He Is Risen?
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And, as Christians, sometimes we have a difficult time communicating the historical facts of the resurrection. Jesus' victory over death is central to the Christian faith and now you can get straightforward and practical facts from history why we can believe Jesus really did rise from the dead. Be sure to request the book Body of Proof by Dr. Jeremiah Johnston with your generous donation this month.

The Word of God is capable of addressing the issues closest to our hearts.  And one of those questions could be, Am I Really a Christian?  Maybe you prayed a prayer once or responded to an altar call.  But does the Bible offer any evidence that can prove whether we’re still in the faith?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez looks at the indicators of authentic salvation.

There’s a lot of uncertainty when people talk about eternity.  They might be unsure of their standing with God because they don’t know if the good they’ve accomplished outweighs the bad they’ve done.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez dismantles the notion that our rescue is the result of our own effort!  Hebrews, chapter 4 describes salvation not as the product of hard work, but the acceptance of a generous gift.

We’re currently in a verse-by-verse study of the book of Hebrews … a New Testament letter that is brimming with Old Testament illustrations.  We may be tempted to simply skip over these ancient allusions.  But when we understand these references to the past, we can better grasp the future we have in Jesus!

In order to connect with God, the people of Israel had to follow certain ceremonial laws.  These regulations dictated what the people could wear, where they went, what they could eat, and much more.  But do the followers of Jesus have to live under the same requirements?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to the book of Hebrews to explain why these ceremonies were only shadows, while Jesus is the real deal!

A lot of us spend Monday through Friday hard at work.  But at the end of the week are two days dedicated to relaxing.  In fact, many of us are already looking forward to the weekend!  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez says God has a “heavenly” weekend prepared for us as well.  And He wants to make sure, after our work in this life, we don’t miss the rest promised in the next.

With our busy schedules, many of us don’t have time for self-reflection.  We travel through the day set on autopilot … unaware, at times, of where we’re headed.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez asks us to take moment to examine ourselves.  We’re in a series in Hebrews called Am I Really a Christian?

Some passages of Scripture are like dessert.  The words are comforting, sweet and simply delicious.  But there are other sections of the Bible that feel more like vegetables.  We may be tempted to skip those parts of Scripture and dive right into the good stuff.  But often, it’s the tough passages of God’s Word that offer the most nourishment for our growing faith.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to Hebrews 4, a section that challenges us to answer the question … Am I Really a Christian?
