Genesis Church Podcast

In the final episode of his series on giving, Pastor Bob examines the contrasting examples of Barnabas and Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 4–5. Through their stories, he highlights the importance of generosity, obedience, and keeping our commitments to God. 

Giving is more than a financial transaction—it is an expression of worship, a reflection of our hearts, and a way to care for others and advance God’s Kingdom. Pastor Bob challenges us to reevaluate our giving, put God first, and consider how we can use what He has entrusted to us to reach people for Christ and strengthen His church.

In James 2:8–13, Pastor Bob explores what it truly means to love God and love others. Through three principles—the law of love, the law of partiality, and the law of measuring—he challenges us to examine our relationships, recognize the dangers of favoritism and judgment, and put biblical love into action. 

Loving others begins with a healthy relationship with God and requires us to look beyond ourselves, even when love is uncomfortable. Ultimately, our words and actions should reflect the mercy, grace, and love that Christ has shown us.

In 1 Peter 2:4–12, we discover that following Jesus means far more than simply sitting on the sidelines. Jesus is the living cornerstone, and those who believe in Him become living stones, being built together into a spiritual house. As a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and ambassadors for Christ, we each have a unique role and spiritual gifts to contribute to the body of Christ. 

Pastor Bob challenges us to embrace who we are in Christ, live lives marked by holiness, and represent Him well in the world around us. Our faith should be more than a Sunday routine—it should be a living testimony that points others to Jesus.

In this second episode of his series on giving, Pastor Bob explores biblical principles that shape how we give. Drawing from Scripture, he explains that giving is an act of worship and stewardship, not obligation or pressure. 

Believers are encouraged to give cheerfully, sacrificially, generously, and proportionally, without seeking recognition. By putting God first with the resources He has provided, we can support the work of the church, care for others, and advance God’s Kingdom in our communities and around the world.

In John 11, Pastor Bob explores the relationship between grief and the hope of resurrection through the story of Jesus raising Lazarus. As we mourn the loss of loved ones, we’re reminded that Jesus understands our pain, walks with us through our sorrow, and offers the promise of eternal life. 

Through heartfelt testimonies honoring three beloved members of the Genesis Church family, this message encourages us to support one another, remember those who have impacted our lives, and find hope in Jesus, who declares, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Death does not have the final word—Jesus holds the keys to death and the grave, and in Him, we have victory and the promise of eternity.

In this message, Pastor Bob explores how God’s light can transform our lives, strengthen our families, and draw us closer to Him. Using 1 John 1:5–9, he challenges us to move beyond simply checking off spiritual boxes and become true disciples who keep God’s Word at the center of everyday life. 

Joined by Pastor Rob and Jordan from Word of Life, he discusses the importance of parents and grandparents passing on their faith, prioritizing family devotions, and supporting one another through life’s struggles. No matter our family circumstances or past mistakes, God offers forgiveness, restoration, and a community of believers ready to walk alongside us.

In this message from 1 Peter 1:22–2:3, Pastor Bob explores how the gospel transforms the way we love others and live out our faith. He challenges believers to move beyond superficial friendship to the sacrificial, Christlike love described in 1 Corinthians 13. That means putting away hypocrisy, envy, deceit, malice, and slander while allowing God’s Word to nourish and strengthen us. 

As we grow in our understanding of God’s goodness and the sacrifice Jesus made for us, we’re called to live with genuine love, humility, and authenticity in our everyday relationships.
