’s design for His Church. Discipleship and spiritual maturity go hand in hand, and the community of believers plays a vital role in shaping who we become. What perspectives might be hindering our growth where God has planted us? How might the cultures we cultivate in our churches either support or stifle the process of maturing in Christ? This message challenges and encourages us to partner with God’s heart for the Body—to champion one another, pursue genuine discipleship, and grow into the fullness of who we are called to be in Christ, together.
-
683
Love Looks Like Action
We are called to love—and love looks like action. As the Church, as those who represent Jesus to the world around us, love is what we are meant to be known for. In this message, Gabe Valenzuela unpacks what it truly means to love the way God has called us to love. What does loving our neighbor look like in a practical, everyday sense? How does Scripture define and demonstrate the kind of love we are invited to embody? This teaching is both an encouragement and a charge—an invitation to move beyond sentiment and into lived expression. As followers of Christ, we are called not only to carry the love of God within us, but to intentionally release it into our homes, workplaces, and communities. Our prayer is that this message deepens your understanding of biblical love and empowers you to reflect Jesus more fully in the way you live.

682
The Love and Leadership of God
As sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd, we are invited to know and recognize the voice of the Lord—our good Shepherd. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into a deeper understanding of God’s heart and role of a shepherd by exploring the nature and design of sheep. In John 10:11 and 14, God boldly speaks to both His role as a Shepherd and the reach of His love towards His sheep. What can we learn about God’s leadership and our own design from the relationship between sheep and their shepherd? How might we grow in living from a place of trust and dependency on Him? Together, let’s discover the simplicity of following Jesus and leaning not on our own understanding—but on the love and leadership of our good Shepherd.

Search Me, Oh Lord
The position of our heart is this, "Search me, oh Lord." We’re leaning into the invitation before us. In this message, Richard Gordon guides us through biblical patterns for navigating a river, highlighting two practices we can adopt in this season. What do these rivers represent for us in this moment? How can we begin to apply these biblical patterns in our individual faith walks? We bless you as you watch along.

God of the Storm
In this season, we are reminded that God is the God of the storm. He is present in everything. In this message, Havilah Cunnington teaches about the reality of the presence of God throughout every season—specifically, the storm season. What truths are critical to hold on to during a storm? How do we stay steady right in the middle of it? What is the next move once the storm has set in? If you’re navigating a storm right now, you are not alone. Join us as we all learn how to better navigate it while pursuing Jesus with continued passion.

An Update on Our Journey
Thank you for joining us as we share an update on our journey through walking out repentance. This has been such a tender time as a local and broader community, and we don’t want to rush past these moments. In this message, Dann Farrelly shares an update about where we are—steps we’ve taken, what’s in the works, and more. Immediately following this moment, Steve Moore leads us in a time of corporate Communion. Grab your Bibles and join us as we gather and honor Jesus together as a church family.

678
We Must Fan the Flame
God has a plan to transform the world, and He wants to do it through His people—we must fan the flame of our hearts. In this message, Bill Johnson shares a mandate God has placed on his heart for the state of California and the world. Throughout history, the power of the Gospel has been revealed through movements that carried lasting, generational impact. As we pursue God and partner with Him to bring the Gospel to the nations, we are called to fan the flame of our hearts in unity and obedience. What is the invitation for believers today, and what’s at stake if we fail to steward what God is asking of us? Take this moment to listen for what God is speaking to you personally and to pray into what He is doing in this season. , , , , , , ,

677
Core Values for Kingdom Mentality
There are key core values meant for all who follow Jesus that are designed for unlocking kingdom mentality. God is inviting His people to take inventory with the Holy Spirit, and confirm that what we value is what we believe at our core. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares key core values necessary for all believers to live from the reality of the kingdom of God. How does what we’ve lived through shape what we believe, and how do those belief systems influence the way we walk out our faith? This message is a moment to pause, reflect, and strengthen your connection with the Lord. We bless you as you listen!
-
676
The Provocation of God’s Love
We need an encounter with the provocation of God’s love. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into intentionality and surrender as we seek the heart of God together. As we enter the new year, we’re fasting to set things aside and reconnect with the person of Jesus. This message is a moment for honesty, reflection, and fresh surrender to the Lord. We believe the Holy Spirit is speaking, and as He does, we encourage you to respond. We bless your time with the Lord as you listen!
-
675
Glory to Glory
God takes us from glory to glory, but what does that actually mean, and how does it unfold in real life? In this message, Richard Gordon invites us into the often overlooked space between the former glory and the greater glory God is leading us toward. While many of us recognize the glory of God in seasons of favor, open doors, and promotion, but what about the seasons of transition—when God is refining, stretching, and repositioning us? What does faith look like when the path forward isn’t clear, and how do we remain anchored when we’re living in the “to” of what God has promised? This message is rich with wisdom, revelation, and encouragement for anyone navigating a season full of unknowns. We pray you’re refreshed, strengthened, and reminded of God’s deep love for you as you journey from glory to glory.

