Is Christianity Really the Only Way? In each of the many religions of the world, we’ll find sincere people who faithfully follow what they’ve been taught.  Yet, two thousand years ago, a Jewish carpenter announced that He was the one and only way to salvation.  If Jesus was right, where does that leave those who are trying to reach God through a different road?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez points out the narrow path and the wideness of God’s love.

Was Jesus Really More Than Just Another Good Teacher?When asked, “Who are you?,” Jesus replied with some very outrageous claims.  He said He was sent by the Father.  He claimed He could forgive sins.  And He admitted to being the very Son of God!  Was Jesus an imposter?  Or was He really who He said He was?  On this edition of "Focal Point", Mike Fabarez turns his attention to the person of Jesus Christ and the substantial evidence that would suggest that Jesus was telling the truth.

What’s So Special About the Bible?Wander the aisles of a bookstore, and you’ll find thousands of books, each credited to a distinct human author.  But on a separate shelf, alone from every other title and apart from every other volume, you’ll find the Bible.  The Author?  Supposedly, God Himself!  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez provides fascinating details on what makes scripture different from any other written work.

What’s So Special About the Bible?In the classic children’s game of telephone, one person whispers a phrase into the ear of someone else.  As the message gets passed, repeated and retold along a line of ears, the words become hopelessly jumbled and the meaning gets lost!  Unfortunately, many people believe the Bible is the same way…a confusing tangle of hearsay.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a series called, "The Big Questions", and highlights the credibility of scripture.
