    "Prove It" | Mark 15:1-20 | Tim Parlier

    How do you really know someone loves you? Not just by what they say but by what they’re willing to endure for you. In Mark 15, we see Jesus, the true King, mocked, beaten, and condemned. He could have stopped it, but He didn’t. Why? Because talk is cheap, and love proves itself through sacrifice. If you’ve ever wondered whether God actually cares about you...if your pain, shame, or fear has made you question His heart...this story gives the answer. The King who wore a crown of thorns took on the curse meant for us so we could wear the crown of His grace. Come and see the King who doesn’t just say He loves you. He shows up, suffers, and proves it. FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION: When was a time when someone showed up for you in a way that made you feel safe, supported, or loved?  How does Jesus’ willingness to endure suffering tell you about His love & His character?  If you were face to face with Jesus right now what would you want to say to Him about what He has done for you?  (Turn this into a prayer) How might the sufferings of Jesus help you face suffering in your life or the lives around you? Is there anyone in your life right now that needs not just words, but love in action from you? How could you do that this week? + + + + + Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL 🔔 (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

    "Faithful to the Faithless" | Mark 14:66-72 | Tim Parlier

    Have you ever said, “I can’t believe I just did that”? Maybe you crossed a line you thought you’d never cross...betrayed someone you love, spoke words you can’t take back, or failed God in a way that still makes you wince. In this week’s message from Mark 14, we look at Peter’s gut-wrenching denial of Jesus, and the moment he finally saw himself as he truly was: weak, broken, and unfaithful. But Peter’s story doesn’t end in shame. It ends with Jesus meeting him again, not in anger, but in grace. In this message, we’ll explore: The reality of human weakness, The danger of overconfidence, and The power for real change. You’ll discover that Jesus isn’t surprised by your failures and that He’s already gone ahead of you to meet you in them. The Gospel truth is this: when we are faithless, He remains faithful. If you’ve ever said, “I never thought I was capable of that,” this message is for you. FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION: What is the main thing you took away from these verses and message? Peter said he’d never deny Jesus but he did.  Where have you said “I’ll never” but did (to God, others, etc.)?  (No shame only honesty) Have you ever had a “rooster crow” moment where God woke you up to something?  Or had His words flash across your mind? How does the reality “Jesus has loves you at your worst” bring comfort and/or encouragement to you? Who in your life needs to know about Jesus’ faithfulness to faithless people?  Spend time praying for this person and for an opportunity to share. + + + + + Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL 🔔 (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

    "Disruptive Truth" | Mark 14:53-65 | Tim Parlier

    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 & REFLECTION: Jesus declared “I AM” (claiming divinity) knowing it would cost Him His life. What does that teach us about Jesus? When was the last time you were confronted or disrupted by something in the bible? How did you respond? Is there anything in your life you’re self-justifying even though you know it’s sin or antithetical to God’s purposes for you? In what ways have you seen biblical truth misrepresented today? How might you lovingly clarify or stand for truth in your relationships or community? Despite being unjustly accused, beaten, and crucified, Jesus forgave His enemies.  He even remains faithful to us when we lack faith. How does His grace comfort you today? How can His grace to us be extended to even those who try and discredit us? + + + + + Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL 🔔 (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

    “When You Fail (And You Will)” | Mark 14:27-42 | Matt Carlson

    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, tend to put confidence in our own strength or spiritual performance? What does it look like to let your failure become a “portal of grace” instead of a source of shame? Jesus didn’t hide his distress in Gethsemane. How might honesty about your weakness actually deepen your dependence and connection with God and others? Where in your life are you living before the “but” and letting feelings or circumstances have the final word? What would it look like for us to help each other “stay awake” to live aware of His strength in us instead of running on self-effort? + + + + + 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 First Supper" | Mark 14:12-26 | Tim Parlier

    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?” this sermon is for you. You’ll see how: Jesus had a PLAN (even when it didn’t make sense to others) That plan was PROPHESIED long before it unfolded And that plan had a PURPOSE—your redemption This is not the story of a failed messiah. This is the story of a victorious Savior who drank the cup of suffering, so we could drink the cup of salvation. Tune in and discover how the First Supper reshapes our view of suffering, trust, and the hope that’s still to come. For Reflection & Discussion: 1.    In Mark 14:13-16 Jesus sends His disciples on a bit of a treasure hunt... only to find things EXACTLY as Jesus had said. How does Jesus' detailed planning encourage you to trust Him in your daily life? 2.    Jesus' betrayal and death were foretold centuries earlier. How does seeing God's promises fulfilled in Scripture strengthen your faith in the Bible? 3.    Jesus willingly and purposefully endured the horrors of the cross to redeem and save. What does this tell us about His character? 4.    The Passover was & is a joyful remembrance of God's salvation from Egypt. How might we recover a spirit of celebration (not just somber reflection) when we take communion today? 5.    Jesus refused the final cup, pointing forward to the great banquet we will experience when God ushers in His heavenly eternal Kingdom. How does this promise of future joy help you persevere through present struggles? + + + + + Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL 🔔 (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').

    "Givers & Takers" | Mark 14:1-11 | Tim Parlier

    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? Whether it's your relationships, your future, your sexuality, your money, or your pain… Jesus doesn’t ask you to clean it up. He asks you to lay it down. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to follow Jesus, and why it often feels like losing, you’ll find both comfort and challenge here. Because in the Kingdom of God, giving up your life is how you find it. When you trust the Giver, surrender becomes freedom not loss. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: For Reflection & Discussion: 1. In what areas of your life do you most naturally live as a giver? What area of your life are you tempted to live more like a taker? 2. What led Mary to give such a precious & costly gift to Jesus? 3. The sermon reminded us that the deeper reason we resist giving is often lack of trust. What part of your life is hardest to trust God with right now? Why? 4. Mary's deed of giving pointed forward to Jesus' ultimate giving-His life and blood poured out for us. How does remembering His generosity change the way we approach giving & surrender? 5. What's 1 thing you feel God is leading you to do in response this week? + + + + + 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 End Is Near" | Mark 13 | Tim Parlier

    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 also gave them, and us, two clear instructions: Don’t worry. Don’t grow weary. This message meets us in our fear, frustration, and fatigue...and offers something better: trust in a King who sees all, knows all, and holds the future. He hasn’t promised ease, but He has promised His presence, His power, and a purpose in the middle of the chaos. If you’re feeling shaken by the world around you, this sermon is for you. 📖 Mark 13 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: What do I tend to place my confidence in (like the Temple) may seem impressive now but might ultimately prove irrelevant? How might Jesus want to re-shape that? How does Jesus’ accurate prophecy about the Temple’s destruction encourage my trust in His words about my future? When life feels chaotic or uncertain, what does it practically look like for me to “not worry” because God is in control? Jesus said persecution and hardship would bring opportunities to testify. Where might God be calling me to use my challenges as opportunities to share the Good News? “Don’t grow weary” — Where have you been tempted to give up but you know you shouldn’t?  What do you sense Jesus is saying or would say to you about that? + + + + + Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL 🔔 (on mobile devices, also click 'ALL').