674
Living for Christ in Every Season
What does living for Christ in every season look like? As believers, we’re called to live fully surrendered to Jesus—not just in moments of inspiration, but through every season of life. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us into a deeper understanding of consistency, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. Drawing from the life of King Hezekiah, we see how God shapes leaders, disciplines those He loves, and builds internal strength so that His blessings don’t become too great for us to carry. As favor increases, so does responsibility—and true promotion is always meant to bless the people around us.This sermon speaks to the refining mercy of God, the call to remain tender and childlike, and the importance of maintaining our first love through seasons of pruning, testing, and growth. It’s a reminder that faith isn’t sustained by inspiration alone, but by lordship—by choosing obedience, worship, and trust even when emotions fade. Our prayer is that you say, "yes," to the invitation to live aware of what you’re truly living for as you devote your life to Jesus.
-
673
It's Time to Think Like Royalty
It’s time for the Church to live like the royalty we’ve been called to be—royalty isn’t about money, it’s about revelation. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares a compelling message about what it means to live with legacy in mind—forward in the kingdom of God. The breakthroughs, promises, and blessings God has given you and spoken over you are designed to benefit more than just you in the present. We’ve been called to live with eternity in mind, and the fruit of our lives should stretch past our generation, into the next. How do we position our hearts to live from this place? What does this look like in a practical sense? This sermon is an invitation to revelation that can transform the way we live, lead, and portray the love of God. Join us as we say, “yes,” to living like royalty!
-
672
How Important Is Prayer?
When we pursue breakthrough as people of faith, we must consider the importance of prayer. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us to return to the place where breakthrough begins. Jesus taught us that captivity is never our normal, and a life without divine intervention, answers, or transformation is far from His will. Prayer positions us to recognize God’s solutions—often while they’re still in seed form—and to partner with what He’s releasing on the earth. We were created to co-labor with God, to carry His heart, and to steward the areas He’s entrusted to us. How are we stewarding that? What are we waiting for God to do that the Cross has already done? Is there a more effective way to pray and partner with God? Join us as we return to the original model of prayer and co-laboring with God!
-
671
God’s Original Plan for Men
We feel an invitation from the Lord to revisit God’s original plan for men. If He had a plan for men, then we, as the Body of Christ, should have one too. In this message, Jason Vallotton walks us through the spiritual stages all men are designed to grow through. From the beginning, when man was formed and filled, to God’s finishing process—where God calls, tests, equips, and commissions man—the intentionality of God’s plan for men is evident. This message is for the Body of Christ and specifically speaks to the hearts of the sons of God. He’s inviting us to remember His original design, and we’re expectant as we say “yes” together.
-
670
Yesterday, Today, and Forever
The original assignment given to the disciples by Jesus is to be the standard we live our lives from. We feel that God is inviting us to remember the fundamentals of the Great Commission. In this message, Bill Johnson calls us back to the original assignment Jesus entrusted to His disciples—a commission meant to be carried through every generation, not diluted by time or compromised by culture. Authority was never lost in God’s kingdom, and it’s our duty to align our awareness and lives with that truth. How does living from this truth impact the level of authority we walk in? How is righteousness and justice expressed from that place? What do we begin to value and what motivates us when we’re aligned with the reality of God’s authority? This sermon invites us into a renewed vision of collaborative partnership with God, where prayer moves mountains, lies lose their power, and the Holy Spirit is no longer a background presence but the primary Person of our lives. We bless you as you listen along with us!

