Welcome to Generation Church!Hopelessness is a powerful feeling. It's one of the most agonizing places to be mentally and yet it's shocking how often we can wrestle with some level of hopelessness in our lives. Sometimes it's hopelessness around our health, sometimes relationships, sometimes finances, sometimes all of the above and then some. Many people drown in the feeling of hopelessness... can't see a way out, can't see a way forward, can't see anything good coming. If you've ever felt that way this is the message for you. We are diving into Psalm 77 that tackles hopelessness head on. The message is titled "Overcoming Hopelessness" and Psalm 77 gives us just that... a way to overcome! We hope you can join us for this huge dose of encouragement coming! Share this with a friend who is struggling as well. God is going to deposit hope in a mighty way!+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

Welcome to Generation Church!Have you ever looked at someone in your life and thought... "it's just not fair!" Maybe they are in better health, have more money, or just seem to be succeeding in life even though they're dishonest? It's easy to fall into the trap of envy. It's even easy to fall into a cycle of self pity. How do you snap out of those moments?As we dive into Psalm 73 we see almost this exact situation... the Psalmist is crying out to God..."Why do wicked people seem to prosper and my life is so hard!?" There is so much to learn from this raw & honest psalm. Most importantly, we can learn what we need to free our souls from bitterness and envy.We hope you can join us as we take one more massive step toward greater health in our relationship with Jesus and each other!+ + + + +You can find more from us at https://www.gotogeneration.comAnd get the latest from Generation in your inbox with the Midweek Musing, our free weekly email: https://subscribepage.io/UOAh3oFollow us on Social!▶ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/southochurch▶ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/generationchurchsoutho/
Welcome to Generation Church!Living in a beautiful yet broken world means we will experience a whole spectrum of emotions, including despair and depression. It can be spiritually debilitating. What are we to do in these moments? How are we to respond? Is there hope? Thankfully, we're not alone in this. In fact, the authors of Psalms have been there, done that...and wrote extremely honest songs about it all that we can glean from. If you've ever felt spiritually in the dumps, there is good news for you! Come join in as we explore the causes and cure of spiritual depression in Psalm 42.
Psalm 23 is possibly the most popular chapter in the entire Bible. It's known by many people in the secular world and across the religious landscape. Charles Spurgeon called it "The Pearl of the Psalms." What is it about these verses that strikes such a deep chord within humanity? Why is there anything positive about referring to yourself as a sheep? Why have so many people found incredible comfort and healing through these verses? Jump into this episode and find out!

The Psalms are the "prayerbook" or "songbook" of the Bible and this Sunday we start off looking deeply at Psalm 1... shocker right? Psalm 1 & 2 are unique to the other 148 Psalms... in many ways Psalm 1 serves as a lens with which we can approach the rest of the Psalter. Specifically, Psalm 1 lays out the Way to a Blessed Life or the type of person who lives a blessed life. I like that sound of that! Blessed Life? Who doesn't want that? How do we get that? Or how do we get more of a blessed life? The Psalmist shows us there is a way to the blessed life and we are excited to unpack that with you!
In any sport or activity the first thing you learn are the "fundamentals." They're the most basic elements of success... the building blocks so to speak for growth. Fundamentals in learning can be reading and writing; in sports they can be blocking, tackling, dribbling, passing, catching... the list goes on and on. Here's the thing though, no matter how proficient you become at a thing, you never outgrow the fundamentals. In fact, if you forget or don't execute fundamentals even as a "professional" (e.g. Philadelphia Eagles defense not tackling) you fail! So what is the fundamental building block of the Christian? What is the thing we need to repeat over and over again? This is our topic this Sunday as we dig into Jesus' words from the Gospel of Luke.  We hope you join us!
There's a lot of talk in the church about living the Christian life. It seems like we're constantly being told how to live for God. And it seems like the holy thing to do, right? Well, what if God isn't actually asking you to live for Him? What if He never intended for you to live the Christian life? What if this whole thing we call "the Christian life" is much different (and better) then we ever realized? We believe it is! Join us as we dive into John 15 and discover why.
Friendship is such a beautiful gift. But sadly, it's a gift fewer and fewer are experiencing. Research is showing the majority of US Adults are struggling to find, keep, or maintain close friendships. This has resulted in what some are calling "A Crisis of Friendship" in America leading to increased rates of loneliness and isolation. What can we do to change these tragic trends? How can scripture help us in the midst of increasingly lonely times? How can we find lasting and close friendships? How can we be an agent of hospitality in an increasingly lonely world? Jesus has much to say to us about all of this! Come join us as we dive into His Good News about Friendship!

