Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

Sean Smith’s powerful testimony is one that is filled with the resurrection power of Jesus.  Sean has been ministering for over 30 years and we were honored to have him with us for Easter Sunday. By reminding us all that Jesus is hope, Sean teaches that it’s not about the appearance of the situation but the expectations of the beholder.  Just like when Mary was looking for Jesus in the empty tomb;...

In seasons of delay, the dreams located deep within our hearts are exposed and our trust in God is developed. In Proverbs 3:5-6 we learn what God truly desires from us is trust. This Sunday, our new series with Banning Liebscher tackles the issue of trust and how, if processed correctly, it can increase during seasons of delay.  There are countless examples of delay in the Bible, and if we can beg...

This week we had the honor of hosting our dear friend from the Stirring Church, Nathan Edwardson. In his message, Nathan weaves us through Daniel 3, reminding us that God is redeeming culture through his people when our holiness is paired with excellence. When we lead lives of holiness, the power of Jesus is released in culture and we move beyond what we can do on our own. Listen as Nathan encoura...

This week, Banning Liebscher redefines what success looks like for us, as believers. One of the main questions that arises through this message is, “Have I been faithful and obedient to what God has asked of me?”  Simply put, we are to abide in His love and to love other people well. That is our main priority as children of God, and that is what true success looks like. Loving well, means creating...

One of the most misunderstood concepts in scripture is rebuke. Although sometimes experienced in an unhealthy way, when done in love and community, it is one of the key gifts God has given us to create healthy community. In the past two weeks, Pastor Banning Liebscher has established that growth only happens when there is health; and the way we speak is a great marker of that. This week, Banning s...

What we say matters. This is the second week of diving into the topic of our words and the power they carry. Banning Liebscher reminds us that our words should be directly connected to what God is saying and doing, in and around us! As a community, our desire is to build life and health together; which is only possible through understanding how important our words actually are. As followers of Jes...

God has specific plans and purposes for your life. He desires to partner with you in accomplishing great things in you and through you. Our words are integral in that partnership. When we speak, we are either speaking from a place of belief or unbelief. In this message, Banning Liebscher reminds us that what we speak must come from a place of belief and understanding in God and His goodness. Ultim...

You are free. Nothing can hold you in bondage, because you are held in Him. Rebekah Lyons, author and Cofounder of Q Ideas, shares on what living in freedom can actually look like. Through her relatable, heartfelt and honest story, we get a glimpse into Rebekah’s process as well as experience the anointing of breakthrough that she carries because of it. Listen as Rebekah reminds us that God has al...

God’s plan for revival is, you. As we prepare for all that God is going to do this next year, Banning reminds us that we are all integral parts of His plan. John the Baptist knew who he was and what he was called to. Because of that, he walked in great confidence, clarity and conviction while fully engaging the call of God on his life. Listen as Banning Liebscher shares that, as children of God, t...

Our goal as the church, and individuals, is intimacy with God.  Intimacy is birthed out of relationship; with relationship comes responsibility. There is a point in all relationships when what is burning in their heart, suddenly begins to burn in yours. Listen as Banning Liebscher reminds us that the same is true in our prayer life. When we are intimate with God, His passions become ours and we be...

Success in the Kingdom is birthed in the secret place, in the unseen. We each have a unique, but equally key, role to play in seeing revival here on earth. Chris Quilala shares a profound and relatable word on what living a life fully surrendered truly looks like. Listen as he redefines success and encourages us to be faithful with the small things by simply saying “yes” to what is in front of us.

As children God we have been called to live, not just moments, but lifestyles of prayer. God has made Himself vulnerable and given us place to move His heart through prayer. Listen as Banning Liebscher shares a very practical and encouraging message on how to establish a life of prayer that Jesus modeled. By sharing the truth of what the goal of prayer really is: relationship, Banning strips away...

2017 was an amazing year, with celebrating our three year anniversary as a church and many more victories along the way. With our last church service of 2018, we invited some of our team on stage to both minister and share points of intercession to prepare us for 2018.  Listen to this JC Sacramento Message of the Week from Sunday 12/31/17.

This week, Pastor Banning Liebscher shares an encouraging Christmas Eve message on everyday hope! The story of Christmas reminds us that Jesus was sent to bring a hope that is unmovable and unshakable. Listen in as Banning explains that the promise of Jesus isn’t reserved for eternity but it exists for us in our everyday lives.

Guest speaker Eric Johnson, from Bethel Church Redding, brings an inspiring message on the direction that God is moving: forward. He takes us through Isaiah 43 declaring that God is doing a new thing, something that has never been done or seen before! Eric gives us insight on how to walk in step with where God is going by grabbing ahold of thankfulness and sowing seeds into the soil right now. God...

How do we deal with challenges in our life? Cultivating a heart of remembrance is a powerful tool for building our faith in who God is. In this week’s sermon, Banning Liebscher uses Psalm 77 to show us that during our times of trials, meditation and talking about who God is and what He has done for us helps us stay anchored to Him.

Celebration and honor are an integral part of God’s culture and His heart! Cultivating this posture of celebration not only impacts your life, but those around you. Listen as Zack Curry explains how true celebration gives us greater perspective, releases blessing, and reveals the Father’s heart.

Above all else, we desire His presence. Once you encounter His presence, you are ruined for anything else because it is there that you find what you were created for. Worship positions our life in a place of surrender and honor  and heightens our awareness of God to live an awakened life! Listen as Banning Liebscher continues his series on being awakened by the presence of God.

Mark Varughese, from Kingdomcity, shares on Psalm 133 and how critical unity within the body of Christ truly is. When there is anointing on the head of the church, only unity will allow that anointing to flow to the edges of the garment (the church body).  Listen as Mark shares on how we, as the church, are meant to gather around where we are going, not where we have been.

Mark Varughese, from Kingdomcity, shares a challenging message about realigning yourself with the true goal of life: to know Jesus. Listen, as Mark reminds us that God loves, and longs, to bless His children with the desires of their hearts, but those gifts were never meant to be what we aim for. Knowing Jesus is the ultimate goal of our lives and is an invitation into a radical adventure!

He is our great reward. In Exodus 33, Moses told God he would rather stay in the wilderness with Him, than enter the promised land without Him. Moses valued God’s Presence above all else. An Awakened Church is a people that value His presence above all else. Banning Liebscher shares a challenging message on our role, as the church, to host His presence and bring an authentic encounter to those aro...

“Prioritizing rules creates religion. Prioritizing relationships cultivates Kingdom.” Danny Silk, from Keep Your Love On, shares a liberating message on the power forgiveness and repentance. Listen as Danny strips away shame, from a subject that is so often accompanied by it, by shining truth on what true reconciliation looks like.”

Listen as Sergio De La Mora, from Cornerstone Church in San Diego, shares about how God will use unconventional ways to build His Kingdom. By incorporating his testimony, and a story about how God opened the door for him to build a church inside a prison in Tijuana, Mexico, Sergio’s message will challenge and inspire you to not settle but always press in for more.

In Luke 19, Jesus invites us to take part in His mission: “seek and to save that which was lost.” One of the main characteristics of past revivals, and an awakened church, is a group of people who have responded to that invitation of carrying, with Him, a burden for souls. Banning Liebscher gives a timely word about Jesus’ invitation while sharing stories, from past revivals, of when the Holy Spir...

We love, because He first loved us. We feel a burning desire to live for a cause greater than ourselves, because the Holy Spirit resides within us. Banning Liebscher shares a relatable and thought provoking message as he dissects what it truly means to live a life in love with Jesus. The church is called to live passionately, wholeheartedly, abandoned for Him. That simply will not come to fruition...
