Generation Church

Guest speaker, Pastor Nate Clarke, shares with the Generation family, The Test of a Disciple.  We KNOW God allows the enemy to tempt and test us.  Fortunately, we get to peak into the enemy's strategy to cause us to stumble.

How does God want us to grieve?  What does The Bible say about processing sadness?  The Bible is full of examples of people grieving, being saddened their situation, even blaming God for what's happened to them.  And guess what, God's okay with that.  He wants us to process those inevitable situations in life WITH Him.

Have you ever been told you need to "pray more" or "pray better" in order to get what you want from God? There's so much misunderstanding about "praying with persistence." You don't need to pray better. You don't need to pray longer. You just need to understand prayer better. It's not meant to be a burden; it's a benefit. It's not meant to be transactional; it's relational. Prayer is about communi...

Yes. Prayer ALWAYS works. Pastor Ryan teaches us that prayer always works and why that is true. The fact that prayer always works shows how deeply God cares for us, is always there for us, and always hears our prayers to Him.

As we kick off our Prayer series, Pastor Ryan helps us understand that praying to God isn't as hard as we, sometimes, can convince ourselves it is. God is our Father. We can and should talk to Him like we are His kids and He is our Father. The secret to prayer is that it's not a secret. You can pray to Him like He is your Father, because He is.

Happy Easter! Pastor Ryan brings an incredible message of the result of Jesus' resurrection. Don't miss out on these powerful realities of benefits God gives us with the miracle of HIs son's death and resurrection.

A lot of our lives, it can feel like a struggle to get anywhere, like a bird flapping it’s wings tirelessly just to take off. But something different happens when God moves and calls you into His purpose for your life — the wind blows. And the dynamic becomes a lot less like exhausted flapping and more like SOARING on the wings of eagles!

What makes an excellent wife? God created women differently than men with unique attributes, strengths, and characteristics — its part of His perfect design! The world categorizes women into two extreme categories; you're either a girl boss or a hot mess. But God designed you to be a helper!

Have you had an internal drive to succeed in life? We find eternal life and satisfaction when we surrender to the Lord — it’s no suprise that men struggle to reconcile this concept of surrender with their internal drive to succeed. God designed you to work, build, multiply and conquer, and what we see is that God will exalt those who exalt Him.

Every dad wonders at some point  "am I doing a good job?"  Dad's make an impact in our lives unlike anyone else, whether for good or for bad. It can be difficult to know what makes a good dad, but it's actually outline for us in God's Word and modeled perfectly by JESUS.

What does it mean to be a good father? All of us have a father modeled for us in our lives — sometimes they're great, but a lot of times they hurt us. Even the best dad doesn't hold a candle to your Heavenly Father who is the ULTIMATE example of how a father should love His children.

Marriage is a big part of a man's life, and with it comes a lot of new responsibilities. While providing and protecting tend to come natural to us, other things like being gentle and loving can be more difficult. Husbands -- we are called to LOVE our wives like Christ loves His Church.

There are many things that a man is not. The world is full of opinions on how men should act, think, love… but the Bible paints a clear image of what a man IS. The world is trying to get rid of Godly, biblical men, but God says it is GOOD for men to act as they were designed.

The world says men are unnecessary, but God created men uniquely with purpose and called them very good! God designed men in His image; to lead and to rule. It's a struggle to be a man today, but there's never been a time when we've needed them more. The world needs BOLD MEN!

This is the play of the enemy – deception. It’s a cheap payout. You think you’re winning, but in the last moment, you realize it was a hoax, a scheme, and a lie to create a false sense of security. And this seems to be the story for so many of us or formerly from so many of us. We were under deception and then life came up short, came up empty. Ultimately, radical steps of faith are the only thing...

Have you ever been asked a tough question about your faith and been stumped on how to answer it? When you talk about devoting your entire life to Christ, it's natural that someone lost would have some tough questions about your faith in Jesus. We can prepare by equipping ourselves with some uncomplicated answers to complicated questions.

Sharing your faith can be intimidating, but it's one way we help others go ALL IN. When we invite people to church and share our testimony, we help them move one step closer to Jesus. Sometimes you'll plant seeds, and other times you'll be the one to water the seeds someone else planted, but God is the one to make everything GROW. Don't get discouraged -- if you do your part, God will do His!

We are celebrating 8 incredible years of what the Lord has done through Generation Church. God is building His Church and wants you to be a part of it! Jesus loves HIS Church, and He calls you to go all in for YOUR church.

It's natural for us to hold back in life when we're feeling "burnt out" or like we're "running on empty." We get scared that if we don't, we won't have anything left to give, but God wants us to go ALL IN. While holding back feels safe, running on empty requires faith that God will fill us up.

The new year always comes with new resolutions, most of them we'll start and never finish. The same thing can happen with our faith if we're not careful. While it's true that faith in Jesus is what saves us, without living it out practically it's meaningless. We need to constantly train ourselves spiritually to grow and look more like Christ.

Christmas comes with a a lot of celebrations and traditions, and while many of them represent Christmas, the best and most biblical symbol is the light. Whether they're religious or not, people that have lights in or on their homes are representing THE LIGHT of the world -- Jesus Christ!

Bullies come in all shapes and sizes. Wherever you find them, whatever shape they take, they all have the same goal: to control you! We can’t avoid crossing paths with bullies, manipulators, and controlling people but by knowing who you are in Christ, you won’t be vulnerable to manipulation or control. You’re not alone, you don’t have to be afraid, God has your back.

It's just a fact of life: there will be people who get under your skin. If you don't learn to deal with difficult people, you try to avoid them by separating yourself from ALL people. You can't avoid people AND obey Jesus.

Often in life, we find ourselves in a waiting room. Waiting for answers, a spouse, a child, or a financial blessing, but the real question is how are we waiting? Do you have room for God? How we wait for an answer to a promise is crucial - Are you waiting FOR God, or are you waiting ON God?
