Generation Church South Oceanside"Hell Helps" | Mark 9:42-48 + Luke 16:19-31 | Tim ParlierWelcome 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 man and Lazarus, we explore three counterintuitive truths:H...2025-06-2443 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Salty Life" | Mark 9:38-50 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation! ⛪︎In this powerful message, the focus shifts from fear-based interpretations of judgment to Jesus’ deeper call: to live a salty life. Drawing from Mark 9, we see Jesus correct His disciples’ pride and division, urging them—and us—to embody the preserving, enhancing, peace-making qualities of salt. Being “salty” means living humbly, encouraging others, offering everyday acts of love, and taking sin seriously, not out of shame, but in light of our gospel identity. Ultimately, we’re reminded that Jesus, the true Salt of the Earth, took on the judgment we deserved so that we could live empower...2025-06-0938 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Believe & Receive" | Romans 10:5-13 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation! ⛪︎Have you ever felt like you’re not enough—unwanted, stuck, or too broken to be loved? In this powerful message from Romans 10:5–13, Tim Parlier shares his raw story of performance, failure, and finally discovering the life-changing grace of Jesus.The gospel isn’t about trying harder—it’s about receiving the love and forgiveness you could never earn.“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)If you’re tired of performing, come hear the truth: You are wanted. You are loved. You are His....2025-06-0340 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Voice" | Mark 9:1-13 | Tim ParlierOn the mountaintop, Jesus is transfigured before His disciples, and God the Father interrupts their confusion with a clear command: “This is my beloved Son… listen to Him.” In a world full of competing voices, this moment cuts through the noise and reminds us: Jesus alone is the One we must trust and follow. Whether in parenting, friendships, or faith, we often ignore wise counsel, especially from God Himself. But His words are not burdens; they are life. Don't miss the invitation to know and follow the voice of the Good Shepherd.📖 Mark 9:1–13+ + + + +Hey, while...2025-05-0545 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Final Word" | Easter 2025 | Tim ParlierHappy Easter! Welcome to Generation Church! When disappointment screams louder than hope, Easter whispers something deeper, resurrection has the final word.In this message, we walk the road of heartbreak and doubt with the disciples… and discover that Jesus didn’t just rise then, He still resurrects now.If you’ve ever felt like hope is too risky or pain is too loud, this Easter message is for you.+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL (on mobile devices, also cl...2025-04-2236 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Hold On or Give Up" | Mark 8:31-38 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! In Mark 8, Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Peter’s bold confession of Jesus as the Messiah leads to a shocking revelation about what it truly means to follow Him. It's not about asking Jesus to support our kingdom, but about surrendering to His. Are you ready to let go of your own plans and take up your cross? This message challenges us to choose: hold on to our life or give it up to find true life in Christ.Don’t miss this life-changing invitation.+ + + + +...2025-04-0737 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Who Is Jesus?" | Mark 8:27-31 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! In this message, we explore the pivotal question Jesus asked His disciples: "Who do you say I am?" Drawing from Mark 8, we examine how different people have viewed Jesus throughout history and challenge you to answer this question for yourself. Is He a teacher, a prophet, or the Messiah? Join us as we reflect on the significance of Jesus' true identity and why your answer to this question is of ultimate importance.Tune in now for a deep dive into the most crucial question of our faith.+ + + + +H...2025-03-3138 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Formula" | Mark 7:24-37 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! In this powerful sermon based on Mark 7:24-37, we explore the unexpected grace of Jesus as he crosses boundaries and offers new life to those the world considers outsiders. From a desperate mother in Tyre to a deaf man in need of healing, we see Jesus meet people with compassion and precision, not through a formula, but through his personal care and mercy. It's time to stop searching for life hacks and instead focus on the only true formula for life: Jesus himself. We are reminded that true transformation comes not from outward c...2025-03-1738 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Executing the Game Plan" | Mark 4:21-34 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! What do we do with 2000 year old parables of Jesus talking about seeds, and lamps, and old testament references about the prophet Isaiah? Glad you asked! This Sunday we look at how Jesus used these parables (stories) to prepare His team for the journey ahead. It's hard to understand at times how God is working and moving in the world. But Jesus gives us insights by telling us these parables. I have found these uniquely encouraging and accurate as I seek to invest in other people's lives spiritually and I hope you will t...2024-12-1641 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Restoring the Deformed" | Mark 3:1-6 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! This Sunday we look at the day Jesus healed a man with a deformed hand on the Sabbath. It's one of those moments in scripture that are both amazing and depressing. The amazing part is we see Jesus restore a life. The depressing part is the response of some of the crowd. Their response reveals that there was a deeper deformation that day than just the man's hand. How does Jesus respond to such critical and resentful people? His reaction might surprise you. Come this Sunday as we dive into these scriptures and u...2024-11-1839 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Barriers to Faith" | Mark 2:18-28 | Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! In talking with friends and acquaintances who don't know or follow Jesus, I always find it fascinating to hear what barriers keep them from believing the Gospel. I also find myself compelled to help one of those barriers be removed! It's heartbreaking to hear about barriers to faith in Jesus. In this chunk of scripture we are presented with two large barriers to faith. One is the barrier of comprehension, the other is the barrier of scripture. You might ask, how are comprehension (understanding) and scriptures barriers to faith? Well that's exactly what J...2024-11-1142 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"An Operation of Grace" | Mark 2:13-17 | Tim ParlierWe have seen pretty quickly in our study of Mark's gospel account that Jesus is on a mission! He has come to seek and save the lost. He has come to heal. He has come to deliver. But not everyone seems to be in favor of what he's up to... why not? What stops people from being excited and supportive of what Jesus is up to in the world? What might even stop us today? We unpack all of that and much more this Sunday... hope to see you there!+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please...2024-11-0440 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The King is Here" | Mark 1:9-15 | Tim ParlierDeep down in all of us is a longing for good and righteous leadership. As we look across the globe it's agonizing to see the level of corruption, greed, and evil in people with positions of power. Here in the States we also feel the frustration and exasperation when people in positions of power are betraying those they have been sworn to oversee. The initial readers of Mark's gospel understood all of this and much more. They were in an atrocious position under the dictatorship of Emperor Nero. Also for many, their longing for good and upright leadership was...2024-10-0739 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Hold On!" | Mark 1:1-8 | Tim ParlierThere are countless societal problems in 2024 and they appropriately can create a lot of angst in us. But it's safe to say our issues as Americans pale in comparison to the issues of the first Christian readers of Mark's Gospel. This was a time when people (specifically Christians) were being burned alive and fed to wild animals. Under such horrific circumstances what would Mark write to start his gospel account? What would he take the opportunity to say to encourage these troubled brothers and sisters? What would the Holy Spirit inspire to meet them where they were at? If...2024-09-3041 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Murphy's Law" || 2 Cor. 1:1-10 || Tim ParlierWhen you think about the next 5-10 years of your life, how do you feel? Are you hopeful? Concerned? Depressed? Fearful? Excited? What shapes the way you think and feel about your future? The Gospel gives us a lense to both think and feel about our future... do you know what that is? Do you see your present and future through the lense of the Gospel? If not, you're missing an amazing blessing!

