Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

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? 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.

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. 

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow. Dr. John Neufeld examines Jesus' parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24, addressing the disciples' burning question: when will these things happen? Jesus makes it clear that no one knows the day or hour of His return - not even the Son in His human nature. The lesson isn't about calculating timelines, but about living in continual expectation, knowing we're in the era of Christ's return.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful.

What we know with certainty about the future changes everything about how we face the present. Dr. John Neufeld continues in Matthew 24, examining Jesus' warnings about false messiahs who will arise in the last days, performing signs to deceive many. Jesus assures His followers the true Savior will not appear in secret locations, but visibly across the heavens like lightning, returning in power and glory to gather His elect.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful.
