2 Corinthians 1:1-2 - In this opening message on 2 Corinthians, Pastor Bob lays the foundation for a deep and practical journey through Paul’s letter to a struggling church. He reminds us that the Corinthian church, though messy and flawed, was deeply loved by God—just like people today. Emphasizing the importance of meeting people where they are, Pastor Bob challenges us to embrace discipleship, walk with others in their spiritual growth, and reflect the glory of Christ in everyday life. Through Paul's apostolic authority and heart for people, we are called to live differently in our own “modern-day Corinth.”

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

Acts 18:24-20:38 - Pastor Bob reflects on the rich history and spiritual foundation of our nation before launching into the beginning of a new sermon series in the book of Ephesians. Drawing from Acts 18–20, he explores how the gospel first came to Ephesus—a powerful, commercial, and spiritually dark city—and how God used leaders like Apollos and Paul to plant a vibrant, truth-filled church.

Pastor Bob parallels that work with what God is doing today through Genesis Church in York County, calling believers to bold evangelism, spiritual unity, and renewed love for Christ. As the church prepares to walk through Ephesians in the coming months, this message is both a stirring reminder of our purpose and a passionate plea to rekindle our first love for Jesus.
