Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

What do lawsuits and sexuality have to do with living a life that reflects the gospel? This week, Pastor Becky unpacks why Paul connects these two topics in 1 Corinthians, reminding us that while we have the right to do many things, not everything is beneficial. As followers of Christ, we belong to Him and are called to submit every area of our lives to His truth.

This week, Pastor Banning reminded us that mature love means laying down our rights for the sake of others. The gospel calls us to a life of sacrifice, knowing that our choices impact those around us. Like an athlete training for victory, we are called to live with discipline as we pursue an eternal crown rather than temporary rewards.

What does it mean to act like men? Pastor Banning pulls from 1 Corinthians 16 to lay out a picture of biblical manhood that goes beyond fatherhood. Men who are awake, standing firm, and carrying courage into every room they walk into. Whether you’re a father, a spiritual father, or growing into it, this message is for you.

Pastor Banning reminds us that God desires an acceptable offering. One that is our first and our best, not an afterthought. True worship requires sacrifice, often costing us our comfort, time, or resources. It is sacrificial and often inconvenient by nature, but God is worthy of our highest priority and wholehearted surrender.

Pastor Becky Johnson preaches from 1 Corinthians 5. Paul wasn’t primarily concerned with the sin. He was concerned with the silence. What does it look like when a church mistakes tolerance for grace, and what does real love, correction, and accountability look like in a family that belongs to each other?

Pastor Banning teaches that God is inviting us into partnership with His heart, believing for salvations not only among those we know but also those we don’t. As we allow our hearts to be moved by what moves Him, we step into true compassion, a deep, gut-wrenching response that leads us to prayer and action. Every move of God in history has come through people who carried what was on His heart, an...

This week, Pastor Michael Brodeur shares on the power of unity and how God calls us to celebrate our differences while walking together in oneness. Even with individual giftings, we can do harm when we push our own agenda instead of building according to God’s plan.

Lyle Phillips, lead pastor of Legacy Nashville, reminds us that we were created to live in continual encounter with God. As we seek His face above everything else and bring our desires to Him in prayer, we discover that God isn’t distant. He invites us to ask, pursue, and expect to find Him. When we prioritize His presence, every other desire begins to find its proper place.

Pastor Banning shares a powerful message on the true solution to every problem, which is the gospel. When we live from the reality of who Jesus is and what He has done, we experience the abundant life God desires for us. But when we take our eyes off Jesus and place them elsewhere, we quickly find ourselves in trouble.

Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks Paul’s letter to the Corinthians and its powerful message for today’s church. In a culture shaping us away from Christ, we’re reminded that holiness isn’t something we earn. It’s something we receive through the grace of Jesus and the finished work of the cross.

Pastor Becky Johnson brings the journey through Romans to a powerful close, echoing Paul’s call to something deeper; true unity comes through sacrificial love for one another, and sacrificial love means to die to self and live in a way that transforms our relationships.

Micah Studer, one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento missionaries, shares a powerful message on the way of Jesus—death that leads to life. As we lay down self-centeredness and embrace a life of surrender, we begin to understand that true fruitfulness comes through self-denying love. To see Jesus rightly is to see Him crucified, and in following Him, we discover what it truly means to find life.

Pastor Banning teaches that true unity in the Church is only possible through love that is marked by humility, forgiveness, and selflessness. As we encounter God’s mercy, our lives become a response of surrender, shaping how we love others and engage in community. When we are rooted in a passionate love for Jesus, we begin to reflect His heart, and unity becomes the natural result.

Pastor Banning shares the power of the resurrection and reminds us that because Jesus is alive, He has the authority to save, heal, deliver, forgive, restore, and redeem. The empty tomb declares that He is who He says He is and will do what He promised. We also hear powerful testimonies from two of our Jesus Culture Sacramento young adults, reminding us that God is always pursuing us and will not...

Pastor Banning walks through Romans 9–11, revealing how the gospel fulfills God’s promises to Israel and extends mercy to all. He reminds us that our views must be shaped by Scripture, not culture, and that our salvation is part of a much bigger story rooted in God’s faithfulness. The gospel humbles us, unifies us, and points us to Jesus, the only one who saves and the fulfillment of every promise...

Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks how we live as new creations, holding the tension of the “now and not yet.” While creation, believers, and even the Spirit groan in a world marked by suffering, we don’t grieve without hope, our future is secure and being made new. In the midst of it all, the Holy Spirit meets us, interceding on our behalf and strengthening us to persevere.

Christine Caine reminds us that the Christian life flows from abiding in Christ. Freedom isn’t just deliverance, it’s stepping in and possessing all that God has promised. As we remain in Him, we grow into maturity and fruitfulness.

Pastor Becky Johnson shares how life in the Spirit sets us free to walk in the new life Jesus has given us. Romans 8 teaches us that we are no longer called to manage sin but to live alive to God through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Christ, we are no longer condemned, and everything God has is now ours.

Pastor Becky teaches out of Romans 6 and reminds us that our old nature was crucified with Christ—who we were before Jesus is not who we are now. As we reckon the old man dead and obey our new Master, we step into the freedom and new life He’s given us.

Pastor Banning continues our journey through Romans, reminding us that we are justified not by works, but by faith. Righteousness, or right standing before God, is credited to us the same way it was to Abraham: through unwavering trust in Him. We are called to live by faith, not by sight, confident that what God promises, He is faithful to fulfill.

Pastor Becky Johnson walks us through Romans 3, revealing how the gospel levels the playing field for all of us. The law exposes our need, but righteousness comes through faith in Jesus alone. His blood is the only path to redemption, justification, and true unity. When we understand that we’ve all been rescued by the same mercy, pride falls away, and the gospel reshapes how we live and relate to...

Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that the gospel is the only true hope for both the world and the Church. As we submit our lives to God and align our hearts with His, we begin to reflect the righteousness and unity that only the gospel can produce. If we’re going to carry this good news to others, we must do it marked by the radical kindness and humility God has shown us.

Pastor Becky Johnson calls us to be deeply planted in the Word of God, reminding us that transformation doesn’t happen with a casual relationship to Scripture. As the Word becomes woven into the fabric of our lives, what begins as duty can grow into discipline and eventually delight. A life with Jesus is inseparable from a life in His Word.

In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Varughese, Founder and Senior Leader of Kingdomcity, unpacks the important role of connection and contribution within the church. He reminds us that revival isn’t just about what God pours out, but whether we’re prepared to sustain it together, challenging us to shift our prayers from asking for more blessings to asking for greater capacity.

In this message, Pastor Becky highlights the importance of pruning as a pathway to a fruitful life. God is portrayed as the “vine dresser,” pruning us not as punishment, but out of kindness so that we may bear more fruit.
