A Closer Look at Post-Resurrection Life
When we look in the mirror every day, we catch a glimpse of the inevitable law of nature…that everything wears out with time. One day, that process will finally catch up with us, and our bodies will be placed in the ground. But the Bible promises that our physical bodies will be made new. We’ll enter the grave one way…but we’ll emerge drastically different! On this edition of Focal Point, we continue a study in 1 Corinthians. Mike Fabarez provides us with "A Closer Look at Post-Resurrection Life."

References: 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

Guarding Our Hope in a World That Doesn’t Have ItThe doctrine of sin…the Trinity…the resurrection. They sound like philosophies best kept within the walls of a college or a seminary. But on this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez highlights the critical importance of holding fast to right doctrine. Though we may not even realize it, the implications of what we believe, and why we believe it, ripple through every avenue of our lives. We’re in 1 Corinthians 15 and this message is titled, "Guarding Our Hope in a World that Doesn’t Have It."

Living in Light of Christ’s Victory Over DeathBefore He left, Jesus encouraged us to have hope, knowing that He had overcome the world, sin, and even death. Yet, when we look around, we don’t see much evidence of Christ’s victory. We still struggle with sin, we still experience death, and the world’s problems seem to be getting worse! On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to 1 Corinthians to answer the question…is our hope in the present, or in the future? It’s part of a study called, "Life’s Last Enemy."

Living in Light of Christ’s Victory Over DeathLike a pioneer blazing a trail into uncharted territory, Jesus charted a path through death, and into a new and glorious life. And if we chose to follow Him, we can be confident we’ll reach our eternal destination. But if we forge our own trail, we’re bound to lose our way. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that lasting hope isn’t found in our own efforts or in other paths. This edition's study in 1 Corinthians is titled, "Living in Light of Christ’s Victory Over Death."

Conquering Death…It’s the Whole PointMost understand death to be an end…a permanent departure from this earth. Yet, the Bible records an event unlike anything else in human history…Jesus died, His body was laid in the tomb…and then, three days later He rose again! But is such a remarkable event even possible? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez picks up where he left off yesterday examining the question, “Did Jesus really come back to life?” We’re in 1 Corinthians 15. Today’s message is titled, "Life’s Last Enemy."

Conquering Death … It’s the Whole PointJesus promised that if we put our trust in Him, death would have no claim on us.  One day we’d follow in His footsteps… and walk right out of our graves and into a brand new life!  But is such a thing even possible?  Is there really life after death?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains why Jesus’ resurrection is the most significant event in history… and why it’s relevant to us today.

Conquering Death … It’s the Whole PointIf you could condense the entire message of the Bible into a single thought, what would it be? Perhaps you’d say it’s about living a good life. Or maybe an explanation of who God is. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez describes the central theme of God’s Word. While we can learn many things about God and ourselves within its pages, there is a singular message contained in the Bible. We’ll find it in 1 Corinthians 15.

It’s never easy to attend the funeral of a loved one. As we gather around the coffin to say our final goodbyes, we’re hit with the sheer injustice of death. Though we’ve heard death is natural, it never really feels that way. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez affirms that it’s right to see death as unnatural. Our untimely end is a tragic problem. Fortunately…God has the perfect solution! Today’s message is part of a study in 1 Corinthians called, "Life’s Last Enemy."

Even now, as our hearts beat in a regular rhythm we all know deep down that the clock is ticking. One day, and hopefully no time soon, our heart will beat for the very last time. Yes, we all have to face the reality of death, but this wasn’t always a part of God’s plan! Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez begins a new chapter in our study of 1 Corinthians by examining our mortality. Is death an inescapable foe? Today’s message is called, "Life’s Last Enemy."
