The Gospel Alternative for the Cultures of Men: Celebrating God's Assignment

In a culture obsessed with advancement and self-improvement, how does the Bible call us to live? Dr. John Neufeld explores the radical Christian virtue of contentment from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, teaching that believers are called to embrace God's assignment in whatever situation they find themselves. Paul's principle remains: be content where God has placed you while seeking freedom when possible, and find satisfaction not in changing your circumstances, but in recognizing the spiritual riches you possess in Christ.

The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.
