We all go through ups and downs in the seasons of life. Sometimes all is well and we’re on top of the world. But other times we’re struggling just to get through the day. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez reminds us how the community of believers provides a place where we can give support and receive encouragement. Maybe you’ve had the privilege of praying for a friend or providing for their material needs. That’s what Mike Fabarez calls, "The Encouragement of Mutual Support!"
In our broken world, suffering is not a matter of if, but when. The weight of life's burdens, the turmoil of our culture and the stress of finances may have you longing for a hiding place for some glimmer of relief. Find genuine peace amidst difficult trials and learn to rejoice instead of despair. The gospel can sustain believers, even in the darkest times. Be sure to request the book The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom with your generous donation this month.
