Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

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.

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.

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.

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.

We’re all called to disciple and to be discipled, but the way we show up in those relationships matters. Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks eight key principles that shape healthy, transformative discipleship. If you want to grow, pursue it with intention by showing up, asking to be discipled, and leaning into the process.

Revival begins with God awakening His people to the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission. Pastor Banning reminds us that discipleship isn’t just for a few, it’s something every believer is called to. True discipleship means walking with people, inviting God to work through our lives, and helping others become more like Jesus. Who are you investing in?

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. To disciple people within the charismatic movement, we must understand the gifts—what they are, how they function, and the purpose they serve in the life of the Church. These gifts aren’t just to be admired, but practiced and cultivated. As we learn to walk in them, we anchor ourselves in the truth of God’s Word, growing in discernment and maturity along the way.

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.

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 given you?

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are alive, and we need every follower of Jesus actively operating in them. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us about how the gifts of the Spirit are meant to serve others. We are called to give what God has given us.
