In this week’s message from Acts 2:42–47, Pastor Bob unpacks God’s “formulas” for a healthy church—teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Just as formulas in science and math produce reliable results, these biblical practices bring spiritual growth, unity, and transformation when consistently lived out. Through stories of community impact, missions partnerships, and baptisms, we’re reminded that God moves powerfully when...
In this special service, Genesis Church gathered to grieve recent community tragedies and honor the lives of fallen police officers. Pastor Bob reminded us from Scripture that when one member suffers, we all suffer, and that Christ calls His church to compassion, action, and love. Drawing from Mark 6, he challenged us to see the needs around us, care for others, and step toward those who are hurting with the compassion of Jesus. Gu...
In this heartfelt message, Pastor Bob leads Genesis Church through a time of prayer, reflection, and encouragement following the recent tragedy in North Codorus Township.

Through testimonies, Scripture, and prayer, the church family comes together to find hope, healing, and strength in...
In this week’s message, Pastor Bob reflects on the true meaning of sacrifice—not just giving money or serving, but fully surrendering ourselves to God first. Drawing from Jesus’ example in the Garden of Gethsemane, he shows how sacrificial living means seeking the Father’s will above our own, walking with others in unity, and living with humility rather than boasting. The message ties in lessons from 9/11, the “Greatest Generation,...
In this message, we explore what it means to ask and believe as Jesus teaches in Scripture. Drawing from passages in Matthew, Mark, James, and 1 Peter, we’re reminded that God calls us to bring our questions, desires, and needs before Him—not for selfish gain, but to draw near to His heart. Pastor Phil unpacks the story of the rich young ruler, the bold request of James and John, and the lessons of faith, forgiveness, and trust in ...
Legacy Message Series: Revelation

From the series "Unity In The Body: A Study of Ephesians"
In this message from Ephesians 3, we’re reminded that the mystery of the gospel has been revealed—through Jesus Christ, both Jews and Gentiles are now fellow heirs, members of one body, and partakers of God’s promises. The sermon emphasizes that it is not through our wisdom, strength, or performance that we know God, but through the revelation of the Holy Spirit and...
In this message from Mark 2:14–17, we are reminded that Jesus came for the traitor, the sick, and the sinner—and that includes us. Pastor Rob challenges us to look beyond ourselves, share the gospel as we go, and care deeply for the souls around us. Through prayer, investment, and invitation, we can live in a way that shows our community that we truly see and care for them, just as Christ has done for us.
