Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

Jacob thinks he's finally getting his life on track — a beautiful bride, a fresh start, a future he's engineering for himself. Dr. John Neufeld shows how God has other plans, using seven hard years and a cruel deception of his own to strip Jacob of his self-confidence and teach him to depend on God alone. It's a message about the painful, patient way God shapes the people he loves.
Amazing Promises to Dysfunctional People: In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld walks through the dysfunctional family of Abraham found in Genesis 25-36, uncovering the relational brokenness at its core.

Listen in, and be challenged to live with integrity even when the world around you feels like it's falling apart.

Fleeing for his life, Jacob stumbles into an encounter with God he never saw coming — a stairway to heaven, a staggering promise, and a vow that reveals just how little he understands who God is. Dr. John unpacks Jacob's famous dream at Bethel to ask a pointed question: are we worshipping God, or just trying to strike a deal with him? True faith, he argues, isn't bargaining for blessing — it's total surrender.

Sin never stays contained — Jacob's deception sets off a chain of fractured relationships, a mother's exile from her son, and centuries of enmity between two nations. In this message, Dr. John traces the long, sobering fallout of this family's choices, while pointing to the surprising truth underneath it all: God's grace is bigger than any sin, and his promises can't be undone by our failures.

When Esau discovers his blessing is gone, his tears are real — but are they the right kind? Dr. John Neufeld uses Esau's bitter grief to draw out the difference between godly sorrow, which leads to repentance, and worldly sorrow, which leads only to blame, resentment, and death. It's a sobering look at what happens when we mourn our losses without ever facing our own part in them.

Rebekah and Jacob wanted something God had already promised them — so why did they resort to deception to get it? Dr. John Neufeld traces the slow, deliberate unraveling of Isaac's household, showing how sin rarely strikes on impulse but is conceived in the imagination long before it's carried out. From Jacob's stolen blessing to the traitor's kiss that sealed it, this message asks whether we ever really "get away with" sin — and what it costs everyone involved when we do.
