Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

Hear from Bill Johnson as he teaches on the ways of a king. We are called to be kings and queens—to rule and reign with Christ, in the spheres of influence God has given us.

How much of heaven could inhabit the earth if we lived solely to build a better future? Join us as we receive wisdom and direction for leaving the legacy only a king under the lordship of the King of Kings can.
