Faith Church Indy

A good deed done in Jesus’ name leads to a message about Jesus being the promised Savior. Why does all this seem threatening to the authorities? What happens when the power and the message of the gospel clash with unbelief? And what does that have to do with us? Join us as we look at “The Council” from Acts 4:1-22.

Faith Stories Summer 2023 - Back to the Basics

Pastor Tom points out more parallels between the Gospel of Luke and Acts, encourages us in Bible-reading habits, and reminds us of the essential content of the Gospel.

What are the essentials of what came to be called Christianity? Following the healing of a beggar at the temple gate who was “lame form birth,” Peter addressed the gathering crowd with not only Gospel essentials, but by building a case that who Jesus is and what Jesus did is the fulfillment of the entire Jewish Scriptures. Illustrating from Abraham, Moses, Samuel, and “all the prophets” Peter declared that God’s plan of blessing for Israel and the future hope for “all the families of the earth” is centered on Jesus through his death and resurrection. Read all of Acts 3 in preparation for this message from Acts 3:11-26, The Call.

Pastor Joey shared a few things with us that he didnt get to share in his sermon, "The Beggar."

This GO time podcast is a little different than what we’ve done before. We usually interview our missionaries in the weeks leading up to their GO Time weekend and publish it just ahead of their event schedule. In this podcast, I interview Mark and Alyssa Dunker. I last interviewed them three years ago at a time when a lot of things about their ministry were up in the air, as was the whole world in 2020. Here’s a short update with the Dunkers, what they are up to next and how you can pray for them.

Will wonders never cease? It seems that way, as we watch the Peter who preached in the power of the Spirit now heal in the name of the Son. The good news that the Kingdom of God has come in Jesus the Messiah is authenticated in a miraculous healing, a healing that not only restores physical health, but spiritual health as well. Join us for “The Beggar” from Acts 3:1-10!
