Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

God calls us into greater faith, but it begins with remembering His past faithfulness. Pastor Banning reminds us that what God has done gives us confidence in what He will do.

Hope for a nation isn't found in politics or platforms; it's found in the local church being fully alive in love and purpose. Pastor Banning calls us back to the heart of revival, where believers who have encountered the love of God are fully engaged in their calling and live with deep awareness of why they are where they are.  

Are you building for the temporary or investing in eternity? In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Kresge challenges us to live with eternity in mind and not get lost in the vapor of the temporary. We are called to live generously, invest in what matters to God, and let selflessness mark our lives.

You cannot separate generosity and discipleship. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us that generosity is a heart posture. It has nothing to do with money but is first a call to true worship. What will you give for Jesus?

This week, Pastor Becky unpacks a powerful truth: what we believe about ourselves shapes how we live. Jesus came to rewrite our story, and through his sacrifice on the cross, we've been adopted and transformed from orphans into sons and daughters that have full access to the love and security of the Father. When we embrace this truth, we stop striving for worth and start living from the confidence...

You can't be a disciple of Jesus until you embrace your identity in Jesus. Pastor Mark Kresge shares a powerful word on the transformation that happens in our lives when we step into our Godly identity. Not only do we begin to experience abundant life, but we also discover who we are and how to live.

This week, Jesus Culture Sacramento and Jesus Culture San Diego joined together for a joint service. Pastors Becky Johnson and Zack Curry both brought powerful messages. Pastor Becky shares how God is calling us to let go of false comforts and prepare for a greater glory. Drawing from Haggai 2 and 2 Kings 4, she reminds us that how we prepare matters. Pastor Zack encourages us to press in, seek th...

In this episode, Banning Liebscher continues our prayer series, part of the House of Discipleship. He shares how gratitude shifts our mindset from lack to abundance, reconnecting us with God's character and the truth of His provision. Whether you're feeling frustrated with God's timing or overwhelmed by unmet expectations, this episode will encourage you to reframe your perspective and rediscover...

In this powerful message, Cody Williams challenges us to live lives that flow with the abundance of God's love, grace, and generosity. Drawing from John 7:37-38, Cody unpacks what it means to be rivers, not reservoirs, of living water, especially in a world that often leads us to operate out of fear and scarcity. He highlights three key areas where God is inviting us to align our hearts with His:...

Is your prayer life what you need it to be? Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us that abiding prayer is not a formality, it's a discipline and an invitation that requires something of us. Wherever our hearts and minds are abiding, the fruit of our lives will reflect that. Where are you abiding? 

The life of a disciple is a life of prayer. Pastor Banning unpacks the essential role of prayer in our walk with God by showing us how the key to Jesus' power, wisdom, connection to the Father, and decision-making was his consistency in the place of prayer. We are called to pray both in solitude and in community.

We are not called to walk alone. Pastor Becky Johnson concludes our series on community and reminds us that having the covering of community isn't just for our own benefit, but also for the strengthening of others. Community is costly, but the fruit we will see in our lives because of it is transformational.

In this episode, Micah, one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento missionaries, shares a powerful message on the resurrection of Jesus—the lynchpin of our faith. More than a martyr or moral teacher, Jesus is the risen Lord who conquered death, gives us eternal hope, and sends us out to see and serve others with that same hope.

God uses community to shape and form your life to look like Jesus. Pastor Banning continues his teaching on the importance of biblical community and why we need it in our lives.

Biblical community is countercultural and challenges our Western value of independence. Pastor Banning teaches us that our lives as Christians are meant to be lived, celebrated, and challenged within the context of community, as we are on the journey of becoming more like Jesus.

Obedience is the doorway into the blessed life. Pastor Michael Brodeur teaches us how obedience to God and discipleship are the same thing. Obedience requires that we partner with the Holy Spirit in our compliance. God will never make us do anything, but He will always partner with us to help us change our desires and actions. Is there a pattern of disobedience in your life?

Following Jesus is a radical call to obedience and submission. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that the mark of a disciple is a desire to obey God. If we want to be radically obedient in our lifetime, we must have radical intimacy with Jesus, because our willingness to do what God asks of us is directly connected to us encountering His love.

Pastor Banning continues his teaching on the importance of the Word of God in our daily lives. As followers of Jesus, we will not experience the fullness of life that God wants to release to us through the Bible if we do not approach it properly. When we approach reading the Bible with humility and allow our hearts to receive the words and then go and act upon them, there is blessing that comes up...

Jesus has the power to run everything from governments to galaxies, but at the center of who He is and what He does is the Church. Pastor Jeremy Johnson, Lead Pastor of Fearless Church in Los Angeles, reminds us that we are called to be a part of a family of believers that look and sound like Jesus. We can't say we love God and not love His bride, the Church.

Understanding the names of God gives us access to the power of God revealed in the name. God names himself for a reason. Pastor Brandon Cormier, Lead Pastor of Zeal Church in Colorado Springs, brings a timely and powerful word to our church about the importance of recognizing God's names and being able to hear when He calls ours. When He speaks, and what He speaks is vital to our relationship with...

Spiritual hunger is the byproduct of hope rising in our lives. Andy Byrd, co-founder of Youth With A Mission's Fire and Fragrance, Circuit Riders, and co-leader of The Send, encourages our church family that it is possible to have so much hunger for God in our lives that we never lose our zeal. God wants to reconnect the heart of the Church to His presence, as we are on the verge of a global spiri...

Our lives are to be planted in the Word of God, because any other foundation that we would attempt to plant our lives on is unstable and faulty. Pastor Banning explains the importance of being disciples that study scripture and practice the Word of God in our daily lives. We cannot afford to have a casual, inconsistent relationship with the Bible.

Jesus offers us the baptism of the Holy Spirit so that we would be His witnesses and move in power in our daily lives, doing all the things that He did. Kathi Frye, one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento Associate Pastors and Lead Intercessor, shares with us a powerful message on the meaning and importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit in order to experience the fullness of life that God has f...

Forgiveness is the currency of Christianity. Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks the concept of forgiveness and its direct connection to living a life of freedom in Christ. When we are unwilling to forgive, and we forget that God is the final judge, we keep ourselves in a place of bondage to others and sin.

Sometimes we forget that no sin or circumstance is bigger than the cross. Jesus set us free from sin and our past. Pastor Paul Geerling, Senior Pastor of iSEE CHURCH in Australia, reminds us that when we have a revelation on the inside of the freedom God gave us, it changes how we live on the outside.
