Pastor Banning Liebscher continues teaching on generosity, challenging us to move from giving out of obligation or pressure to giving from a revelation of God’s love and goodness. A cheerful giver is not motivated by guilt or compulsion, but by a deep understanding that everything we have comes from God and that we get to partner with Him by sowing seeds for a harvest.
Generosity is more than what we give. It begins with recognizing that everything we have belongs to God and has been entrusted to us. Pastor Banning Liebscher challenges us to live open handed, trusting God as a good Father and allowing what He has given us to flow through us to others.
What does it look like to live a whole life? Deborah Giles unpacks integrity as the alignment of what we believe, value, say, and do, showing how a divided heart can leave us exhausted, anxious, and spiritually stuck. Through Scripture, community, and the work of the Holy Spirit, we can stop hiding, take responsibility for our choices, and allow God to bring wholeness to every area of our lives.
Pastor Banning reminds us that generosity is foundational to the Christian life because it reflects the heart of our abundantly generous God. As we faithfully sow seeds through radical generosity, God partners with our obedience to bring lasting fruit in every area of our lives. The question isn’t whether God will send the rain, but whether He will find seed in the field of our lives.
Teó Hayashi, Bishop of Zion Church and Founder of Dunamis Movement, shares a powerful message on living as Kingdom citizens entrusted with the keys of the Kingdom. With a passion for God’s presence and the expansion of His Kingdom, he calls us to walk in the authority Jesus has given us, bear lasting fruit, and make disciples of every nation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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, and He is still inviting us to do the same.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 stop until we fully receive His love and salvation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
