Generation Church South Oceanside

We're excited to continue our series in the book of Acts on Sunday. What a gift to experience the unstoppable power of the gospel as we continue to unpack chapter five. Generation church is a family and each of you is a part of it. We love seeing you and having YOU there with us.

At Generation Church we love good news. Do you love good news? What's the best news you've ever received? When was it? What Happened? The Gospel is called "The good news"...have you ever wondered why? We feel that it's not just good news but the BEST news ever!

This week we look at the story of Ananias and Sapphira, a stark contrast to the story of Barnabas. This is one of the more bizarre stories in the new testament and it brings up many questions. Some of which are hard to answer. So what do we do when we read scripture and have a lot of questions and confusion, or even frustration? We look forward to seeing you on Sunday as we learn how to accurately...

The gospel is the radical news of what God has done. But what does that entail? What has he done, and what if it was better than we ever imagined? This Sunday we’re exploring the radical news of what God has not only done for us, but also to us and what he wants to do through us. AMEN! 

Tim and Matt discuss a question that came up in the sermon last week... "Should Christians tithe?"  It's a deeper dive into the area of generosity we covered this past Sunday and hopefully clears the air on a broader topic of Christians observing old testament law.  

This week we continue our series in Acts finishing up chapter 4 where the church explodes in boldness and in radical generosity.  The display of generosity in this chapter is head turning.  We're also introduced for the first time to a prominent role player in the early church, Barnabas.  What was the cause of the radical generosity on display in the early church?  What does this have to do w...

We're continuing our series in Acts chapter 4 with a message titled, "The Spirit of Boldness". Peter and John are dragged into the courtroom, where they fear for their life, face opposition and the church has the opportunity to throw in the towel. So how do they respond? What power do they draw on when confronting this type of opposition? How might God want to speak to us today thro...

This Sunday we kicked off our intermittent series "This is Us" where we highlight some of what Jesus has done and is doing through members our church family.  Peter and Dara Desoto moved their whole family to El Salvador to pursue what God was calling them to... but the story took a dramatic turn... and led to the publishing of the book "Shot."   "This is Us" series w...

This Sunday we're continuing our study through the book of Acts.  Tim will be teaching through Chapter 3 in a message titled "Pointing To Jesus," where we see the first miraculous physical healing in the early church.  In this chapter the crowd sees a miracle, hears a message, and then is pointed to a messiah behind it all.  This is a loaded chunk of scripture that teaches us so muc...

Tim teaches through the final chunk of Acts, Chapter 2.  Peter has just spoken to a crowd of confused onlookers, which results in over 3,000 people surrendering their lives to Jesus.  So what do all these people do next?  What does the first church recorded in the Bible look like?  How did they know what to do?  Why does the church generally look so much different today than it did in the first ce...

Tim continues our series in Acts. A few weeks ago, we ended with "are these people drunk?"  Peter addresses the crowd with powerful and challenging words that “pierce their hearts.” How can words pierce a heart? Is that good? Bad?  What are Gospel Words and what do they do?  We’re excited for a powerful time in God's word together looking at all this and more.

Our friends and global partners Sasha & Sara Pascal joined us to share about their work in Chisinau, Moldova.  https://www.missiondispatch.org/sasha-sara-pascal-moldova

Pastor Matt Carlson shares a message from Psalm 84...  What are the blessings of being close to God?  What does it require to be close to God?  

Guest teacher - Pastor Eddie Zellars brings an encouraging word from Acts 2.  Come Holy Spirit!

Tim is continuing our series in Acts "Jesus IN Us" picking up in the legendary section of chapter 2.  This is the long awaited promise of the coming of the Holy Spirit being fulfilled.  What does the Holy Spirit do when He fills the people of the early church?  What does that mean for us today?  Why do people think the early church was drunk?  Did San Diego State have a Fraternity House...

This Sunday Tim continues our new series in the book of Acts. In this next part of chapter one we see the family of God, aka the fledgling church, start to take form. What are the first cultural norms within the church that we begin to see? How might those encourage, challenge or inform us today?  It’s also Father's Day so what might Dads take note of in these verses?

Our church planting resident Pastor Omar Loza shares about his life and calling to plant a Spanish speaking church in Oceanside as well as a  look at Acts chapter 17 which is establishing a biblical basis for cross-cultural missions within the US.   We're so blessed to have the Loza family with us in this season and we're honored to be supporting their work.

This is the first message in our new series (Acts). Pastor Tim Parlier is preaching.

The world around us is experiencing so much division and brokenness. If we’re honest, even the world inside us, and in our families is experiencing division and brokenness. What is Jesus’ heart for these things? What is His heart for us?  How can we practically move forward in greater health as we engage the constant conflicts in life?  Tim will be sharing a message called “A Heart For Unity” this...

How do we find life?  What is that itch for more that we just can't seem to scratch no matter how much success we have, fun we experience, or adventures we take?  Why do we often find ourselves anxious and unfulfilled?  Does the scripture give us any insight in to this tragic strain of the human existence? Pastor Tim takes the opportunity between our series in Luke and our upcoming series in...

This is the final Sunday in our series “Jesus With Us”. We are finishing our study in the gospel of Luke.

We’ll be looking at all of this and more as we dive in together! Come join us! Invite a friend who needs some encouragement!

How do you truly know something?  How do you truly know God?  What are Jesus' first words to His disciples after resurrecting?  All of these get answered in today's message... Pastor Tim Parlier teaches through our 2nd to last week in the "Jesus with Us" series...from Luke 24 when Jesus encounters His disciples on the road to Emmaus.
