A Light Shining in the Darkness
The coming of Jesus Represents light in a battle with darkness and in the end the darkness is forced to retreat and the light ultimately triumphs.
Jesus and the Created Universe
Today I am beginning a 2 week series that deals with Christmas, the birth of Christ. John’s account if you have never heard it before is altogether stunning.
Finishing Well
Men of God, after all, are not noted for their accomplishments but they are noted as men who walk with God. That’s how they overcome discouragement and intimidation by others and a sense of aimlessness. It is this intimacy with God that drives them forward not a desire to make a name for themselves
When Faithfulness Demands Perseverance
Can you believe that the greatest work you can ever undertake as a man is simply to submit to God’s call rather than a work in which the crowds shout your praises? For if you want significance in the eyes of men you are an idolater.
Embarking on a Life of Purpose
A godly man will for the sake of Christ gladly abandon every earthly comfort take up his cross and follow his Lord unto death.
The Masculine Need for Purpose & Vision
So what does it look like to be uniquely a man, to embrace God’s design and to use His design for His glory? Today we'll continue to discover the answer as we look at the example of Nehemiah.
God’s Goodness Expressed in Male & Females
I'm going to spend this series helping young boys and young men and perhaps older men as well celebrate godly manhood. In generations past, this would have been a very easy thing to do. We tended to know what godly and ungodly manhood was and wasn’t but today we have allowed those lines and those definitions to become blurred.
God Can’t
Listen to today's Laugh Again called "God Can't" Enjoy!
Our God Saves
Our God is not a theological system or merely a matter of personal belief, we have a God who intervenes in the affairs of men. It means that it is possible for God to send His angels and shut lions mouths.
Standing Alone
Daniel 6 introduces us to the well-known story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Daniel we are told was a man who was willing to stand alone. His choice to remain faithful to his God meant that he had no one standing with him. For all of you who have ever stood alone because of your commitment to Christ, this text is of great comfort and of encouragement.
Lessons From the Damned
The damned are ready to brush others aside without acknowledging what role they have been called to play by God. They are self-focused.
When the Writing is on the Wall
I ask you, will Canada exhaust the patience of God? Perhaps. I do know at what point in time God begins to right on the wall but that event comes to anyone and even to nations that will not repent. So we exhaust the patience of God when we no longer listen to his Word or his people.
Power & Humility
Daniel’s words of counsel are for every king, every president, and every prime minister and every human being who has been given power. Use your power to bless the poor and the oppressed and the needy.
And if Not
And there is the phrase the British papers used but if not or and if not. Regardless of how God decides to treat our situation whether it be miraculous deliverance or terrible suffering for us our gate is set. We are the people of God and would rather die as such than to be delivered from our present troubles and compromise our faith.
Refusing Compromise
At some point in time every believer who names the name of Christ will have to say,“Your loving kindness is better than life.”
Glory to God in All Things
To renounce all desire for fame and to say I would see the glory of God is wise and right and leads to life
No Fear in Death
If I live it is because of the hand of God. If I die it will be to be transported into the presence of God. All is the grace of God, all is in His hands, I will kneel before Him and make my requests there.
Confidence in the Day of Trouble
The great lesson for God’s people is to learn to rely on the Lord their God and not things that go bump in the night, a tarot card, the lines on your hands or on some silly aura that is supposed to surround you.
Taking a Stand & Changing a Nation
Victorious people of God find a place to stand, to have a place in which they will never forget that they don’t belong to the dominant culture but that they are the unique people of God
Facing our Greatest Trials with Success
God is not the ticket for personal fame and fortune in this world, rather He is the ticket for personal transformation into the image of Jesus Christ himself.
Introduction to Daniel
Daniel teaches us that God is not just Lord over our churches or where Christians gather, but that he rules over all things. Evidence of this is found in every area of life and culture.
Gender and Submission to God’s Will
I want you to think of your gender as a precious gift given to you from your creator who in wisdom assigned your gender and with it gave you a task.
