Faith Church Indy

Start this year’s Lenten season with a service of prayer, humility, and the reminder of our frailty and need of a savior.

For Lent, we're starting a new series in the parables - curious stories intended to slow us down, make us think, and invite us to change. And in this first parable about the parables, we see that our response to Jesus reveals something important about our hearts. Join us as we look at "The Sower and the Soils" from Matthew 18:1-23.

Was Nero always a bad emporer? Find out on this week's podcast as we discuss Acts 24:22-25:12.

After a two-year delay in his case, and through multiple hearings with the governor, finally there's a light at the end of the tunnel. A new governor comes on the scene...but this guy wants ingratiate himself with the Jewish leadership, and lays plans to offer Paul up as a sacrifice to his political ambitions. What will Paul do? More importantly, how will God show up? Join us for "The Appeal" from Acts 24:22-25:12 and we'll watch as God pulls the levers of power to get Paul on his way to Rome!

What happened to Acts 24:7? Find out this week as we discuss Acts 24:1-21 in this week's podcast.

The opposition is heating up! The Jewish religious authorities seize their opportunity before the Roman governor to charge Paul with sedition, a charge they know he can’t ignore. But is it true? Paul doesn’t seem to think so. Once again Luke’s readers are drawn into the courtroom drama, waiting for justice to be done. Will God act? Will he act how we want, or how we expect? Join us for “The Governor” from Acts 24:1-21 as we watch God work through his people for his glory!

Do Jesus and Chaos go together? Find out as we discuss that and more in this week's podcast focused on Acts 23:23-35.

God has promised Paul will be his witness in Rome, but so far the steps to get there seem unclear, surprising, and even confusing. Luke allows us to see "behind the scenes" to encourage us that God is at work behind the scenes in our lives to care for us, advance his purposes, and deliver us. Join us as we look at "The Deliverance" from Acts 23:23-35.

Did you know that Paul had a cousin? Find out about this and more as we discuss Acts 23:12-22 in this week's Podcast!

As if being rescued from a murderous mob three times weren't enough, now a large group of men solemnly pledge to kill Paul. But Jesus had promised Paul that he will testify about him in Rome, and God intervenes to bring the deadly scheme to light and lay the groundwork for another narrow escape. Join us for “The Plot” from Acts 23:11-22.

The battle commences! Are we flesh and blood only, or does our spirit live on after death? Joey tackles these tough questions in this podcast discussing Acts 22:30-23:11.

Still on a search for answers, the tribune calls together the Jewish authorities to give them a chance to make their case against Paul. But when Paul cleverly zeroes in on the main issue, the authorities split into factions and begin arguing with each other. In the chaos, Paul is taken back to prison, where Jesus appears with a message. Join us for “The Ploy” from Acts 22:30-23:11 as we watch Jesus move Paul one step closer to Rome!

Joey challenges us with 3 important sermon questions. Hear about these in this week's podcast on The Tribune from Acts 22:22-29.

We pick up this weekend with Paul in chains. The crowd has turned against him--again--and the authorities are getting frustrated. But when they order Paul to be beaten until he confesses his crimes, Paul appeals to his Roman citizenship to stay the proceedings. How has God prepared Paul ahead of time for this moment? And what can we learn from it? Join us for "The Tribune" from Acts 22:22-29!

Paul gives his testimony in front of the Jewish crowd. Find out about this in this week's episode as we discuss Jeff's sermon the Defesne from Acts 21:37-22:22.

The apostle Paul has faced opposition from strangers before, but now he's in danger from his own - people he has the most in common with and who should understand him. What do we learn from Paul about facing hostility from the ones closest to us, and how does that help us as witnesses of Jesus? Join us as we look at "The Defense" from Acts 21:37-22:22.

What made first service laugh so hard? Find out in this week's episode as we discuss Joey's sermon the Mob from Acts 21:27-36.

We're back in Acts, picking up where we left off! Paul is following his leaders' wishes and undergoing a purification ritual to try to signal to suspicious parties that he's really one of them, that he can be trusted. But a misunderstanding and its disastrous consequences leave Paul in chains, alone and abandoned. We'll dive into Acts 21:27-26 and watch "The Mob" reject Paul--and the gospel--once and for all.

As we've been working our way through the book of Acts, we've watched as church after church is planted, grows, and begins to flourish. As the story of Acts shifts from the churches to the church planter, now is a good time to take a break and look back. What have we discovered about being a church? What could Acts teach us for today? Join us for "Faith for the Future" as we look back at Acts to catch a vision for Faith going forward!

“This year I’m going to …” January rolls around, and many of us look at things we’d like to do better or differently. And many of us know what it’s like for our resolutions to crash on the rocks of reality. Is there hope for lasting change? Can I really become the person I want to be and God created me to be? How does God help us change? We’ll look at Genesis 32 for hope and help. You don’t have to stay the same!
