In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn't treat money like a neutral tool.

God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you've been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti preaches from Mark 4:35–41 and unpacks the powerful moment when Jesus calms the storm. The disciples fear drowning but after Jesus speaks, the storm obeys and their fear shifts from the waves to the fear of the Lord.You will learn the difference between fear that comes from faithlessness and holy fear that leads to wisdom, obedience, and life. If you are in a storm right now physical, financial, relational, or spiritual this sermon will strengthen your faith, remind you of God's love proven at the cross, and call you to fear the right thing not the storm but the Lord of the storm.

In this timely and biblical message, Pastor Ryan Visconti addresses one of the most debated issues of our moment: immigration - through the lens of Scripture. With both clarity and compassion, he explains how Christians can hold love for the foreigner and respect for law and order in tension - without falling into the world's false “either/or.”Pastor Ryan walks through key passages in the Old and New Testaments to show:why every human being has dignity as an image-bearer of God,why nations and borders exist by God's design,why lawlessness produces real consequences,and how the gospel ultimately reframes the immigration conversation spiritually—because we were once “foreigners” to God, but brought near through Jesus.If you've felt confused, burdened, or pressured to pick a side, this message will help you think with biblical maturity and respond with truth, wisdom, and mercy.

We finished the fast, and now we finish the series. In this final and most challenging message of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the Christian F-word: forgiveness. Using Paul's letter to the Ephesians and his own powerful testimony, this teaching reveals why some people can go from tragic pasts to inspiring futures—and why others stay stuck. From understanding how footholds give the enemy a base of operations in your life to discovering the four steps to releasing the past (decide don't feel, go first, name the debt, release it to God)—this message is raw, honest, and transformative. If you've been carrying the weight of unforgiveness, bitterness, or anger, this message will show you how to release your past so your past can release you. Their hardship doesn't have to destroy your life, but it will quietly ruin it. At some point, you have to decide: will your past remind you or define you? *Scripture:* Ephesians 4:26-32 *Big Idea:* We have to release the past so that our past can release us. Forgiveness doesn't let them off the hook—it allows you to take back control of your future. Your past will remind you, but it doesn't have to define you. *Key Quote:* "You have to release the past so that your past can release you. Forgiveness is a decision: you don't owe me anymore." ⸻ *Key Topics:* How people go from tragic pasts to inspiring futures The Circle of Blame: owning our part vs. dealing with their part Ephesians 4:26 - In your anger, do not sin How many sunsets will you hold on to anger? Don't give the devil a foothold (base of operations) Signs of a foothold: react vs. respond, rehearse conversations, protect before trust Forgiveness is not a feeling—it's a decision Four steps: Decide don't feel, Go first, Name the debt, Release it to God Forgiveness isn't bolt cutters—it's a pry bar (you'll do it more than once) Pastor Ryan's testimony: from pain to purpose +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

My son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, is in the studio with me today, and we're talking about life-giving parenting—especially when it comes to raising boys in a culture that's confused (and often hostile) toward masculinity. We discuss why children are a blessing, why the family is under attack, what the Bible actually teaches about discipline, and how to raise boys with courage, purpose, and a love for the Lord. I think you're going to be encouraged.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Jesus often taught about the Kingdom of God through simple stories with deep meaning. In Mark 4, He shares three powerful parables that reveal how the gospel grows, why deception exists alongside truth, and how God's Kingdom spreads farther than anyone expects.In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through the Parable of the Growing Seed, the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, showing how God brings spiritual growth even when we cannot see it, why it is not our job to judge hearts, and how small acts of obedience can produce massive Kingdom impact.If you've ever felt discouraged because you don't see immediate results from sharing your faith, confused by fake Christianity, or tempted to despise small beginnings, this message will anchor you in truth and give you hope. The Kingdom of God is growing even when it looks hidden.
Pastor Ryan explores an image in scripture that we believe will shape us as we enter this next season as a church family.

In week 3 of "Cheat Code," Pastor Ryan unpacks Romans 12:2 and reveals why we keep doing things we don't want to do anymore. Using the restoration process of refinishing furniture, this teaching shows the three-step process of renewing your mind and finally breaking the cycle.

Jesus didn't light a lamp so it could be hidden and He didn't give us the gospel to keep it private. In this message from Mark 4:21–25, we unpack what Jesus meant by the lamp and the light, why the gospel is an open invitation (not hidden knowledge), and how the measure you bring - your attention, hunger, and willingness to listen—determines the understanding you receive.

Cheat Code: Own It | Breaking Free from Repeated Patterns Same struggles, different year. Same issues, different relationship. Why do we keep repeating the same patterns? In week 2 of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the hardest but most essential step to breaking free: owning our part in our past. Using the powerful account of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, this message explores why we hide, blame, and repeat the same mistakes—and how taking responsibility for our piece of the story can bring the clarity and freedom we've been searching for. From understanding why sin didn't just break our relationship with God but also broke our willingness to take responsibility, to discovering how blame smuggles old issues into new seasons—this teaching will challenge you to ask the question we all avoid: "What was my part?" Whether you've been stuck in cycles of blame or ready to lower the emotional temperature in your life—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom principle that will change everything: The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.
In 2026, we want to be a church that gets more engaged with prayer. But like anything, we won't just start praying at length because we resolved to do so. We need training. And that begins with an honest assessment of what our challenges are to a prayer-filled life. Pastor Ryan begins our year in earnest with a series reflecting on What Makes Prayer So Difficult. The starting place? Apathy. It's easy to write prayer off when we're not engaged with it, but beautifully, God has offered His people the dignity of participation. We get to partner with the God of the universe, growing in relationship and bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to bear on the earth through our prayers. It all begins with a single step towards God in prayer. Will you take a step today? What will it be?
Launching into a New Year, we're also launching into a fresh season with God leading us. In a few weeks Pastor Ryan will be casting vision for the season ahead with an image from Scripture to shape us, but first we want to prepare, and preparation starts with the heart.
