A dispute erupts among the disciples about who is greatest—even at the Last Supper. Dr. John examines Jesus' radical redefinition of greatness and leadership, contrasting worldly power with servant leadership that genuinely cares for the flock. He reveals that true greatness means using whatever authority God assigns to bless others for His glory, and that faithfulness now prepares us for greater responsibility in the Kingdom to come.

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.

Do you know what the basic needs of your spouse are? When needs aren't met it's easy for a relationship to find itself in a state of disrepair. Here are the five major needs of husbands and wives.

Rosie Makinney discovered her husband’s pornography addiction during their honeymoon. This was a devastating revelation, yet she also knew the porn had to stop and boldly challenged her husband to choose to save their marriage. As a result, Rosie’s husband began a recovery process with a support group, accountability and fellowship. Rosie formed her own group for wives of porn addicts. In this interview, Rosie will offer a Bible-based strategy for wives who want to rescue their marriages from their husband’s pornography addiction. Rosie also addresses how a growing number of women and girls are now becoming addicted to pornography.

How would you fill in this blank: a person is made right with God through…what? A person is made right with God through…being good. Pay your taxes. Give sandwiches to the poor. Don’t drink too much, or drink at all. Christian conduct, that’s the secret. Suffering, there’s the answer. Doctrine, that’s how to be made right with God.

No, no, no. All of the above are tried, all are taught, but none are from God. In fact, that’s the problem – none are from God. Who does the saving, you or him?

Romans 3:28 says, “A person is made right with God through faith.” Not through good works, suffering, or doctrine. They may be the result of salvation, but they’re not the cause of it. Faith in God’s sacrifice, in the gift of his Son. It’s not what you do; it’s what he did.
