In the midst of sin our tendency is to hide from God, but His pattern is to seek out His children. Shame can rule our life if we let it, but the story of the Bible is not just that God seeks His hiding children, but begins to work in them from the inside out.Speaker: Matt Densky

Our kick-off to the year! Matt teaches us that everyone has a place to belong in the family of God and that Jesus created belonging as people were on the journey of discovering what it means to believe in Him. No matter where you’re at, you have a place to belong.Speaker: Matt Densky

We all want peace, but tend to think of peace as the absence of difficult circumstance. Jesus teaches it’s the presence of His Spirit. Follow along as we take an in depth look at anxiety and how to reframe our perspective when we’re in the midst of worries.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we look at the concept of dating. We learn the four cultural pillars of dating and how unhealthy they are and we learn four biblical principles of dating and how they set us up for success within our relationships.Speaker: Matt Densky

A dinner party with Jesus and a Pharisee gets interrupted by a prostitute. Jesus offers grace, compassion, and dignity. The religious leader offers judgement, assumptions, and separation.Speaker: Matt Densky

Jesus heals a man by the pool of Bethesda who, due to his circumstances, might be convinced that he has no hope. Jesus shows us that He and He alone is the source of true hope. Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we look at the concept of fear. What does Jesus have to say to us in our fear? How should we respond when life seems terrifying? How do we move forward when we are frozen in fear? We study the disciples in the midst of a hurricane and see how even the most seasoned of fishermen were terrified, how they let their fear lead them to conclusions about Jesus, and how Jesus responds to it all.Speaker: Matt Densky

Hey everyone and welcome back to the Fellowship Greenville student ministry podcast. This week Matt Densky is challenging us to examine our hearts and identify the one thing that we usually withhold from Jesus. We study the story of the rich young ruler and observe that often times we’re willing to give Jesus most things, but not the one thing that we place the most value on. The question on the table is, “Jesus is good, but do you consider him good enough to give him all?” We hope you enjoy this message!Speaker: Matt Densky

This week guest speaker, JJ Bunney teaches us from Philippians 2 about doing everything without complaining or grumbling. We learn that complaining and gratitude cannot exist side by side.Speaker: JJ Bunney

Our lives can often feel dark, chaotic, and lifeless. That’s exactly where the Spirit can remain. This week we look at John 14 and Jesus’ teaching about the Spirit, but understand it through the lens of Jewish context. We first see God’s spirit in the book of Genesis 1:2 remaining in the midst of darkness, chaos, and lifelessness. It is in that context that the Spirit of God can bring light, order, and life.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week special guest Jim Thompson is teaching us about the practice of reading the Bible. In the life of Jesus, the practice of knowing Scripture was as regular as breathing. Jim gives us various snapshots from the Bible to help us understand the value and the power of incorporating Scripture into our lives as a regular practice.Speaker: Jim Thompson

This week we look at the story of the disciples shortly after Easter. They are rejoicing about Jesus coming back from the dead. Everyone except for Thomas. Thomas has questions and doubts about the whole thing and the faith of his friends is not enough to persuade him. He needs his own questions answered. Follow along as we navigate the road of doubts and learn what to do when we have them and how Jesus responds to us in the midst of them.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week, Morgan, our Students Small Group Coordinator here at FGS, shares a bit about her journey through faith. She talks about growing up with a comfortable lifestyle, how she feared change and leaving her comforts, and how she found herself living complacently. Listen and be encouraged as she tells of the Lord tuning her heart to His voice and the freedom found in contentment over complacency.Speaker: Morgan Cline

Follow along with us as we look at one of the most overlooked commandments of Scripture: the idea of stopping. This week we look at multiple places throughout the Bible and come to five conclusions on what Sabbath is meant to be. In a culture that’s as overworked, over committed, and anxious as ours, the idea of resting is one of the most appealing concepts that God invites us into, but few of us ever actually practice it. Join us as we navigate the concept of rest.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we are looking at the lost practice of fasting. Even though this one might seem unusual to us, it was actually a regular practice throughout the early church and was only lost in recent years. Follow along as we look at what it is, what it’s not, and why we would incorporate this practice into our lives.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we continue to look at the practice of prayer and what Jesus taught about it. Together, we’ll study the back half of the Lord’s prayer as we ask the question, “Is it ok to ask God for what we want?” Follow along as we continue to learn how to practice the ways of our master, Jesus, and experience life to the fullest.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we look at the practice of prayer and what Jesus taught about it. Specifically, we study what is often referred to as the Lord’s prayer, confront four common misconceptions about prayer, and arrive at four conclusions about what prayer really is. Follow along as we continue to learn how to practice the ways of our master, Jesus, and experience life to the fullest.Speaker: Matt Densky

Hey guys! Welcome to the Fellowship Greenville Students podcast. This week we gathered for one of our United Nights. These are nights of worship where middle and high school joins together to lift high the name of Jesus. Dallas Greenaway encouraged and challenged us with a message from 1 John 4 on the love of God. We hope you enjoy the message!Speaker: Dallas Greenaway

This week we look at the practice of silence and solitude from the angle of emotional health. We learn from the Old Testament prophet, Elijah, that part of our emotional growth and healing includes going into the desolate places to meet God. Want to better understand your feelings? Want to better understand how God cares for you? Want to know your next step? A better clarity is gained when we regularly meet God in the silence and solitude.Speaker: Matt Densky

This week we look at our first practice, silence and solitude. We discover that this was not a one off event in the life of Jesus but it was woven into the very fabric of his humanity and how he approached life. It seems like the more in demand Jesus was, the more He would withdraw into silence and solitude with the Father. This may be the most important, yet elusive of all the practices for us in our modern world of rush. Listen along as we learn how to begin this practice in our lives and begin to find stillness for our souls.Speaker: Matt Densky
