As christian parents we want what’s best for our kids.  We want to protect them from harm, and point them to the Lord’s will and ways.  They don’t always appreciate that do they?  Especially when we lay down a rule they don’t agree with, or discipline them for a wrong action.  God disciplines those He loves too.  But like a young child, we sometimes miss His good intentions, or don’t appreciate it.  But it’s for our good! 
References: Hebrews 2:2-3

As we turn back to Hebrews two today, we encounter a few prayer pointers. It’s so easy for us to be consumed with ourselves, and that’s often reflected in our prayer time. If you look back on your prayer life, how much of it is focused on others and God, and how much on ourselves? If you’re at all like most, it’s way out of balance. So maybe today, some refocusing is needed? Before we address that issue, Mike wants to encourage us to find a good time and place to pray.

God loves to spend time together with you. He desperately wants to hear from us, but few of us talk to Him as we should. What would God say about your prayer life? Keep that heart-searching question in mind as you turn to Hebrews two. Today Mike Fabarez begins a three part series on Prayer, which he’s called, “Don’t Miss it.” Take my word for it, you won’t want to miss it!  Reason being, is God is wanting to shower us with tremendous blessings and benefits if we would just talk to Him!

God gave us His one and only son, He gives us life, blessings beyond measure, grace we don’t deserve, and everything we need for life and godliness. Wouldn’t you like to give Him something back in return?  Pastor Mike Fabarez will offer up a few gift ideas today on Focal Point. The gift catalog you might say is in Hebrews one, and that’s where we’re headed today, continuing our series on the “Supremacy of Christ!” When we left you yesterday, we were talking about how our faith can really bless God’s heart. It’s a fabulous gift to give God, for without it, it’s impossible to please Him. Let’s see what else is on God’s wish list, and He’d like to have from us.

Looking back on your Christmas shopping experience, did you have someone on your list that was really hard to buy for? God created everything, lacks nothing, and can have anything He so desires. What in the world could we possibly give to Him with that in mind? Rather than search the internet or head to the Mall, turn to Hebrews one for a great gift idea. Pastor Mike Fabarez is here now to show us what to give a King.

Can you think of something off-hand that you’ve heard so often, that you’ve grown tired of hearing it? Perhaps a certain commercial on TV, or a repetitious saying from a friend. Sadly, though we may not readily admit it, many have that same feeling about the Gospel message. We’ve heard it time and time again and maybe you think you’re beyond all that now, and ready for something new? We really never can hear it enough! Let’s look back to the cross today on Focal Point as Pastor Mike helps us fully appreciate the Heavenly Father’s sacrifice of His Son.

One of the tell-tale signs of a cult is that they either deny Christ, or His diety. Mormons and the Jehovah Witnesses will tell you that Jesus is not God. Of course, as Christians, we know that He really is. However, is it really all that important to get that straight? Today on the broadcast Pastor Mike Fabarez will show us why we should appreciate the truth that the Son is God, and He’ll also point out a few other things we should know about our Lord.

If I were to ask you to tell me what you think an angel is and does,  perhaps you’d describe an image of something with wings, a harp and a halo. Or maybe you think that an angel is someone that has died and come back with wings? Or would you say, it’s someone sitting on a cloud plucking the harp and waiting to arrive at some unknown destination? We’ve all seen angels depicted on T.V. or in gift shops, but today on Focal Point we’ll see what they’re really all about, and just maybe it’s a far different picture than the one currently in your mind.

According to the Bible, angels exist! In fact, there are over 250 references to them throughout scripture. From the story of creation in Genesis, to the description of the end times in Revelation, angels actively participate in the affairs of this world and heaven. However, they are widely misunderstood, and so here today on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez will dispell a few myths and point to the truth about Angels as our study in Hebrews continues.

In the book of Hebrews, God is saying that His Son has done something incredible, and wants to recognize it. As we come to understand who Jesus is and what He’s accomplished, it will really impact our lives in a great way. Let’s seek to do that now. Mike Fabarez is in Hebrews one encouraging us to honor the King of Kings.

If you’re a parent you probably get as proud as a peacock when your kids accomplish something great. Maybe you’re quick to flash out the report card to your friends, or put the trophy in a conspicous location in the living room for all to see. Today on Focal Point, we’ll hear about the ultimate Son, through the praise of His Father. Join us as we begin our study of Hebrews and a series called, “The Supremacy of Christ.” Today Pastor Mike Fabarez shows us that Jesus speaks for God, and so we should listen to Him carefully.
