Jesus on DisplayS6:01 | Breathing Life into the Next GenerationLet's kick off season 6 of this podcast by raising some important statistics and questions! We are in one of the most significant spiritual declines in recently recorded history. Sociologists and groups like Barna, Pew, and Springtide Research are all keeping a close watch on the trajectory of faith within the next generation, and the numbers are alarming. 70 percent (and growing) of young people are walking away from their faith in their 20s. These are not youth who have heard the Gospel once long ago. These are children raised in Christian homes, regular church attendees, mission trip goers, and Jesus-professing...2024-08-0745 minFellowship Greenville (Audio)2024 Standalone Sermons: Next Generation SundaySpeaker: Matt Densky2024-08-0445 minJesus on DisplayS5:05 | Holding Fast to the Sacrificial LambWhat are we to do with the escalating judgments that were revealed to John in Revelation 8-11?*This episode is an excerpt taken from Matt Densky’s message, “The Seven Trumpets.” Find the full sermon on our website at fellowshipgreenville.org/sermons!Speaker: Matt Densky2024-06-2145 minFellowship Greenville (Audio)The Revelation of Jesus Christ: The Seven TrumpetsSpeaker: Matt Densky2024-06-1645 minJesus on DisplayS4:15 | Embracing Jesus as KingJesus didn’t come to overthrow Rome but to overthrow death.

FG Students (MS)Our Father: God is SovereignHey guys! Welcome to the Fellowship Greenville Students podcast. This week, one of our student interns, Trevan Rice, taught on God being sovereign. When life gets messy, it can be hard to feel God or know that he is still in control. Recognizing him as sovereign in all things helps us see that he never leaves us or forsakes us and is always working for our good. We hope you enjoy the message. Speaker: Matt Densky2022-08-1045 minFG Students (HS)Run It Back: Peace and AnxietyWe all want peace, but tend to think of peace as the absence of difficult circumstance.

Jesus shows us that He and He alone is the source of true hope. Speaker: Matt Densky2022-06-1645 minFG Students (HS)Run It Back: FearThis 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 Densky2022-06-1345 minFG Students (HS)Standalone Sermons: United Night - Is Jesus Enough?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 Densky2022-05-2645 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Life in the SpiritOur 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 Densky2022-05-1945 minFG Students (MS)Read Scripture: Responding to the WordThis week guest speaker Matt Densky kicks off our new series by teaching on the parable of the sower. Matt illustrates the different kinds of responses that are possible to the word of God and challenges us not just to receive the word, but let it take root in our lives. Speaker: Matt Densky2022-05-1245 minFG Students (HS)Standalone Sermons: I Have DoubtsThis 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 Densky2022-04-2645 minFG Students (HS)The Way: SabbathFollow 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 Densky2022-03-3145 minFG Students (HS)The Way: FastingThis 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 Densky2022-03-1645 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Prayer part 2This week we continue to 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 Densky2022-03-0245 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Silence and Solitude part 2This 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 Densky2022-02-0945 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Silence and SolitudeThis 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...2022-02-0145 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Embracing His LifestyleThis week we continue to look at what it means to practice the ways of out master, Jesus. We dig into his statement found in John 10:10 about offering life to the fullest and ask questions around what it means to experience that life. What we discover is that we will never truly experience the life Jesus offers unless we embrace the lifestyle Jesus modeled. Well how do we do that? It all begins with remaining in him.Speaker: Matt Densky2022-01-2545 minFG Students (HS)The Way: Practicing The Way of Jesus : The Good SoilThis week we begin a new series where we look at what it means to practice the way of Jesus. As followers of Jesus, what does it mean to orient our life around His ways of living and begin to put them into practice as our ways of living? It all begins with not just hearing the word of God, but applying it… or in other words, putting it into practice. Follow along as we study Jesus’ parable of the four soils and his teaching on what growth and fruit look like.Speaker: Matt Densky2022-01-1145 minFG Students (HS)Standalone Sermons: AnxietyThis week is a stand alone message focusing on anxiety. We look at a passage in Matthew 14 and we observe Jesus as a non anxious person in circumstances that would make most of us feel overwhelmed. How did Jesus maintain this sense of calm? By observing the ways of Jesus we extract 5 principles from this passage that can help us live more non anxious lives. Speaker: Matt Densky2021-11-2445 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: Q&A with Jim ThompsonThis week we conclude our Heaven and Earth series with a live Q&A.

New Earth.This week we conclude our series by looking at the end of the Biblical narrative. We see Jesus making a new Heaven and New Earth and the future forever with God which will be what He has always designed life to be – a harmonious friendship with Him unspoiled by the presence of evil. The imagery and language of Revelation takes us all the way back to where we began in the garden of Eden. However, the Kingdom of God is not something that we passively wait for, it is something that we actively contribute towards. Give this message a li...2021-10-2645 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: The Temple: Meeting God’s Presence on EarthThis week we take a deep dive into the Biblical theme of Temple – the place where people meet the presence of God. Beginning in the very first few pages of Genesis we see that God has made his presence available to His people though the means of a temple, but please don’t mistake that as simply a physical building somewhere. Take a listen to this episode and see how the location and structure of temple evolved over time and what it looks like today for people to meet the presence of God.Speaker: Matt Densky2021-10-2045 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: What is God Doing About Evil?This week Matt explores further the story of how evil and corruption continued to spread and climaxed in Genesis 11 in the story of the Tower of Babel, but also how God gives us a solution to this in Acts 2. We will learn what God’s plan for evil is, how we are invited in to be a part of the healing process, and how we to contribute to the creation of good of this world by sharing the hope of Jesus.Speaker: Matt Densky2021-10-1245 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: The Beginnings of EvilHave you ever looked at the earth and come to the conclusion that something is broken? This week we examine the origins of evil by looking at the rebellion against God, both in the Heavenly realm and the earthly. We come to understand that the serpent had a very specific strategy of temptation for Adam and Eve that he is still using today and we also see how Jesus began to heal the chaos created through the rebellion.Speaker: Matt Densky2021-09-2945 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: God above us. God among us.This week, Matt talks about trusting God and feeling God. We look at verses in Genesis 1-2 and Psalm 113, looking at how God creates order from chaos, defines good and evil, and created us and loves us. Matt talks about how the God who is far above us has made his home among us so that we can rule and rest with Him forever.Speaker: Matt Densky2021-09-2345 minFG Students (HS)Heaven and Earth Collide: The Great Story of the BibleThis week, Matt opened up our new series, Heaven and Earth Collide, and gives an overview of misconceptions about Heaven, Hell, and how God creates Heaven on Earth. We look at Mark 1, Genesis 1-3 and Revelation 21 to dig deeper into these concepts. Speaker: Matt Densky2021-09-2345 min

Matt talks about the conditional follower and reminds us that Jesus doesn’t fit into the box we want him to, or follow our conditions. We look at John 12:12-15 and then John 19:14-16, comparing how the same crowd shouting “Hosanna!” Is also shouting “Crucify him!” Later, when Jesus didn’t fit into their box, and how we can do the same.Speaker: Matt Densky2021-03-3145 minFG Students (HS)Follower: Wk. 2This week, Matt Densky continues our series called “Follower” where we will be navigating what it means to be a fully committed follower of Jesus.
