The Focus Point Podcast

In this episode, we are continuing on in our series Touched. In the first 2 episodes of the series we saw how Jesus Himself touched people’s lives in ways that only He could. In last week’s episode, we saw how a simple conversation could lead someone to Jesus. The idea we started looking at last week we are going to continue to look at this week and that is - “the touch of Jesus changes lives thro...

In this episode, we are going to be looking at a familiar story in John 4. The touch of Jesus changes lives, but that touch can be in different forms. Conversation is a very important piece to how Jesus changed lives. A simple conversation with someone may contain the words that leads someone to Jesus - and you may be the only one they will listen too!

In this episode, we are going to be looking at how the touch of Jesus changes lives. This time we are going to be looking at a story in John 4:46-53 where the touch of Jesus changes the lives of many.

The touch of Jesus changes lives. In this episode, we are going to be looking at how Jesus changed the life of a man in John 9 and how that change still impacts our lives today.

In this special episode, I am going to talk about how The Focus Point was started, some of the changes that are coming, and the importance of the number 7! We will be looking at Joshua 6.

“Lost. Not gone. There’s a difference. If something is lost it can found.” This quote (from Uncharted) really stood out to me when I heard it in the movie theatre. I quickly got out my phone and typed into my notes app. I also immediately thought of Luke 15. The reason why I like series like this is because I fully believe that you can see God anywhere and anytime - if you are looking for Him. The...

The reason why I like series like this is because I fully believe that you can see God anywhere and anytime - if you are looking for Him. There are times when I go and see a movie not really expecting to get anything from God out of the movie. But it’s in those movies that He shows me a lot of stuff. In fact, the last movie we are going to look at in this series is a great example of what I mean....

The first thing that I wanted to mention from the lyrics is the first line “I can be real with you.” This is an important line. It took me a while to understand that I can be real with Jesus. I believe many times we can be afraid to express to Jesus how we really feel. We are afraid that we will somehow make Jesus mad. But there are instances in the Bible where people got real with Jesus. I can be...

A couple of months ago, my wife and I were able to attend a worship night led by Elevation Church called “Elevation Nights.” It was an amazing time. Basically, it was an extended church service. There was a time of worship and a message from Pastor Steven Furtick. But this episode isn’t about what God showed me through his message as I sometimes share here. This is more of what God showed me befor...

I recently heard a song. I was captivated by the lyrics of the song as they described God. In this post, I want to look at the song a little bit as well as a passage of Scripture that I have dwelled on for several years. But once again, it has given a new light.

This will blow your mind. I know it did mine. As I sat in the church service I knew that needed to share with you what I had heard the pastor say in his message. A few months ago, one of the teaching pastors at my church was preaching a message called “Holy Habits”. As he got toward the end of his message he talked briefly about how Moses wanted a name for God. So God responded with the name YHWH....

We are going to look one more time at this scene in Exodus 14 where the Israelites have been freed from Egypt and they are standing on the banks of the Red Sea that they just walked through. We have been looking at this one scene in Israel’s history and looking at the different feelings and moments that came in right after their freedom from Egypt. This time we are looking at how God answers praye...

The middle as defined by Merriam-Webster is “the position of being among or in the midst of something”. Being in the middle sucks. Being the middle child. Being caught in the middle of something that you shouldn’t have been in. Being in the middle of an argument. We all I think have been in the middle. When I think about someone who was caught in the middle - I think of Job. In this episode we are...

There is a time to mourn over things that come up in our life. There are times when life gets real. We are looking a moment in the Israelites time in the wilderness where they were choosing to continue to mourn instead of dancing in the freedom God had for them. The Bible says that there is “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,” - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:4‬ Today we ar...

Today we are starting a special series called “From The Vault”. It is important to rest. So during this period of rest, for me and The Focus Point ministry, I thought it would be fun to look back at one of the very first series we did on the podcast 3 years ago. It is important to note here that the episodes in this series are going to be presented in their original form.

Over the last several weeks, we have looked at majority of the Gospel of John (chapters 13-20). So in this episode we are going to look at what happens in John 21. As John 21 begins, the disciples have already seen the resurrected Jesus twice. They saw Him once without Thomas and then Jesus came back when Thomas was there. Now they are out fishing and Jesus is going to visit them for a third time...

Scars tell stories. In the episode we see how the scars of Jesus tell an amazing story.

Over the last 9 weeks, we have entered into the Last Night With Jesus. We have spent time looking at John 13-17 which accounts the last night Jesus had with His disciples. We have entered into the teaching and encouragement of Jesus that He presented to His disciples that night. We entered confusing space and experienced the passionate teaching of Jesus along with them. Now, the events of Good Fri...

Jesus often prayed. He prayed in the morning. He prayed in the evening. He prayed in the afternoon. He prayed in the late hours of the night. It is the late-night prayer that we are going to be looking at in this post. As I have said throughout this series, Jesus is in His final hours here. These final teachings are arguably the best Jesus did. Not that all the others were bad, but these are His f...

The night is coming to close. Jesus knows the events to come and they are close. Jesus has one final thing to say to His disciples as the conversation and the night is coming to an end. Jesus does say a few more things to His disciples after this moment, but this is the final words of His last teaching to them. This final part of the conversation starts like this:
