Weekly Devotionals from Pastor Mike Fabarez

Mike Fabarez consistently promotes a biblical worldview in a culture bombarding us with a “whatever-makes-you-happy” philosophy.  His weekly devotionals point us to Christ and makes him the Focal Point of our week.

Self-Serving

Well Wielded Words

December 9, 2024
At mealtime a parent may comfortably give their toddler a spoon, but never a knife.
