Sons and Daughters
This week, Pastor Becky unpacks a powerful truth: what we believe about ourselves shapes how we live. Jesus came to rewrite our story, and through his sacrifice on the cross, we’ve been adopted and transformed from orphans into sons and daughters that have full access to the love and security of the Father. When we embrace this truth, we stop striving for worth and start living from the confidence of who we already are.

Foundations: Abiding Prayer
Is your prayer life what you need it to be? Pastor Becky Johnson teaches us that abiding prayer is not a formality, it’s a discipline and an invitation that requires something of us. Wherever our hearts and minds are abiding, the fruit of our lives will reflect that. Where are you abiding?

Alive in the Earth
In this episode, Micah, one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento missionaries, shares a powerful message on the resurrection of Jesus—the lynchpin of our faith.

Apr 22, 2025
Community: Part 2
God uses community to shape and form your life to look like Jesus. Pastor Banning continues his teaching on the importance of biblical community and why we need it in our lives.
Apr 15, 2025

Obedience: Part 2
Obedience is the doorway into the blessed life. Pastor Michael Brodeur teaches us how obedience to God and discipleship are the same thing. Obedience requires that we partner with the Holy Spirit in our compliance. God will never make us do anything, but He will always partner with us to help us change our desires and actions. Is there a pattern of disobedience in your life?
Apr 01, 2025
Obedience
Following Jesus is a radical call to obedience and submission. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that the mark of a disciple is a desire to obey God. If we want to be radically obedient in our lifetime, we must have radical intimacy with Jesus, because our willingness to do what God asks of us is directly connected to us encountering His love.

The Word of God: Part 2
Pastor Banning continues his teaching on the importance of the Word of God in our daily lives. As followers of Jesus, we will not experience the fullness of life that God wants to release to us through the Bible if we do not approach it properly. When we approach reading the Bible with humility and allow our hearts to receive the words and then go and act upon them, there is blessing that comes upon our lives.

I Love My Church
Jesus has the power to run everything from governments to galaxies, but at the center of who He is and what He does is the church. Pastor Jeremy Johnson, Lead Pastor of Fearless Church in Los Angeles, reminds us that we are called to be a part of a family of believers that look and sound like Jesus. We can’t say we love God and not love His bride, the Church.

Name Droppin'
Understanding the names of God gives us access to the power of God revealed in the name. God names himself for a reason. Pastor Brandon Cormier, Lead Pastor of Zeal Church in Colorado Springs, brings a timely and powerful word to our church about the importance of recognizing God’s names and being able to hear when He calls ours. When He speaks, and what He speaks is vital to our relationship with Him.

The Gift of Hunger
Spiritual hunger is the byproduct of hope rising in our lives. Andy Byrd, co-founder of Youth With A Mission’s Fire and Fragrance, Circuit Riders, and co-leader of The Send, encourages our church family that it is possible to have so much hunger for God in our lives that we never lose our zeal. God wants to reconnect the heart of the Church to His presence, as we are on the verge of a global spiritual awakening, and spiritual hunger is key.

The Word of God
Our lives are to be planted in the Word of God, because any other foundation that we would attempt to plant our lives on is unstable and faulty. Pastor Banning explains the importance of being disciples that study scripture and practice the Word of God in our daily lives. We cannot afford to have a casual, inconsistent relationship with the Bible.

Freedom: Part 3
Forgiveness is the currency of Christianity. Pastor Becky Johnson unpacks the concept of forgiveness and its direct connection to living a life of freedom in Christ. When we are unwilling to forgive, and we forget that God is the final judge, we keep ourselves in a place of bondage to others and sin.
Feb 04, 2025
Freedom
Sometimes we forget that no sin or circumstance is bigger than the cross. Jesus set us free from sin and our past. Pastor Paul Geerling, Senior Pastor of iSEE CHURCH in Australia, reminds us that when we have a revelation on the inside of the freedom God gave us, it changes how we live on the outside.
