Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

There is an unseen world, just as real as anything we can discern by our five senses. The Scriptures point to this world and the battle within. Light battles darkness. Angels wrestle with demons. We too are engaged and affected by this spiritual warfare. In this message, Dr. John will address a redacted world view which is blind to the supernatural realities around us. Listen and consider the unseen.The Invisible War: We live in a world with both physical and spiritual realities. The first is easily perceived. The other requires faith founded upon God’s Word. Scripture speaks of a spiritual battle, current and inescapable. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on this unseen war. Listen, and be be prepared to stand in the victory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

At times we are cautioned not to burn any bridges behind us. It is thought to be wisdom to leave a back door option for returning. Dr. John points to Israel at the Red Sea and teaches that the crossing was like a burning bridge. God was closing any option for Israel to return to Egypt. The way of faith is forward. We must not use fear as a reason to return to what was. In His mercy, God may burn our bridges behind us. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap. In this 25-message series from Exodus, Dr. John will show that God’s rescue of Israel is not just from slavery, but to a covenant. Deliverance and promise are the themes of Exodus and the themes of our own redemption.

Trust is not our default position. There has been much in life to teach us suspicion and cynicism. God calls us to abandon our self-protective ways and trust Him. Dr. John demonstrates the faithfulness of our God. The pattern of His power and provision for our lives becomes the platform on which faith stands. We may waiver and disappoint, but God never does.God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

"The just shall live by faith!" Faith is not only the gate to redemption, it is the path of redemption as well. Dr. John teaches from Exodus 13 and demonstrates how God both requires and grows trust within Israel. God led them away from battles because they were not ready. God commanded generosity to develop trust along the way. We can all be encouraged that God not only commands faith from us, but nurtures it within us. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

A life of faith requires memory. What is and what will be, is shaped by what has been. The Passover meal was commanded with specific instructions. It was to be held in the same way, at the same time, every year. The meal became a means of instruction for families throughout generations. Listen as Dr. John points to our need to remember. Our faith is not novel but rooted in the Word and Ways of God. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

There are scenes in life too terrible to imagine. We hear of a tragedy and struggle to conceive of the pain and loss. As Dr. John walks us through Exodus, we come to such a scene. The 10th plague is the death of every firstborn in Egypt. Only those households covered by the passover blood are protected. Can there be any worse death imaginable? Dr. John points us to the sacrifice of Jesus; the Firstborn of God; the Passover lamb for us all. Out of death, God brings redemption and life everlasting.God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

The Exodus is the central event in Jewish faith and Old Testament narrative. It is the account of judgement, deliverance and shed blood. In this message, Dr. John demonstrates that this 10th plague foreshadows the central event in Christian faith and the Biblical narrative. Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb for all. His life and death speak of judgement, deliverance and shed blood. Both events prove that we cannot rescue ourselves. We are redeemed by faith in the merciful acts of God. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

We have lost the sense of night's darkness. With the flick of a switch, we can read in the dark, take a midnight stroll, or work past sunset. But, for generations, the dark of night was to be feared. In this message, Dr. John walks us through the 9th plague - the descent of darkness upon Egypt. The darkness paralyzed Egypt for three days and was a shadow of what was to come: death. Darkness whispers judgement. As "children of the light", let us praise God for glorious rescue of the gospel found in Jesus Christ.God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

God is God and we are not. That truth is clear, but humanity still resists. Hearts can resist, deny, argue and rebel. The kingdom of self challenges the rule of God. Dr. John points us to the heart of Pharoah, hardened against the ways and will of God. We are reminded that even Christian hearts can be proud. The path of humility finds the grace of God. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.

The Westminster Shorter Catechism teaches that the chief end of man is "to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." The glory of God is not only the ultimate purpose of humanity, it is the reason for all things. In this  message, Dr. John reminds us that God's glory is the answer to every question of "Why?" Pharoah and all of Egypt were about to learn that through the plagues. It is our lesson as well.God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap.
