Today on Focal Point, we're answering a question asked by another familiar carol, "What Child is This?"

Pastor Mike gives us a little guidance today in a message called, "A Standard That Works."

Someone may have an opinion, but unless it measures up to the Bible we can reject the claim as false.

Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez reminds us that the Bible and its contents aren't up for personal opinions.

Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a study about the Reliability of God's Word. We're looking at the remarkable fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
