Maybe you’ve had a well meaning friend come up to you and say, “God wants you to be prosperous,” implying that since you’re in financial difficulty you’re in sin. But is that really what Scripture teaches? Actually quite the opposite, as we’ll discover today on Focal Point. Pastor Mike Fabarez has a message today dealing with faith, stress and money. Perhaps you’re among the many that has lost your job, or at the very least have felt the affects of this down economy? I think you’ll find this study encouraging, as Mike has us rethink biblical faith in a down economy.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
