Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

This week, Zack Curry shares about the transformation that’s available to us when we trust fully in Jesus. Taking us through the life of Peter, we see Peter’s moments of weakness and failure that became invitations for him to meet with Jesus and be transformed. Holding to the promise that God finishes what He starts, Zack challenges us to anchor our trust to who God says He is.

Banning Liebscher continues his challenge to us that Christianity and community cannot be separated. The fullness of God’s plan in your life involves the community He places you in. He takes us from an organized to an organic community and in the process there is a struggle that we often try to avoid.

In this week’s message, a Jesus Culture panel addresses the impact of community on their lives. They talk about the importance of living in connection with one another. Entering into community can be inconvenient and tough, but it is one of the most life-giving things we can do as believers. We want to move from being a crowd of people to a FAMILY that does life together.

In this week’s message, Banning talks about the importance of being aware of God’s favor in your life. Favor is a huge marker of which season you are in. Knowing and being aware of that favor allows you to fully walk in what the Lord has for you.

In this week’s message, Kim Walker-Smith highlights the importance of empathy as we love others. Choosing to love and understand people mean that we exhibit the love of God. In doing so, we truly represent the heart of Jesus towards us when He gave His life for ALL of us.

In the week’s message, Banning Liebscher talks about the true impact of encountering God. A life that is fully dedicated to staying in His presence will change the lives of those we come in contact with. They encounter Him because of His fragrance that is on our lives.

There is safety and provision when we stay in a place of thankfulness. This week, Banning challenges us to create a habit of being thankful. He reminds us to not only be thankful for the big things and for what God does, but also for the small things and for WHO God is.

In this week’s message, Ben Fitzgerald expands on the fear of man in our lives. Ben highlights how we reason away the wisdom of God because we fear what people think of us. When we fear man more than God, we live a pseudo version of ourselves and become someone God never intended us to be. However, the only opinion that truly matters is the one from the One who created us.

How do you handle change? Often times we become frustrated or rigid when God moves us from one season into another. This week, Banning talks about our struggle with change and how, when we are simply BEING with Jesus, we actually become aware of and equipped for the season that we’re in.

At the root of insecurity is a lack of identity. When we live from a place of insecurity we can’t fulfill the role God has for us. We will not be defined by what we do. Instead, we will be defined by what God says about us. In the midst of all of our insecurities, God will show up and give us a new name. Only God can speak identity over us! It’s time for men to know their name and speak identity to others!
