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...

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 c...

“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 t...

We love celebrating Christmas with our church family. At Faith, you can expect to celebrate in all of your favorite and nostalgic ways – sing carols and Christmas hymns, lighting candles, and savoring treats of the season. Join us this Christmas Eve 2024.

Even though we’re home, we belong, we’re blessed, we’re not yet to our final home, to the world as it should be. While we wait for Jesus' return, we serve the king and his kingdom now, moving out from our home of belonging and blessing to work for justice and righteousness around us. Join us as we look at "Harmony" from Luke 1:67-79.

Every gift guide, every advertisement, and every wish list all work off the same principle: if only someone would give me some thing that perfectly met my deepest desires, then I’d be happy. I’d be at peace. We all long for blessing—and if we don’t find it in Jesus, we’ll look for it in stuff. But ultimate blessing is found in the home we’re longing for! Join us for “Longing for Blessing” as we op...

Everyone longs to belong, not just in a social club or friend group, but to a place that feels like family and home. In the Old Testament, God made a promise to Abraham and his descendants that they would belong to him as his people, but over time and many years of disobedience, the Israelites walked away from God over and over again. We all fear losing the places we belong to, and thankfully in J...

Our culture has turned Christmas into a celebration of gifts and nostalgia. But the reality of it goes much deeper, because our longing for Christmas is really the longing for what we ultimately made for. Join us as we begin Advent looking at how Christmas fulfills one of our deepest desires - the longing for "Home" from Isaiah 55:1-9.

What does it look like to follow along with leading? We will discuss this and more on this weeks podcast!

Once again, Paul is in Jerusalem—and once again, conflict follows not far behind him. Too many Jewish believers distrust Paul for there not to be conflict. The leaders of the church have a plan to keep the peace, but will it work? Or will it backfire in their faces? Join us for “The Purification” from Acts 21:17-26!

How do you walk through suffering with friends and loved ones? Find out this and more on this week's podcast.

We all want to be open to God's leading. But what if it seems like God's direction is taking someone we care about - or maybe us - through pain and difficulty? Can that really be God's plan? Join us as we look at "The Prophecy" from Acts 21:1-16.

Playing the lightning round with questions about elders, leaders, and pastors in this week's episode!

You could call it Paul’s “Farewell Tour.” As he make his way back to Jerusalem, he knows he won’t see any of these churches or these leaders again. If you had a chance to give one last speech to people you love, what would you say? Join us for “The Elders” from Acts 20:17-38 for Paul’s last words to a group of leaders and the churches they represent!

What to do in this crazy season of life? This will be discussed on this week's episode.

On his way back to Jerusalem, Paul uses his travel itinerary as an opportunity to connect with churches and followers of Jesus all over the Mediterranean. And knowing his time is short, in one port city he teaches all night long…so long that one of his younger hearers falls asleep and falls right out of the window. But why does Luke tell us this story? Just for a little “flavor”? Or is there a dee...

Fall colors, Luke's perspective, and perserverence in this week's episode.

Once again Paul has to flee town, facing persecution. He heads towards Jerusalem, strengthening churches he's planted and taking with him a diverse group of friends. What does this short passage tell us about the growth of the gospel and how God uses us in others' lives? Join us for "The Companions" from Acts 20:1-6.

Feeling empty and in need? Follow Christ's sweet invitation. We discuss this and more in this week's episode.

This week we see Paul's time in Ephesus come to an abrupt close with a riot triggered by the changed behavior of the believers in the area. This story gives us many insights into the culture of this thriving Greco-Roman city and the way Paul worked within it. It also provides a snapshot of Paul's time in Ephesus which included both great success and oppressive trouble. Join us as we look at this s...
