Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

It's Not About You Jul 21, 2026 Pastor Banning reminds us that worship was never meant to revolve around us, our feelings, or our circumstances, but around the One who is worthy. Throughout Scripture, God invites His people to respond with surrender, adoration, and delight as we lift our voices to Him. Worship is not about what we receive, but about giving God the honor He deserves and joining in the song of heaven.

Do Not Flirt With Idols Jul 15, 2026 In this message, Pastor Becky Johnson reminds us that spiritual maturity isn’t about believing we’re beyond temptation, it’s about keeping our guard up and Christ at the center of our lives. As she unpacks the subtle nature of idolatry, we’re challenged to address the desires beneath our sin and choose wholehearted devotion to Jesus.

You Are Not Your Own Jul 7, 2026 What do lawsuits and sexuality have to do with living a life that reflects the gospel? This week, Pastor Becky unpacks why Paul connects these two topics in 1 Corinthians, reminding us that while we have the right to do many things, not everything is beneficial. As followers of Christ, we belong to Him and are called to submit every area of our lives to His truth.

A Lasting Crown Jun 29, 2026 This week, Pastor Banning reminded us that mature love means laying down our rights for the sake of others. The gospel calls us to a life of sacrifice, knowing that our choices impact those around us. Like an athlete training for victory, we are called to live with discipline as we pursue an eternal crown rather than temporary rewards.

Act Like Men Jun 23, 2026 What does it mean to act like men? Pastor Banning pulls from 1 Corinthians 16 to lay out a picture of biblical manhood that goes beyond fatherhood. Men who are awake, standing firm, and carrying courage into every room they walk into. Whether you’re a father, a spiritual father, or growing into it, this message is for you.

An Acceptable Offering Jun 16, 2026 Pastor Banning reminds us that God desires an acceptable offering. One that is our first and our best, not an afterthought. True worship requires sacrifice, often costing us our comfort, time, or resources. It is sacrificial and often inconvenient by nature, but God is worthy of our highest priority and wholehearted surrender.

What Does Love Look Like? Jun 9, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson preaches from 1 Corinthians 5. Paul wasn’t primarily concerned with the sin. He was concerned with the silence. What does it look like when a church mistakes tolerance for grace, and what does real love, correction, and accountability look like in a family that belongs to each other?

Gripped with Compassion Jun 2, 2026 Pastor Banning teaches that God is inviting us into partnership with His heart, believing for salvations not only among those we know but also those we don’t. As we allow our hearts to be moved by what moves Him, we step into true compassion, a deep, gut-wrenching response that leads us to prayer and action. Every move of God in history has come through people who carried what was on His heart, an

The Power of Unity May 26, 2026 This week, Pastor Michael Brodeur shares on the power of unity and how God calls us to celebrate our differences while walking together in oneness. Even with individual giftings, we can do harm when we push our own agenda instead of building according to God’s plan.

Dwelling in the Atmosphere of Encounter May 19, 2026 Lyle Phillips, lead pastor of Legacy Nashville, reminds us that we were created to live in continual encounter with God. As we seek His face above everything else and bring our desires to Him in prayer, we discover that God isn’t distant. He invites us to ask, pursue, and expect to find Him. When we prioritize His presence, every other desire begins to find its proper place.

It's All About Jesus May 12, 2026 Pastor Banning shares a powerful message on the true solution to every problem, which is the gospel. When we live from the reality of who Jesus is and what He has done, we experience the abundant life God desires for us. But when we take our eyes off Jesus and place them elsewhere, we quickly find ourselves in trouble.

We Begin with Grace May 5, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks Paul’s letter to the Corinthians and its powerful message for today’s church. In a culture shaping us away from Christ, we’re reminded that holiness isn’t something we earn. It’s something we receive through the grace of Jesus and the finished work of the cross.

Living It Out Apr 28, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson brings the journey through Romans to a powerful close, echoing Paul’s call to something deeper; true unity comes through sacrificial love for one another, and sacrificial love means to die to self and live in a way that transforms our relationships.

Let Them See Jesus Apr 21, 2026 Micah Studer, one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento missionaries, shares a powerful message on the way of Jesus—death that leads to life. As we lay down self-centeredness and embrace a life of surrender, we begin to understand that true fruitfulness comes through self-denying love. To see Jesus rightly is to see Him crucified, and in following Him, we discover what it truly means to find life.

Unity Through Love Apr 14, 2026 Pastor Banning teaches that true unity in the Church is only possible through love that is marked by humility, forgiveness, and selflessness. As we encounter God’s mercy, our lives become a response of surrender, shaping how we love others and engage in community. When we are rooted in a passionate love for Jesus, we begin to reflect His heart, and unity becomes the natural result.

