Genesis Church - Carmel

Do you ever wish that you could have a do-over? Maybe you keep messing up that project at work, or you just find yourself coming up short time and time again? Kevin Russell preaches a powerful message from John 3, when Jesus had a conversation with a man who thought he was doing everything right, yet Jesus told him that he needed a new start…a new birth. The truth is, God accepts you because of what He did for you, not because of what you do for Him.

In John 2, we find a story about Jesus making a whip and clearing the temple courts, driving out money-changers and those taking advantage of the poor. What is the modern-day equivalent to Jesus’s cleansing of the temple? Since our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, we need to ask: What does Jesus need to clean out of my life?

There are so many things from life to enjoy. But when we make the things of this world our ULTIMATE source of joy, we are bound to be disappointed.    But the truth of this story, and the message that we believe John wants us to see, is that Jesus changes everything. No matter what you go through in life, Jesus is what you need. He’s our source of joy. He is the only one that can truly satisfy.  Jerry Naville continues our Grow series, as we study the life of Jesus found in the book of John.

Michael Amatuzzo wraps up our study in the first chapter of the book of John, and demonstrates that you can never deplete the Grace of God!

When it comes to knowing God and growing in our relationship with him, we all want to know how to take a next step. In John chapter 1 we learn how Jesus met his first followers, but we also find a pathway for spiritual growth that is meant to serve as a repeating pattern in our lives that can help us grow spiritually, and can also guide us as we help the people we know find their way back to God through a relationship with Jesus.

Beholding the Lamb of God is how you begin a relationship with Jesus, and beholding is also how you grow in your relationship with Jesus. When you behold the Lamb of God by faith for the very first time, you can experience his love and forgiveness as you enter an eternal life-giving relationship with God. But you can experience the love of God and eternal life today, as you behold the Lamb of God by faith daily. Whenever you are faced with sin and brokenness, beholding the Lamb of God helps you grow closer to Jesus and experience his love and forgiveness every day.

In the opening verses to his gospel, John shares a message of hope that anyone can become a child of God through faith in Jesus…the problem is that there are a few challenges that we allow to stand in our way to fully receiving that promise. Join Jerry Naville as he shares from the book of John in our series called "Grow".

We've all got areas of our life where we want to grow. At Genesis, we want 2022 to be the year when we grow in our faith and grow together as a church family. We'll be studying the Gospel of John this year. You're invited. Join us... and grow! Paul Mumaw gives an overview of the book of John as we begin our GROW series.

When we think of the Christmas story we tend to think of the long awaited fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies of a virgin giving birth to a baby in Bethlehem. But Revelation 12 tells another version of the Christmas story that helps explain why the world we are living in feels so dark! Thankfully, scripture reminds us that Jesus came that first Christmas as the true light of the world and that he will return again to conquer the darkness in our world once and for all!

Imagine what could happen, if we embraced and began to display the joy that can only be found through Jesus Christ. It would be unlike anything people have ever seen. They would come from far and wide just to see what that kind of joy is all about! Jerry Naville continues our journey through the Bible as we study from the book of Jude.

We live in a tired, worn-out, weary world. You may be feeling weary this Christmas season, and you probably have a very good reason why. Paul Mumaw shares from the book of 1 John and we discover that because Jesus came to earth and is alive today we, as followers of Jesus, can rejoice even in our weariness!

What exactly is faith? It’s easy to think of faith as something that we believe to be true or possible in our minds, but according to the writer of Hebrews it's much more than that! Carmel campus pastor, Jerry Naville, teaches that faith is more than a belief or a state of mind that we work ourselves into. True faith has substance that translates to action.

Do you ever struggle in your faith? Does your faith ever feel weak? You’re not alone. In 2 Timothy, Paul writes to his son in the faith, Timothy, who is struggling in his faith. Paul encourages Timothy by reminding him of his faith story and the story of the gospel. He calls Timothy to fan his faith into flame, and join Paul in the work of sharing Jesus with others. He encourages Timothy to focus on the reward we will receive at the end when we stand before Jesus. Let Paul’s message to Timothy, be an encouragement to you as well.

Have you ever felt like something you've believed to be true has been hijacked by misinformation, confusion, or lies? In this message, Jerry Naville shares from the book of Colossians, which the apostle Paul wrote to a group of Christians dealing with corrupted teaching about Jesus. Sometimes we don't need the latest and most popular teaching. We just need to go back to the basics.

Do you ever feel like you are searching for your identity? What makes you unique? Are you looking for your purpose? Campus Pastor Steve Wallen explores truth from the book of Ephesians as we continue in our year-long series called Planted.

Lead Pastor Paul Mumaw continues our Planted series in the book of 2 Corinthians and breaks down the writings of the Apostle Paul on giving Jesus everything in our lives.

Steve Davis, who serves on the Genesis Church elder team, shares a message about pride and humility, based on Proverbs 3:34. How do you genuinely avoid pride and live from humility?

Lead Pastor Paul Mumaw looks at the Proverbs to better seek the wisdom of the Bible in how to parent and teach our children.

Campus Pastor Steve Wallen teaches through the Proverbs 4, where we are taught to guard our heart as we grow in wisdom.

Campus Pastor Jerry Naville explores the Wisdom Books beginning with Proverbs and the Life Rules the writers outline for us in God's Word.
