In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti closes the Money Myths series with a practical and powerful sermon called “Take Your Next Step.”If becoming like Jesus means growing in faith, love, and generosity, then every believer has a next step to take.

Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey, learning to tithe for the first time, or ready to trust God at a greater level, this message will help you identify your next step and take it with faith.Most importantly, this message points to the ultimate step of faith: surrendering your life to Jesus Christ, who gave everything first.
In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti continues the Money Myths series with a transparent and practical teaching on church stewardship and finances.Many people wonder what happens to the money that is given at church. How are tithes and offerings used? How does a church create a budget, manage debt, fund ministry, support missions, and care for people in need? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at how church finances work and why biblical stewardship matters so much.Walking through key Scriptures on stewardship, integrity, budgeting, generosity, savings, legacy, and accountability, this message shows that everything belongs to God and that churches are called to handle His resources with wisdom and faithfulness.You’ll also hear how Generation Church uses general funds and designated funds to support campuses, ministries, staffing, mercy outreach, foster care, food pantry ministry, global missions, and future growth. Most importantly, this message reminds us that faithful stewardship is not just about policies or procedures, it is ultimately measured by kingdom fruit.If you’ve ever asked, “Where does church money go?” or “Can I trust my church leaders with finances?” this message will help answer those questions with biblical clarity and practical insight.
What does the Bible actually teach about generosity, offerings, and money?In this message from the Money Myths series, we explore the difference between tithes, offerings, and alms, and ask the personal question: Am I generous? This sermon unpacks how generosity reflects the heart of God, why offerings are a voluntary act of extravagant worship, and how both a poverty mindset and the prosperity gospel can distort a biblical view of money.You’ll hear powerful testimonies of God’s faithfulness, practical teaching on stewardship, and biblical examples from Moses, David, Solomon, the widow’s offering, and the boy who gave his lunch to Jesus. Above all, this message points us back to Jesus - the ultimate picture of generosity - who gave His life so we could receive eternal life.Whether you are new to church, wrestling with finances, or wanting to grow in faith, this message will challenge you to trust God more deeply and live with open hands.
In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti continues the Money Myths series with a clear and compelling teaching titled “Why I Tithe.” Is tithing just an Old Testament law or is it a timeless act of worship? Walking through Scripture from Genesis to Hebrews, Pastor Ryan explains how tithing predates the Law, connects to Jesus as our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, and remains a powerful declaration of faith for believers today.
In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn’t treat money like a neutral tool. He exposes it as a rival master that competes for your devotion.You’ll learn what Jesus meant by “You cannot serve God and mammon,” why your treasure is tethered to your heart, and how worry reveals a divided soul. God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you’ve been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.
In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti preaches from Mark 4:35–41 and unpacks the powerful moment when Jesus calms the storm. The disciples fear drowning but after Jesus speaks, the storm obeys and their fear shifts from the waves to the fear of the Lord.You will learn the difference between fear that comes from faithlessness and holy fear that leads to wisdom, obedience, and life. If you are in a storm right now physical, financial, relational, or spiritual this sermon will strengthen your faith, remind you of God’s love proven at the cross, and call you to fear the right thing not the storm but the Lord of the storm.
In this timely and biblical message, Pastor Ryan Visconti addresses one of the most debated issues of our moment: immigration - through the lens of Scripture. With both clarity and compassion, he explains how Christians can hold love for the foreigner and respect for law and order in tension - without falling into the world’s false “either/or.”Pastor Ryan walks through key passages in the Old and New Testaments to show:why every human being has dignity as an image-bearer of God,why nations and borders exist by God’s design,why lawlessness produces real consequences,and how the gospel ultimately reframes the immigration conversation spiritually—because we were once “foreigners” to God, but brought near through Jesus.If you’ve felt confused, burdened, or pressured to pick a side, this message will help you think with biblical maturity and respond with truth, wisdom, and mercy.
In this special 12th anniversary message at Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti calls the church to unity, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Reflecting on God’s faithfulness over the past year, this sermon challenges believers to get their house in order personally and corporately by honoring God, equipping believers, and reaching the lost.This message unpacks why the number twelve represents divine order and spiritual foundation in Scripture and how God is inviting His church into a new season of clarity, commitment, and growth. Pastor Ryan speaks directly to those who are all in, half in, or just visiting, offering a clear invitation to go deeper in faith and fully engage in the mission of the local church.Whether you are new to church, returning after time away, or already committed, this message will encourage you to align your life around Jesus and take your next step forward.
Jesus often taught about the Kingdom of God through simple stories with deep meaning. In Mark 4, He shares three powerful parables that reveal how the gospel grows, why deception exists alongside truth, and how God’s Kingdom spreads farther than anyone expects.In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through the Parable of the Growing Seed, the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, showing how God brings spiritual growth even when we cannot see it, why it is not our job to judge hearts, and how small acts of obedience can produce massive Kingdom impact.If you’ve ever felt discouraged because you don’t see immediate results from sharing your faith, confused by fake Christianity, or tempted to despise small beginnings, this message will anchor you in truth and give you hope. The Kingdom of God is growing even when it looks hidden.
Jesus didn’t light a lamp so it could be hidden and He didn’t give us the gospel to keep it private. In this message from Mark 4:21–25, we unpack what Jesus meant by the lamp and the light, why the gospel is an open invitation (not hidden knowledge), and how the measure you bring - your attention, hunger, and willingness to listen—determines the understanding you receive.
What kind of soil is your heart? In this first Sunday message of the year we open Mark chapter 4 and study the Parable of the Sower. Jesus reveals four types of soil that represent how people respond to God’s Word and why only one kind of heart produces real spiritual fruit. This sermon will challenge you to go deeper in discipleship pull the weeds of distraction and live with a Kingdom mindset that produces a 30x 60x and 100x harvest. If you want your faith to last grow and multiply, this message is for you.
What if the reason your faith feels dry or routine is because sacred things have slowly started to feel common?In this message, Pastor Nate Clarke challenges us to rediscover the sacredness of what God has given us — from our salvation to the gathering of the church. Through powerful Scripture, real-life stories, and a sobering moment from King David’s life, we are reminded that when we treat what God calls sacred as ordinary, we miss the fullness of what He wants to do in us.This message will stir your faith, renew your reverence for God’s presence, and help you step into a new year with fresh gratitude, renewed passion, and a deeper appreciation for the church, the gospel, and the work of God in your life.
