Genesis Church - Carmel

In John 18 we see the inevitable clash between Jesus & the powers of darkness. As this plays out we how that Jesus always stands victorious and also that he gives us a model of how to live out our faith in him today.

If we had to boil it down to just one thing that we're supposed to do, what would that be? What is the greatest commandment? In Mark chapter 12, Jesus was asked this exact question. Join Pastor Ben Crouse as he examines Jesus' response and unpacks how we live out the Greatest Commandment.

It's not hard to find stories of people who have been hurt by a church and have been left disappointed, wounded, and reeling. It would be easy to throw in the towel on the Church and write it off completely. But scripture tells us that Jesus established, loved, and died for His Church. Jerry Naville shares the reasons he loves the Church, and specifically Genesis Church.

Groups and Disciple-making Pastor Ben Crouse talks on the importance of loving our neighbor and living intentionally as he unpacks the story of the Good Samaritan

Pastor Jerry Naville shares about an encounter Jesus had with a paralyzed man, found in John 5.

In John chapter 4, Jesus goes back to Cana and has a chance encounter with a royal official from Herod’s court. He begs Jesus to heal his son, who is back home at Capernaum. Jesus is able to do at a distance what medicine couldn’t do at arm’s length, and his whole family become followers of Jesus and become involved in his ministry! We, too, can become disciple-makers when we want Jesus to do for...

Whether we realize it or not, we are all searching for something that will satisfy our deepest desires. Jerry Naville teaches from John chapter 4, when Jesus has an encounter with a woman who is looking for water to drink, but instead finds eternal satisfaction for our soul. As a result her entire community is transformed! Jesus offers that same satisfaction to everyone who trusts in him.

Do you ever wish that you could have a do-over? Maybe you keep messing up that project at work, or you just find yourself coming up short time and time again? Kevin Russell preaches a powerful message from John 3, when Jesus had a conversation with a man who thought he was doing everything right, yet Jesus told him that he needed a new start…a new birth. The truth is, God accepts you because of wh...

In John 2, we find a story about Jesus making a whip and clearing the temple courts, driving out money-changers and those taking advantage of the poor. What is the modern-day equivalent to Jesus’s cleansing of the temple? Since our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, we need to ask: What does Jesus need to clean out of my life?

There are so many things from life to enjoy. But when we make the things of this world our ULTIMATE source of joy, we are bound to be disappointed.    But the truth of this story, and the message that we believe John wants us to see, is that Jesus changes everything. No matter what you go through in life, Jesus is what you need. He’s our source of joy. He is the only one that can truly satisfy.  J...

When it comes to knowing God and growing in our relationship with him, we all want to know how to take a next step.

Beholding the Lamb of God is how you begin a relationship with Jesus, and beholding is also how you grow in your relationship with Jesus. When you behold the Lamb of God by faith for the very first time, you can experience his love and forgiveness as you enter an eternal life-giving relationship with God. But you can experience the love of God and eternal life today, as you behold the Lamb of God...

In the opening verses to his gospel, John shares a message of hope that anyone can become a child of God through faith in Jesus…the problem is that there are a few challenges that we allow to stand in our way to fully receiving that promise.

When we think of the Christmas story we tend to think of the long awaited fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies of a virgin giving birth to a baby in Bethlehem. But Revelation 12 tells another version of the Christmas story that helps explain why the world we are living in feels so dark! Thankfully, scripture reminds us that Jesus came that first Christmas as the true light of the world and that...

Imagine what could happen, if we embraced and began to display the joy that can only be found through Jesus Christ. It would be unlike anything people have ever seen.

We live in a tired, worn-out, weary world. You may be feeling weary this Christmas season, and you probably have a very good reason why. Paul Mumaw shares from the book of 1 John and we discover that because Jesus came to earth and is alive today we, as followers of Jesus, can rejoice even in our weariness!

What exactly is faith? It’s easy to think of faith as something that we believe to be true or possible in our minds, but according to the writer of Hebrews it's much more than that! Carmel campus pastor, Jerry Naville, teaches that faith is more than a belief or a state of mind that we work ourselves into. True faith has substance that translates to action.

Do you ever struggle in your faith? Does your faith ever feel weak? You’re not alone. In 2 Timothy, Paul writes to his son in the faith, Timothy, who is struggling in his faith. Paul encourages Timothy by reminding him of his faith story and the story of the gospel. He calls Timothy to fan his faith into flame, and join Paul in the work of sharing Jesus with others. He encourages Timothy to focus...