669
The Divine Design of the Angelic
Have you ever wondered about the divine design of the angelic? Everything God creates carries purpose and intention—angels are no different. In this message, Bill Johnson shares about instances where God's plans, purposes, and ways involve the angelic realm. While our worship and devotion belong to Jesus alone, Scripture reveals that angels play a vital role in the unfolding of His kingdom on earth. What purposes do angels serve in God’s design? How do we, as followers of Jesus, partner with Heaven’s strategies while keeping our hearts anchored in Him? Join us as we uncover mysteries of the spirit realm and learn how to align with God’s divine order, partnering with His presence to see Heaven released on earth.
-
668
Promised Land Principles
The principles of the Promised Land invite us into more—because we were born for more than we're experiencing. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches on the design of the Promised Land. The Promised Land is a reality God designed for His people. What's the purpose of this reality? How are we to approach it? What's our responsibility and role? As you listen, we pray that you receive insight, wisdom, and practical application for the Promised Land that God has designed for you.
-
667
Led Not Fed
When we’re led by the presence of God, we’re not always given all the details. His leadership often looks less like a map and more like a compass, pointing us toward Him. In this message, Havilah Cunnington teaches on what it means to trust the direction of God’s voice. So often, when God speaks, He invites us into mystery. To discover more, we’re called to lean in close. His Spirit and His presence become our compass, guiding us as we go and revealing the way forward. What distinguishes this divine compass amid all the noise? What does it look like, feel like, and sound like to be led by Him? And how can we be sure we’re following His leading? Join us as Havilah unpacks what trust truly is. We pray that as you listen, your heart is stirred to lean in again and follow the still, small voice of God.
-
666
Advancing in Adversity
Advancing in adversity is possible when our focus remains on God and His kingdom. We all encounter difficulty at some point in life—but even in those moments, God is near and working for our good. In this message, Bill Johnson shares revelation and wisdom for navigating seasons of adversity. Be encouraged by the unchanging nature of God and be reminded that every challenge holds the potential for deeper intimacy with Him. Let this message strengthen your faith and equip you to move forward with renewed hope. With God, it’s not only possible to stand in adversity—we are empowered to advance through it.
-
665
Created for a Purpose
You were created for a purpose. When God designed you, He did so with divine plans and purposes for your life, often seemingly bigger than what you could ever imagine for yourself. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares about God's divine plans for every believer. What can anchor you to God’s plans in the midst of difficulty? How do we stay connected to vision? We pray that as you listen, you will receive encouragement and be realigned with God's plans and purposes for your life.
-
664
The Fear of the Lord
Unlike human fear or demonic fear, we are designed to walk in the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is foundational to experiencing the fullness of God’s power in our lives. Join us as Hayley Braun shares revelation, wisdom, and insight on the reverence we’re meant to cultivate and possess. Receive a fresh understanding of the fear of the Lord and discover the simplicity of this foundational aspect of our faith. Our prayer is that you are encouraged in your journey with the Lord and that you tangibly feel a greater measure of His presence that desires to be closer to you than ever before. We bless you!

Bethel—Pastoring Your People as a Community
In the second week of our Vision Sundays series, we’re unpacking what pastoring your people looks like for Bethel, as a community. How do you pastor a city? What role does each member play in the story God has invited us into? This message, shared by Gabe Valenzuela, is a practical guide for every believer who wants to be activated in their community, as designed by God. We are called to love our neighbor, to feed the hungry, and to represent Jesus to the lost. There are people in every community carrying burdens, deep pain, and a longing for something you’re carrying—a relationship with the person of Jesus. We pray that you’re encouraged as you listen and learn about what pastoring people looks like in our house and how you can strengthen or start pastoring, with intention, your own communities

Bethel— A Prophetic Community and a House of Encounters
As a church, Bethel’s identity and heavenly mandate is to be a prophetic community that hosts encounters with God. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares on the call of our house as an apostolic and prophetic epicenter where people come and meet with God. Just as Jacob wrestled with the angel and was given a new name—Israel—marking a shift in his identity and destiny, at Bethel Church we exist to be a house of encounters where lives are transformed, sons and daughters are awakened, and divine destinies are fulfilled as people step into the fullness of who God created them to be. We pray that God meets you and speaks to you right where you are as you watch this sermon, bless you!
-

We Are Builders
Bethel Church, we are builders, and God designed us to worship. As His people, we will do what He’s invited us to do. In this sermon, Bill Johnson shares a special message that invites us to a deeper awareness of our divine purpose and design. If you pursue it, you’ll discover that God has a divine identity for every person and even organizations devoted to representing His kingdom.

