We’ve all run across parents that give their children whatever they want. It's not hard to see how destructive that can be to the child. I think we can all agree that there are times when a parent should say no and give the child what they need rather than what they want. The same holds true in the Christian life as we’re about to see on Focal Point. God doesn’t always give us what we ask, and for good reason. He has our best interest at heart. Pastor Mike Fabarez takes us to Hebrews four and shows us why we can expect the best kind of help from our heavenly Father. That help may not involve immediate gratification, but it will lead to our good and God’s glory.
There are many in our world that will say the Bible is made up; it's just a bunch of stories with no historical foundation. Why should anyone believe any of it? But when we look at the archaeological evidence from the ancient Holy Lands, we find that their world confirms the truths of the Bible...it continually proves the Bible to be true. Be sure to request the book The Essential Archaeological Guide to the Bible Lands with your generous donation this month.
