Jesus Culture San Diego Message of the Week

Pastor Banning teaches that God is inviting us into partnership with His heart, believing for salvations not only among those we know but also those we don't. As we allow our hearts to be moved by what moves Him, we step into true compassion, a deep, gut-wrenching response that leads us to prayer and action. Every move of God in history has come through people who carried what was on His heart, and He is still inviting us to do the same.

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Zack Curry shared a powerful message from 1 Corinthians 11–12 about honoring the Holy Spirit through unity, humility, and reverence. He reminded us that spiritual gifts and communion were never meant to elevate ourselves, but to strengthen the body of Christ and point people to Jesus. The message was an invitation to hunger for more of God while living in love and unity with one another.

Pastor Corey Russell brought a powerful message on the fresh filling of the Holy Spirit and the invitation to hunger for more of God.

As a church family, we were encouraged to pursue deeper intimacy with Jesus and boldly carry His presence into our everyday lives.

Deborah Giles shared a powerful message on fighting hopelessness and trusting that the seeds we've sown in faith are still growing, even when we can't yet see the harvest.

Pastor Zack taught from 1 Corinthians 7–10, highlighting that our freedom in Christ should be guided by love, not self-interest. Paul reminds us that maturity isn't about what we're allowed to do, but how we live in a way that reflects Jesus and builds others up. Ultimately, everything we do should be filtered through love and aimed at glorifying God.

Pastor Jordan DiMarco led us through 1 Corinthians 3–6, reminding us to move beyond spiritual immaturity and build our lives on the foundation of Jesus. Paul's correction is an invitation to live with unity, humility, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. We're called to value what has eternal significance, not just what looks good in the moment. As God's temple, our lives matter, how we live, love, and walk in holiness reflects His power at work in us.

In this final message of the Romans series, Pastor Zack unpacks Romans 12–16 and the powerful shift from what God has done to how we are called to respond. He teaches that in view of God's mercy, believers are invited to offer their lives as living sacrifices, an act rooted not in fear or obligation, but in love and gratitude for His grace. The gospel doesn't just shape what we believe; it transforms how we live, love others, and navigate everyday relationships. From honoring authority to walking in unity and hope, this message calls the church to live out the reality of the gospel in every area of life.

Jesus Is _________ is a powerful Easter message centered on the truth that Jesus is alive and victorious over sin, death, and the grave.

This sermon invites us to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him personally, recognizing that He is everything we need, every day.

This message walks through Romans 9–12, revealing God's heart for unity and His plan to bring all people into His family through faith in Jesus.

Ultimately, we're called to live lives marked by love, humility, and honor, reflecting God's heart to the world.

In this MOTW Pastor Zack dives into Romans 5–7 as Paul tackles a timeless question: If we're saved by grace, does sin still matter? Through powerful contrasts between Adam and Christ, Paul reminds us that grace isn't permission to sin, it's power over sin. We don't fight for victory; we fight from a place of victory in Jesus. This message calls us to stop striving for self-justification and instead surrender fully to the finished work of the cross.

Paul confronts the church's tendency to judge others while excusing ourselves, calling us back to humility and mercy.

Pastor Zack launched our new series “To All The Saints” by taking us into Romans 1 and back to the foundations of our faith. Paul's bold declaration, “I am not ashamed of the gospel”, reminds us that the gospel isn't something we improve or add to, but the very power of God to save, transform, and sustain everyone who believes.

In this message, you'll discover what it truly means to follow Jesus through every season, not just the victories, but the surrender and challenges that lead to real transformation. Pastor Zack shares how to walk with God in difficult moments without avoiding them or getting stuck in them.
