The Insanity Wheel | Ep. 2 | Pastor Bob Tome

In Part 2 of The Insanity Wheel podcast mini-series, we explore how unchecked desires can lead us into destructive patterns that damage our relationship with God and others. Through passages in James 1, 2 Samuel 11–12, and 1 John 3, we examine the dangers of fixating on temptation, pursuing pleasure over obedience, and crossing the line into deliberate sin. Using the life of King David and biblical principles on temptation and accountability, this episode reveals how small compromises can become a downward spiral—but also how God's grace provides a path back. Discover practical encouragement for recognizing unhealthy patterns, taking personal responsibility, resisting temptation, and finding forgiveness and restoration through Jesus Christ. For additional context, please listen to the sermon "Insanity" from June 14, 2026. --- Livestream available Sundays at 9:30am EST at https://live.genesisyork.com/ [https://live.genesisyork.com/].

The Insanity Wheel | Ep. 1 | Pastor Bob Tome

In Part 1 of The Insanity Wheel podcast mini-series, we take a deeper look at two common struggles that can pull us into a downward spiritual and emotional spiral: aloneness and unhealthy thinking. Drawing from the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, we discover how isolation can fuel discouragement and depression, and how God lovingly leads us back toward healing through community, purpose, and healthy relationships. We also explore Philippians 4:8 and learn how renewing our minds with truth, hope, and godly thinking can help overcome worry, anxiety, and negative thought patterns. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in your thoughts, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement and reminds us that God is able to keep us from stumbling and guide us back into His light.

Relationships | 06.11.26 | Pastor Bob Tome

In this message from John 17, Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer, we explore God’s design for relationships—with the Father, with fellow believers, and with the world around us. As Jesus prepares for the cross, He prays for unity, peace, and a shared mission among His followers. This sermon challenges us to reject division, pursue reconciliation, and reflect the unity that exists within the Trinity. Discover how our relationship with God shapes our relationships with others, why Christian unity is a powerful witness to the world, and how every believer is called to live as an ambassador of Christ’s peace and gospel mission. --- Thursday Night "living room" services at Genesis are casual services with a house church feel.

Cultivating Seeds | 06.07.26 | Pastor Bob Tome

From the series "Gospel: Proclaimed Unashamed" In this message from Mark 4, Pastor Bob explores Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and challenges believers to consider the condition of the soil in their own hearts. Using the imagery of farming and gardening, he unpacks the four types of soil—hard ground, rocky ground, thorn-filled ground, and good soil—and how each responds to the Word of God. More than a lesson about personal faith, this sermon is a call to action. As followers of Christ, we are invited to help cultivate the spiritual soil of those around us through prayer, encouragement, discipleship, and sharing the gospel. Whether someone feels hardened, burned out, distracted, or ready to grow, God can transform hearts and bring lasting fruit. Discover how God uses ordinary believers to nurture spiritual growth and participate in His harvest. --- Livestream available Sundays at 9:30am EST at https://live.genesisyork.com/ [https://live.genesisyork.com/].
