Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

Who did Jesus die for? Did He descend into hell after He died? From Galatians 6:14, Dr. John Neufeld concludes this series by showing why the Cross stands at the centre of Christian faith and life and explaining how Christ’s death is a free offer to all and a debt truly paid for believers.

The Mysteries of the Cross: Why did Jesus have to die, and what really happened on the Cross? “The Mysteries of the Cross” is a five-message series where Dr. John Neufeld teaches from Scripture on the important and contentious issue of the atonement. He covers the fundamental topics of sacrifice and wrath in the Old Testament, Jesus as our substitute, the doctrine of imputation, how Satan was defeated, and who Jesus died for. Discover why the Cross belongs at the centre of all we believe and how we live. There is no greater thing that we can do than to plumb the mysteries of the Cross!

How could a humiliating death on a Roman cross be history’s greatest victory? Working through Colossians 2:13–15, Dr. John Neufeld traces Satan’s defeat from the promise of Genesis 3:15 to the Cross, where God cancelled our record of debt, disarmed the powers of darkness, and broke Satan’s authority to hold his captives. His only remaining weapon is the lie.

If God is love, how could the Father pour out wrath on his own Son? From Romans 3:25, Dr. John Neufeld answers the charge of “cosmic child abuse,” showing that God’s wrath runs through nearly every book of the Bible and that Jesus became our propitiation, fully satisfying God’s righteous anger against sin. For those who trust Christ, the Cross is where wrath and mercy meet.

How can anyone be sure God will accept them on the last day? From 2 Corinthians 5:21, Dr. John Neufeld explains the doctrine of imputation: Adam’s sin is reckoned to us, our sin was reckoned to the sinless Christ, and Christ’s perfect righteousness is credited to all who trust Him by faith. It’s the great exchange at the heart of the Gospel.

Why can’t we just tell God we’re sorry? From 1 Corinthians 15:3, Dr. John Neufeld traces sacrifice from Abel, Noah, Abraham’s ram, and the Passover Lamb to show that sin demands the shedding of blood, that animal sacrifices never took sins away, and that all of them pointed to Christ’s death as our substitute. Discover why Paul calls the Cross “of first importance.”

Closing the series, Dr. John Neufeld tackles the claim that 40,000 Christian denominations disprove Jesus' words about love. He then turns to Philippians 2:1–2 to unpack Paul's four conditions for genuine unity among believers: encouragement in Christ, comfort from love, participation in the Spirit, and affection and sympathy.

Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he's the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about. In this 10-message series, Dr. John sets out to change that, tracing the Spirit's work from creation through the Old Testament, Pentecost, salvation, and beyond. By the end, you'll understand what you already have in the Spirit, and why it changes everything.

When everything is shaking, where can you go for truth you can trust? Dr. John Neufeld makes the case that the Holy Spirit both inspired every word of Scripture and illuminates believers' minds to understand it. This means that the Bible, not our inner feelings, is the trustworthy instrument for navigating the Christian life.

Why did God make snowflakes instead of ice cubes? Working through 1 Corinthians 12, Dr. John Neufeld shows that spiritual gifts are grace-gifts distributed by the Spirit for the good of others (never a ranking of who's more spiritual) and that using them is how an invisible Spirit becomes visible in the life of the church.

Old Testament saints had power too, so what did Pentecost actually change?
