As followers of Jesus, we’ve been commissioned to take the Gospel message out into the world. It’s a message of grace, love and forgiveness found only in Jesus Christ. But when sin is glaring in our lives, or in the church, it can severely obstruct the truths we’re trying to convey. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez cautions us against pointing out sin in the world, before we address the sin that’s in the church.
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.
Focal Point is the Bible teaching ministry of author and pastor Mike Fabarez. Focal Point explores and proclaims the depths of Scripture on its daily radio broadcast and is dedicated to clearly explaining the truth of God’s Word.
