FUSE College Minsitry
Sermons from FUSE College Ministry, an evangelical ministry on the campus of East Carolina University in Greenville, NC.
Join us for week 3 of Our Father as our associate pastor, Liz Brantley, gives the word! In this series we are tracking through the Lord's Prayer and navigating what a healthy prayer life should look like. Thanks for watching!
Join us for week 2 in our current series "Our Father" as we journey through the Lord's Prayer and what it practically looks like to lean in to prayer and practically walk in relationship with God.

Join us for week 3 of our sermon series, "Unfiltered" as Pastor Rob takes us deeper into a conversation on mental health.
Join us as we kick off our brand new series, Unfiltered. The goal for this next few weeks is to get very candid and real on topics people find difficult to talk about. This week, Pastor Rob begins the series by discussing what it means to live real, wholistic lives of integrity and living with Jesus as the front and center.
Ship happens. Relationships happen. Check out Pastor Rob's message on how we can work to make them better by living in community!
Rob wraps up the Philippians Series with a topic that we all struggle with in some degree. CONTENTMENT. We all have the tendency to try to fill our God shape hole in our heart with worldly things that only leave us feeling more discontent and unhappy. What are you taking in that is hurting the void that only God can fill? Dig deeper on what true contentment looks like in Christ and begin to open your heart to the truths he has for you. Because no matter what happens God can use all things, all circumstances, and all people to bring joy to us and glory to His kingdom. All we have to do is fix our eyes on the one that fills us up.
The world tends to celebrate the wrong things in big ways. But the Church tends to lack in knowing how to actually celebrated the right things in the right way. When we don't know how to rejoice in all things we become selfish in a way that takes away from others seeing the glory of God. Rob hits on key points of how to live a lifestyle of celebration, fixing your posture in the presence of God, and guarding your heart from the right things.
We are excited to finally introduce FUSE to our new college pastor, Rob Koz. We can't wait to see what God does next through Rob's leadership and direction.
We are constantly being influenced by things around us.... but are these things benefiting or hindering our relationship with God?
Our heart is for you to find a gospel-centered community but it’s not just for us... We have a calling to reach the broken and the lost.
As a student, it's common to ask the question, "What am I doing with my life?" In our new series, Josh shows us what the Bible says about God's Will for our life.

In the final week of our "Defense" series, we look at what the Bible tells us about the End Times.
What role does science play in the story of creation? What about Miracles and Dinosaurs? In week four of our "Defense" series, we look at the interconnectedness of science and faith.
Why does God allow struggles to happen in this life? Josh shares a message about dealing with struggles in our life.
How can we trust that the Bible is true? We look at what evidence there is that can support the accuracy of the Bible so that we can grow in our faith.
Our culture is shaped by personal beliefs and opinions. We have a responsibility to be prepared to make a defense about our faith when asked about our beliefs. Josh kicked off the semester by taking a look at historical references and accounts about Jesus.
Tyler Braden, Associate Pastor at Opendoor Church joined us for week two of our "One Prayer" series and discussed how to find God's rhythm for our lives and manage the pressure of this life.
Community influences our lives every day. A biblical community encourages us and points us toward Jesus.
Everything is meaningless. Or is it? Check out week 2 of “Eyes Wide Open” as Josh dives into Ecclesiastes 1 and the words of King Solomon.
We opened the Fall 2018 semester by looking at the story of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9. In order to see Jesus for who He truly is, our eyes must be opened to see Him as more than just a good teacher or prophet.
Wisdom we gain isn't for us to hoard. We shouldn't be privately shamed about our mistakes, but should share with those we love so they don't fall into the same traps we do. This week, Pastor Josh shares a message he would give to his college self.
Many of us hold a lot of bitterness toward others, even if we don't realize it. Liz shows us through the Word that bitter ain't better.
Most of us would admit that we've dealt with anxiety and stress. We can have confidence in God's promises and that He is in control of our needs.
As humans, we like to have control over our life but we never seem to have enough. The truth is that we were never created to be in control.
Technology has rapidly evolved in the past couple decades and changed our everyday life. How does this affect our relationship with the Lord and those around us?
We all have questions about what the Bible says about dating and relationships. Josh answers real questions submitted by students.
Our generation has it's own idea of a dating relationship. How do you know who is the right one and how to date the way God intended?
We must get our relationship with God right before we can ever get a relationship with a guy/girl right. Don’t miss the benefits of now because you're fixated on the benefits of then.
We kicked off the Fall 2017 semester, and our "Revival" series, by looking at the importance of the Bible, and why it should be at the foundation of who we are.
In this week of the "Working Faith" we looked at the importance of using our wealth for the Kingdom now instead of in the future. We also looked at being patient because heaven is closer than we think.
In this week of "The Working Faith", we looked at how James addresses our judgement of others. We recognized that our slander and judgement of others come from our pride within. We also saw that our lives are lived out according to God's will.
This week in James chapter 4, we saw that the quarrels among us are a result of the passions within us, that we are to ask God for the desires of His heart, and that our adultery is no match to God's grace.
Special guest Joe Cox helped us see there are two kinds of wisdom. We recognized the importance in seeking Godly wisdom instead of the wisdom of this world for our decisions.
