Some moments in history are so defining they serve as lessons for all time. Dr. John Neufeld examines Jesus' cryptic reference to "the abomination of desolation" from Daniel's prophecy - a warning that was fulfilled in A.D. 70 when Roman forces destroyed Jerusalem. Christians who heeded Jesus' words escaped the city during what became unprecedented suffering for the Jewish people, proving that when Jesus speaks about the future, His words are always trustworthy.

The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful. But for the believers who have put their confidence fully in Christ, we know with certainty that our best days are not behind us and certainly our best days are not the ones we are living now. Our best days lie in the future, when Christ will return to gather his elect. Join Dr. Neufeld for this 5 message series in the study of Matthew 24. 

Do you live life sensibly and carefully? Or are you someone who lives with great enjoyment, unafraid to take risks? It’s never too late to live life to its fullest.

Our earliest childhood interactions will shape how we connect and communicate with each other as adults. Based on the book How We Love, Milan and Kay Yerkovich and Marc and Amy Cameron help couples discover their love or attachment styles, which shape behaviors, beliefs and expectations within marriage. The five love styles they describe are: secure connector, avoider, pleaser, vacillator, and chaotic (controller and victim).

You will never forgive anyone more than God has already forgiven you. Is it still hard to consider the thought of forgiving the one who hurt you?

If so, go one more time to the room. Watch Jesus as he goes from disciple to disciple. Can you see him? Can you hear the water splash? Can you hear him shuffle on the floor to the next person? Keep that image. John 13:12 says, “When he had finished washing their feet…” Please note: he finished washing their feet. That means he left no one out. Why is that important? Because that means he washed the feet of Judas. Jesus washed the feet of his betrayer.

That’s not to say it was easy for Jesus. That’s not to say it’s easy for you. That is to say God will never call you to do what he hasn’t already done.
