Focal Point on Oneplace.com - Why Should We Trust God Over People?

March 26, 2026·25 min·2 clips

God names every one of 70 sextillion stars, so how could he forget a single promise to you?

Focal Point Radio presents a message from Pastor Mike Fabarez titled Impeccable Promises and Divine Character, drawing from Hebrews chapter 6 verse 18, which states that God made his promise and his oath — two unchangeable things — and that it is impossible for God to lie, so that believers who have fled to hold fast to hope may be greatly encouraged. Pastor Mike uses theologian John Owen's observation that every promise of God rests on four pillars to structure the sermon. The first and foundational pillar is God's holiness: being perfect and set apart from sin means God is constitutionally incapable of deception, because deception is a subset of sin, and a holy being cannot sin. The sermon argues that understanding this removes every reasonable cause for doubt about whether God will follow through on what he says, since the obstacle that prevents people from keeping promises — willingness to deceive — does not exist in God's character. The broader application is that nothing in the political, religious, or personal world can derail divine purposes, because no external force or human blunder can thwart the plan of a being whose character makes failure impossible. The episode includes warm listener correspondence from truck drivers and regular Bible listeners who describe the show's accessibility and the humanity Pastor Mike brings to Biblical characters. The closing segment announces the completion of a full trip through the Bible and the beginning of a new one starting April 3rd. The tone is warm, accessible, and devotional rather than academic, suitable for regular church-going listeners and those new to systematic Bible study.
