Jesus has surprising praise for an unlikely role model: the dishonest manager. But in the surprise of what Jesus has to say, we learn a key lesson about money: its very best use in this world is to invest in people and make friends for eternity.

How do you confront an unbelieving friend involved in habitual sin? I've been hunting for a job for a long time. What should I do? My friends reject my explanation of 1 John 1:9. Is there a way that I can explain it better?

Forgiveness isn't always easy—but Jesus commands it. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Luke 17, where Christ warns against spiritual stumbling blocks and calls believers to confront sin with humility and forgive those who repent.

When Jesus commanded His disciples to forgive repeatedly, they responded, "Increase our faith." Why? Because true forgiveness requires more than human strength. It takes faith rooted in God's Word, prayer, and complete dependence on Jesus Christ.

Dr. Youssef reminds us that faith fosters forgiveness. When we trust God's power instead of our own, we can release bitterness, reject self-righteousness, and extend the mercy we have received.

This episode calls you to:

• Recognize spiritual traps and false teaching,
• Confront sin with humility and Biblical Truth,
• Forgive others without keeping score,
• Ask God to increase your faith,
• Overcome bitterness through prayer and surrender,
• Show Christ's mercy while awaiting His return.

Forgiveness begins with faith. When Christ strengthens our hearts, we can forgive what once seemed impossible.

Why would anyone be tempted to be ashamed of good news? Looking at Romans 1:16–17, Dr. John Neufeld gives three reasons Paul was not ashamed of the gospel: because of its power, its content, and its promise. Here we begin to explore what the gospel actually is: that Jesus saves anyone who believes, crediting us with His righteousness.

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.
