Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

God invites us to be cheerful and generous givers. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that regular giving is a discipline that God invites us to develop in our lives, and is a counter cultural practice. Giving is one of the most radical things you can engage in on earth.

There’s something in each of us that wants to take the Bible literally, but often life and circumstances get in the way. Pastor Neil Smith, International Director of Planetshakers, encourages us to be people that pray with power and boldness. Our confidence must come from God!

We were created to know God and be in relationship with Him. Pastor Banning reminds us that we are all in need of a savior, and only Jesus can save, heal, and completely transform our lives.

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.

Pastor Banning hosts Sheri Silk, Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose and Director of Jesus Culture’s Movement, and Michael Brodeur, Jesus Culture Sacramento’s Pastor of Theology, to discuss how to navigate pain, loss, and hard circumstances in life with a right view of God as a good father.

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.