660
A Wealth Mentality: Eschatology Matters
An integral part of having a wealth mentality is understanding that your eschatology—what you believe about the end—matters. In this sermon, Kris Vallotton shares a timely message on eschatology, proposing a fresh perspective that has the potential to impact how modern-day believers practice their faith. How does the Bible define the latter days? What critical components are necessary for Jesus’ return, and how do we, as followers of Jesus, walk out our faith with hope in this day and age? Discover the answer to these questions and more as you listen along with us. We pray that as you listen, the presence of God fills you with tangible hope and reignites your faith for all that God has in store.
-
659
A Generous Mindset
If we are to be more like Jesus, we need to cultivate a generous mindset. What does it mean to have a generous mindset? How does it impact our decision-making, how we show up, and our faith? In this sermon, Bill Johnson shares a fundamental message, teaching on the generous mindset. Generosity reaches far past our finances; it’s a heart posture. Living from this perspective and seeing through the lens of generosity, impacts everything that we think, say, and do. What’s possible when God sees our lives and sees someone He can trust? We pray that as you listen along, your heart is stirred for the abundance found in the mindset God has made available for you.

658
"The Dead Can't Sin"
When we accepted Jesus, we were made a new creation, joining Him in His death and resurrection and establishing the reality that the dead can't sin. How are we now to perceive the world and navigate our faith journey with His perspective? Join us for a revelatory message shared by Bill Johnson. This sermon begins by discovering the difference between the milk and the meat of the Word and the intent of the two, and culminating in defining our divine identity. Who God says we are is foundational to the Christian faith and is fundamental to how we show up in the world. As you listen along, we encourage you to position your heart to receive and hear from the Holy Spirit who points us back to Jesus so that we look more like Him every day of our lives.
-
657
Developing a Wealth Mentality
What if part of the abundance Jesus paid for was developing a wealth mentality? In this powerful message, Kris Vallotton unpacks key principles for renewing your mind in the area of wealth. A true wealth mentality isn’t just about money. It’s a way of thinking that impacts relationships, purpose, legacy, spiritual authority, and every area of life. Discover how the Bible defines wealth and how the environment around you can shape, or limit, the beliefs within you. Our prayer is that as you listen, you’ll be set free from mental and spiritual barriers as you step into the fullness of the freedom you were created for.

The Peaceful War
What if the spiritual war was meant to be peaceful? The kingdom of God is often called an upside-down kingdom—where Heaven’s culture runs counter to the ways of the world. So how do we begin to align our thoughts, decisions, and daily lives with the values of God’s kingdom? In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks key principles for partnering with Heaven and embracing the culture of the kingdom. Learn how to stay anchored in God’s character and nature regardless of your circumstances and gain insight into how to show up with faith no matter what you're feeling. Be reminded of the authority you have in Jesus and the powerful implications of your praise. Step into the freedom and authority of living fully aligned with the culture of the kingdom.

Love Leads to Worship
Our love for God is what leads us to our truest expression of worship. Yet sometimes, even the most sacred topics can become familiar. Without meaning to, that familiarity can grow into complacency, leaving our hearts stagnant. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches on worship—not limited to the songs we sing, though powerful expressions, but down to the very heart of it all. What kind of worship does God truly desire? What moves His heart? What does He respond to? Receive fresh revelation and timeless wisdom rooted in Scripture and shaped through decades of stewarding a culture of worship that has impacted our house and countless lives around the world.

Bearing the Image of God
Bearing the image of God looks like something. If you’ve accepted Jesus as Lord, you haven’t just been mended, you’ve been made new—recreated to reveal God’s nature to the world. But how do we know we’re truly fulfilling our call to represent Him?In this thought-provoking message, Bill Johnson invites us to examine our lives through the lens of our responsibility as image-bearers. Being made in His image is so much more than an identity statement. It’s a call to reflect His righteousness and goodness in how we live, love, relate, and lead. What happens when our choices fall outside His lordship? What becomes possible when we fully surrender our opinions, preferences, and actions to Him? This message will stir you to release what holds you back and embrace what’s needed to represent the Father’s heart well. Watch and be encouraged to live as a true image-bearer, revealing His nature to the world around you.

The Responsibility of Sons and Daughters
What does it truly mean to live in the responsibility of being sons and daughters of God? In this message, Gabe Valenzuela invites us to move beyond simply receiving our identity to walking it out with maturity, humility, and purpose. Living as sons and daughters in God’s kingdom isn’t just about inheritance—it’s about responsibility, submission, sacrifice, and choosing to live as Jesus did. This sermon calls us higher, not to earn God’s love, but to respond to it with surrendered lives that reflect His nature. If you’ve said yes to sonship, you’ve also said yes to the weight of the character that comes with it. This is an invitation to grow, live, and lead as true heirs of the Kingdom.
