Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

Pastor Banning reminds us that prayer isn’t just a discipline; it’s an invitation to access God and His resources at any moment. Prayer should become our default posture, not our last resort, because God really does respond to His people.

God’s original design was daily fellowship with humanity. Pastor Banning reminds us how Jesus restores that relationship and how prayer and fasting refocus our hearts to walk with God and hear His voice.

In this message, Pastor Becky Johnson teaches on prayer and fasting as a life-giving invitation, not a religious obligation. Jesus reframed fasting by modeling a way of life marked by communion with the Father, simple obedience, and sincere devotion. As we develop a lifestyle of talking with God through prayer and fasting, we create space for Him to do much with what we offer.

Our God is a promise maker and a promise keeper, even when His promises don’t unfold the way we expect. Pastor Michael Brodeur shares how to recognize and overcome the “vultures” that try to steal God’s promises during seasons of waiting and testing. God is faithful, and every promise is yes and amen in Jesus.

In a world filled with confusion, Joel Muddamalle, Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, calls us back to the authority of Scripture as our source of clarity and stability. When God’s Word becomes our foundation, it grounds our hope and helps us truly know Jesus on His terms.
