We time travel and answer a few questions from a passage that was preached a few weeks ago, and cover questions from this week's text: Acts 18:24-28.

Though the gospel has not yet taken root in Ephesus, there's a witness to Jesus there: someone we've never met before, named Apollos. But he only knows half the story! He's helping people move toward Jesus, he can't get them all the way to Jesus. What about us? Are we just like Apollos? Join us for "The Teacher" from Acts 18:24-28 to wrestle with this question for yourself!

What does Joey mean when he talks about "messy" churches and what has he learned about being a part of them? We cover this, and more on this week's episode of Cut for Time.

In just a few short verses Luke wraps up Paul's second missionary journey, gets him home to report, and sends him off again on a reunion tour, revisiting all the churches he had helped plant on his first journey. Is there anything we can learn from this summary of Paul's activity? Join us for "The Reunion" from Acts 18:18-23 and we'll explore it together!

Today’s episode features our missionaries, Mark and Charlene Canada. They have been a part of Faith Church for 36 years, and joined the missions family 16 years ago. You’ve problably met Charlene through the Sunday morning Guest Services team, or know Mark as an elder here at Faith. You may also know them through their work with an organization called Marketplace and Development Enterprises, or MDE, and you’ll learn all about it in this episode.

Their GO Time weekend is September 21-23. You can find their full schedule of events on our website: faithchurchindy.com/gotime.

To sum up this episode with one word... it's academic. We talk about historical & chronological markers, some latin, and this historical church moment.

Moving on from Athens—the intellectual center of Greece—Paul heads to Corinth, into a culture more like the Vegas of the ancient world. When he’s rejected by his own people, he changes his focus to reach the Greek Corinthians. And even in the darkest, most debauched cultures, the gospel gets a hearing, and Paul ministers for a year and a half. Join us to meet “The Corinthians” from Acts 18:1-17!

Pastor Nathan recaps his sermon on Sunday with Pastor Joey.

In what may be considered as the climax of the book of Acts, we see Paul making his defense before the council at the Areopagus. In this “Paul on Trial” moment in time, Paul defends his position and his beliefs about Jesus and his Resurrection by appealing not to the Old Testament, but according to the long-held beliefs in gods throughout the Hellenistic world. What will the response be?

Joey talks more about the perspective of "Paul on Trial" in this text and we talk about what we learned from the evangelism survey from the past year.
