Christmas is still a few months away.  But maybe you’re already on the hunt for the perfect gift for that challenging name on your list.  It’s difficult to shop for someone who has everything.  But it’s harder picking a gift for Someone who created everything.  What could we give God that He would enjoy?  Well, rather than search the Internet or head to the mall, on this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to the book of Hebrews for gift ideas.
References: Hebrews 1:7-14

Every one of us is a son or daughter.  That may mean we inherited our dad’s nose, our mom’s laugh, or our parent’s little quirks.  On a basic level, being a son or daughter means we’re human just like mom and dad.  But to call someone The Son of God?  Well, that title is full of meaning.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez looks at the bond between God the Father and God the Son as we continue Learning to Appreciate What Sonship Implies

Is there something that you’ve heard so often that it’s become overly familiar?  Perhaps it’s a song your child plays over and over again.  Or maybe it’s a repetitious saying from a friend.  Could it also be the Good News of the gospel?  Maybe we’ve heard the message a few times and it doesn’t quite hold the same power.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez brings us back to a familiar story, but in a way that may excite a new appreciation for The Son of God.

One of the central issues of division among religions is the person of Jesus Christ.  Some disagree about His very existence.  Others simply deny His deity.  But with all the different ideas about who Jesus was and is, does the identity of Christ really matter?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez reveals the authentic person of Jesus and why it’s so important to understand who He is.

In one corner stands an imposing being with power, influence and wisdom of gigantic portions.  Few people can stand up against an angel!  In the other corner stands a carpenter from the backwoods of Israel, who didn’t seem to exhibit much power when He was nailed to a cross.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains why Jesus Christ is so much greater than any creature, either in heaven or on earth.

If I were to ask you to picture an angel, what image would come to mind?  A glossy being with wings and a halo?  Perhaps a loved one who has died and now watches over you?  We’ve all seen these different depictions of angels on TV, in pictures, or in gift shops.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez opens God’s Word to discover a biblical description of these angelic creatures.  What we find may surprise you!

Many people believe that these creatures are merely myth.  But according to the Bible, angels do exist!  In fact, there are over 250 references to them throughout Scripture.  From the creation story in Genesis, to the end times described in Revelation, angels actively participate in the affairs of our world.  However, their purpose and presence is often misunderstood.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez will dispel a few myths and point to the truth about angels as our study in Hebrews continues.

Certain résumés stand out.  An impressive list of accomplishments, achievements and accolades will make employers sit up and take notice.  Well, on this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez studies an extraordinary résumé found in the book of Hebrews.  By looking at the catalog of Jesus’ accomplishments, we’ll be compelled, not to ask Jesus to work for us … but moved to see how we can better serve Him!