Generation Church South Oceanside"Like a Child" || A Praying Life || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! As we close out this series on Prayer, lets bring it back to where we started..."Our Father." These are the first words Jesus taught His disciples when He taught them to pray and they are words loaded with Good News. Over and over in the Gospels Jesus applauds the "childlike" and teaches us to pray to our Father. So what does that mean for us in prayer? How do we "come to God in childlikeness?" What does that look like in everyday life? Lets dive into all of that and more as w...2024-09-0336 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Take a Walk" || A Praying Life || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! When you think of someone praying...what image comes to your mind? My other guess is that the most common answer will be "a person with their head down, eyes closed, hands clasped, and sitting in silence." The question then is, is that how Jesus would coach us to pray? Is there a specific posture? Should it be quiet, silent, loud, or something else? This week like every week we'll dive into the scriptures and find incredibly practical help in our Praying Lives. Specifically we will look at how often God uses walking t...2024-08-2034 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Tuned In" || A Praying Life || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! Join us for a message called "Tuned In." We're going to look at Jesus' teaching the Gospel of John chapter 10 and the role listening takes in our prayer lives. Many people think of prayer mostly as what I do, say, or even how I speak to God. Those aren't wrong but they are only part of our communication with God. Those also assume that we're the only ones doing the talking in prayer. Yet the bible reveals robust examples cover to cover of how God speaks to His people and is the initiator o...2024-08-1243 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"He's Him" || A Praying Life || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! Last week Jesus taught us that a significant part of a praying life includes making space for acknowledging the Holiness of God. This is the "Hallowed be thy name" portion of the Lord's prayer. This week we're double clicking on that movement "Hallowed be thy name" of the Lord's prayer. Hallowed means to set apart as Holy, matchless, unique and awesome. It's possible the "prayer" we need most is to turn our eyes upon Him and simply stand in awe of God! May we look full in His wonderful face, and let the t...2024-07-2930 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Cali Burrito of Prayer" || A Praying Life || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! How do you pray? When do you pray? What is prayer? These are all questions we're excited to talk through in this new series on prayer! In week one, we explore what Jesus meant when He said to His disciples "This is how you should pray..." It's pretty sweet that we don't have to wonder, in fact Jesus came to remove the confusion and bring clarity to how we can pray, experience a deeper relationship with Him, and cultivate a Praying Life. Our hope is that you would begin to experience greater intimacy w...2024-07-2344 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"When The Lies Died" || John 1:1-18 || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation Church! “It’s not so much what happens to us in life that shapes us, it’s what we tell ourselves about what happened to us that shapes us.” ― Tim KellerLiving in a broken world, it's tempting for us to believe we are what we do or what has happened to us. These lies can have a powerful grip on us, keeping us from stepping into the freedom that is ours in Christ. Thankfully, we don't need to stay in that place of bondage. The gospel is good news of Truth tha...2024-07-1548 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Mission Trip Living" || Titus 2:9-15 || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation! Have you ever gone somewhere for a mission trip? Usually mission trips are filled with a lot of mixed experiences. There are moments when you're filled with excitement, joy, and purpose. There are also moments where you're filled with frustration, discomfort, and a longing to "just be in my own bed." But if you ask most people how their trip went, almost always they say something like..."it was life changing." Why is that? What is it about mission trips that have such a profound impact on us? At minimum, it's because every day i...2024-06-2441 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"You Matter" || Titus 2:1-8 || Tim ParlierHave you ever had someone ask you "what type of church do you go to?" It's hard to know what they're asking, or how to answer. Are they asking what size or what kind of music we play or what people look like? What is a type? Is that a question about denominational affiliation or ethnicity or theological position? In some ways it would have been really nice to be a part of the first century church. There were no denominations yet, no worship wars, no "types"... it was simply The Church that existed in whatever city or town...2024-06-1745 