Poke the Bear, But Don't Run (Away) - Audio
You have a friend who has remarried and just had a baby. But they're wigging out over all of it - and convinced that they are going to fail again.

Ask (Lots of) Questions - Audio
This message is primarily for insiders, people who are born again and follow Jesus Christ. In it, Max Vanderpool encourages us to step back from (evangelistic) methods that are contrived and artificial and (instead) embrace methods that are authentic and relational. There's no better way to do that than to ask (lots of) questions.

Be Someone They Can Trust - Audio
For those of us who grew up in the church (and are over the age of 35), we associate evangelism and sharing our faith with things like tracts, the Four Spiritual Laws and crusades. But what if sharing your faith is more about making a real friend than making sure they understand all the rights things? What if building trust is what leads them to want to trust Jesus? In this message, Brian Hull shows how the early Christians built relationships in order to lead people to Jesus.

It Requires Risk - Audio
A lot of people are paralyzed by fear. Fear of heights. Fear of being alone. Fear of failure. Fear of growing old. Fear of losing their health or someone that matters to them. It's as though fear has a corner on the market. But fear doesn't have to have the final word. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares what can happen when you trust God (even though you're afraid)...and how God can use YOU to kill a giant.

It Starts Inside - Audio
The next time you face a lion, bear or giant, your looks and appearance won't matter. Neither will your talents or strengths. Nor will any of the things we tend to rely upon.

In this message, Max Vanderpool shares what it is and how to position yourself to win over the next big thing in life.

Worship Was Great Today - Audio
You ask a friend how church was on Sunday and they tell you that worship was off the hook. And then they proceed to talk about the amazing new bass player and how they were just really into it on Sunday and how you missed a great worship set. We tend to talk about worship in terms of the musical portion of a worship service. But is that what worship is all about? In this message, Max Vanderpool peels away some of the layers of worship at Generations.

When Important Things Don't Get Done - Audio
In your family, when important things don't get done, it creates a problem and people get upset. When the trash or dishes pile up. When the bills are left unpaid. When someone is left standing at the soccer field waiting to be picked up (for over 2 hours). It's the SAME way in your church family, which is why EVERYONE is important and EVERYONE is needed.

The P-Word that Makes All the Difference - Audio

What God Does (When You Obey) - Audio
Bible reading and prayer isn't really about Bible reading and prayer. It's about putting yourself in a place that, when God asks you to do something really crazy, you just do it. In this interview with Daniel Pike, Pastor Isaiah & the Generations family are reminded what God does when we walk in obedience - it's never what we expect; it's better.

The Secret of Happiness - Audio
Throughout life, when presented with 2-3 options, ALL of us choose the option we believe will make us the most HAPPY. And so we choose Susan over Christy, History over Pre-Med, and we're convinced owning a house will be better than renting. So given all the effort we put into making ourselves happy, you would think we would be the happiest people around. And you'd be dead wrong. That's because there IS a secret to happiness, and it's not intuitive.

Is There a Right (and a Wrong) Way to Pray? - Audio
Everybody says that prayer is just talking with God. But what if prayer is more than that? What if prayer is a way of approaching God? And what if there really is a right way and a wrong way to approach him?

A Christian Man's Take on the Woman's World - Audio

The Risk of Following Your Heart - Audio
When we let our hearts lead, we turn into awful used car salesmen - and lie to ourselves about where we are and what we're really doing. But everywhere, we're encouraged to follow our heart. So which is it? Should we follow our heart or not? And if so, how can we fool-proof our decisions?

Two Sides to Every Story - Audio
You promise yourself you're going to read the Bible ALL the way through in 2012...and you don't. Or worse, you promise someone else they can count on you no matter what...and then don't exactly live up to the pledge. Peter was a man who knew the raw emotions of letting someone else down...someone who really mattered to him. In this message, Brian Hull offers all of us the encouragement that comes by simply following Jesus.

So what are you waiting for?

Betrayal and Grace - Audio
A friend who lies about you. A business partner who hangs you out to dry (because their name isn't the one on the contract). A spouse who falls in love with someone else. Betrayal. It's almost like the air we breathe. It's everywhere. In this message, Max Vanderpool shows us that grace is available in the midst of betrayal and that, even though it's hard to accept, it's the only way to really live through it.

Saved by Grace - Audio
Life's not fair, and God's not fair. And that's good news. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares why none of us really wants God to be fair (and give us what we deserve). Nope. Grace is so much better and is exactly what we need most.

Accepted by Grace - Audio
The list. Everyone seems to have a list of things to be or do to be acceptable. A banker? Wear a suit and tie. A Christian? Go to church and be nice? A Mom? Stay thin, put on make-up and keep an immaculate house. No matter where you go, everyone seems to insist upon a list. Most folks believe God rolls the same way. In this message, Max Vanderpool examines a list of names at the beginning of Matthew's Gospel that blows the list out of the water. Who is there and how they lived will shock you. In...
