If you received a letter from someone that contained mostly correction and some pockets of encouragement, and then it was signed I love you and want God’s favor to be on you... how would you receive that? I think it's safe to say, many would be offended and maybe even upset. But what I just described, in a nutshell, is Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. And today on Focal Point, we’ll see that biblical love speaks the truth, and that truth may involve something people don’t want to hear. Pastor Mike Fabarez is also quick to point out, we can’t lose sight of godly compassion through all of this. Right on the heals of Valentine’s Day, our attention is given to what the Bible has to say about real love.
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.
