Generations Church

Welcome back to the Generations Church Podcast. Today we wrap up our series through the book of Philippians. Over the past few weeks, Paul has reminded us that God is in control, called us to live with humility like Jesus, and challenged us to treasure Christ above everything else.

And now in Philippians 4, Paul brings these themes together in one of the most practical and encouraging chapters in the New Testament. He gives us real...

Today, we step into Philippians chapter 3, where the Apostle Paul challenges us to reconsider what really matters. He teaches us that true righteousness, true joy, and true purpose aren’t found in our achievements, our performance, or anything we can boast about — but in knowing Christ, sharing in His sufferings, and pressing toward the eternal prize that awaits us.

If you’ve ever wrestled with letting go of old identities… If you’...

Welcome back to the Generations Church Podcast! We’re so glad you’re tuning in today as we continue our journey through the book of Philippians.

Last week, we looked at chapter one and asked, “What would it look like to live knowing that God is in control?” We discovered that when we truly believe God is sovereign, our attitudes shift, our worries shrink, and our joy isn’t tied to what’s happening around us — but to the One who rei...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast!

What would your life look like if you truly believed that God is in control? Would your attitude change? Would your stress, fear, or worry look different?

Today we’re beginning a new four-week series through the Book of Philippians — a letter written by the Apostle Paul from prison that overflows with joy and confidence in God’s plan.

In this message, we’ll walk through chapter one and dis...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast!

Today we have a special guest speaker joining us while Pastor Jeff is away on his scheduled sabbatical. We’re excited to welcome Greg Anderson, a great friend of Generations Church and the Campus Pastor at Celebration Church in Waterloo. Greg has a genuine heart for people, a passion for God’s Word, and a powerful message to share with us today.

We’re so thankful for his partnership in min...

Welcome back to the Generations Church Podcast!  Over the past few weeks, we’ve been in a series called Hot Mess — and today, we’re wrapping it up with maybe the most honest message yet: “My Faith Is a Hot Mess.”

Let’s be real — sometimes our faith feels a little all over the place. One day we’re ready to storm the gates of hell with a water pistol, and the next day we’re wondering if God even heard our prayers. We say we trust His...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast — where we believe God meets us in the middle of our mess.

We’re in a powerful series called “Hot Mess,” where we’ve been unpacking what the Bible says about the areas of life that often feel chaotic — our families, our schedules, and today, our work.

Let’s be honest — sometimes our jobs can feel overwhelming, frustrating, or even meaningless. But God’s Word reminds us that our work was nev...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast! We’re so glad you’re here.

Let’s be honest — family life can be a hot mess. We love our families, but sometimes things just don’t go the way we hoped. Arguments happen, mistakes are made, and life can feel chaotic and out of control. But here’s the good news: you’re not alone — and your family isn’t beyond hope.

The Bible doesn’t hide from messy families — in fact, it’s full of them. From ...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast! We’re so glad you’re joining us today for a special Back to Church Sunday message. At Generations, we believe life is better when we walk it out in faith together. God never designed us to go it alone—He created us for community, connection, and Christ-centered relationships. In today’s message, Better Together, we’ll discover how gathering in Jesus’ name changes everything, and why His pr...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast!

You were created by God for something significant—something eternal that truly matters. But maybe you’ve wondered, What exactly am I called to do? What if I miss it? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that our calling isn’t first about what we do, but about who we are becoming in Christ.

Through Ephesians 4:1, we’ll discover that every follower of Jesus is uniquely chosen, set apar...

Welcome back to the Generations Church podcast! We’re so glad you’re joining us today.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparison—especially with social media? One moment you’re enjoying life, and the next you’re scrolling, wondering why their house looks nicer, why their kids seem more successful, or why their ministry seems to be growing faster than yours. Before you know it, your joy has been stolen...

So many of us live frustrated because we don’t understand our purpose. We ask questions like: What’s the point? Why bother? Why do I keep trying when it doesn’t seem to matter? But Scripture reminds us that our lives are not without meaning. In Acts 13:36, Luke writes that David served God’s purpose in his own generation. That’s what we were created for—not to chase our own plans, but to serve God’s purpose right where He has place...

Have you ever found yourself asking, “What’s the point?” Maybe it’s in your marriage, your finances, your health, or even in your faith. You’ve tried to do what’s right, but it feels like nothing changes. You’re exhausted. You wonder, “God, where are You in this? What’s the purpose of all this pain?”

Here’s the truth: people don’t actually hate pain—what we really hate is pain without a purpose. Because the reality is, when there’s...

Welcome to the Generations Church podcast! Over the past four weeks in our series Chameleon, we’ve been learning how to fight the pull to blend into the culture around us and instead live boldly for Christ.

We’ve discovered that we are called to live set apart, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and rooted in our God-given purpose.

Today, as we wrap up the series, Pastor Jeff takes us to Ephesians 5, where Paul calls us to “be imitators...

We’re in Week 3 of our series Chameleon, where we’ve been talking about what it means to live set apart in a world that constantly pressures us to blend in. In today’s message, "Live Different," we dive into Ephesians 4 and discover that God has called us to a life of purpose—and He’s given us everything we need to walk it out.

You’ll hear a powerful challenge to be rooted in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and faithful in us...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast!

We’re in Week 2 of our message series Chameleon—a powerful call to stop blending in with the world and start standing out for Christ.

Last week, we unpacked Romans 12:1–2 and discovered that true transformation begins with surrender. This week, we dive into 1 Peter and are reminded that you have been chosen by God—not to conform, but to be holy, to be obedient, and to live set apart for H...

Welcome back to the Generations Church Podcast! Today, we’re kicking off a brand new series called Chameleon, where we’ll explore how followers of Jesus are called to stand out, not blend in.

In our culture, it’s easy to adapt, shift, and camouflage ourselves to fit in with the world around us. But Romans 12:1-2 calls us to something different—to present our lives as a living sacrifice, to resist conforming to the patterns of this ...

Welcome to the Generations Church Podcast! Over the past five weeks in our Made For Mission series, we’ve discovered that every follower of Jesus is called to live on mission, sharing the message, Be reconciled to God, with a world that God loves.

We’ve talked about why we share the gospel, how to share it, and who we’re praying for. But today is where it gets real. Today we ask: Will you accept God’s mission for your life?

In toda...
