Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

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 the Lord, and respond to His invitation with faith and hunger. God is moving—let’s be ready to receive.

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 the transformative power of thankfulness.

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: love, grace, and generosity. This episode will inspire you to move from self-preservation to purpose and from control to Christlike compassion.

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?