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Fit To Lead" || Titus 1:5-9 || Tim ParlierLeadership matters. No matter what organization, business, team, or church... the way the leadership goes has an incredible impact on everyone else. So what does the bible say about what type of person should be a leader in a church? Why does that matter for you? This is what Paul writes to Titus in the 2nd part of our series. We hope you can join us as we look at what God prioritizes in leadership as well as how this can help us know where He is inviting us each to grow in our gospel impact with those around...2024-06-0344 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Know Before You Go" || Titus 1:1-4 || Tim ParlierWelcome to Generation! This week we kick off our 7 week series studying the Epistle of Titus. This is a short but loaded letter from the Apostle Paul to Titus his "son in the faith." It's a really sweet glimpse into the world of the first century that isn't too dissimilar from our own. This series will be called Titus: Theology for Every Day. The reason for that title is we see a heavy emphasis on what it looks like to have Jesus shaping the way we live day in and day out. This first Sunday we'll look a...2024-05-2844 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Free to be Real" || P.I.E.R. Creating a Gospel Culture || Tim ParlierThis week we tackle our final letter of the P.I.E.R. culture acronym... the "R" which stands for Real. We are committed to creating a culture that is real. We don't want to "play church" we want real relationships, even if they're messy. Being real with yourself, God, and others is an uncommon but incredible gift of Grace. We're all too familiar with the pain of fake friends or fake people. People we thought were one way then turned out to be another. Yet, if we're totally honest with ourselves, we sometimes do the same things. We...2024-04-2939 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Love Listens" || P.I.E.R. Creating a Gospel Culture || Tim ParlierThis week we dive into our third letter of P.I.E.R. Culture, the "E" for Empathetic. Sometimes I am simply blown away at the empathy of Jesus revealed in scriptures. I am blown away at his patience, his desire to listen, his gentleness, and so much more. This Sunday we zoom into a few moments in Jesus' public ministry that help us understand why creating an Empathetic culture is so important as a church. We hope you join us as we continue creating the P.I.E.R. culture here at Generation and beyond!+ + + + +2024-04-2239 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Gospel Intentionality" || P.I.E.R. Creating a Gospel Culture || Tim ParlierIn part 2 of our new series we dig into the second letter in our P.I.E.R. Culture acronym. "I" for Intentional. A culture of intentionality is a beautiful thing. Intentionality might be one of the most accurate words to describe the character of Jesus. He was anything but flippant, accidental or flaky! So it should be no surprise to us that when He inhabits a people they become intentional people! So what does Intentionality act like and feel like? Why should we be intentional? How do we grow or find the strength to be intentional in our...2024-04-1552 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Turn Up The Volume" || Psalm 118 || Tim ParlierGratitude has an amazing power in our lives. It has been said "you can't be BOTH anxious and thankful at the same time." Expressing gratitude has a way of overpowering all the other forces battling for our minds & souls. In Psalm 118 we dive into an outpouring of thankfulness from the Psalmist. What is he thankful for? Why? Why does that have anything to do with our lives today? If you're struggling with fear, anxiety, or weakness... this is a Psalm for you because in Him we have safety, strength, and salvation! "Give thanks to the Lord for He is...2024-03-2538 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Overcoming Hopelessness" || Psalms 77 || Tim ParlierWelcome 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...2024-03-0538 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Seeing VS Discerning" || Psalms 73 || Tim ParlierWelcome 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...2024-02-2641 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"My Good Shepherd" || Psalms 23 || Tim ParlierPsalm 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?

Generation Church South Oceanside"The Blessed Way" || Psalms 1 || Tim ParlierThe 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...2024-01-2941 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"Lost & Found" || Luke 15 || Tim ParlierIn 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...2024-01-2243 min

Generation Church South Oceanside"The DNA of Friendship" || Tim ParlierFriendship 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?

Generation Church South Oceanside"Christmas in Contrast" || Christmas in Real Life || Tim ParlierWelcome 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?

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.

Doing this produces anxiety, worry, anger, etc. But God instructs His people from cover to cover of the Bible to set their minds...2023-12-1841 min
