You pass an orchard bursting with sun-ripened fruit! But you find out the farmer refuses to pick them, hoping instead for a smaller yield! Sadly enough, that’s how some folks view church. Today on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us that the primary reason for church isn’t to please us, but to harvest something God’s been cultivating all along!
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.
