Our goal as believers is to become mature in Christ and look more like Him. Pastor Banning teaches us the difference between seeing church as a family versus a business.

Do you need God more than anything else? Lyle Phillips, Lead Pastor of Legacy Church in Nashville, Tennessee, brings us a challenging word on the importance of being people who are desperate for God’s presence and movement in our lives. Desperation looks like something, and requires that we willing to be broken before God.
When we believe the truth about God as a father, it leads to freedom and an abundant, encouraging, thriving life. Pastor Banning Liebscher continues his series on God as father, by teaching us the importance of recognizing that God is not like humans. God is uniquely good and perfect.
How I perceive something determines how I engage with it. Pastor Banning Liebscher talks to us about the importance of understanding and relating to God as a good Father. Jesus came to reveal the Father to us, and when we we have a clear picture of God as our Father, it changes everything in our lives.
Faith is more than just hearing the Word of God, it’s doing it. Pastor Becky Johnson calls us to be men and women of Abrahamic faith, and reminds us that we can only obtain the promises of God through obedience to God. Are you willing to follow God when you don’t have all the details?
The Church is most effective in accomplishing the mission of God when the generations are connected. Pastor Banning Liebscher calls us to build a church that welcomes the next generation and recognizes our need for one another. There is great strength and practical fruit in our lives when we are personally connected to both the younger and older generation.
How we approach the Word of God matters, because His Word is what helps us accomplish living a life of freedom and abundance. Pastor Banning challenges worldly, humanistic mindsets by reminding us that we are not citizens of this world, so we must know the Bible, and keep God the center of our lives.
Holiness is not just separating from sin, it’s setting our lives apart completely for God. Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that holiness is a relationship that we have to embrace, not a list of rules that we have to follow.
Our priorities shift when we recognize the moment we are in. Pastor Banning Liebscher calls us to be people that are alert, sober-minded, watchful, and prayerful.
God has instructed and commanded us to be aware of our speech. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us about the power of our tongue. We were created in God’s image to create life, reproduce, and multiply. What are you creating with your words?
It’s time to resurrect, remember, and steward our promises from God! Pastor Michael Brodeur teaches us about the process of obtaining the promises of God in our lives, and how to deal with the disappointment and pain along the way. We cannot go where God is leading us with out His promises, and prayer is essential in pursuing them.
God is wanting to release a cry for Him, and a cry for revival in the hearts of every believer. Pastor Banning Liebscher imparts fresh vision for 2024 and teaches us that God created us to have hunger, and that hunger moves us towards things that we need in life. Our life as believers should be led by hunger for God, and a cry for God to move in our day, city, state, and nation.
What does the Christmas story mean to you? Pastor Becky Johnson encourages us to remember the significance of Jesus’ birth. He didn’t come to restore us back to who we were, but to make us completely different, and better than new.
Pastor Banning finishes his series, the Gospel of Power, and teaches us about the power behind Jesus’ ability to forgive our sins. Jesus invites us to have a tangible encounter with Him, because He wants to reveal Himself to us as God. When the Gospel of power is demonstrated on earth, there is real impact and real influence on people.
There is a God in Heaven who loves us, and has the power to heal and set us free! Pastor Banning Liebscher continues his series on the Gospel of Power and addresses the need for us to be followers of Jesus that don’t just talk about His power, but demonstrate it. Jesus sent us into the world and filled us with the Holy Spirit so that we could present a Gospel of love, healing, and power. Just as the disciples learned as they followed Jesus, so can we.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is nothing apart from power. When we are saved and become members of the Kingdom of God, there are many blessings and benefits that we have access to. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us how the Kingdom of God is revealed and delivered to our lives in power. Jesus made health, healing, and wholeness available to us through the cross. Are you living in the fullness of what Jesus died to give you?
Hospitality has the power to demonstrate the Kingdom of God. Pastor Darren Rouanzoin, lead Pastor of Garden Church, dives into the story of Zacchaeus and exposes Jesus’ radical commitment to advancing the Kingdom through simple acts of kindness. Jesus consistently demonstrates what it looks like to use scandalous hospitality to transform lives, and invites us to do the same.
At the end of the day, our mission is revival. Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that there is a call of God on our lives as individuals, but we are also called to unify as believers and run together. There is so much power when a community is in unity and moving together to accomplish a common vision.
Jesus Culture has always been a ministry and a church marked by prayer. Pastor Banning concludes his series by reminding us that our strength as followers of Jesus, and as a church, will always be found in our commitment to humble ourselves before the Lord, not in our ability to plan and strategize.
Healings, signs, wonders, and miracles are all part of the history of Jesus Culture. Pastor Banning Liebscher shares stories of God encountering people and marking them through His presence and power.
We want to see revival in our day, and the local church is the vehicle through which it comes. Pastor Banning Liebscher encourages us with the prophetic history of Jesus Culture, and reminds us that we are called to not just build a good church for people to attend, but to be a company of believers that actually asks God for audacious things. If God has poured out his spirit before, He will do it again!
Our history with the Lord matters and we need to share the stories and experiences that have shaped who we are. Pastor Banning Liebscher talks about the mission and mandate of Jesus Culture, and the history behind who we are where, and where we came from as a church.
What is our first reaction to a threat, and who do we trust the most in those moments? Pastor Becky Johnson helps us understand how in the midst of threats and trials, our reactions are good indicators of what is important to us, and where our trust lies. God is interested in every part of our lives. He wants to be our first response and have our full trust. The enemy’s threats are nothing compared to the presence and promises of God.
Jesus is a man on a mission, and He is inviting his church to be a missional people. Pastor Mark Kresge calls us to be a people filled with desire for Jesus, moved by compassion for the lost, and that publicly demonstrates the power of the Gospel.
Where there is no challenge, there is no growth. This week Pastor Banning wrapped up his three part series on The Culture of Challenge. We learned that a challenge does not disqualify acceptance, but rather it moves us towards the ultimate goals as a believer: to grow in maturity.
To have a high invitation culture is just as important as cultivating a culture with high challenge. Pastor Banning Liebscher dives into the life of Jesus and how He so excellently demonstrated what it looks like to be provokingly kind, while speaking truth in the lives of others.
Maturity is the goal in the life of every believer. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that the Holy Spirit was sent to us on mission to renew, transform, and empower believers to do the works of Jesus. This process is maturing, and it is our job to wage war against anything that would hinder us from progressing.
Our Jesus Culture Sacramento family celebrates 9 years of being a church with our close friend, Andy Byrd, co-founder of Youth With A Mission’s Fire and Fragrance, Circuit Riders, and co-leader of The Send. Andy calls us to be a church that moves in both spirit and truth, and responds in urgency and faith to the world around us.
What Jesus did on the cross is a key to living a life of thankfulness. Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that there is nothing we have that is our own.
