FG Students (MS)

This week, our guest speaker Tyler Smith continues our summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life on Mission. Tyler talks about knowing and enjoying and pursuing Jesus, and inviting others along, too. We looked at Mark 2:1-12 and how the paralytic man’s friends were willing to get their friend to Jesus, no matter what. That was their mission! Our walk with Jesus should overflow with us wanting to invite others into that love and relationship with have with Him.

This week, Matt, Dallas, Rachel and a few guests wrap up our summer series, “Disciple,” and talk through questions related to this series! This panel answers the question, “What did you wish you had known in middle or high school?” and then talks through what life with Jesus, life in community, and life on mission looked like in their lives back then and what it looks like now.

This week, Dallas Greenaway continues our summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life on Mission. Dallas talks about God’s mission and how our lives should bring God glory through everything we do. We look at 1 Corinthians 10:31 and how everything works together for the glory of God. Dallas challenges us to live a life worth imitating and to look at our lives to see if we are bringing God glory in all areas.

This week, Matt Densky continues our summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life in Community. Matt talks about John 13:34-35 and how Jesus models agape love. He talks about how Jesus calls us to love others as He has loves us, and then walks through four ways we can have agape love in our relationships: trust, communication, commitment and integrity. Matt challenges us to put these four into practice in our own friendships and relationships!

This week, Dallas Greenaway continues our summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life in Community. Dallas talks to us about Philippians 2:1-11, and how in Godly community we should be united together, count others higher than ourselves, and do nothing from selfishness. He talks about how this is countercultural, and asks how our lives would be different if we were more concerned with serving God and others, rather than ourselves.

This week, Dallas Greenaway opens up our Summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life with Jesus. Dallas talks about how you are a disciple of the people and things that influence you and asked who or what is influencing US right now? We looked at Matthew 4:18-22 and looked at the disciple’s life with Jesus. Dallas talks about how a disciple of Jesus is someone who accepts the invitation to: follow Him, become like Him, and pass on to others what you’ve learned from Him.

This week, Matt Densky continues our Summer series, “Disciple,” and talks about Life with Jesus. Matt opens up with an activity that relates to how we can see our relationship with Jesus as monotoned and boring, and how we commonly ask, “Is this all there is?” We look at Acts 4:1-13 where Peter and John went from fear filled to faith filled. They were recognized in verse 13 as “having been with Jesus” by their actions and words and Matt challenges us to ask if others say this about us. Do our words and actions show that we’ve been with Jesus?

This week, Brentley Williams continues our “10 Practices” series, where we will be talking about 10 daily and weekly practices that can define our faith and bring growth in our life. Brentley talks about creation this week and how creation brings healing to our minds and souls and reveals the character of our Creator! We look at Romans 1:19-20 and Psalm 19:1-4 and how God reveals Himself through what He has made. Brentley talks about the 3 benefits of creation: a sense of calm, a sense of scale, and a better understanding of God.

This week, Matt Densky finishes up our “10 Practices” series, where we will be talking about 10 daily and weekly practices that can define our faith and bring growth in our life. Matt talks about gratitude this week and how important it is to thank God daily for what He’s blessed us with. We look at Luke 17 verses 11-19, where Jesus heals ten lepers, and only one returns to give Him thanks. Matt talks about how giving thanks daily brings our posture: back (remembering where we came from), up (giving worship to God), down (humbling us) and forward (bringing contentment and joy moving forward).

This week, Rachel Bailer continues our “10 Practices” series, where we will be talking about 10 daily and weekly practices that can define our faith and bring growth in our life. Rachel talks about worship this week, specifically encouraging FG Students to join in on times of corporate worship! Jesus and his disciples give an example of corporate worship / singing together in Mark 14:26, and we should follow this example of pausing in our busy lives to worship God the Father. She talks about how worship renews our faith and restores our joy!
