Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

The world is in a crisis of conscience, the root being a broken relationship with our Creator. We've chosen knowledge over life, but God offers transformation.

In 1 Samuel 30, David faced immense rejection and loss, from Saul's betrayal to the Philistines' refusal and even his own men's mutiny. Despite this, David found strength in the Lord, showcasing the critical need for believers to learn self-ministry. In this sermon, Pastor Bill Johnson highlights that promotion often follows a season where God teaches us to depend solely on Him. Embracing disappointment and rejection with faith positions us for greater responsibility. It's vital to immerse ourselves in the Word and worship, drawing strength directly from God, preparing us for the promotion and responsibilities He has planned.

Pastor Bill Johnson explores the two most crippling issues in the lives of believers: the inability to deal with disappointment and harboring resentment and unforgiveness. When unchecked, these heart issues lead to destructive behaviors. The path to healing and strength involves actively practicing forgiveness, remembering Jesus' sacrifice, and continually surrendering to God's grace in authentic humility. Through forgiveness, we align with God's will, inviting Him to transform our lives and communities.
