Christ, Freedom and the Resurrection, Part 2

April 12, 2017

Ever had a piece of spinach stuck in your teeth? A real friend would come straight out and tell you! And that’s the directness we can expect from the scriptures. Today on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us that God cares about us too much to tell us we’re okay—when we’re not! Hear why that’s actually very good news.

He Is Risen?
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And, as Christians, sometimes we have a difficult time communicating the historical facts of the resurrection. Jesus' victory over death is central to the Christian faith and now you can get straightforward and practical facts from history why we can believe Jesus really did rise from the dead.
