Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

The testimonies of God reveal His heart for us and others. Pastor Banning reminds us that everything God is, and all He has for us, can be found in Jesus. God is a giver and does not show favoritism. What He does in someone else’s life, He is also willing and able to do in our own lives.

Faith attracts Heaven, activates our partnership with God, and looks like something. Pastor Banning teaches us that as believers, God invites us to partner with Him in His plans and purposes. Our belief in God’s word is revealed in how we prepare of its fulfillment. We have to adjust our lives to prepare for what God is saying.

The blessing of God in our lives is directly connected to our obedience. Pastor Banning Liebscher talks to us about the importance of stewarding our finances, as true riches are a byproduct of how we steward the small things. We cannot live by our flesh and the world’s standards and expect to experience the favor and blessings of God.

What are you looking for, or expecting God to do this year? Benny Perez, lead pastor of ChurchLV in Las Vegas, Nevada, shares a message on the power of remembering and letting go of your past, not reliving it. We are invited to trust God into our future, not try and get what God has for us in our own way. God works by our expectation of Him.

Do we know what Jesus says, and are we basing how we live on those things? Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that being a disciple of Jesus means that we are committed to a lifelong journey of becoming like Him, and leading others on this journey as well. We cannot lead people to places that we have not gone, or are not going. We must allow Jesus to redefine how we live, think, and view things.

Phil Manginelli, Lead Pastor of The Square Church in Smyrna, Georgia, shares out of 1 Timothy 2 about being a people that lifts up holy hands. God is pouring out His presence and coming where He is wanted in this season, but we will be unable to receive what He is doing if we approach Him with hard, embittered hearts. We must choose to keep our hearts tender so that we can receive all that God is doing in humility and holiness.

Danny Silk, President and Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose, shared with our church family about why we pray for revival. Danny reminds us that revival is supposed to continually move us in the direction of Christ. The end goal is not the encounter, but to look, act, talk, and be more like Jesus.

Tim Hall, one of Australia’s leading evangelists, joins our Jesus Culture Sacramento family to remind us that it’s time for a move of God with the reviving works of power. The divine power of God is alive inside of us, to see and move in miracles, and miracles requires us to respond in action in order to receive and walk them out.

If we are going to effectively navigate the worries of life and actually bear fruit, we must learn to come to Him and cast our cares on Him. Pastor Banning Liebscher continues his message on the importance of learning to care about things, but not carry them to the point that our souls are wearied and tired by them. God’s will for our life is that we would live from a place of rest by exchanging the weight of life’s burdens, for the peace that Jesus offers us.

We live in one of the most unique times in all of history, because of the amount of information that we consume daily. The news articles, reports, and details regarding the lives of people that we do not know become a pipeline to our hearts, and unfortunately burden us with the worries of life- grief, tragedy, trauma, etc. Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that as believers, we are called to bear fruit in every area of our lives, and we are in charge of what we allow to come into our hearts. What are you choosing to watch, read, listen to, and discuss, and what type of fruit is it bearing in your life?