In this week in our "Working Faith" series, we evaluated the impact our words have and how we can use them to better love others, and glorify God through them.
Saved through faith, or saved by works? Do the Apostle Paul and James teach contradicting theology? In week 5 of "A Working Faith," we dove into James 2:14-26 and discussed faith and works.
In Week 4 of "The Working Faith," we looked at James 1:26-2:13, and the importance of caring for those less fortunate and different than us.
In Week 3 of "The Working Faith" we took a look at the importance of approaching the Word of God with humility, and putting our faith into action.
In week 2 of our "The Working Faith" series, we looked at our next section of Scripture in James, and what it teaches us about temptations.
In our first week of "The Working Faith" we looked at what James says about our trials and how to endure them with joy. We also heard from Josh about what wisdom gives us in the midst of pain.
As we approach the end of the semester, we look to finish strong and make resolutions that matter
God often uses things that don't initially look like a blessing to bless us far more than we could have ever imagined. We spent some time looking at the persecution the early church faced, and how God used it for their benefit.
In light of the FUSE scattering on November 8th, we looked at the "why" behind it and how should be burdened with compassion to share the gospel with the students on campus.
In week 3 of our "Where is the Love" series, Josh answered student questions about sexuality, relationships, and God's will in them.
In Week 2 of "Where is the Love," we looked intensely at the role sex plays in our culture, as well as the physical, emotional, and spiritual implications of an unhealthy view of sex.
What does the Bible say about dating? Perhaps it's more than you think. This week we looked at how the Bible defines relationships, along with common lies we buy into regarding relationships, and practical advice when considering entering into a relationship.
Failing is not a matter of if, but when, and our fear of failure holds back from doing what we feel God calling us to do. Listen in as Josh discuss how to have faith through failure.
Anxiety, worry, and depression limit our ability to find peace and joy. In this message, Pastor Josh talks about how to handle anxiety and worry, using Philippians 4.
In week 2 of "Mission," we looked at the life of a married couple in the New Testament who demonstrated a life on mission.
In week 1 of "Mission," we took a look at the importance of carrying a burden for those around us, and having courage to bring light into the world of darkness.
We kicked off the Fall 2016 Semester by taking a look at culture, and the difference between "Christian" and "Gospel" Cultures.
When it comes to the door God is calling us to walk through, one thing is certain: It always leads to life.
Change is hard. Change is even harder when the world around us doesn't change alongside us. In this talk, Pastor Joe Cox (Campus Pastor - Covenant ECU) talks about fitting your new faith into your old life.
Using the life of David, we took a look at the importance of approaching God with boldness, in spite of any circumstances.
Psalm 118 is not only a powerful song written by David. It was quoted numerous times during the last week of Jesus' ministry, and it was the last song Jesus ever song.
Racial tension is everywhere, and is commonly an ignored and avoided topic within Christian circles. We took a deeper look at the cure for racial tension, and the best way to fight for racial reconciliation.
We were all created for a cause. As we close out our Cure and Restore series, Pastor Josh talks about the importance of attaching our lives to the cause God is leading us to.
In week three of "Cure and Restore," we took a look at the topic of Social Justice, and the role the body of Christ should play in the fight for it.
Compassion without action is pity. In week 2 of our Cure and Restore Series, Pastor Josh takes a look at what genuine compassion looks like, and the effect it plays in our life and the lives around us.
In week one of our Cure and Restore Series, Pastor Josh shared the importance of missions and how we as an organization can become more intentional and focused.
Using the story of King Asa, Pastor Jason Lineberger (Lead Pastor - Ignite Church) shares the importance of finishing well.
In Week 3 of "Unleashed," Pastor Chris Lineberger (Worship Pastor - Ignite Church) brings the message and talks about how living "unleashed" has affected his life.
How will we see a move of God on our campus? Only if we become "Unleashed" and pray for God to open doors to sharing the Gospel.
In Week 2 of our "Let Me Tell You A Story" series, Pastor Josh takes us through Luke 15...including the story of the Prodigal Son.
Our FUSE Intern, Ginny Gilmore, had the opportunity to share an incredible story from 1 Kings in our "Let Me Tell You A Story" Series.
In Week 2 of #TheStruggleIsReal, we take a look at how relationships can often be an idol in our life. And how even sometimes the pursuit of a relationship or the longing for romance can be an idol that distracts us from God.
Let's be real, when it comes to dating and relationships, often times the struggle is real. In week one, Pastor Josh takes a look at practical steps and advice for living for Christ in a season of singleness.
Doing it right means being in the light. Using another story of Jesus, Pastor Jason Lineberger (Lead Pastor at Ignite Church) walks us through the importance of law, love, and grace.
The Christian life is supposed to be a life full of joy. All to often though, we treat Christianity with the completely wrong mindset. If you are viewing Christianity with a legalistic heart, you're doing it wrong.
As we kickoff the 2015-2016 year, we took a fresh look at why our organization exists. What is the goal? What/Who are we all about? For more information about FUSE, check out www.ecufuse.com or follow us on twitter/instagram at @ecufuse.
