Bethel of Arnold

Storms are unavoidable, but we don't have to face them alone. Drawing from Psalm 57:1, Rev. Mike Trammell reminds us that even in the middle of calamity, we can find refuge, confidence, and peace under the shadow of God's wings. Sometimes the way through the storm begins by learning to embrace it with faith.

The enemy is real, the battle is real, and sometimes we can find ourselves closer to falling than we realize. But Scripture reminds us that God is faithful even when our feet are slipping. This message looks at the danger of “almost” and the power of getting back into God's presence, where perspective changes and we remember what really matters.

Sometimes the problem isn't that we don't know what God wants—it's that we know, but we don't want to do it. From Adam and Eve to Saul, Jonah, and the disciples, Scripture reminds us that obedience means more than hearing God's Word. It means taking heed and following through.What has God already told you to do?

There are things we don't know: why, when, or how. But there are things we do know. God is faithful. He is with us. And He will never leave us. Sometimes, like the man in John 9, all we need to say is, “One thing I know…”

What can God do with what's already in your hand? From Moses' staff to David's sling, Jericho's trumpet, Balaam's donkey, and a boy's lunch, Scripture shows us that God specializes in using ordinary things to accomplish extraordinary purposes. The miracle isn't in the tool—it's in the hands of the One using it.

Altars in the WildernessIn this episode, we explore the story of Moses and discover that the wilderness is not meant to be our permanent home. Through seasons of struggle, uncertainty, and waiting, God uses the wilderness to teach us how to hear His voice, trust His provision, and prepare us for what comes next.Drawing from Exodus 17 and the altar Moses built after the battle with Amalek, we are reminded that while the wilderness may be a personal journey, the altars we build in it become testimonies for future generations. If you're feeling weary, discouraged, or stuck in a difficult season, this message will encourage you with a simple truth: you're coming out of this, and God is still working in the middle of your wilderness.

Things Jesus Never SaidThere are plenty of things people attribute to Jesus that He never actually said. In this message, we look at several popular ideas—including “follow your heart,” “God helps those who help themselves,” and “if you have enough faith, you'll never have problems”—and compare them with what Jesus actually taught.More importantly, we discover what Jesus did promise: not a trouble-free life, but His presence through every circumstance. He knows us completely, loves us anyway, and promises, “I am with you always.”

Preach the WordWhat do you do when life gets difficult, the situation looks impossible, and you're struggling to see how God's promises could possibly come to pass? The answer is simple: Preach the Word.Drawing from Ezekiel's valley of dry bones and Paul's charge to Timothy, this message reminds us that our responsibility isn't to produce the outcome—it's to proclaim what God has spoken. Even when we don't feel it, see it, or understand it, we can declare the goodness, faithfulness, and power of God.When it's convenient and when it's not. In season and out of season. Preach the Word.

Heads or Tails?God has not called us to live as the tail, reacting to everything around us. He has called us to be the head—to live with confidence, purpose, influence, and excellence. But Deuteronomy 28:13 reminds us that this position comes with a choice: obedience.In this message, we're challenged to choose “heads” by trusting God, seeing ourselves the way He sees us, refusing to settle, and choosing obedience in how we live and respond.It's a choice. Heads or tails?

What are you holding on to? In a world full of distractions, compromise, and uncertainty, God calls His people to cling to Him with unwavering conviction.

If He said it, yes, He will.

The same God who moved in the past is ready to move again.

In this episode, My Source of Strength, we explore the powerful difference between happiness and true, lasting joy. While happiness depends on changing circumstances, joy is rooted in something deeper—our relationship with God.

In this episode, I Am Responsible challenges believers to recognize that faith, truth, and revival are never passed down automatically to the next generation. Drawing from Judges 2 and the sobering reality of a generation that “knew not the Lord,” this message calls the church to intentionally invest in people, disciple families, and fight for what matters most. With heartfelt stories, biblical conviction, and a burden for the future, this sermon reminds us that the next generation's spiritual future is not someone else's responsibility—it's ours.
