The Unavoidable Kingdom

Dr. John explores this by comparing worldly kingdoms to God's lasting kingdom, drawing wisdom from 1 Corinthians 2:6-8. As Jesus approaches Jerusalem, the focus shifts to how His sacrifice establishes God's kingdom. He highlights how small beginnings—like the mustard seed and leaven—can lead to significant growth and impact, illustrating the triumph of God's kingdom over worldly powers.

Compassion on the Sabbath

October 23, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Luke 13:10–17

Jesus reminds us that the Sabbath was made for humanity's benefit, not as a burden to bear. Join Dr. John as he uncovers the true purpose of rest and the importance of showing love and compassion to those in need.