God For Us Apr 7, 2026 Pastor Banning shares the power of the resurrection and reminds us that because Jesus is alive, He has the authority to save, heal, deliver, forgive, restore, and redeem. The empty tomb declares that He is who He says He is and will do what He promised. We also hear powerful testimonies from two of our Jesus Culture Sacramento young adults, reminding us that God is always pursuing us and will not

God’s Heart for Israel and Riches for Gentiles Mar 31, 2026 Pastor Banning walks through Romans 9–11, revealing how the gospel fulfills God’s promises to Israel and extends mercy to all. He reminds us that our views must be shaped by Scripture, not culture, and that our salvation is part of a much bigger story rooted in God’s faithfulness. The gospel humbles us, unifies us, and points us to Jesus, the only one who saves and the fulfillment of every promise

Life in the Spirit Pt. 2 Mar 24, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks how we live as new creations, holding the tension of the “now and not yet.” While creation, believers, and even the Spirit groan in a world marked by suffering, we don’t grieve without hope, our future is secure and being made new. In the midst of it all, the Holy Spirit meets us, interceding on our behalf and strengthening us to persevere.

Promised Land Mar 17, 2026 Christine Caine reminds us that the Christian life flows from abiding in Christ. Freedom isn’t just deliverance, it’s stepping in and possessing all that God has promised. As we remain in Him, we grow into maturity and fruitfulness.

Life in the Spirit Mar 9, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson shares how life in the Spirit sets us free to walk in the new life Jesus has given us. Romans 8 teaches us that we are no longer called to manage sin but to live alive to God through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Christ, we are no longer condemned, and everything God has is now ours.

Dying to Live Mar 2, 2026 Pastor Becky teaches out of Romans 6 and reminds us that our old nature was crucified with Christ—who we were before Jesus is not who we are now. As we reckon the old man dead and obey our new Master, we step into the freedom and new life He’s given us.

By Faith Feb 23, 2026 Pastor Banning continues our journey through Romans, reminding us that we are justified not by works, but by faith. Righteousness, or right standing before God, is credited to us the same way it was to Abraham: through unwavering trust in Him. We are called to live by faith, not by sight, confident that what God promises, He is faithful to fulfill.

The Level Playing Field Feb 17, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson walks us through Romans 3, revealing how the gospel levels the playing field for all of us. The law exposes our need, but righteousness comes through faith in Jesus alone. His blood is the only path to redemption, justification, and true unity. When we understand that we’ve all been rescued by the same mercy, pride falls away, and the gospel reshapes how we live and relate to

The Radical Kindness of God Feb 10, 2026 Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that the gospel is the only true hope for both the world and the Church. As we submit our lives to God and align our hearts with His, we begin to reflect the righteousness and unity that only the gospel can produce. If we’re going to carry this good news to others, we must do it marked by the radical kindness and humility God has shown us.

Introduction to Romans Feb 2, 2026 Pastor Becky Johnson calls us to be deeply planted in the Word of God, reminding us that transformation doesn’t happen with a casual relationship to Scripture. As the Word becomes woven into the fabric of our lives, what begins as duty can grow into discipline and eventually delight. A life with Jesus is inseparable from a life in His Word.

Building the Nets for Revival Jan 28, 2026 In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Varughese, Founder and Senior Leader of Kingdomcity, unpacks the important role of connection and contribution within the church. He reminds us that revival isn’t just about what God pours out, but whether we’re prepared to sustain it together, challenging us to shift our prayers from asking for more blessings to asking for greater capacity.

A Fruitful Life Jan 23, 2026 In this message, Pastor Becky highlights the importance of pruning as a pathway to a fruitful life. God is portrayed as the “vine dresser,” pruning us not as punishment, but out of kindness so that we may bear more fruit.

Prayer as Our Default Jan 13, 2026 Pastor Banning reminds us that prayer isn’t just a discipline; it’s an invitation to access God and His resources at any moment. Prayer should become our default posture, not our last resort, because God really does respond to His people.

In the Cool of the Day Jan 6, 2026 God’s original design was daily fellowship with humanity. Pastor Banning reminds us how Jesus restores that relationship and how prayer and fasting refocus our hearts to walk with God and hear His voice.

Prayer and Fasting Jan 6, 2026 In this message, Pastor Becky Johnson teaches on prayer and fasting as a life-giving invitation, not a religious obligation. Jesus reframed fasting by modeling a way of life marked by communion with the Father, simple obedience, and sincere devotion. As we develop a lifestyle of talking with God through prayer and fasting, we create space for Him to do much with what we offer.

Victory Over Vultures Dec 23, 2025 Our God is a promise maker and a promise keeper, even when His promises don’t unfold the way we expect. Pastor Michael Brodeur shares how to recognize and overcome the “vultures” that try to steal God’s promises during seasons of waiting and testing. God is faithful, and every promise is yes and amen in Jesus.

Authority of Scripture Dec 16, 2025 In a world filled with confusion, Joel Muddamalle, Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, calls us back to the authority of Scripture as our source of clarity and stability. When God’s Word becomes our foundation, it grounds our hope and helps us truly know Jesus on His terms.

The Obstacles to Discipleship Dec 8, 2025 Discipleship is essential to fulfilling God’s purpose, but it will always confront our comfort and independence. Pastor Becky unpacks how offense and entitlement can become obstacles that quietly hinder our growth and relationships. True discipleship calls us to lay down control, respond with humility, and allow God to shape us through others.

