Jesus warned His followers they would face persecution—from synagogues, prisons, and even their own families. But rather than promising escape, He promised something better: divine wisdom in the moment of trial and eternal protection. Dr. John examines Luke 21:12-19, showing how Paul transformed imprisonment into opportunity and how Jesus calls us not to anxious preparation, but to joyful confidence that persecution becomes our greatest platform for witness.

The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

Why do so many Christians want to give more—but feel like they can’t?

Most of us want to be generous, but there are often barriers—spiritual, financial, or even emotional—that hold us back. Today, Ron Blue joins us to unpack five key reasons why Christians don’t give more, and how we can begin climbing toward greater generosity.

Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.

Generosity is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity, yet many Christians find themselves wanting to give more but feeling unable to do so. Over the years, most believers face five primary barriers to generosity. 

These form a kind of “pyramid,” with each level building on the one below it. The journey toward greater giving begins with the heart and ends with intentional planning.

Before generosity ever shows up in our bank accounts, it begins in our hearts. When we grasp who God is, who we are, and the grace that has been extended to us, generosity naturally flows from that understanding.

The more we understand God’s ownership and our role as stewards, the more we want to give. Spiritual maturity is the foundation—without it, our giving will always feel like an obligation instead of an act of worship.

Even when our hearts are in the right place, poor financial habits can make generosity difficult. Many believers simply can’t give more because they’re weighed down by debt, overspending, or disorganization.

It often takes time—sometimes even years—to align our finances with our convictions. That might mean getting out of credit card debt, restructuring a business, or learning to live within our means. When we get our financial house in order, we create margin for generosity to flourish.

People don’t give to spreadsheets or buildings—they give to vision. When we can picture the impact of our giving, we’re motivated to invest more deeply.

A clear vision fuels generosity. Ask yourself: Where has God stirred my heart? What Kingdom work do I feel most passionate about? When we see how our resources can change lives—whether feeding children, funding missions, or supporting local ministries—we begin to give with joy and purpose.

Generosity rarely happens in isolation. We need relationships that encourage us to live open-handedly. When we surround ourselves with generous people—friends who talk about giving, pray about giving, and celebrate giving—we’re inspired to do the same.

Scripture reminds us that we are to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). Community reminds us that generosity isn’t just an individual act—it’s part of how the body of Christ functions together.

Finally, generosity grows through intentional planning. I’ve seen it over and over in my work as a financial planner: when people create a plan for their giving, their generosity increases dramatically—sometimes fivefold.

A plan brings clarity and purpose. It helps you set a “finish line” for lifestyle and accumulation so you can redirect mo

Demons, Satan, and the powers of darkness are real and at work. Do you know how to recognize and combat them? Chip begins "The Invisible War" with an overview of who the Enemy is and how they operate.

• GENERAL Command (Eph. 6:10) “Allow yourself to be continually strengthened by the power already made available to you in your new position and relationship with Christ.” It is the power that raised Christ from the dead and now dwells in you.
• SPECIFIC Command (Eph. 6:11) How? By continually and repeatedly putting on, at specific points in time, the spiritual protection God has provided for you... for the express purpose of holding on to your position in Christ as you are bombarded by Satanic strategies designed to destroy you and/or render you ineffective in Kingdom pursuits.
• The REASON for Commands (Eph. 6:12) It’s because our real struggle is not against physical/material adversaries, but against a hierarchy of demonic forces doing battle in the spiritual realm.

Five basic truths about spiritual warfare:

1. There is an INVISIBLE world that is just as real as the visible world.
2. We are involved in an invisible WAR, a cosmic conflict that has eternal implications.
3. Our foe is FORMIDABLE and his goal is to destroy us and discredit the cause of Christ.
4. We must RESPECT our foe, but not FEAR him – become acutely aware of his “methods,” but not be preoccupied by them.
5. As believers in Christ, we do not fight “for” victory, we fight “FROM” victory. In Christ’s power we are invincible!

Summary:

1. Satan is a DEFEATED foe. -Jn 12:31
2. Jesus DESTROYED the work of the devil. -Col 2:14-15
3. We are VICTORS in Christ. -1 Cor 15:55-58
4. We have the POWER and resources to resist Satan and demonic attacks. -1 Jn 4:4
5. We must LEARN how to put on the “full armor of God” to experience in daily living the victory we already possess. -Eph 6:13-17