Welcome to Christmas Eve at Generation 2023!This time of year, especially around church culture we're hearing the stories surrounding the birth of Christ.  They are amazing stories of fear, trust, hope, genocide, escape, worship, etc.  There is no shortage of inspiration to draw from the stories of Christmas.  The stories of Christmas tell us what happened but they don't necessarily tell us what Christmas IS.  What is Christmas?  Is it a Holiday?  A Holy Day?  A myth?  A true story?  Sometimes knowing what Christmas ISN'T is just as important as knowing what Christmas IS!  So come join us Sunday for a little contrasting... we'll be looking at what Christmas ISN'T... so that we can know what it IS.  And here's a hint... it's not a tradition... it's not advice... it's not information... oh no, it's SO MUCH MORE!  + + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

Christmas is a unique time of year where you almost can't help but reflect on the past. Past Christmases, past memories, past hurts, and past joys. It's a reflective time of year to say the least. In our reflection we quickly discover...what you reflect on has an incredibly powerful shaping effect on your life. Many people ruminate on past events, obsess over things causing them stress, even replaying arguments over and over in their minds. Doing this produces anxiety, worry, anger, etc. But God instructs His people from cover to cover of the Bible to set their minds on what He has done. And in doing so, His grace from the past casts a new and hopeful lens over our present and future. What will we choose to reflect on this Christmas? What will we choose to reflect on in daily life? How will that impact us?

Christmas has a way of magnifying the brokenness in our lives. In many ways it reveals our desperation and exposes our need for rescue. But praise God, Christmas also announces that God has made His way down into the mess to fix the brokenness. How exactly does He do that? How is the birth of a baby some 2000 years ago good news for me today, in real life?

This week's message is titled "Messy Christmas." Although Christmas is filled with finely manicured shops, living rooms, and dinner tables... it's also filled with people with not-so-finely manicured thoughts, relationships, and emotions. On the outside, Christmas season brings us so much beauty yet on the inside it can bring so much ugliness... you stir those together and you have a Messy Christmas. So how does Jesus have anything to do with that? Way more than you might think. + + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

We each get 168 hours to live in a week. Outside of sleep, work is the biggest single bucket our time gets put into. For most adults, work is the place we invest the biggest portion of our waking hours. Is that good? Is that bad? Is work in the way of getting to more important things? Work for many of us is a source of pain and frustration. Is there something else we should be doing with that time? Or is it possible God may want to show us a better way to approach work? We believe the Gospel reframes all of life, and we say all of life we mean work too! Come this Sunday for a message titled "Reframing Work" as we dig into how the Gospel reframes the work we do and the people we do it with. + + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

The story of the bible tells us that God created everything and all of His creation was good (including humanity). But through humanity's rebellion against His rule & reign, creation was broken (which includes us too). Since sin entered the world, everywhere we look we see the brokeness and we instinctively know "this is not how things should be." And yet God didn't ignore the problems, Jesus came into our brokenness to bring salvation, forgiveness, healing and restoration. He came to not just fix creation but to bring "New Creation" life to us by the Holy Spirit within us. Old creation relationships were dominated by control, blame, shame, and escape. But new creation relationships look totally different. These relationships are empowered by Jesus and look like Jesus' service, honor, love, and deep connection. How might New Creation life look in your life, in your family, in your relationships? That's our study this week in Colossians 3.+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

The New Testament is filled with commands on how to live. But long before any commands are given, good news of who we are is declared, and it's important we know that. There are two very distinctly different ways to live: you can either live your life trying to become someone you're not, or you can live your life expressing who you already believe yourself to be. Huge difference. The gospel invites us to the latter. It's time to give up the ruse of trying to become and begin living from the truth of who we are in Christ. Join us as we continue to discover the radical implications of the gospel in our study through Colossians.+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

The term "religion" can mean many things to many people. Some people are "religious" about never missing a workout. Some people "religiously" watch their favorite sports team. Some people are adherents to "DON'T" religions i.e. don't do this... don't do that. Some people are adherents to "DO" religious i.e. do more of this... do more of that. Some people are a combination of all of the above, but all humans seem to be "religious" in some way whether they think they are or not.As we continue our look at the letter to the Colossian Church we see Paul make an emphatic case that... religion (however you define it) doesn't work. That sounds like a shocking statement coming from a man like Paul but he knew better than anyone that religion can't change a person. Paul knew true change doesn't happen outside-in... it can only happen inside-out. Religious behavior modification may seem to "work" but God isn't just about new behaviors, He is about new hearts that produce new behaviors. So what does "work"? How do people get "new hearts"? How can we avoid the trappings of religion and enter into the blessings of the Gospel? That is our focus for this Sunday as we finish out chapter 2.

Do you want to know what the deepest secret of the Bible is? This Sunday we are unlocking the secret mysteries of the ancient Scriptures. We'll be talking about all the things your youth pastor forgot to tell you at summer camp growing up. We'll be talking about what the Bible is really all about... the deep secrets that people have been hiding from you your entire life. We are unlocking mysteries together this week... or... is everything you just read simply "click bait" language that is intended to make you feel anxious and stir your insecurities about being on the "outside"? Come join us and find out! As we continue our sermon series in Colossians, Paul explicitly tells the church of Colossae "this is the secret" of all scripture.