When God Speaks Dec 1, 2025 God is always speaking, inviting His people to hear His voice and follow His lead. Pastor Banning calls us to anchor our lives in Scripture, stay open to God’s relational leading, and learn to recognize His voice with clarity and confidence. He wants to be the source we rely on—and when we listen with intention, we discover a Father who knows us intimately and guides us faithfully.

Missio Dei: The Mission of God Nov 24, 2025 God is a missional God who invites His people into His mission. Pastor Mark Kresge challenges us to rediscover the joy of our salvation, see the brokenness around us with compassion, and step boldly into sharing the gospel. The good news is personal, but it was never meant to be private.

Vision Sunday Nov 17, 2025 Pastor Banning revisits the prophetic words given to Jesus Culture, and reminds us of the promise for our churches found in Haggai 2. God is intentionally shaping what’s ahead, and what is coming will be greater than what we’ve seen before.

The Posture of a Disciple Nov 10, 2025 We’re all called to disciple and to be discipled, but the way we show up in those relationships matters.

If you want to grow, pursue it with intention by showing up, asking to be discipled, and leaning into the process.

Awakened to Disciple Nov 3, 2025 Revival begins with God awakening His people to the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission.

Supernatural Gifts of the Spirit Oct 27, 2025 In this week’s message, Pastor Becky unpacks what it means to operate in the gifts of the Spirit and why they are essential for every believer.

These gifts aren’t just to be admired, but practiced and cultivated. As we learn to wal

Living for Eternity Oct 20, 2025 Life is short, but eternity lasts forever. Pastor Banning reminds us that one day we will stand before God, and what will truly matter are the things we built on the words of Jesus. The titles, achievements, and rewards of this world won’t follow us into eternity. Only what’s rooted in Him will last.

Supernatural Gifts of the Spirit: Power Oct 13, 2025 Every Christian has a mandate to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and advance the Kingdom of heaven on earth, and reveal Jesus to a lost and dying world. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that it is impossible to fulfill this mandate without the power of the Spirit. The demonstration of God’s power through the gifts of the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus. Are you using the gift God has give

The Lord is My Shepherd Sep 23, 2025 This week, Pastor Becky shares from Psalm 23 and reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd. Too often, we try to lead ourselves and carry the weight of life on our own—but true rest and provision are found only when we allow Him to shepherd us. In every season and every need, the question remains: Is He enough?

Family Talk Sep 16, 2025 We need God to move in the nation.

The key to staying in this place is to guard our hearts, and stick close to the presence and Word of God in the midst of everything going on around us.

God is Holy Aug 25, 2025 All of God’s attributes are connected to His holiness. Pastor Banning reminds us that the Christian life is a response to the revelation of God’s holiness. Without understanding it, we can’t see God for who He is or become like Him, and He longs for us to look like Him.

Sons and Daughters Jun 17, 2025 This week, Pastor Becky unpacks a powerful truth: what we believe about ourselves shapes how we live.

Rivers Not Reservoirs May 27, 2025 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:

Foundations: Abiding Prayer May 13, 2025 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?

Foundations: Prayer May 7, 2025 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.

Community: Part 3 Apr 29, 2025 We are not called to walk alone.

Alive in the Earth Apr 22, 2025 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.

Community: Part 2 Apr 15, 2025 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.

Community Apr 8, 2025 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: Part 2 Apr 1, 2025 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?

Obedience Mar 25, 2025 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.

The Word of God: Part 2 Mar 18, 2025 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

I Love My Church Mar 12, 2025 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.

We can’t say we love God and not love His bride, the Church.

Name Droppin' Mar 5, 2025 Understanding the names of God gives us access to the power of God revealed in the name. God names himself for a reason.

When He speaks, and what He speaks is vital to our relationship with

The Gift of Hunger Feb 25, 2025 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

The Word of God Feb 18, 2025 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.

We cannot afford to have a casual, inconsistent relationship with the Bible.

Filled with the Spirit Feb 12, 2025 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.

Freedom: Part 3 Feb 4, 2025 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.

Freedom Jan 29, 2025 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.

Freedom: Part 2 Jan 22, 2025 Any area of my life that is not dripping with freedom is under the influence of a lie. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us the importance of getting free of any and every lie that stands in the way of us believing who God says that He is. What we believe about God will directly shape how we interact with Him. Is your experience of God limited by lies you are believing?

Freedom: Part 1 Jan 14, 2025 Jesus came to save us from death and deliver us and make us whole from the effects of sin. Pastor Banning teaches us that any area in our lives that we are not free in, Jesus invites us to be set free. Are you settling for things in your life that are actually just the effects of your life before you knew Jesus?

Without Intermission Jan 8, 2025 As followers of Jesus, we are called to live a life of ceaseless prayer. Pastor Banning envisions our church family to be people of relational prayer, where we are constantly talking to God about everything. In order to establish this relationship with God in our lives, we must know Him as a father and a friend.