Sexual Morality and the Family
The fire place boundary that God placed around sex is called marriage. When the fire escapes those boundaries it can light a forest on fire, destroying not only individuals but burning an entire civilization to the ground.
Marriage and Family
God created godly men and women so that Christian men and women would live their lives in the context of marriage. From marriage would come families and in the context of families would come the heritage of the faith to the next generation.
Marriage and Covenant
Marriage was created before there was a state and it was created before the rules of worship were ever instituted. Marriage is fundamental to human life. Indeed the state and the temple are dependent on marriage.
God and Gender
I see no advantage in trying to establish laws seeking to re-establish the traditional view of marriage. I see every advantage in helping the church to live in an authentic way. And one of the places we must start is in re-teaching the value of marriage and family.

Interview with Dr. Michael Haykin Pt.1
Back to the Bible Canada celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday. In this special one-week series, Dr. John Neufeld urges Christians to think intelligently about their role and place in this nation and shares what the Bible has to say to Canada.
Celebrating our Nation
In todays message I will not compare Canada to Jerusalem but rather to Babylon. I will say that we are like Daniel, in exile.
Wise Words to Gullible People
The book of Proverbs, which is a book about wisdom, does not begin with abstract theories of what constitutes wisdom. Wisdom is rather straight forward. Wisdom is skill in living or the ability to live successfully.
The Seventh Trumpet
But before the end has come John has been given an assurance that not only will the church be victorious but that she will have completed the task of the great commission. With that,we are introduced to the blowing of the 7th trumpet.
The Hope of the Resurrection
Now, with every resurrection there is the signal of hope. Death, war, murder, hatred. These things will not have the last word. God will have the last word.
The Two Witnesses
Revelation 11 ought to be so much more than trying to understand a difficult passage. The courage of the two witnesses and the grace of God that attends their lives ought to help us remember the faithful witness of countless believers who out of love , sought to bring the gospel to the world.
God Preserves His People
Do you know that God is determined to preserve His people? One of the most beautiful truths that we can cherish is that God keeps His promises and a part of those promises include the preservation of the church.
Understanding the Plans of God
Confidence comes not with the expectation that things will be easy but with the expectation that they might be hard. But no matter how hard, God will sustain you.
No More Delay
Until the coming of our Lord, God’s people must be taught this book so that they do not become weary. Until the coming of our Lord people who are lost and living in their sin must be warned.
Purpose and Destiny
Who are you child of God? You are the one for whom God created all things. You purchased by the blood of Christ according to the covenant that God has made with Abraham in accordance with the purposes for which God created the universe that all of this was so that you might be among the special people of God.
The Killing of Mankind
There is a day coming when the earth will be dramatically and frighteningly depopulated, in a very short period of time. This will not seem a blessing indeed it will come as a sign of judgment
The Beginning of Woes
Don’t bank on the endless patience of God. God’s patience is supposed to sober you up leading you to repentance and not to complacency. Bank on the world to come. Bank on the promises of God. Bank on what Christ has accomplished in his cross.
When the Trumpets Sound
In our study today we come to the section in Revelation that describes 7 angels blowing 7 trumpets. This signals the beginning of judgment of God on the human race and the beginning of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
Hungering for Righteousness
Does it seem to you that God is not answering? He has never failed to hear prayer and He will answer every single prayer that has been prayed in righteousness.
The Company of Overcomers
We are living in a society in which the elites of our society are now looking at the Christian faith with increasing disdain and even hatred. And we will have to decide. Which world do we want? Who shall be our people? The company of overcomers? Or the company of this world?
God Protects His Own
Even though we may be called upon to suffer for Christ we will never be called upon to suffer at the hands of Christ. For there is no greater assurance than to bear His seal upon our lives and there is no greater peril than to go through life without it.
The Wrath of The Lamb
Just before the 7th seal, the Lamb of God takes his place on David’s ancient throne and rules forever.
The Ride of the Horsemen
The gospel is going forward and in many places life might even seem pleasant. But always at the corners of our worst fears, are the forces of destruction that threaten us
