Faith Church Indy

The end of each year marks the beginning of a new one. Is it any wonder we celebrate, we throw a party, we host a feast? Jesus does the same, telling his disciples that at the end of the world, a feast will mark the beginning of new, eternal life. Join us for “The Feast at the End of the World” from Matthew 26:26-29!

Christmas Eve Sermon 2022

Pastor Jeff wraps up our Advent series and frames the holiday for us in this episode of Cut for Time.

John says that from Jesus’ fullness we have all received grace upon grace. It’s an image of Jesus’ incarnation like an overflowing cup that’s the source of all blessings which becomes the center of your life. Join us for “Grace and Truth” from John 1:14-18.

We talk about what it's like to preach from a single verse, something we rarely do at Faith and Pastor Jeff has a good challenge for us this season.

John has introduced us to the Word, the God who is source of all light and life and who made all things. Now this Word becomes a human. What would that look like? Why would God do that? And what difference does that make in our lives? Join us as we look at “The Word Became Flesh” from John 1:14.

Pastor Jeff chats about the juggling act that was last Sunday and what he's considered since preaching now that he's had more time to sit with the passage!

The opening verses of the Gospel of John introduce us to Jesus without mentioning his name until verse 17. He is the eternal Word who was there "in the beginning." He is the "true Light" shining in the dark world. He was unrecognized and unwelcomed by those for whom He came. Yet, for those who welcome Him, He offers new birth and the privilege of becoming "children of God." Join us as we have the witness of John the Baptist and are introduced to the heart of why Jesus came to this world, to invite us to believe Him and receive eternal life.

Pastor Joey summarizes the first sermon of our Advent series and answers some really great questions submitted from listeners!

In the beginning,” John says, “was the Word.” What a way to introduce the story of Jesus—by deliberately echoing the beginning of all creation. In these four weeks of Advent we’ll explore four images from John 1: the Word, the Light, the Flesh, and the Glory. Join us for “The Word” from John 1:1-5!

Pastor Jeff summarizes what we've studied in this sermon series and answers a question about the evils and darkness at play in the world and the power that they have/don't have.

Jesus likes hanging out with the “wrong” people, he welcomes sinners, and his disciples don’t follow the rules that define good, decent people. Jesus just doesn’t make sense as a religious leader. That’s kind of the point – and that’s good news for all of us. Join us as we look at “The God Who Breaks All The Rules” from Matthew 9:9-17.

Pastor Jeff shares a few thoughts on Jesus' authority and our own invitation to respond to him, as well as the call on our lives to try to model the same inviation to others under our authority.

All of us are broken, wounded, or needy in various ways – physically, emotionally, relationally, spiritually. And our awareness of our problems can lead to discouragement and even despair. Jesus meets us in that place with both encouragement and healing for all that’s wrong with us. Join us as we look at “The God Who Heals Body and Soul” from Matthew 9:1-8.

So far in this series, we’ve seen Jesus draw near to the outcast by healing a leper and even a Roman soldier’s servant, but how will Jesus react when his disciples feel helpless in the midst of chaos? Or what will he do as he confronts evil face to face? How would you react if you witnessed Jesus calm a storm with a rebuke, or cast out demons with a single word? Join us for “The God Who Rules Over Chaos and Evil” from Matthew 8:23-34!

Pastor Joey shares a little more from his study of Matthew 8:5-13 and answers two submitted questions.

As we continue in our series, “The God Who Draws Near,” we find Jesus continuing to heal. He’s healed a leper, and now a Roman soldier asks for help for a servant who is deathly ill. Will Jesus help a servant of the occupying army? Would you? Join us for “The God Who Is Worthy of Trust” from Matthew 8:5-13!

Pastor Jeff shares a few additional insights from Matthew 8:1-4 and connects it to some Old Testament passages to give us a better understanding of the God Who Brings Wholeness.

As Jesus finishes his message on life in his gracious kingdom, he comes down off the hillside into the reality of people’s everyday lives. In his first encounter with brokenness we see his compassion and his commitment to extend his wholeness, healing, and restoration to everyone he touches. Join us to see “The God Who Brings Wholeness” from Matthew 8:1-4.
