Have you ever asked yourself, “Does God really listen to our prayers, and answer them?” Here on our Wednesday Focal Point, pastor Mike Fabarez presents a message centered around prayers that get answered. It’s just part of our ongoing series on prayer. Pastor Mike will show us two things that God requires of us before He’ll answer our prayers.
References: 1 John 3:21-24

Throughout His Word God says to us “Call on Me and I’ll answer, ask and I’ll give it to you!” If we believe that to be true, why do we pray so little? It so often sits in our spiritual arsenal, and we rarely access it. Today on Focal Point the plan is to resuscitate our prayer lives. We’ll go to First John five, and verses 14-15 for some much needed encouragement.

It’s good to know that Christians can call upon the Lord, and He is never too busy to take your call and the line is always clear and open. Not only does He hear us, He answers too! That’s a proposition that’s reliable. Join us for this Monday edition of Focal Point as we continue our series on Prayer.

Think about the worst thing someone has ever done to you. How did you respond? Maybe you’re still holding a grudge, and haven’t forgiven them now years later? The world would say, “That’s your right!” However, God calls us to follow in the footsteps of Christ - who forgave us of a debt we could not pay. Today on Focal Point we’ll be encouraged in that direction.

It’s not hard to find complainers is it? In fact, you may find them hard to be around. Well, the Lord doesn’t like complaining either. He wants us to be truly thankful, and we have a lot to be thankful for as believers. Today on Focal Point, pastor Mike Fabarez encourages us to realize that God deserves more gratitude.

Our Focal Point here in the month of May is prayer. In Colossians chapter four verse two we read, “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” An all be it brief statement, but it’s packed with helpful instruction for our prayer lives. Today we’ll focus in particular on the phrase, “Being Watchful!” What is that really getting at? Find out with us.

Watch and pray...that phrase is scattered throughout scripture. You may remember that Christ uttered those very words to Peter in the garden just after he discovered the disciples asleep. Pastor Mike Fabarez will show us the importance of adopting an alertness not only morally and physically, but also eschatologically as well. This is just part of our ongoing mini-series called, “Prayer 101.”

Pastor Mike Fabarez will be continuing his prayer 101 series. Even a casual glance at the behavior of others and we can see that people in large part are devoted to entertainment and pleasure, work and money, and for some their family. But how many are actually devoted to prayer? Time will reveal what we’re devoted to as pastor Mike now shows us from Colossians 4:2.
