Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

What do you do when heaven is silent and God seems far away? Dr. John Neufeld examines Isaiah 40:27-31, where Israel cries out that their way is hidden from the Lord. Isaiah's response isn't to explain the silence, but to remind them who God is - everlasting, never growing weary, with unsearchable understanding. When we feel abandoned, we must preach God's attributes to ourselves, not because we feel them, but because they're true.God and the World's Idols: What are you really worshipping? In this series through Isaiah 40–44, Dr. John Neufeld explores one of Scripture's most powerful confrontations between the living God and the idols humanity creates. Writing to a nation facing exile and questioning whether their God has abandoned them, Isaiah paints a stunning portrait of who God truly is — His wisdom that needs no counsel, His power that never grows weary, His sovereignty over history itself.

Just who do you think you're talking to when you talk to God? Dr. John Neufeld examines Isaiah 40:12-26, where God asks eleven questions that reveal His incomparable nature. Who has measured the oceans in the hollow of His hand or marked off the heavens with a span? Idols - whether carved from wood or forged from gold - are products of human imagination, easily toppled and compared to creation. But the true God is beyond comparison, beyond human comprehension.God and the World's Idols: What are you really worshipping?

Everyone needs hope, but what happens when the things we've placed our hope in inevitably fail? Dr. John Neufeld continues in Isaiah 40, where God commands the prophet to cry out a sobering truth: all flesh is grass, withering quickly like desert flowers in the scorching heat. But here's the contrast that changes everything: the word of our God stands forever. While idols and human plans crumble, God comes with omnipotent power, tending His flock like a shepherd who carries lambs in His arms.God and the World's Idols: What are you really worshipping?

The heart is an idol factory, constantly manufacturing gods that promise everything we desire without demanding a change of heart. Dr. John Neufeld begins a series in Isaiah 40-44, contrasting the one true God with the world's countless idols. Isaiah opens with surprising words of comfort to sinful Jerusalem: God promises her warfare will end, her iniquity will be pardoned, and a voice will cry out in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord.God and the World's Idols: What are you really worshipping?

Doing what's right over the long haul - that's what faithfulness looks like. Dr. John Neufeld concludes this series on Christ's return by examining two parables Jesus tells about watchfulness and faithfulness. Since we don't know when He's returning, we must stay awake - engaged in the Master's business and living with kingdom values. The wise and faithful servant is the one who, when the Master returns, is still doing what Christ assigned them to do.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful. But for the believers who have put their confidence fully in Christ, we know with certainty that our best days are not behind us and certainly our best days are not the ones we are living now. Our best days lie in the future, when Christ will return to gather his elect. Join Dr. Neufeld for this 5 message series in the study of Matthew 24.
