Consumer Christianity, Part 3a

September 19, 2012
When a young child misbehaves, a loving parent is quick to bring discipline and correction. These uncomfortable reminders help pave the way for a happy and healthy life as they grow and learn. Today on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez describes the loving discipline of our Heavenly Father. When we experience pain, or unpleasant circumstances, it can be God’s way of prompting us to change. The hurt isn’t meant to harm us, but to help us. Today’s message is titled, "Avoiding the High Costs of Selfishness."

Is This Part of God's Plan?

As a Christian, we are not promised that everything will go right for us all the time. In fact, we may face even more hardship, persecution and trials. But why would God allow this? Is this really His plan for me?


The presence of suffering and evil shouldn't extinguish our faith, it should strengthen it. Learn how you can gain assurance, strength and comfort amidst the pain of this world.
