Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

During his final 40 days, Jesus reviews Scripture with the apostles, teaching that his suffering, death, and resurrection stand at the center of everything Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms foretold (Luke 24:44-49). Dr. John pushes back on modern attempts to recast Jesus as a political revolutionary or social reformer, insisting his real message — repentance and forgiveness through the cross — is what he entrusted to the apostles to build the church upon.

Jesus appears to the assembled disciples (Luke 24:36-43), inviting them to touch his hands and feet before eating broiled fish to prove he is bodily raised. Dr. John explores why physical resurrection matters — against ancient Docetism and spiritualized views of heaven — and what it means that we are, and always will be, both flesh and spirit.

Dr. John continues the Emmaus road story (Luke 24:28-35), tracing the moment the two disciples recognize the risen Jesus in the breaking of bread.

A moving look at how encountering the risen Christ changes everything, immediately and irreversibly.

Dr. John explores Jesus' rebuke of the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:25-27) for being "slow of heart" to believe all the prophets said about the Messiah. He argues Scripture — better called the First Testament — is too often flattened into morality tales rather than read as one story of a suffering, then glorified, Savior. Using Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, he shows why the cross wasn't a detour from God's plan, but its fulfillment.

Why does Luke hold back the resurrected Jesus from this scene, focusing instead on an empty tomb, two angels, and a group of stunned, grieving women?

A crowd is handed an impossible choice: a murderer, or an innocent healer. Dr. John Neufeld traces how Pilate's attempt to compromise with evil only emboldens the crowd, until "Crucify him!" drowns out every objection.

A chapter full of forgotten names and Edomite genealogies doesn't sound like it has much to offer — until Dr. John Neufeld shows what it reveals about the cost of walking away from God's covenant, and the far greater hope hidden within it.

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?

In this message, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the strife between Esau and Jacob from birth, tracing how a divided womb becomes a divided house.

Why would God allow suffering into the lives of those He loves most? Dr. John explores the wisdom of God, rooted in Psalm 104, and traces it from the design of creation to Paul's own "thorn in the flesh."

Dr. John explores this attribute through the story of Israel's golden calf in Exodus 34, where God reveals Himself as merciful and gracious even to a people who deserved judgment. He unpacks why grace isn't God's leftovers, doled out sparingly, but an overflowing abundance poured out on those who never earned it.

Dr. John explores this attribute, rooted in James 1:17, and challenges the modern idea that "good" is simply whatever a culture happens to approve of.

Dr. John explores this foundational attribute, rooted in John 3:16, and unpacks how God's love is a holy love — one that saves sinners while never approving of sin.

What is our ultimate response to false teachers? Debate? Suspician? Fear? Dr. John ends this series on 2 Peter with the word "grace." We are to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord, who is filled with infinite grace. Being with Jesus and like Jesus, is the best defence of truth and holiness. 

Danger From Within: Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep's clothing. Paul warned of wolves among the flock. Peter alerts the Church of false teachers. It was a danger for the early church. It remains a challenge for today's Church. Listen as Dr. John unfolds 2 Peter for our caution and protection.

Dr. John teaches that "Eschatology and ethics are tied to each other." What we hope for will establish how we live. Since we have the blessed hope of Jesus' return, we ought to live holy lives. This world will go up in smoke, but we are looking to a new creation in which righteousness dwells.

If you stare at your feet while walking, every journey will feel the same. You may not sense much progress. False teachers thought that the "sameness" of life demonstrates that God is not doing much.

You can measure a quality carpenter by his work. You can discern a skilled administrator by her organization. The product of what they do speaks of who they are. So too, with false teachers.

How would you recognize a false teacher? We tend to think that false teaching is simply a theological problem. Dr. John teaches from 2 Peter that false teaching is an ethical concern. In other words, we discern heresy not just from what people say, but what people are. "Belief" and "being" are twinned, for good or evil.

There are wrongs we've committed that we got away with. The penalty or consequence didn't happen - yet. Peter reminds us that justice delayed is not an escape.

Christians aren't lawless, but the law we live under isn't the Mosaic law, it's the law of Christ. In this study of Galatians 6:1-5, Dr. John explores what it means to gently restore a brother or sister caught in sin, why self-watchfulness matters as much as concern for others, and what it looks like to bear one another's burdens.

In this study of Galatians 5:22-26, Dr. John walks through the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control - and explains how these grow not from trying harder, but from being led by the Spirit.

In this study of Galatians 5:16-20, Dr. John unpacks the battle between the flesh and the Spirit, identifying exactly what Paul means by "the works of the flesh," from sexual sin to false religion to addiction.

In this message from Galatians 5:1–15, Dr. John issues an urgent call to stand firm in the liberty of the gospel and resist every temptation to trade grace for a system of human effort.

Hagar or Sarah — which woman's son are you? In this message from Galatians 4:21–31, Dr. John unpacks Paul's striking allegory of two women, two covenants, and two ways of seeking God's promise — one by human effort, one by faith. A powerful reminder that the children of grace will always be opposed by the children of the flesh, and why the church must never compromise on it.

Why did God give the Law if salvation has always been by faith alone? In this message from Galatians 3:19–29, Dr. John explores one of Scripture's most surprising answers — that the Law was never intended to save, but to expose our sin and drive us to the only One who can. A rich and clarifying look at the relationship between Law and Gospel.

When life feels dark and God feels distant, our emotions can quickly become our loudest voice. But what if our feelings aren't telling us the truth? Drawing from Psalm 42, Dr. John Neufeld teaches that the fight of faith is learning to preach truth to your own soul — to look to the past, hope in the future, and remember who God is — until your emotions begin to follow.

