Faith Church Indy

Pastor Joey shares what he cut for time on Sunday that includes viewing God's word as guardrails rather than rules and how to live within them.

Paul and Silas are headed out, on their first missionary journey together. They’re going to visit some churches from Paul’s first trip, but after, they plan to keep going, evangelizing in new territories. To help, they recruit a young Jewish believer named Timothy. But in what looks like a complete reversal of everything he’s argued against in the last couple of chapters, Paul has Timothy circumcised! Is Paul changing his mind about the role of the Law in a believer’s life? Join us for “The Compromise” from Acts 16:1-5!

Faith Stories Summer 2024 - When 'Good' Doesn't Feel Good Special Guest: Ruth Hubbard.

Feeling the tension after Sunday's message? So are we... and we aren't resolving it in this episode, but it's still worth listening to! Joey anwers a few questions submitted by others and we talk about how terrifying it can be to stay in community.

With the decision made and controversy behind them, Paul and Barnabas decide to re-visit all the churches from their previous journey. But when Barnabas wants to bring along an old companion who abandoned them the first time around, Paul refuses. How do these two men handle their conflict? More importantly, what does the Holy Spirit do in the Church when conflict can’t be resolved? Join us for “The Tour” from Acts 15:36-41!

Faith Stories Summer 2024 - Give Me Your Eyes

Pastor Jeff answers some questions submitted by others and covers what he cut for time regarding prophets in the new testament.

The apostles address a difficult issue that could produce conflict and division. Instead, their response produces joy, unity, and encouragement. What do we learn from them, and how does the Spirit guide us in conflicts and disagreements? Join us as we look at “The Response” from Acts 15:22-35.

Find out how God is at work in our church family and the world. A Firm Foundation.

Pastor Jeff talks more about personal application of Sunday's sermon along with a few resources.

The early church had to wrestle with an important issue that challenged the way they think about God, the way he works, and the kinds of people he loves. Those are still questions for us to work through! Join us as we look at "The Debate" from Acts 15:6-21.

They’re back! After almost two years on the road, Paul and Barnabas have returned, only to find out that the gospel they preached—that Jews and Gentiles are equally welcomed in to God’s family through faith in the Messiah—is up for debate. Do Gentiles have to become Jews before they can become Christians? Are there two families of God, or two levels of relationship with God? In this sermon, we watch the debate boil over into “The Dissension” from Acts 15:1-5.

Pastor Jeff fills in for Joey while he is out of the country and we answer a few big idea questions about the series.

Jeff rounds out the subseries and helps us prep for the next one coming this Sunday!

Paul shares the good news of Jesus - and is almost killed for it. Instead of backing off or turning away, he heads back to the places where he faced opposition to encourage new believers to keep following Jesus in spite of opposition. Join us this Sunday as we look at “The Challenge” from Acts 14:19-28.

Joey shares what didn't make the cut in Sunday's sermon and he presents the gospel story trying to use only the top "ten hundred" words in the English language.

In a thoroughly pagan city with no Jewish influence, we get to watch as Paul and Barnabas work a miracle. And just like previous miracles, this one, too, engenders a faith response in the people who see it. Except this time, their faith is in the wrong gods! Join us for "The Gods" from Acts 14:8-23 to see how the gospel is uniquely preached in this pagan environment.

It's another special guest on Cut for Time! Tom Waltz joins us for the podcast to review his Sunday sermon and share what he had to cut for time.

Sunday we welcome another guest speaker to the pulpit; this time, one of our own elders: Tom Waltz! Tom will explore Acts 14:1-7 with us. And though this seems like just another every-day scene in Barnabas and Paul’s work in the Greco-Roman world, we’ll watch as their ministry and message split the town in two. Join us for “The Division” as we discover how the gospel confronts us still today!
