Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

It matters what we do, and how we respond when our hearts and minds are offended. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us that often our offense is not with people, but rather, with God. Jesus’ ways, thoughts, and plans for our lives will always confront our own agendas. It’s in these moments that we have a choice to lean into God, persist, and trust, or choose to get offended by His boundaries and ways of leading us.

As children of God, we need to understand that God’s word brings life to our bodies. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us about the logos word of God, and reminds us that our inheritance as believers is that we hear God, and His voice is meant to be a daily source of life for us.

On the other side of setbacks, delays, and death is resurrection life as we fully yield to the plan of God. Corey Russell from Upperroom Denver, joins us to celebrate 8 years of being a church, and call us to desperately seek God by allowing Him to bring forth new prayers in this season, as things that we thought were dead come back to life.

In seasons of waiting, Jesus is either Lord over our lives, or we are. Pastor Becky Johnson brings a challenging word that confronts how we often tend to act in seasons of waiting. When we can’t wait patiently, our worship, attention, and focus will always wander to unworthy things. We have to choose to relinquish control, and trust that God is using the waiting seasons of our lives.

Pastor Phil Manginelli from The Square Church in Smyrna, Georgia, joins Pastor Banning to talk about how we can restore the altar of our homes. The things that we want to see in our cities, churches, and places of work begin with what we cultivate and pursue in our homes.

The Word of God is the only thing that gives life to our spirit. Pastor Banning teaches us about the rhema word of God, which is specific to us, heard only in relationship with God, and situational. God is always talking to us, but we must learn to listen and pay attention, because His words will sustain us.

There is great blessing in remembering, and great pain in forgetting. Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us the importance of remembering the things that God has done in our lives, so that we don’t lose sight of what He can do. We have to be diligent in our remembrance so that we can experience the peace of God, and continue to walk in victory and move forward in all that God has for us and our families.

Insecurity is the largest distraction from eternity in the life of a believer, because it causes us to look for security in personal accomplishments and people other than Jesus. Pastor Banning Liebscher encourages us to pursue the heart and agenda of God at all costs, and find contentment in Him- who He says we are, and what He is doing in, through, and around our lives.

You can’t be a lazy Christian and fulfill the purposes of God in a generation. We are salt and light- called by God to change history by walking in salvation, authority, greater longing for God, and transformation. Cindy Jacobs brings a timely and encouraging word to our Jesus Culture Sacramento community. Cindy is the co-founder of Generals International, a prophet, author, speaker, and teacher with a heart for discipling nations in the areas of prayer and prophetic gifts.

God is calling us to turn aside to encounter Him so that he can bring revival to the nation and our churches. Our Jesus Culture Youth Pastor, Jonathan Gilstrap, challenges us to turn away from distractions and personal agendas in our lives, in order to turn toward God, engage with His plans, and hear His voice.
