Genesis Church Messages

If we're not careful, fear can overwhelm any of us. It has a way of sneaking into just about every aspect of life, including how we think about and manage our money.  God doesn’t want us living in fear. Thankfully, he has something better for each of us - a way of living that decreases our fear of the unknown and increases our trust in Him.

The way we view money and possessions can be positive and life giving, or negative and disruptive.  On several occasions Jesus warned that a love of money can distract our hearts away from God and have damaging eternal consequences.  The question that all of us need to answer is: how can we learn to want less stuff so we can enjoy true contentment.

We live in a world that idolizes money and tempts us into believing the lie that the more we have the better life will be.  The problem is that our pursuit of more has lead to more stress, more anxiety and more discontentment - no matter how much we have, make or save.  Jesus has identified the problem as greed, and he wants to help us learn how to dethrone greed in our hearts, so we can learn to...

 In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul reminds followers of Jesus that living a Sent life begins by allowing our behaviors to flow from our identity in Christ.  We must continually abide in him so that our relationship with him can guide the way we live for him.  

If you’re going to live for Jesus in this world, you’re going to need lots of encouragement along the way. In this message you’ll meet Barnabas. We need more like him, and you can be a Barnabas right where you are. 

In Acts 24, Paul was on trial before Roman governor Felix and he was blameless. Paul shamelessly preached about faith in Jesus and so put Felix on trial in his conscience. As Christians, whether we like it or not, our faith is on trial before a watching world so like Paul we must live blameless and be shameless about Christ. After this life, every one of us will stand before God and face judgment...

In Acts 24 Luke gives us a contrast between two men who respond very differently to the convenience of Jesus as Lord. The truth is, very little about following Jesus is convenient; it requires that we give total Lordship to every area of our lives. But, living under the Lordship of Jesus is the best place for us and also the honor he deserves.

The story of what God has done in our lives is meant to be on our lips everywhere we go. In Acts 22 we will discover that Jesus called Paul to use his story to share God's story, and that he calls us to do the same.

In Acts 19, we find the Apostle Paul continuing his missionary work in the city of Ephesus.  During his time there, the Holy Spirit used Paul’s faithfulness in the small things to accomplish big things for God’s Kingdom.  But the biggest impact may have been what happens at the end of the chapter when the Holy Spirit convicted followers of Jesus to burn the very things that represented their hidde...

In Acts 17 the Apostle Paul arrived in a city where people weren’t just far from God – they were completely confused about who God is and what He is like.  But instead of getting angry or shrugging his shoulders and walking away, he applied his perspective as a follower of Jesus to introduce them to “an unknown God” who had the power to give them eternal life.

It’s easy for us to think that many of the stories in the Old Testament are weird, obscure and unrelated.  But, when we take a closer look at how the Old Testament is put together, we discover that it’s a collection of connected promises that are meant to help us understand the ancient past, make sense of chaos of today, and most importantly - point us to a the return of Jesus as God’s promised Me...

Life is hard and we don’t always get what we want. It’s Ok to pray and tell God what you need. There are also incredible benefits to asking God to give you the feet you need for the journey.
