We are in a series for the summer called “Deeper.” What if we consecrated all of our summers to pursuing depth with God and others? What if we chose depth instead of distraction? Summer can sometimes be a vacation not just from school but from our faith. But what if Jesus' invitation for our souls... is to come deeper? What if He wants greater closeness and greater relationship with us than we've ever had before? This summer is an invitation from Jesus into the depths.Speaker: Tyler Smith

This week guest speaker, Kevin Nunnery, teaches on Jesus as the lamb, but also the lion.

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
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 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