When life’s troubles seem overwhelming, Psalm 34 offers hope rooted in David’s desperate escape from enemy territory. Dr. John explores this beloved psalm, where David credits his deliverance entirely to God’s faithfulness rather than his own clever schemes.

We do not call for help if we don’t perceive a problem. An undetected brake problem or cancer growing secretly, and we do not go to the mechanic or doctor. Psalm 32 may be hard to hear, but it informs us of a problem we already have. We are born into sin. When we recognize our need and confess it to God, only then can we rejoice and be glad. With God there is forgiveness!

How can David confidently say “I shall not want” when we live with so many unfulfilled desires? Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:2-3, unpacking four ways the Good Shepherd provides for our daily needs: sufficient food (“green pastures”), peace for anxious minds (“still waters”), forgiveness and spiritual renewal (“restores my soul”), and wise guidance (“paths of righteousness”). Like sheep who lie down only when fully satisfied, we can rest in the Shepherd’s care.

A God who changes his mind is a God who can't be trusted. In this episode, Dr. John explores Galatians 3:15–18 to show that the covenant God made with Abraham — sealed by God alone, requiring nothing from us but faith — was never cancelled by the law, finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, and remains as unbreakable today as the moment God first made it.

It's surprisingly easy to drift from the truth — not through obvious sin, but through the persuasive pull of a compelling teacher. In this episode, Dr. John walks through Paul's five searching questions in Galatians 3:1–6, challenging the Galatians — and us — to examine whether we're still standing on the solid ground of faith, or have slowly been talked out of it.

Does grace give us a free pass to live however we want? In this episode, Dr. John tackles one of the oldest objections to the gospel — that justification by faith alone leads to careless living. Working through Galatians 2:17–21, he shows that the life of true faith doesn't produce sinfulness, but something far more powerful: the life of Christ himself, alive and at work within the believer.

Why would Paul — a man personally taught the gospel by Jesus himself — feel the need to check his message with other church leaders? In this message from Galatians 2:1–5, Dr. John explores why there is no such thing as private Christianity. True gospel ministry is never a lone ranger operation, and those who claim special revelation while refusing accountability are a danger the church has always had to resist.

You can't take it with you — or can you? In this final message from 1 Timothy, Dr. John looks at what Paul has to say to the wealthy in the church at Ephesus.

This study brings those questions to life.

What does it look like to finish well? In this message, Dr. John looks at Paul's charge to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:13–16 — to keep the commandment unstained until Jesus returns.

And for those who do, he closes with a doxology that makes the whole thing worth it.

What does your relationship with money reveal about your faith? Drawing from 1 Timothy 6:5–10, Dr. John tackles the age-old temptation to treat godliness as a path to wealth — and offers a far better alternative. True gain, Paul says, is godliness with contentment — and in a world that is never satisfied, that is a gift worth more than any prosperity teacher can promise.

Have you ever met someone who just loves to argue? In this message, Dr. John draws from 1 Timothy 6:3–5 to explore what Paul has to say about "novelty teachers and hair-splitters" — those who trade in controversy rather than sound, life-giving truth.

Some of the most faithful servants in the early church were women who had lost everything — and yet gave everything.

Drawing from Paul's instructions to Timothy, Dr. John explores what it meant for these women to make a solemn pledge of ministry, and why their extraordinary sacrifice left a lasting mark on the church.

What does a successful pastor actually look like — and how would you know if you were one? In today's from Living the Truth, Dr. John works through 1 Timothy 4:11–16, where Paul gives Timothy a clear and practical picture of faithful ministry: teach the Word publicly, live in a way that earns trust, and keep a close watch on both your life and your doctrine.

What does Paul mean when he calls God "the Savior of all people" — and does that mean everyone ultimately makes it to heaven? In this message from Living the Truth, Dr. John Neufeld works through 1 Timothy 4:10, dismantling two common misreadings before arriving at a richer, more biblical picture of God's saving work — one that stretches from David's battlefield to a pagan harvest, and fuels Paul's relentless labour for the gospel.

What is the most important thing a pastor can do? In today's message, Dr. John opens 1 Timothy 4:6–9 to make the case that job one for every shepherd is protecting the flock through faithful, patient teaching — keeping false doctrine in check while grounding the congregation in truth.

Can a person truly fall away from the faith — and what does that mean for the security of the believer? In this message, Dr. John continues in 1 Timothy 4:1–5, examining the character of false teachers and the subtle dangers of asceticism. When we view life apart from God's intention — denying what He has called good, or abusing what He has given freely — we open the door to deception. The remedy is simple: receive God's gifts with thanksgiving, and let His Word define what is holy.

False teaching isn't simply a matter of human opinion — according to Paul, there are demonic forces actively working to lead the church astray. In this first message from Living the Truth, Dr. John Neufeld opens 1 Timothy 4:1–5 and unpacks the Holy Spirit's explicit warning: that throughout the church age, some will depart from the faith. Dr. Neufeld traces this pattern from the early church to the theological drift of the 20th century, and reminds us why faithful, obedient Bible teaching isn't optional — it's the church's first line of defence.

Why does suffering feel so personal — and could it actually be? In this message from Romans 6:5, Dr. John unpacks one of the most profound doctrines in the New Testament: union with Christ. Far from being random or meaningless, our suffering is the means by which God unites us to Jesus in His death — so that we might also share in His resurrection.
