From the series "Spring Into Action"

This sermon walks through the events of Passion Week, beginning with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and leading to the Passover meal. It contrasts the crowd’s expectations of a political king with Jesus’ mission as a humble Savior, highlights His cleansing of the temple and call for God’s house to be a place of prayer, and emphasizes His compassion for people who were spiritually lost. The message also reflects on the conspiracy leading to His betrayal and the intimacy of the Last Supper, encouraging believers to spend time in prayer, reflect on Christ’s sacrifice, and trust God’s power at work in their lives.

From the series "Spring Into Action"

In this message from Gospel of John chapter 12, the church is invited to reflect on Jesus’ inner struggle as He approaches the cross and prepares for Easter. Drawing from Jesus’ words, “Now my soul is troubled,” the sermon highlights how Christ experienced real anguish, yet chose obedience to the Father’s will for the sake of humanity.

By connecting Jesus being “lifted up” with the bronze serpent in Book of Numbers 21, the message emphasizes that salvation comes by looking to Christ in faith. Listeners are encouraged to bring their own suffering, fears, and uncertainties to God, trusting that Jesus understands and walks with them.

The sermon challenges believers to live with purpose, glorify God in trials, and actively share the hope of the gospel as Easter approaches—reminding everyone that through Christ’s sacrifice, freedom, victory, and eternal life are offered to all who respond.

In this message, the pastoral team at Genesis Church explores the biblical picture of shepherding and what it means for both church leaders and believers. Drawing from passages across Scripture—including Exodus, Psalm 23, John 10, Ephesians 4, and 1 Peter 5—they highlight the heart of a true shepherd: caring for people, guiding them in truth, protecting them from harm, and leading them toward Christ.

The pastors share how shepherding was never meant to be done alone, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, unity, and equipping the whole church to participate in ministry. Just as God is the ultimate Shepherd who provides, restores, and walks with His people through every valley, church leaders are called to reflect that same care by serving humbly, teaching faithfully, and walking alongside others in both joy and struggle.

Ultimately, this message reminds us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep. As a church family, we are invited to follow His example—living in love, humility, and unity while reaching outward to share the hope of Christ with the world.

This week at Genesis Church, we heard powerful testimonies of how Jesus is transforming lives across the globe. Special guest missionaries shared how God is moving in Syria, Iran, and right here in York—planting churches, reaching Arabic-speaking communities, and rebuilding lives through the gospel.

Our featured guest speaker, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, Founder and President of Exodus From Darkness, shared his remarkable journey from radical Islam and political extremism in Iran to discovering the truth, love, and freedom found in Jesus Christ. Through deep study, personal crisis, and a life-changing encounter with the gospel, he came to see that Christ is unmatched in love, leadership, and truth. His story is a compelling reminder that Jesus is still saving, still restoring, and still at work in every nation.

Be encouraged: the gospel is powerful, Jesus is alive, and God is working around the world!

From the series "Unity In The Body: A Study of Ephesians"

In this powerful conclusion to our study of Ephesians, we dive into the reality of spiritual warfare. Drawing from Ephesians 6:10–18, this message reminds us that the battles we face aren’t merely physical, emotional, or circumstantial—they are spiritual. Behind discouragement, conflict, temptation, and despair, there is a real enemy seeking to accuse, deceive, and destroy.

But we are not left defenseless. We have a greater Savior!

God calls us to stand strong by putting on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer. Our victory isn’t found in our own strength, but in Jesus Christ, who has already defeated the enemy.

If you’re feeling discouraged or under attack, this message will point you back to the true source of strength and lasting victory.

From the series "Unity In The Body: A Study of Ephesians"

In this week’s message from Ephesians 6:1–9, we continue exploring Paul’s “household codes” and what they mean for us today. Looking at children and parents, as well as slaves and masters in the context of first-century Rome, we discover timeless principles about authority, responsibility, and living “as unto the Lord.”

This sermon challenges children to obey and honor their parents, reminds fathers to lead with gentleness and intentional spiritual guidance, and calls all believers—whether under authority or in authority—to reflect Christ in their relationships. From the home to the workplace, we are reminded that every role we hold is ultimately lived before Jesus.

As we navigate family dynamics, parenting struggles, workplace tensions, and generational responsibilities, this message points us back to God’s design for the family and the importance of humility, obedience, and Christ-centered leadership. Ultimately, the key to thriving in every relationship is walking daily in the Lord and preparing to “put on the armor of God.”

From the series "Unity In The Body: A Study of Ephesians"

In this message from Ephesians 5–6, we explore God’s “household code” for building a healthy, Christ-centered home in a culture that often gets it wrong. Using the imagery of deciphering a code, the sermon unpacks how marriages and families are meant to function differently when Christ is at the center. Paul’s instructions on husbands, wives, and mutual submission are rooted not in control or cultural norms, but in being filled with the Spirit, cultivating gratitude and praise, and living in reverence to Christ. The message challenges common misunderstandings about submission, highlights sacrificial love modeled after Christ, and reminds us that every home faces spiritual opposition. When God’s design is followed, homes can be strengthened, restored, and built on a solid foundation that reflects the gospel.
