Why do so many believers try to build their faith without a foundation? And what is the foundation? Dr. John Neufeld outlines the book of Romans explains why it was written to a church divided between Jewish and Gentile believers. Romans is what Paul preached everywhere, beginning with the foundational truth of the Gospel and ending with its practical result in our lives. Discover why Paul's letter to the Romans is Christianity 101.

The Heart of the Gospel: This 25-message series on Romans 1–4 presents us with Christianity 101. It is the basics of our faith, teaching us how we can know for certain that sins are forgiven and what it is to live by faith.

When Jesus found the just healed man in the temple, he told him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you” (John 5:14 NKJV). Stagnant, do-nothingness is deemed as a serious offense. No more Bethesda for you. No more waking up and going to sleep in the same mess.

God is the God of forward motion. The God of tomorrow. The man in John’s story had waited 38 years but something about the presence of Christ, the question of Christ, the command of Christ convinced him not to wait another day. Let’s join him. Ask the Lord this question, “What can I do today that will take me in the direction of a better tomorrow?” Keep asking until you hear an answer. And once you hear it, do it. Stand up, take up, and walk. Remember friends, you are never alone.

Season 3, Episode 13

In this episode, Michael and Zach continue The Unseen Realm 2.0 by separating the biblical portrait of Satan from the traditions that have filled in the gaps. They begin with John Milton’s Paradise Lost, showing how its dramatic rebellion, war in heaven, and cast of fallen angels helped shape the way many Christians imagine Satan—even where Scripture itself is far less specific. The discussion then examines Beelzebub, Belial, Moloch, and Mammon, asking what the Bible actually says about each name. From there, Michael and Zach turn to the mysterious Azazel of Leviticus 16 and the origin of the “scapegoat,” before addressing another popular misconception: Satan does not rule hell; Scripture presents final judgment as his punishment, while describing his present influence in the world as real but temporary and subordinate to God. The episode closes with Genesis 3:15 and the biblical emphasis not on Satan’s elaborate backstory, but on his promised and certain defeat.
