Paul is in prison — but who really put him there? In this introduction to the final four chapters of Acts, Dr. John explores how God's providence works through injustice, inconvenience, and interrupted plans. From Paul's unjust imprisonment in Caesarea to Luther translating the Bible in a castle basement, discover how our greatest setbacks can become our greatest assignments — and what it means to call yourself a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world’s worst cannot impede God’s best.

Is the good life measured by wealth and comfort, or by something deeper? In this second part of Psalm 37, Dr. John Neufeld examines David's description of the wicked versus the righteous, revealing that true prosperity consists of generosity, wisdom, justice, and inner peace. God promises the righteous: He will grant the desires of their hearts, bring their righteousness to light, give them an eternal inheritance, and never abandon them.

What do you do when evil people seem to prosper while you struggle? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 37, where an elderly David offers timeless counsel for navigating difficult seasons.

David confronts our three greatest fears: death, enemies, and the future. Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:4-6, showing how the Good Shepherd protects us through the "valley of the shadow of death"—because it's only a shadow, not death itself. God prepares a banquet for us in full view of our enemies, demonstrating His care while they watch. And His goodness and mercy will follow us forever—not just for our earthly days, but for eternity. Our best days are ahead of us.

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.

Our culture creates endless wants—bigger houses, newer cars, more stuff. But what does it mean when David declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want"? Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:1, clarifying that this doesn't mean we stop wanting things, but that we shall lack nothing we truly need. Like a good shepherd who knows exactly what his sheep need, God has arranged everything for our care.

The New Apostolic Reformation movement claims to have contemporary apostles who receive new revelation equal to Scripture, effectively ending sola scriptura. Dr. John Neufeld explains how this movement argues the Bible is insufficient for today's church and that modern "apostles" give new words adding to biblical truth. Dr. John demonstrates that unless we have a closed canon—66 books and no more—we're saying Jesus didn't complete God's plan.

The Case for Sola Scriptura: Is the Bible alone our ultimate authority? In this 5-part series, Dr. John Neufeld defends sola scriptura—that Scripture alone is our final authority for faith and practice. He addresses challenges from Roman Catholicism, Protestant liberalism, and the New Apostolic Reformation. Dr. John demonstrates that the 66 books of Scripture form a closed canon—God's complete and final word.

While Jesus affirmed the complete authority and accuracy of Scripture, modern Protestant liberalism has abandoned sola scriptura by claiming the Bible contains errors or is merely humanity's search for God. Dr. John Neufeld traces how German scholars began questioning Moses' authorship and denying Jesus' miracles, replacing biblical Christianity with cultural affirmation and self-actualization. Wherever the preaching of Scripture is absent, sola scriptura is disregarded, and the church is hollowed out.

Can tradition hold equal authority with Scripture? Dr. John Neufeld examines what Jesus taught about tradition in Mark 7:1-13, where the Pharisees criticized His disciples for not following ceremonial hand washing traditions. Jesus responded by quoting Isaiah: "They teach as doctrines the commandments of men." When tradition conflicts with Scripture—as when the Pharisees used "Corban" to avoid honouring their parents—tradition always loses. Jesus Himself practiced sola scriptura.

Roman Catholics argue that sola scriptura has splintered Protestantism into countless interpretations. Dr. John Neufeld responds by distinguishing between sola scriptura (Scripture as final authority) and solo scriptura (Scripture alone, rejecting all church history). Historic Protestants affirm Scripture's ultimate authority while valuing church fathers and the ecumenical creeds.
