Our friends…family…health…food to eat…shelter and clothing…there’s so much we have to be thankful for on any given day. No matter how bad our circumstances get, and even on our worst day, we can always be thankful for the grace we have through Jesus Christ. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez talks about "How Grace Can Transform our Attitude." We’re digging into 1 Corinthians 1. 
References: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

However, as followers of Jesus Christ we’re called to be a little different than the norm. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez talks about our calling to be holy, and set apart for God. We’re studying 1 Corinthians 1 discovering "How God Wants Us to Act Differently in our World."

It’s possible that no book in the Bible outlines the Gospel more clearly than the book of Romans. In addition to the rich doctrine we find in Romans, we also find personal encouragement for our lives! Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez presents the very last message in a series on Romans. Yesterday we began looking at Paul’s closing benediction, and how God strengthens us through the Gospel, and our acceptance before God. Mike Fabarez continues a message titled, "The Profound Encouragement of God."

We’re picking up where we left off yesterday in a study called, "The Profound Encouragement of God." It’s possible you feel anything but courageous right now.

The task we’re given as followers of Jesus is tough. In fact, if we confront the challenge with our own strength, it’s actually impossible! So where do we go to get the strength to succeed? Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez answers that question and explains what to do when we’re feeling spiritually exhausted. It’s the very last message in a study of the book of Romans.

Sometimes we get in the habit of equating godliness with just being nice to people. Often, living up to God’s standards means showing a little “tough love.” Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a study in the very last chapter of Romans. It’s part of a series simply titled, "Encouraged." When people quarrel over minor issues and stir up conflict in the church, just being nice to them isn’t God’s prescription to heal the wounds.

Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a message we heard yesterday titled, "Dealing with the Discouragers." Ready to make your congregation a more encouraging place to be? Mike Fabarez offers a practical study in Romans 16.
