Generation Church South Oceanside Tim Parlier

We’ve all had those days where we just want to throw in the towel and give up. Perhaps you’re in one of those seasons now. While life in a broken world seems to consistently present challenges and setbacks, thankfully we’re not stranded or left alone. Through the gospel and the empowering presence of the Spirit of God in us, we possess grace-enabled grit to face the hardship and adversity of this life with joy and strength. Join us Sunday as we continue our journey in Acts 14 and load up on some “gospel grit!”

This week we continue our study through Acts 13!
Have you ever wished or prayed that people in your life, family/friends would come to know Jesus? Have you ever struggled with how to be a part of that? Have you ever gone back and forth about what the right way to go about sharing with them would be? Have you ever thought about what we can do to be prepared to share when we have the opportunity? 

This week's message is titled “Prepared to Share”. We will look at Paul’s address to the synagogue and crowds of Antioch Pisidoa where we will see three helpful ways to build bridges with the culture/people around us while 
also effectively pointing to Jesus.

The book of Acts has repeatedly demonstrated this powerful truth: 
God’s plan is unstoppable.
It is in the midst of opposition that we get to see just how powerful and astonishing the gospel is, and that nothing and no one will thwart God’s mission of gospel saturation and the expansion of His Church across the globe.  Join us in Acts 13:1-12 as we see the gospel breaking through the lies and deceit of the enemy and gaining new ground for the Kingdom. 

This week we are blessed to have Dain teach through Acts 13, where the focus is on how God is the one who calls, sends, and empowers. The missionaries are not leaving the church to go out on their own; They have the Holy Spirit! The body of believers (the Church) is the conduit God uses to send the missionaries to the ends of the earth. Join us as we continue to explore how God's mission has a church and God's church has missionaries.

Well… things were going well for a bit with the church and then tragedy struck… James is murdered by a tyrant King Agrippa. And if that wasn’t bad enough… they’ve arrested Peter and it looks like he’s next to be killed. Not the thriving church plan they had hoped for. 
So what happens next?  Will God rescue? Will evil prevail? How is that helpful for me today? Come dive into Acts 12 with us this Sunday and find out.

It's Super Bowl Sunday!  Most people don't realize the sheer absurdity of how low the odds are that anyone would ever be able to play in such a game.  NCAA research states that only 0.08% of all high school football players will even be drafted to the NFL, let alone make it to the Super Bowl!  So if being on a big stage is reserved for statistical elites...what about the rest of us?  What about that yearning inside us to be a part of something significant?  Are we destined to sit on the sidelines while others seem to be doing the "big" and "important" stuff?  Join us as we look at Acts chapter 11 and find out God's response to those questions.
