Faith Church Indy

This Lent, we're journeying through Leviticus—a book that might seem distant, but reveals God's desire to be near His people. Between the glory-filled tabernacle at the end of Exodus and God's voice speaking from within it in Numbers, we discover something beautiful: God doesn't just dwell among us; He provides the way for us to draw close to Him.Special Guest: Nick Carter.

Leviticus and lent? What do they have to do with each other? Find out on this week's podcast covering Leviticus 1:1-4, 25:1-4.

In the closing verses of Ephesians, Paul reveals what a renewed life truly looks like: not comfort or ease, but courageous faithfulness to Christ. Those made new in Christ are sent into the world as His witnesses, strengthened by prayer, sustained by grace, and empowered to speak the good news with confidence, no matter the cost. Join us as we look at "Witness and Blessing" from Ephesian 6:18-25.

Wrapping up Ephesians. What are the take aways? We discuss this on this weeks episode covering Ephesians 6:18-24.

Are there 2 meanings of Fit for the Fight sermon title? Find out on this weeks podcst on Ephesians 6:10-18.

As Paul is getting close to the end of his letter to the Ephesians, he reminds them of one foundational truth: our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. What an interesting way to set perspective and encourage these believers! Yet he reminds them that they are not defenseless because our triune God has equipped his church with everything necessary to defend and fight against the schemes of our enemy. Join us as we unpack Ephesians 6:10-18 and see how we are called and able to stand firm in Christ.

Did Paul endorse slavery? We discuss this and more on this weeks podcast covering Ephesians 6:5-9.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling…are the jarring first words of our text for this sermon. Is Paul justifying the practice of slavery? How does the Christian Gospel address such matters? What relevance does this have for our work today? Join us as we look at Ephesians 6:5-9, Grace at Work.

Pastor Curtis shares with us some experiences from home and life as we look at Ephesians 6:1-4.

We're pleased to announce that Pastor Curtis Coston of Solid Word Bible Church will bring God's Word to us! As we continue in our Re[New]ed series, we'll look at how Paul addresses both children and parents in the household and explore what it means to live out the gospel in everyday rhythms of family life. Join us as we learn how to live out "Grace at Home" from Ephesians 6:1-4. Special Guest: Curtis Coston.

There's a lot of confusion and disagreement over why marriage exists, what it's for, and what it should look like. The apostle Paul answers those questions and shows us what it looks like to live as disciples of Jesus, especially as husbands called to love as Christ loves the Church. Join us as we return to our series in Ephesians and look at "Gospel-Centered Marriage - Part 1" from Ephesians 5:21-33. Special Guest: Mark Dunker.

Complimentarian vs Egalitarian. Big Debates and big topics this podcast focusing on Ephesians 5:21-33.

We'll spend more time in Ephesians 5:21–33 seeing how Christ's self-giving love reshapes our ideas about marriage. How does the gospel dignify women and lead to the good of both husband and wife? What do headship and submission mean when husbands and wives submit to one another? Join us as we look at "Gospel-Centered Marriage, Part 2."

How did Jesus grow after his birth? We'll explore how God shapes us through ordinary rhythms, hidden seasons, and patient obedience.

As we approach Christmas, this message from Isaiah 54:1–10 invites us to rejoice in God's steadfast love and unshakable promises. Even after seasons of hardship or waiting, God speaks words of restoration, peace, and covenant faithfulness. Join us as we reflect on the hope that is fulfilled in Christ—the love that will not be removed and the mercy that carries us into joy.

In a season when the world either feels heavy or offers happiness based on circumstances, Isaiah invites us to discover deep, lasting, God-given joy. This week we explore where true joy comes from, how we can experience it in our normal life, and what it produces in us. Join us as we look at "Joy" from Isaiah 12:1-6.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, declared the angels. But where is that peace? When is it coming? Henry Wadsorth Longfellow expressed what many feel when he wrote in 1863 during the Civil War, And in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of Peace on earth good-will to men.” Doesn't it seem the same today with war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and through much of Africa as well as unrest in America? Yet, God promises that Messiah, the Prince of Peace, will bring a peace in which there will be no end. Join us as we examine Isaiah 9:1-7, The Prince of Peace.

We live with constant reminders that our world is fragile and broken and we can't fix ourselves. We live in a kind of constant darkness.

