The Toxic World Of Self Help | Generations Church GP Are you letting God, others, or yourself govern your thoughts? Whether you realize it or not, something, or someone, is always at the wheel of your mind. In this message, we dive into the profound truth of Romans 8:5-6, which reveals that the direction of your life is shaped by whatever is governing your thoughts. When your mind is ruled by the flesh, selfish desires, human approval, or cultural noise, it leads to anxiety, confusion, and spiritual death. But when your mind is governed by the Spirit of God, it brings life and peace. In today's world, our minds are constantly pulled in every direction, by social media comparison, the pressure to perform, or the temptation to rely on self-help solutions. Some of us are unknowingly handing the keys over to people's opinions, unresolved hurt, or the constant need for validation. Others have bought into the lie that we are our own saviors, trying to heal ourselves through self-talk and willpower. But self can't heal self. True transformation begins when we let the Holy Spirit govern our thoughts. Like driving a car, where you look is where you go. In moments of stress or crisis, your mind instinctively turns toward what it's been aligned with. So… what is your mind set on? What voice are you trusting to guide you? Alignment isn't just a concept, it's the difference between chaos and peace, confusion and clarity, bondage and freedom. This isn't just about mindset. It's about Lordship. Who's truly driving your life?
Get ready. God is doing something powerful! We're celebrating new life in Christ this Sunday, and it's not just a baptism, it's a full-on encounter with the presence and power of God! People are stepping into the water and coming out changed. Chains are breaking, lives are being restored, and the Holy Spirit is moving with fire and freedom. This isn't a quiet ceremony, it's revival in action! You'll experience passionate worship, bold preaching, and the undeniable presence of God. If you're hungry for more than religion, if you want the real thing, this is for you. Tune in and see what happens when faith meets fire. The water is ready. The Spirit is moving. Revival is here. Pastor Travis Hansen shares two powerful and practical truths that explain the deeper meaning of baptism: Baptism is a Symbol: It's an outward sign of the inward transformation Jesus has already done in your life. Like a wedding ring or a sports jersey, it represents identity, allegiance, and commitment. It's your public declaration that you belong to Jesus. Baptism is Supernatural: This is more than just a ceremony. Something powerful happens in the spirit. Shame is broken. Identity is sealed. The old life is buried. And new life rises in Christ. It's not just symbolic. It's sacred. Key Bible Passages: Colossians 2:12 – Buried with Christ, raised in faith Romans 6:4 – Dead to sin, alive in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17 – A new creation in Jesus Acts 2:38 – Repent and be baptized Matthew 28:19 – The Great Commission Is This Message For You? Absolutely. If you're new to faith or just exploring who Jesus is, coming back to God after a season away, considering getting baptized and wondering if you're ready, needing a fresh start and longing for a clean slate or even if you've been following Jesus for years. Then this message is for YOU. God isn't finished with your story. In fact, He's just getting started. Today could be the day you say: “I'm all in. I've decided to follow Jesus.” “I'm ready to take the plunge and be baptized.” “I'm saying goodbye to my old life and hello to everything God has for me.”
How To Develop A Winning Mindset Today! Are you tired of feeling stuck do you feel kinda like you're running in place while your calling waits on the other side of your comfort zone? Are you constantly telling yourself, “I'll start tomorrow,” only to find yourself in the same place a month, a year, even a decade later? Do you feel like excuses are quietly stealing your momentum, delaying your God-given purpose, and slowly silencing the voice of potential within you? This message was created for you. In this transformative, scripture-based message, we take a deep dive into the mindset that winners live by. The mindset that refuses to bow to fear, distraction, laziness, or defeat. Rooted in the powerful truth of 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, we unpack how the real battle isn't just about doing more or trying harder. The battle is internal. It begins in your mind. With the beliefs you've adopted, the excuses you've normalized, and the habits you've allowed to shape your life. You don't lose when you fail, you lose when you believe the lie that you're not capable of change. This message challenges you to confront the mental strongholds that are keeping you spiritually passive and emotionally paralyzed. It calls you to wake up, take responsibility, and begin training like the spiritual athlete God created you to be. Break the cycle of self-sabotage Replace toxic thoughts with biblical truth Discipline your mind and body in alignment with your divine assignment And most importantly, live with purpose in every step This isn't just a motivational talk, it's a call to spiritual training. If you're tired of running in circles, this message will equip you to run your race with fire, focus, and eternal vision, no more excuses.
