Dr. John examines Luke 21:5-11, showing how Jesus calls us to steady confidence rather than anxious speculation about the end times.The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity.

In the final message of his series "The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men," Dr. John Neufeld concludes his study of 1 Corinthians 7 by offering practical wisdom for choosing a lifestyle that honors God.

Should young Christians pursue marriage or remain single?

In a culture obsessed with advancement and self-improvement, how does the Bible call us to live? Dr. John Neufeld explores the radical Christian virtue of contentment from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, teaching that believers are called to embrace God's assignment in whatever situation they find themselves. Paul's principle remains: be content where God has placed you while seeking freedom when possible, and find satisfaction not in changing your circumstances, but in recognizing the spiritual riches you possess in Christ.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What should a Christian do when married to a non-believer? Dr. John Neufeld tackles this challenging question from 1 Corinthians 7:12-16, clarifying that while the Bible prohibits believers from marrying unbelievers, when someone becomes a Christian after marriage, Paul's instruction is clear: stay in the marriage if the unbelieving spouse is willing. Dr. Neufeld explains the concept of "contagious holiness" and addresses what to do when an unbeliever chooses to leave because of their partner's faith.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Is singleness or marriage the ideal Christian life? Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 7:1-7, showing that both callings have distinct advantages and challenges.

Why does the Bible treat sexual sin differently from other sins? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, revealing that sexual expression is never merely physical.

Sexual sin creates a unique spiritual wound because it violates the deepest intimacy God created for us.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What does true Christian freedom really mean? Dr. John Neufeld tackles 1 Corinthians 6:12-17, where the Corinthians claimed "all things are lawful for me." Paul doesn't reject freedom—he redefines it. Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want impulsively; it's the ability to choose deliberately what honors Christ. Your body isn't insignificant—it's designed for worship and part of God's eternal plan.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Can someone truly claim to be a Christian while continuing in patterns of sin? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 6:7-11, where Paul lists behaviors—from sexual immorality to theft and greed—that characterize the unregenerate life. Paul's shocking conclusion: believers should accept financial loss rather than disgrace Christ's name in court. True salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's liberation from the sins that once dominated us.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What should Christians do when conflicts with fellow believers threaten to end up in court? Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 6:1-8, where Paul instructs believers to resolve disputes within the church rather than secular courts. These conflicts are ultimately spiritual, not merely legal, requiring the wisdom of the cross—repentance, reconciliation, and love—that courts cannot provide. This message challenges churches to establish godly dispute resolution processes that honour Christ's name.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Christians often wonder where to take their stand in a culture whose values conflict with Scripture. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, where Paul clarifies a crucial distinction: believers are called to engage with sinners in the world, but must not tolerate unrepentant sin among those who claim to follow Christ. We often get this backwards—condemning the world while excusing ourselves. God's mission is for the church to be salt and light, offering the world an attractive alternative rather than a mirror image of its brokenness.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What business is the church in? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 5:6-13, challenging believers to understand their true identity as God's people. Using Paul's analogy of leaven, he shows how tolerating sin transforms a church from the inside out, causing it to lose its unique identity. The church's business isn't fitting into culture to attract people—it's being the redeemed people of God who provide a hopeful alternative to a broken world.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Excommunication reminds us of church wounds and harsh judgments, yet the Bible teaches it has a place. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 to show that biblical church discipline, when done correctly, is actually an act of love. A faithful church grieves over sin and, when necessary, removes unrepentant members—not to be cruel, but to protect the church's holiness and hopefully lead the person to repentance. Paul teaches that excommunication must be done under Christ's authority, yet is always undertaken with hope for restoration.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Most of us don't want to be told what to do, especially about personal matters like sexuality. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, where Paul addresses a shocking case of sexual immorality that even pagan culture condemned. The church's failure to act wasn't just tolerance; it was arrogance about their own spirituality. Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to understand that God calls the church to be radically counter-cultural in sexual ethics, holding one another accountable rather than ignoring sin while condemning the world.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 5-7, examining how believers navigate sexuality, disputes, marriage, and singleness differently than the world around them. Christianity requires accountability within the church community, not just individual faith. As believers live obediently to Scripture, they naturally stand apart from cultural values by faithfully following Jesus.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Can you truly follow Jesus without the church? Dr. John Neufeld tackles this question head-on, defining what the church actually is—not a building or clergy, but an assembly of God's people.

Being forgiven and going to heaven would be wonderful enough, but God wasn't satisfied with making us merely His servants or subjects. Dr. John Neufeld explores adoption as the highest privilege of the gospel - being made sons and daughters of the King of the universe. Using 1 John 3:1-3, he shows how this transforms three relationships: with God (calling Him "Abba Father"), with the world (sharing Christ's rejection and honor), and with the future (inheriting everything as fellow heirs with Christ).Making the Most of Your Salvation: In a world of endless technology, the opportunity for learning, communicating, and creating is at an all-time high.

Many Christians live under a cloud of guilt, constantly wondering if God is angry with them for their latest failure. Dr. John Neufeld explains justification as God's legal declaration of "not guilty" based on Christ's finished work. He reveals three liberating benefits: complete freedom from condemnation and guilt, release from trying to earn God's favour through religious performance, and the end of spiritual pride since justification comes entirely as God's unmerited gift.Making the Most of Your Salvation: In a world of endless technology, the opportunity for learning, communicating, and creating is at an all-time high.

Before salvation, we were spiritually dead - incapable of responding to God despite all our religious efforts. Dr. John Neufeld explains regeneration as God's "heart transplant" that makes us spiritually alive. Using Acts 16:14, he shows how God creates a new nature within believers that produces five remarkable abilities: an inability to continue in sin, Christ-like love, power to overcome worldly pressures, protection from Satan, and genuine spiritual hunger.Making the Most of Your Salvation: In a world of endless technology, the opportunity for learning, communicating, and creating is at an all-time high.

How can you be certain you're going to heaven? Dr. John Neufeld tackles this eternal question through the doctrine of imputation - the "great exchange" at the heart of salvation. Using 2 Corinthians 5:21, he explains three crucial truths: we're born with Adam's sin charged to our account, Christ took our sin upon himself at the cross, and his perfect righteousness is credited to us through faith alone. Understanding this transforms anxious believers into confident children of God.Making the Most of Your Salvation: In a world of endless technology, the opportunity for learning, communicating, and creating is at an all-time high.
