When a young child misbehaves, a loving parent is quick to bring discipline and correction. These uncomfortable reminders help pave the way for a happy and healthy life as they grow and learn. Today on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez describes the loving discipline of our Heavenly Father. When we experience pain, or unpleasant circumstances, it can be God’s way of prompting us to change. The hurt isn’t meant to harm us, but to help us. Today’s message is titled, "Avoiding the High Costs of Selfishness."
Did Paul ever reach Spain? Was Peter really crucified upside down? What became of Mary after Jesus' ascension? The Book of Acts ends at chapter 28, but their stories didn't.
If you have ever wondered what the answers to these questions and more about the Apostles, then this excellently researched book is for you to explore the lives and legends of the Apostles.
