Back To The Bible Canada With Dr. John Neufeld

Times of sunshine and times of storm can direct us to the presence of God. Both have the power to create a sense of gratitude and reliance upon God. In Psalm 25 David lifts his soul to God in a context of trouble. He discovers not only the deliverance, but the steadfast love of our Lord.  Psalms of Intimacy With God: A marriage is not just a set of obligations. Parenting is not simply a role of protection and provision. The most vital relationships of life are meant to be intimate connections of heart. So too with our relationship with God. In this 5-message series, Dr. John points to the Psalms as both invitation and instruction to know God deeply. Exactly what we want and need. 

An infinite God cannot be reduced to a single description. The Scriptures use various images and titles to portray His grandeur.

Listen as Dr. John points to the majesty of our Lord and the grace He extends to welcome us into His court. Psalms of Intimacy With God: A marriage is not just a set of obligations.

Since you listen to the news and participate in our society, you know that the Christian compass and moral fabric of our day are being abandoned. Truth has become flexible resulting in a famine of trust. What are we to do? Dr. John points to Psalm 12 as encouragement and hope. God, who is righteous, will preserve His righteous people. God, who is just, will judge between the right and wrong. The world cannot spin out of His grip.

An athlete is surrounded by those who watch from the bleachers. What if they booed instead of cheered? Will the athlete listen to their jeering and give up?

Crime shows portray wickedness through deeds of destruction and cruelty. But evil has many faces.

Victories are a cause for celebration! A graduation, job promotion or becoming cancer free - all reasons for joy. Dr. John points to the celebration of King David in Psalm 9 as a template for our successes. David sees God as the Victor and recognizes that there are more battles to come.

Where on earth do you see the glory of God? You could point to the stars in a clear night, to the flash and rumble of a storm or to the heights of snowy mountains and the lush of a flowing river. But in Psalm 8, David points to the mirror. The glory and majesty of God is reflected in all humanity and perfected in Jesus Christ. Today, marvel at that.Psalms of Refuge: Psalms of Refuge is a ten-message series focused on ten Psalms which have been described as songs of worship.

Will there be singing in heaven? Of course! And it will be the best song!  It will be a new song, a song from an angelic choir and echoed by the voices of creation. It will be the lyric of history - "The Lamb has triumphed!" It is the song of the Redeemed which we can begin to sing even now. The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future. But if curiosity is all that draws us to the Book of Revelation, we are setting our sights too low. This book is an unveiling of Jesus Christ. It is a portrait of who Jesus is, but also what Jesus wants to say to His Church in every generation. Follow this three-week series on the first 5 chapters of Revelation.

We think of heaven as being free from pain. Our tears are wiped away and there is no more suffering. But in all this bliss, there remains an eternal reminder of death. Jesus, described as the Lion of Judah, is seen as a slaughtered Lamb standing before God's throne. The sacrifice of Jesus will be an everlasting memory and a cause for unceasing praise. The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.

It is human to seek meaning. In the events and incidents of our lives, we ask, "Why?" We instinctively think of life as having direction and purpose. When John saw the scroll of history remaining closed, he wept loudly. Surely there should be someone who can open the scroll and give us hope! There is. Jesus alone is worthy by His life, death and victorious resurrection. Jesus will bring history to the Father's appointed end.The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.

The Book of Revelation is fundamentally a book of worship. While it points forward to the victorious purposes of God, it points upwards to the exalted position of God and the response of heaven to Him. In chapter four, we witness strange and wonderful creatures proclaiming: God is worthy, God is holy, God is timeless, God is the source and end of all things. Worship is the language of heaven and earth.The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.

If we refer to someone as being downcast, it speaks of their mood and perspective. In a spirit of discouragement, their eyes are focused on what is around them. John wrote to seven churches of what was around them - some of it hopeful, some of it challenging. But now in Revelation 4 and 5, John writes of what is above. Colours and sounds. Angels and Elders. The Throne of God and His glory. There is wonder and power in the plans of God. Just look up.The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.

Every church faces the danger of "institutionalization." It's a long word to describe a church that begins to function simply to exist for their own ends. Keeping the doors open matters more than the calling and purposes of God. Laodicea was deluded into thinking that their status and actions made them rich. God saw them as useless for His Kingdom. Their pretence could only be broken by repentance. Jesus is knocking at the door. The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.

We think of a "door of opportunity" as something that swings open for our response, but be quick! The door may close. Jesus has a different message for the church of Philadelphia. Jesus opens a door that no one can shut. God had placed before the congregation a calling that, while it held challenges, they can trust their Lord as they walk through this open door. The Triumph of the Lamb: Vol 1: It's natural to want to know the future.
