If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comPhilippians 3 Believers are urged to rejoice in the Lord and be cautious of those who rely on rituals like circumcision, putting confidence in the flesh. Though he once had many reasons to boast—his heritage, zeal, and obedience to the law—Paul now sees all of it as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Disciples are encouraged to pursue a righteousness that comes through faith, not through works of the Law. Paul tells them he has not reached perfection but is pressing to know Christ fully. He challenges them to forget what lies behind and strain toward what is ahead. Their true citizenship is in heaven, and they should live as those eagerly waiting for Christ, who will transform their bodies into His likeness by His great power.   Our value does not come from our achievements, status, or past actions, but from knowing Christ. Like Paul, we must let go of anything we once considered gain and see it as loss compared to the joy of walking with Jesus. We are called to stop striving for righteousness purely through our efforts and instead flourish in the righteousness that comes by faith. As we grow, we should not dwell on the past, whether failures or successes, but press forward purposefully. Our eyes should be set on the eternal prize, not on temporary things. We are citizens of heaven, and our lives should reflect that identity. We must pursue Christ with humility and a heart eager for His return.  Glorious Lord, help us understand that our salvation is found in You, not in our accomplishments or perfection. Lead us to surrender to Christ, live faithfully to Him, and glorify Him as our source of righteousness. Please give us the strength to let go of any part of our past that did not prioritize Jesus. Guide us to look ahead to a life that pursues the calling voice of our Savior, following the examples of faithful men and women throughout the ages. Fill our hearts with a yearning for heaven and great anticipation for new and eternal spiritual bodies.   Thought Questions: Regarding religious accomplishments, what are some things you may put confidence in instead of Christ? Why is this a mistake? What are you willing to leave behind to prioritize “knowing Christ Jesus”? Why must some things be “counted as loss” to be faithful? How often do you think about heaven and the change to come? How does this hope help you keep your mind off carnal, earthly things?

"Disciple Making Culture" is an in-depth episode focusing on the journey and principles behind creating a thriving, disciple-making church culture. The conversation begins with the speakers, a father and son duo who planted a church in 2004 near St. Louis, sharing their experiences of church growth and the subsequent planting of other churches. A pivotal moment comes when a mentor, Bobby, recognizes the importance of their deliberate culture and urges them to protect it. The speakers emphasize the distinction between a church with disciple makers and a disciple-making church. They outline key principles, starting with crystallizing what it means to be a disciple and ensuring all church leaders are on the same page. They argue that a clear, biblical definition of discipleship aids in shaping a culture where making disciples is central. Following this, they stress the importance of integrating discipleship from the very beginning of the conversion process. They describe a structured approach where new believers are taken through studies to ingrain the principles of discipleship deeply from the start, emphasizing that every member is expected to be a disciple and a disciple maker. The discussion highlights the necessity of accountability and modeling by leaders. Leaders are called to be examples, not just instructors, as hypocrisy among leaders can severely damage the church's mission. Celebrating successes and correcting drifts are also crucial to maintaining the church's culture, ensuring that minor deviations do not become major issues. The speakers share personal anecdotes to illustrate their points, including the transformation of individuals through dedicated discipleship and the impact of a supportive church culture on their own families. They mention the importance of creating systems and rhythms that reinforce discipleship, using events, retreats, and conferences to keep the focus on disciple-making. Ultimately, the episode underscores the challenges and rewards of maintaining a disciple-making culture. It highlights that while such a structure might limit church growth in terms of numbers, it profoundly impacts the quality of spiritual growth and commitment among members. The conversation reflects a passionate plea for churches to return to biblical principles of discipleship, emphasizing intentionality, accountability, and the power of community in fostering lasting spiritual transformation.

    This morning, as we celebrate the official start of the programmatic year with Kickoff Sunday, our worship will be centered on the Book of Acts. In Acts 6, we read about a grievance brought by the Hellenists against the Hebrews in the early church: the Hellenist widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. In response, the Disciples instructed the community to choose seven individuals known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom to take on this responsibility. This moment is widely recognized as the calling of the first deacons of the church—a pivotal step in ensuring that both the physical and spiritual needs of the community were met, even as the Disciples continued to preach the Good News of the Gospel throughout the region. Sermon on Acts 6:1-7, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on September 7th, 2025.

    Genesis Church - Sermons

    Farming during the harvest is hard work. It is so much easier for farmers to sit at McDonald’s with a group to drink coffee and tell farming stories. But, any farmer knows the season of harvest is the whole purpose and goal for farming. Therefore, they watch the field, and when the crops are brown and the grain is ripe, farmers get to the fields. Followers of Jesus are a type of farmer. The first small group, the 12 Disciples, were asked by Jesus to pray for workers that would go into the harvest. Then Jesus sends them into the fields, as an extension of His mission and proclaiming His Kingdom. They become the answer to their own prayers, and Jesus empowers this small community to love and reach the people in their culture. This is also our purpose: to be Gospel shaped and formed communities on mission. Our groups are not just farmers sipping coffee around a table.
