We all like to think we love truth, until it disrupts our comfort. In Mark 14, Jesus faces people who twist His words and call truth dangerous. It still happens today. We ignore it, spin it, or fight it when it threatens our control. But the truth isn’t out to destroy us. It’s out to save us. In this message, discover how Jesus, the “I AM,” stands firm in the face of lies, offers forgiveness to those who reject Him, and invites us to let His truth set us free. FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REF...

We all want to be strong. To show up when it matters and be the kind of person Jesus can count on. But what happens when your strength runs out? When your resolve cracks and your best intentions collapse? In this message from Mark 14:27–42, we look at the night Jesus’ closest friends failed Him and discover the beauty of a Savior who never fails us. Strength isn’t found in trying harder. It’s found in trusting the One who lives in us. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: What are some ways we, like Peter...
In a world where control feels like an illusion and suffering seems senseless, is it possible that God still has a plan even in the chaos? In this powerful message from Mark 14, we step into the Upper Room and discover that the cross was not a tragic accident, but the fulfillment of a sovereign plan written across the pages of Scripture. Jesus wasn’t overtaken by events. He orchestrated them. Down to the smallest detail. If you've ever wondered, “Can I trust God when nothing makes sense?” t...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ 📖 Mark 14:1-11 Have you ever felt like you’re holding on for dear life...your plans, your comfort, your identity...afraid that if you let go, you’ll lose everything? In this message from Mark 14, we meet two people who were both close to Jesus…but only one truly knew Him. Mary gave up what was most precious to her. Judas held on...and lost his soul. This sermon speaks to the deep struggle we all face: Can I really trust God enough to surrender what I’m clinging to...
Are we living in the end times? With global unrest, personal hardship, and constant uncertainty, it’s easy to feel anxious or overwhelmed. But what if Jesus’ words about “the end” aren’t meant to stir fear, but to give us courage and clarity? In this episode, we look at Jesus’ prophetic words in Mark 13, not as a cryptic code to crack, but as a Good Shepherd preparing His people for hard days ahead. As He warned His disciples about the fall of the Temple and the trials they would face, Jesus...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ 📖 Mark 12:35-44 Are you tired of pretending? Exhausted from trying to look like you have it all together spiritually? In this message, we confront the difference between surface-level religion and a real, life-giving relationship with Jesus. Through a bold question, a harsh warning, and an unlikely hero, Jesus shows us what authentic faith really looks like and exposes the fakes we often fall for. If your version of Jesus feels small, distant, or powerless...mayb...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ 📖 Mark 12:28-34 What truly defines success in life and faith? In this sermon from Mark 12:28–34, we explore Jesus’ profound answer: Love. Through the lens of a powerful modern story and timeless scripture, we examine the Priority, Pain, and Power of love...not as a feeling, but as a sacrificial, action-oriented choice. Discover how God’s unfailing love fuels our ability to love Him and others, and why love is the only measure that truly matters in God’s Kingdom. D...
What if the biggest threat to your life wasn’t physical—but spiritual? This message from 1 Peter 5:6–11 is a wake-up call to the reality of spiritual warfare. The enemy is real, active, and deceptive—but not unstoppable. Discover the truth about the battle for your mind, your relationships, and your purpose—and learn how to stand firm in the authority and freedom Jesus gives. Be alert. Fight back. Walk in victory. This one matters. 📖 1 Peter 5:1-11 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Has the...
What traps are shaping your life without you even realizing it? In this powerful message from Mark 12, we watch Jesus face off against political and religious elites trying to trap Him with tricky questions...and instead, He exposes their flawed thinking and points to something far greater: the eternal. From political polarization to fear of death, from chasing approval to being stuck in past mistakes—we all face mental and spiritual traps. But the gospel offers us something better: a new pe...
Before you build high, you’ve got to go deep. Just like towering buildings needed deep pillars to stand strong on unstable ground, the Church—God’s people—needs a strong foundation to carry the weight, last through the years, and withstand the storms of life. This week, we're exploring the pillars of Generation: Gospel, Family and Mission. The Gospel is not about what we’ve done, but what Jesus has done for us. How He loved us before the world began, rescued us while we were dead in sin, an...
Why is it so hard to admit when we’re wrong? In this message from Mark 11–12, we explore Jesus' confrontation with religious leaders who refused to repent, despite every warning, story, and sign pointing them back to God. Like Ebenezer Scrooge, we all face a choice: ignore the truth or humbly confess, “I was wrong.” But confession isn't weakness. Rather, it's the first step to freedom, healing, and life built on the true Cornerstone. This message challenges us to find the courage to: 1. Los...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ In this powerful message from Mark 10, we meet Bartimaeus, the blind beggar who truly sees. Through his story, we discover the Profile of a Disciple: one who recognizes Jesus as King, fights through discouragement, experiences the fullness of Christ, and commits fully to following Him. Jump in as Tim unpacks not only what makes a great athlete, but what defines a true follower of Jesus. Don’t miss this invitation to reflect, respond, and follow the King who still as...
Have you ever been drawn in by something that looked amazing, only to be let down when you got close? That’s exactly what Jesus walks into in Mark 11. A fig tree that promised fruit but had none. A temple that promised God’s presence but had been hijacked by religious performance. In this message, we see Jesus confront fake appearances, empty religion, and the systems that keep people from truly knowing God. He isn’t interested in leafy looks without fruit or hollow rituals without heart. J...

Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ What does it truly mean to be great? In a culture that idolizes fame, power, and personal achievement, Jesus offers a radically different definition: “Whoever wants to be great must be your servant.” In this message, we explore Mark 10 and Jesus’ call to humility, unpacking the confusion surrounding greatness and how pride often cheats us of what God has for us. Through the disciples’ misunderstanding, the example of Christ, and real-life reflections, we confront ou...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ In this message, Peter DeSoto unpacks one of Jesus’ shortest yet most impactful parables.

Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ What does it really cost to follow Jesus? In Mark 10, a wealthy young man asks one of life’s most important questions: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus’ answer cuts deeper than commandments. He reveals the condition of the heart. In this message, we explore what it means to trust fully, to confess humbly, and to believe, despite the cost, that following Jesus will be worth it. Whether you’ve built your life around success, security, or stuff… this pa...
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎ Hell. It’s one of the most uncomfortable, often rejected teachings in the Bible, yet Jesus spoke of it more than anyone else. Why? This message confronts the hard truths found in Jesus’ words about judgment, warning, and the eternal consequences of a life lived apart from God. But it does so with an unexpected twist: showing how even the doctrine of hell can lead us to deeper self-awareness, peace, and a clearer picture of God’s love. Through the story of the rich ...
