Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

Sin is the common denominator for humanity. Our sins may vary in scope and kind, but everyone, everywhere sins. Why is that? Dr. John explains from Romans 5:12-14 that we all are held to account for Adam's sin. We share his condemnation of death. We share his attitude of rebellion. Common humanity makes it so. That bond explains our common failure. It will also point to our common hope. The Power of the Gospel: The gospel of Jesus has the power to save us by granting us eternal life. The gospel also has power for us to live this new life. In this 5-week series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Romans 5-8 and focuses on the powerful grace of God which enables us to live with victory, joy and peace. To those who feel defeated in their Christian walk, these truths offer hope and help. 

How much does God love us? How would we quantify that? We could point to creation and the abundance of daily grace. We could list answered prayers and unique provisions. But Paul points to another measure. Today, Dr. John teaches from Romans 5:6-11 and unpacks Paul's demonstration of God's love for us. If God loved us at our worst, enough to die for us, how can He love us less as His child? Today, tomorrow and forever, you are loved by God through Jesus Christ.The Power of the Gospel: The gospel of Jesus has the power to save us by granting us eternal life.

The grace of our God is His eternal heart to do good for us, regardless of our merit. That sounds too good to be true - so we often doubt it. Dr. John speaks to all who struggle with God's love poured out to us in Jesus Christ. If you think God is mad at you, that there are unresolved issues with Him or that a failure on your part endangers His love for you, take heart from this message on Romans 5:1-4.The Power of the Gospel: The gospel of Jesus has the power to save us by granting us eternal life.

A box of tools is of little use to us unless we know how to employ the tools. In the first of 5 messages on Romans 5-8, Dr. John teaches on the power of the gospel to not only save us, but to change us. We are powerless to achieve godliness on our own. In place of our own efforts, God responds to our faith. We trusted Jesus to save us. Trust Him as you live this new life.The Power of the Gospel: The gospel of Jesus has the power to save us by granting us eternal life. The gospel also has power for us to live this new life.

The plan and rule of God is focused through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the means of redemption and reconciliation. Jesus is the coming King who will rule the earth. In Psalm 2, God laughs at the opposition of earthly kings. Why? Jesus reigns with a rod of iron. Let every king bow in reverence. Let every believer live with hope. To the King: What binds these two Psalms together is their expression of praise for the King who is unstoppable in power. In this 5-message series, join Dr. John Neufeld as he examines Psalm 2 and Psalm 147. The theme of these 2 Psalms is simple: God reigns over all. Let’s express our love and our devotion to our King!

It is no secret that our modern culture not only places God on the periphery, but actively opposes His Word and rule. The ways of God are ridiculed and rejected. Dr. John turns us to Psalm 2 to demonstrate that this is not new. God is not surprised or shook. His Throne is eternally stable, and His people can be calm and confident.To the King: What binds these two Psalms together is their expression of praise for the King who is unstoppable in power.

"Can't see the forest for the trees" is more than a cliche. It is a vulnerability in each one of us. We can be so wrapped up by what is in front of us, pleasure or pain, that we fail to see the larger Hand of God. As Dr. John continues with Psalm 147, we learn that God is at work in everything. So, in everything, we can place our hope in Him.To the King: What binds these two Psalms together is their expression of praise for the King who is unstoppable in power.

It's easy to sing at a wedding, but harder to sing at a funeral. Yet both occasions call for songs of praise and worship. Psalm 147 commands us to praise our Lord, regardless of our context. We are to praise God in pain or pleasure. Dr. John reminds us that worship not only exalts our King - it heals the heart of the worshipper. To the King: What binds these two Psalms together is their expression of praise for the King who is unstoppable in power.

Loyalty can be bought. People may stick with a brand or political party because of the perks. God doesn't work that way. In fact, our loyalty is often tested through hardships. Listen as Dr. John teaches from Psalm 147 about faithfulness and celebration for our King. Consider the question, "Why am I loyal to Jesus despite the hardships?"To the King: What binds these two Psalms together is their expression of praise for the King who is unstoppable in power.

To a generation which feeds on complaint and criticism of leadership, Psalm 21 may feel like a speedbump. Like Ps.20, this is another royal Psalm. Psalm 20 calls us to pray for the king, but Psalm 21 calls us to be grateful for the king! That is another issue altogether. Listen as Dr. John opens this psalm with practical application for us all.Prayers of King David: Part of the appeal of the Psalms is that they speak to our current life situations with clarity and hope. In this five-message series, Dr. John points to the prayers of David from Psalms 13-17. Whether we are enduring difficult times, feel surrounded by ungodliness, are falsely accused or struggle to worship well, these Psalms are our prayers.
