Summer of Simplicity // Worship - Carl Meese

This week at Genesis, we continue our Summer of Simplicity series with a message on worship. Centered on 2 Samuel 6, this sermon reflects on David’s undignified worship, the presence of God at the center, and how true worship is less about performance and more about presence, dependency, and alignment with who God is. From personal stories to honest reflections on worship, this message invites us to reimagine worship as a daily life of agreement with God—not just a Sunday song.

Daniel // A Prophetic People - Kai Kiaha

This week at Genesis, Kai unpacks the reality of spiritual warfare through the lens of Daniel 10, reminding us that every decision to follow God is a decision to engage in battle.

Daniel // The Art of Creating a Future - Chris Wienand

This week at Genesis, Chris dives deeper into the life of Daniel as a prophetic model for today. This message challenges us to grow in our character with God, embrace the cost of obedience, and tune our hearts to God’s voice as we step into the future He’s preparing.