Feeling emotionally exhausted, mentally overwhelmed, and like you're running on empty — even when life looks “good” on the outside? You're not imagining it. Emotional burnout is real, and it's deeper than just needing a nap. Between digital overload, constant comparison, trauma, and the pressure to always perform — our hearts are carrying more than they were ever designed to hold. In this message, we explore: Why you feel tired even when you're not physically doing much How social media and comparison (like Saul vs. David in 1 Samuel 18) drain emotional and spiritual energy Why digital connection often leads to emotional disconnection The surprising power of stillness and quietness (Isaiah 30:15) How real soul rest begins — not with striving, but with returning to God
In this powerful sermon, we dive into the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) and how it parallels our own struggles with shattered dreams, poor decisions, and the redemptive power of God's love. Life can sometimes feel like our dreams have been crushed or stolen, but God's promise is that He can restore and rebuild what has been lost. We are made in God's image—and with that, comes the ability to dream and envision a future full of purpose. But the enemy wants nothing more than to derail us from the dreams God has given us. From crushing our hopes to twisting our desires, the devil will stop at nothing to keep us from fulfilling our God-given potential. Yet, there is hope for every broken dream and shattered vision. Key highlights in this sermon: How the younger son in Luke 15 represents us when we chase after selfish desires and lose sight of God's true purpose for our lives. The spiritual battle behind the dreams we carry and how the devil tries to distort, destroy, or abort them (Genesis 3:6-5). The path to restoration when we repent and return to the Father's love, trusting that our inheritance in Christ is still available to us. The truth from Psalm 37:3-4 that God desires to give us the desires of our hearts, but we must align those desires with His will. If you've ever felt that your dreams are too far gone, this message is for you. God is still in the business of restoring broken dreams and healing hearts. Just like the prodigal son who "came to himself" (Luke 15:17), it's never too late to return to God and find healing for your soul. Don't let your past mistakes define your future. There's always a new beginning in Christ, and He's ready to restore your broken dreams into a hope-filled future.
Are you struggling to heal from a broken heart but worried about losing yourself in the process? Whether it's from a painful breakup, betrayal, or unfulfilled expectations, heartache can feel all-consuming. But the good news is, healing is possible without sacrificing your true self. In this video, we dive deep into how to recover from emotional pain and rebuild your identity after heartbreak. You'll discover practical, spiritual, and emotional strategies to: ✨ Protect your sense of self while navigating the healing process. ✨ Find strength in vulnerability and learn to trust again. ✨ Understand the power of forgiveness and how it leads to true freedom. ✨ Embrace your worth and heal from past wounds without letting them define you. ✨ Let go of bitterness and create space for peace and growth. Using biblical principles and personal growth techniques, we'll explore how healing from a broken heart doesn't mean losing your identity — but rather, it can lead to a deeper, more empowered version of yourself.
What Most People Are Hiding These are the quiet questions so many of us carry into church, into relationships, and into the presence of God. In a world that praises perfection and filters out the flaws, it's easy to wonder if the real, unedited version of ourselves is acceptable… even to God. In this message, we explore the powerful contrast between two kings: Saul and David. Both were called. Both were flawed. But only one chose to be real with God. Saul looked the part but lived behind a mask. David messed up big—but he was honest, broken, and surrendered. And that's the kind of heart God can work with. If you've ever struggled with insecurity, shame, or the pressure to perform—if you've ever asked, “Am I enough for God?” or “Am I worthy of His love?” —this sermon will help you find peace, hope, and identity rooted in something deeper than appearance.
This week's message in our “How's Your Heart?” series dives deep into one of life's biggest questions: Who are you, really? Whether your heart feels whole or completely shattered, this message is for YOU. What lies have you been dating lately? Maybe they sound like: “You're not enough.” “You're too broken.” “You'll never measure up.” But what if that's not the truth? What if your identity isn't found in rejection or failure, but in a relationship with Jesus — the actual source of Truth? Scripture Highlights: John 8:44 — The father of lies. John 14:6 — Jesus is the Truth. 2 Corinthians 5:17 — You are a new creation. Romans 8 — Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ. In this message, we uncover the subtle (and not-so-subtle) lies we all face — and how to break up with them once and for all. You'll learn how to discern truth from lies, discover your identity in Christ, and begin walking in freedom and purpose.
How To Break Out Of The Prison Of Fear | Easter 2025 | Generations Church GP Are you feeling trapped? Paralyzed by fear? On Easter Sunday 2025, we explore one of the most overlooked moments in the resurrection story — when the disciples were still locked behind closed doors... afraid. In this powerful Easter message from Generations Church in Grande Prairie, Pastor Travis Hansen unpacks John 20:1–23, revealing how even after Jesus rose from the dead, His closest followers were stuck in fear — not because He wasn't alive, but because they hadn't yet embraced what His resurrection meant for the. ➡️ Are you still locked in the room of fear? ➡️ Has fear been holding you back from the life Jesus is calling you into? ➡️ Do you know that Jesus walks into locked spaces... just to bring you peace? This message will speak directly to your heart if you're battling: Anxiety or panic about your future Fear of failure, rejection, or disappointment Spiritual paralysis or indecision A sense of unworthiness or spiritual disconnection Jesus didn't just conquer the grave — He walks into rooms filled with fear and breathes peace, purpose, and power. It's time to open the door and step out.
In this Palm Sunday message, we take a raw and honest look at unmet expectations. The crowd in Jerusalem cheered for a King who they believed would fix their world… but Jesus had something much deeper in mind. Maybe you've been praying for breakthrough, direction, healing—or just a sign that Jesus sees you—and it feels like He hasn't shown up the way you hoped. You're not alone. In this message, "The King We Want or the King We Need," we explore: Why the people missed the true mission of Jesus What to do when God doesn't meet your expectations How Jesus disrupts our plans to fulfill a greater purpose Why your biggest disappointments might actually be invitations to resurrection
