Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

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.
