Almost two thousand years ago, on the very first Good Friday, Jesus was crucified at Golgotha. His gripping account was recorded with remarkable detail in the Gospels. And today on Focal Point, we’ll be reflecting on the rich significance of what occurred that day. After Jesus died, we read that “One of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood…and water.” Explore the importance of this unusual detail, with Mike Fabarez.

But often, deliverance comes in some unusual packages. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez presents a message called, "King of Kings and Some Unlikely Princes and Princesses." When we study the ordinary men and women that God used in the Old Testament, it helps us understand Jesus’ mission as well.

Do you ever come to a decision and wonder, what does God want me to do? Sometimes the answer is straightforward, and clearly laid out in God’s Word. Other times, there’s no clear right and wrong, and we need discernment to make the best choice. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez is sharing a very important principle for figuring out those gray areas. We’re picking up where we left off yesterday with a message titled, "Choosing to Be Done with Selfish Living."

When we gain salvation in Jesus, we’re also given a great deal of freedom. But while some people use their liberty as an excuse to live any way they please, there’s a higher calling in order. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a study called, "The Black and White on Gray Areas." While the Bible doesn’t spell out every choice we should make, it’s important we live with the right motives.

There are words we use all the time…but often…we’re not so clear on their meaning. We’ll be talking about one of those words today on Focal Point, as we try to understand the biblical meaning of the word, “judge.” Mike Fabarez is picking up where he left off yesterday. It’s part of a study in Romans 14 called, "The Black and White on Gray Areas." As followers of Jesus, we’re given important guidelines for how to judge.

In every area of life, we’re motivated by the rewards we get. We go to work every day for the reward of a paycheck. Or we spend time at the gym because of the positive physical results we gain. In our spiritual lives, our motivation isn’t much different! Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a study called, "Living in Light of Our Coming Judgment." The choices we make right now will determine the rewards we get in heaven.
