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

In this week’s message, we continue our journey through Ephesians 3, exploring what it means to be “Strengthened with Power” through God’s Spirit. The Apostle Paul reminds us that God’s grace empowers us to become ministers of the gospel — not because of our worthiness, but because of His mercy. We’re invited to embrace humility, remember how much we’ve been forgiven, and live as witnesses of Christ’s transforming love.

Through passages in Acts 9, Romans 8, and Ephesians 3, we’re reminded that nothing can separate us from the love of God — a love that surpasses all knowledge and fills us with the fullness of Christ. Be encouraged to draw near to Him, to seek the mysteries He reveals, and to be strengthened in your inner being to comprehend the height, depth, and breadth of His great love.

On this kickoff Sunday at Genesis Church, Pastor Bob shares a powerful message on the gospel of Jesus Christ as the foundation of everything the church does—its ministries, generosity, and mission to reach people locally and globally. Drawing from Romans 1, he outlines seven truths about the gospel: it comes from God, is about God, reveals Jesus as God incarnate, transforms lives, calls us to faith, must be shared boldly, and is fully centered on God’s power.

The service also features moving testimonies from new members whose stories of redemption and healing show how God continues to change lives through His church. Pastor Bob invites the Genesis family to catch the vision for the future—trusting God to remove the church’s debt and expand ministry opportunities—while celebrating communion together in gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice.

In this week’s message from Acts 2:42–47, Pastor Bob unpacks God’s “formulas” for a healthy church—teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Just as formulas in science and math produce reliable results, these biblical practices bring spiritual growth, unity, and transformation when consistently lived out. Through stories of community impact, missions partnerships, and baptisms, we’re reminded that God moves powerfully when His people return to His design.

In this special service, Genesis Church gathered to grieve recent community tragedies and honor the lives of fallen police officers. Pastor Bob reminded us from Scripture that when one member suffers, we all suffer, and that Christ calls His church to compassion, action, and love. Drawing from Mark 6, he challenged us to see the needs around us, care for others, and step toward those who are hurting with the compassion of Jesus. Guest speakers, including retired officer Shannon Lewis and Attorney General Dave Sunday, shared powerful testimonies of sacrifice, hope, and the importance of community support. Together, the message was clear: the church must not only pray but also live out God’s love beyond its walls—being a source of light, healing, and unity in a broken world.

In this heartfelt message, Pastor Bob leads Genesis Church through a time of prayer, reflection, and encouragement following the recent tragedy in North Codorus Township. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4, he reminds us that though we are fragile “jars of clay,” God’s power sustains us in the midst of trauma and suffering. Through testimonies, Scripture, and prayer, the church family comes together to find hope, healing, and strength in Christ while preparing to support a grieving community.

In this week’s message, Pastor Bob reflects on the true meaning of sacrifice—not just giving money or serving, but fully surrendering ourselves to God first. Drawing from Jesus’ example in the Garden of Gethsemane, he shows how sacrificial living means seeking the Father’s will above our own, walking with others in unity, and living with humility rather than boasting. The message ties in lessons from 9/11, the “Greatest Generation,” and everyday first responders as reminders of what it means to give for the sake of others. Ultimately, the greatest model of sacrifice is Jesus at the cross, and as a church, we are called to follow Him with transformed hearts, ready to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and live for the gospel.

In this message, we explore what it means to ask and believe as Jesus teaches in Scripture. Drawing from passages in Matthew, Mark, James, and 1 Peter, we’re reminded that God calls us to bring our questions, desires, and needs before Him—not for selfish gain, but to draw near to His heart. Pastor Phil unpacks the story of the rich young ruler, the bold request of James and John, and the lessons of faith, forgiveness, and trust in God’s goodness. Listeners are encouraged to check their motives, stand firm in prayer, extend forgiveness, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Legacy Message Series: Revelation

In this legacy message from Pastor Larry Katz, we continue exploring the opening verses of Revelation. Pastor Katz reminds us that John, the recorder of the book, did not originate its message—its source is God the Father, confirmed by the testimony of Christ, and faithfully recorded by John. The sermon emphasizes the trustworthiness of Scripture, the blessing promised to those who read, hear, and obey God’s Word, and the personal responsibility each believer has to receive it. As we study Revelation, Pastor Katz urges us to see Jesus more clearly, worship Him more deeply, and let His truth transform our lives.
