Element Student Ministry | FBC Marietta

Sam, a local Marietta pastor our students love from Christ the Redeemer, speaks to us about JOY in the Lord. Listen to a great message on the end of Philippians as we close our series this Mission Marietta.

Daniel, a good friend of great faith to Bryon, steps up to preach on Philippians 3! He calls us to live a life of joy only found in the Gospel. Sadly, we were unable to capture the audio from Jonathan's Weaver service on Night 2 about Philippians 2, but this sermon builds off of the previous one to continue our series.

Kicking us off in our series on JOY this Mission Marietta, Bryon sets up and unpacks Philippians 1 to help us see how Paul points us to what our life in the Gospel looks like, how to love the Gospel, and how to live out the Gospel while keeping joy. Get ready for an amazing series through Philippians!

On Graduation Sunday 2026, Bryon reminds us that even through our graduates are going from one school to their next step, none of us as Christians ever truly graduate from the School of Love that is our walk with Jesus. We just continue returning to the cross to receive love, be transformed by it, and share it as we head into eternity. "The cross of Christ is the School of Love." - St. M...

As we close our series this semester wrestling with your questions, our small group leaders step up to show you how to wrestle with questions while trusting in the Lord as you seek Jesus - the answer to them all. While we weren't able to get to all questions and ended our series, this marks the beginning of lifelong conversations you will have navigating these topics with the Lord and communit...

With the Word of God as our guide, we navigate through the last topics of our Questions series as we wrestle with the reality of hell, suffering, and evil. By unpacking these three topics through the two stories of Lazarus that we get in Scripture, we find that the one answer to address all of these three is found in one person: Jesus Christ. Learn with us about how what we believe about these thi...

Unpacking the Word, we continue our series grappling with the struggle of anxiety and other mental health issues . Jesus offers us his peace in the midst of these struggles. Listen in as we learn more about Jesus' heart behind his message for us to not be anxious.

Jumping into 1 John 4, we continue our series wrestling with the topic of love, it's many forms, and what that means for us as Christians in today's culture . Starting with the reality that God is love, we shape our understanding on how to receive and share love in different ways. Join us as we learn more about love.

In John 7, Jesus gives us a clear picture of the Trinity and emphasizes why we must know each of the persons of the Trinity. He even emphasizes the Holy Spirit at the end. Listen to how Jesus utilizes this Big Moment at the Feast of Tabernacles!

Diving into Hebrews 4:11-13, we open our series with wrestling about if the Bible is true. What we discover in our wrestling is that the bible certainly is, but most importantly, it is living and active unlike any other religious text. Our response to that reality, whether we submit our wrestling, questions, and everything else in our lives to the authority of God's Word, will change our reali...

Before a new year, everyone rushes to make resolutions to change. What if the only resolution you made is to slow down and be changed by the invitation to rest as a child of God and a student of the Way of Jesus? Jesus' invitation is offered to us in Matthew 11!

Boaz and Ruth show us wisdom on the threshing floor, and how our Redeemer, Jesus, is nearer to us than we realize. Our series on The Way of Wisdom continues as we get closer to finishing the story and book of Ruth.

We are diving deeper into the book of Ruth to learn practical ways from the text HOW to apply wisdom. Our series on The Way of Wisdom continues through the story of Ruth and a new character, Boaz, in order for the both of them to point us to Jesus and Jesus' Way of life.

After laying the foundation for WHAT wisdom is, we now turn to the book of Ruth in our series to learn practical ways from the text HOW to apply wisdom. The story of Ruth begins in hopelessness, but in her pursuit of God's Way of Wisdom, the story offers a glimpse of hope that is only found in God and pursuing God's Way with God's people. Let's pursue wisdom together.

In Hebrews, the writers urges us to respond to the reality of Jesus with worship, and gives us practical ways to do so. We can respond with worship because God is faithful and the same yesterday, today, and forever!

This Fall semester, Element will learn about the Way of Wisdom that Jesus offers us to follow by exploring the first and last chapter of Proverbs, spending devotional time through the whole book, and studying the book of Ruth. Bryon closes our time together in Proverbs by unpacking Proverbs 31 in order to set us up for success to see how Ruth embodies wisdom and applies it to her own life...and ho...

This Fall semester, Element will learn about the Way of Wisdom that Jesus offers us to follow by exploring the first and last chapter of Proverbs, spending devotional time through the whole book, and studying the book of Ruth. Bryon kicks off our series in Proverbs 1 by giving us the lenses we need to navigate the Way of Wisdom.

After a great week at Mission Marietta 2025, Bryon recaps all that we talked about through Matthew 7:13-29. Looking through the narrative of the whole bible and this last part of the Sermon on the Mount, we learn here that Jesus offers us an invitation to walk with Him and follow His Way of life. Are you following The Way?

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus leaves his audience then and us today with a choice on what way of life we can pursue. After the crowds listened to Jesus, they responded by being amazed by His teaching AND authority, and so they followed His Way. What Way are you following?

Brandon led us through the next section of this last part of the Sermon on the Mount, and he talked about how Jesus' Way is the Way that leads to your life being on a firm foundation. What are you building your life on?

Haley taught on Night 2 of Mission Marietta 2025 about how we will encounter (or become) false teachers (wolves in sheep's clothing) on the Way of life that is hard. She showed us how we can live our lives thinking we are going down the right path, but be told by Jesus to depart from Him because He doesn't know us. Who are YOU becoming, and is it someone KNOWN by Jesus?

Bryon opened up Mission Marietta 2025 by introducing our series "The Way." We learned that there is a decision that we have to make between two ways of life, and how Jesus offers us the best way. What choice will you make between the ways offered?
