Light vs. Darkness | 05.17.26 | Pastor Bob Tome

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/].

Shavuot | 05.24.26 | Pastor Bob Tome

This Memorial Day message explores the meaning of Pentecost from both the Old and New Testaments, showing how God’s call to thankfulness, holiness, and mission continues today. Beginning in Leviticus and moving through Acts 2 and John 4, the sermon highlights Pentecost as a celebration of harvest, newness, and the power of the Holy Spirit poured out on believers.  Pastor Bob challenges the church to move beyond simply attending services and instead live as Spirit-filled witnesses who care for the poor, share the gospel, and serve their communities with compassion and boldness. Through the examples of the early church and Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well, listeners are reminded that God still uses ordinary people to reach others with extraordinary grace. --- Livestream available Sundays at 9:30am EST at https://live.genesisyork.com/ [https://live.genesisyork.com/].

How Satan Affects Our World | Ep. 2 on Spiritual Battles | Pastor Bob Tome

In this second episode of a 3-part mini-series on spiritual battles, Pastor Bob dives deeper into the reality of spiritual warfare by examining who Satan is according to Scripture. Drawing from passages in Ezekiel, Isaiah, Job, Ephesians, and Revelation, the episode explores Satan’s origin, his fall from heaven, his activity in the world today, and the many names the Bible uses to describe him—accuser, deceiver, tempter, destroyer, and more. Listeners are reminded that while spiritual battles are real and the enemy is powerful, the victory belongs to Jesus Christ through His blood and the truth of God’s Word. This episode offers biblical insight, encouragement for those facing spiritual oppression, and hope through the power and authority of Christ.