What are some wise ways that we can put God first in this season? We discuss this and more on this weeks podcast on Ephesians 5:15-21.

Because Christians have been born again by the grace and power of Christ, we are therefore able to walk in Christ. This means growing in discernment regarding what is true and what is right, and being known as people of the light. We're looking forward to looking at Ephesians 5:8-14 with guest preacher, Dr. Nicholas G. Piotrowski, President of ITS.  Special Guest: Nicholas Piotrowski.

Paul reminds us that because we are new people we can no longer live in selfish immorality, and he warns us that kind of life brings judgment and condemnation. Because we are God's children, our lives should reflect the self-giving love of Jesus. Join us as we look at what it means to "Walk in Love" from Ephesians 5:1-7.

How do you walk in Love? We discuss this along with Ephesians 5:1-7.

Ephesians 4 tells Christian believers to put off the old self and put on the new self. What areas of our daily experience will be affected with this change of spiritual clothing? Ephesians 4:25—5:2 introduces those important changes in our speech, dealing with anger, our attitudes and responses in all ways that we relate to one another. It's about integrating our faith in Jesus with all of life and becoming imitators of God. Join us for Before and After.

What do we do with our anger? We discuss this and more on this weeks podcast covering Ephesians 4:25-5:2

As soon as we start following Jesus and trying to live as new people, we discover that we're in a fight against the pull of the culture and the desires of our own hearts.

How does God fill us? This and more on this week's podcast discussing Ephesians 3:14-21

As Paul concludes the first half of his letter, he's moved with awe by the thought of all that God is and has for us in Christ.

What's the secret to becoming a part of God's Kingdom? We discuss this on this weeks episode covering Ephesians 3:1-6.

We all love finding a hidden restaurant, a great deal, a good book that has made our lives fuller. We want to share our discovery with others. Paul talks about the “divine secret” or mystery of God's salvation, and he describes how God uses us to bring others into the amazing reality we've discovered in Jesus. Join us this Sunday as we look at "The Secret" from Ephesians 3:1-6.

How are we unified even though sometimes we believe different things? We discuss this on the podcast covering Ephesians 2:11-22.

Western Christians mostly see salvation in individual terms, what God has done for me. Much of that is true in the first chapter and a half of Ephesians, but God's saving grace is much broader, going beyond the individual to the church. It includes God's work to "unite all things in him," (1:10) and to "create in Himself one new man in place of the two." (2:15). This is the church, the gathering of God's people from all over the world into one body, starting by breaking down the wall between Jew and Gentile. What other walls is God breaking down? Are we embracing God's purpose or fighting against it? Join us for a closer look at Ephesians 2:11-22, One People, United in Christ.

What is required of us for service at Faith Church? We discuss this and more as we look at Ephesians 2:5-10.

If our salvation - from beginning to end - is all based on God's grace, how does that change me? What does it mean for the way I see myself? My identity and my purpose in life? Join us as we look at "God's Workmanship" from Ephesians 2:5-10.

Is the soul., spirit and flesh separate in the human life? We discuss this and more while we focus on Ephesians 2:1-6.

We all have some idea of what grace is – a free gift. But we can all think of gifts we received that weren't that meaningful or important. What does the grace of God really look like? Why do I need it? And what does it do in my heart and my life? How does grace change me? Join us as we look at "Made Alive" from Ephesians 2:1-6

What does gritty mean? Find out on this week's podcast covering Ephesians 1:15-23.

God opens the eyes of our hearts to see and treasure the riches of his grace - lasting hope, eternal significance, limitless power to be and do all we were created for, and meaningful community in the church. Special Guest: Joel Bussell.

All of us struggle with doubts and fears – about ourselves, about relationships, about the future, about this world, even about God and his promises. How do we find security, hope, and direction for our lives? Join us as we look at "The Father's Love" from Ephesians 1:3-14

ANEW?!

We're tempted to think that when life is going well and we have good things, God is happy with us and we're blessed; and if life is hard, we think we've done something wrong and God is withholding his blessing. Is that how God operates? Join us as we start a new series in the book of Ephesians and look at what it means to be “Blessed” from Ephesians 1:1-3.

We start the new series of Ephesians this week focsed on the blessings covered in Ephesians 1:1-3.
