Closing the series, Dr. John Neufeld tackles the claim that 40,000 Christian denominations disprove Jesus&#39; words about love. He then turns to Philippians 2:1–2 to unpack Paul&#39;s four conditions for genuine unity among believers: encouragement in Christ, comfort from love, participation in the Spirit, and affection and sympathy.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about. In this 10-message series, Dr. John sets out to change that, tracing the Spirit&#39;s work from creation through the Old Testament, Pentecost, salvation, and beyond. By the end, you&#39;ll understand what you already have in the Spirit, and why it changes everything.

When everything is shaking, where can you go for truth you can trust? Dr. John Neufeld makes the case that the Holy Spirit both inspired every word of Scripture and illuminates believers&#39; minds to understand it. This means that the Bible, not our inner feelings, is the trustworthy instrument for navigating the Christian life.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Why did God make snowflakes instead of ice cubes? Working through 1 Corinthians 12, Dr. John Neufeld shows that spiritual gifts are grace-gifts distributed by the Spirit for the good of others (never a ranking of who&#39;s more spiritual) and that using them is how an invisible Spirit becomes visible in the life of the church.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Old Testament saints had power too, so what did Pentecost actually change? Dr. John Neufeld unpacks four kinds of power the church received that no one had known before: power to win converts at an unprecedented scale, power over indwelling sin, power over Satan and the demonic, and power for spiritual gifts.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

This topic has divided churches for years, so Dr. John looks at every place the Bible talks about the &#34;baptism of the Holy Spirit&#34; to figure out what it really means. His answer: every believer receives this the moment they trust in Christ — it isn&#39;t a separate experience reserved for some Christians. He also explains why the Bible talks about being &#34;filled&#34; with the Spirit again and again, and why that&#39;s something different — a renewal every Christian can keep asking for.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John argues that most believers tell their conversion story while quietly leaving out the Holy Spirit — the one who actually raised their spiritually dead heart to respond to Christ. Drawing on Ephesians 2, Ezekiel 36, and the story of Lazarus, he traces how regeneration, sanctification, and ongoing growth in holiness are all the Spirit&#39;s work, and why giving him credit matters for guarding against pride.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John explores the meaning of Pentecost — the Jewish Feast of Weeks — and the momentous events of Acts 2, where the Spirit descends with wind, fire, and tongues. He explains what made this day genuinely new compared to the Spirit&#39;s Old Testament activity: a fuller indwelling, a deeper understanding of Christ, and unprecedented power to draw people to salvation, evidenced by 3,000 conversions on a single day.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John traces the Holy Spirit&#39;s work throughout the Old Testament — sustaining creation, empowering judges and kings, and inspiring prophets — then tackles a key question: did Old Testament believers actually have the Spirit dwelling in them, or only resting on them temporarily? Drawing on Romans 8 and the lives of Enoch, Abraham, and David, he argues the Spirit was already at work within God&#39;s people, even as Pentecost would bring something greater still.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John opens a two-week series on the Holy Spirit by tackling the doctrine of the Trinity — how Scripture insists on one God while also revealing Father, Son, and Spirit as distinct, equal persons. Drawing on passages like Acts 5 and John 14, he shows the Spirit is a true person, not merely a force, and why understanding him rightly transforms how we relate to God.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John closes out the Gospel of Luke with Jesus&#39; ascension from Bethany (Luke 24:50-53), arguing that heaven is a real, physical place rather than a purely spiritual state, and that Jesus&#39; ascension was a genuine bodily journey there. He explores what it means that Christ is now seated at the right hand of the Father — his finished work, his present reign, and his ongoing priestly intercession for believers — and why the disciples returned to Jerusalem rejoicing rather than grieving.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke&#39;s account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

During his final 40 days, Jesus reviews Scripture with the apostles, teaching that his suffering, death, and resurrection stand at the center of everything Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms foretold (Luke 24:44-49). Dr. John pushes back on modern attempts to recast Jesus as a political revolutionary or social reformer, insisting his real message — repentance and forgiveness through the cross — is what he entrusted to the apostles to build the church upon.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Jesus appears to the assembled disciples (Luke 24:36-43), inviting them to touch his hands and feet before eating broiled fish to prove he is bodily raised. Dr. John explores why physical resurrection matters — against ancient Docetism and spiritualized views of heaven — and what it means that we are, and always will be, both flesh and spirit.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Dr. John continues the Emmaus road story (Luke 24:28-35), tracing the moment the two disciples recognize the risen Jesus in the breaking of bread. He reflects on hearts &#34;burning&#34; over Scripture, the inseparability of knowing Jesus and knowing the Bible, and why the disciples couldn&#39;t wait until morning to share the news. A moving look at how encountering the risen Christ changes everything, immediately and irreversibly.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Dr. John explores Jesus&#39; rebuke of the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:25-27) for being &#34;slow of heart&#34; to believe all the prophets said about the Messiah. He argues Scripture — better called the First Testament — is too often flattened into morality tales rather than read as one story of a suffering, then glorified, Savior. Using Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, he shows why the cross wasn&#39;t a detour from God&#39;s plan, but its fulfillment.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Why couldn&#39;t two grieving disciples recognize Jesus walking right beside them on the road to Emmaus? Dr. John traces their conversation with the risen Christ, revealing how their crushed hopes stemmed from a selective reading of Scripture — clinging to the promises they wanted while skipping over the suffering their own prophets had foretold.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Why does Luke hold back the resurrected Jesus from this scene, focusing instead on an empty tomb, two angels, and a group of stunned, grieving women? Dr. John unpacks the discovery at the tomb and the disciples&#39; skeptical reaction to the women&#39;s report, showing how the real climax isn&#39;t just seeing Jesus alive — it&#39;s realizing that everything he ever promised has come true.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

What happens to our faith when hope seems to collapse? Dr. John examines the surprising courage of Joseph of Arimathea, a secret believer who finally steps into the open to claim Jesus&#39;s body, alongside the quiet, unwavering faithfulness of the women who never left his side — a reminder that God&#39;s sustaining grace meets us in our darkest hours.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

Why do Christians celebrate a death? Dr. John examines the three extraordinary events surrounding Jesus&#39;s final moments — the supernatural darkness, the torn temple curtain, and his last words entrusting his spirit to the Father — along with the reactions of those who witnessed it. It&#39;s a powerful look at how the cross transforms a place once forbidden to sinners into an open invitation to draw near to God.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.

What does it really mean to be saved? Dr. John explores the many faces of salvation at the cross — Jesus&#39;s prayer of mercy for the soldiers crucifying him, the mockery of the religious rulers, and the two criminals hanging beside him. It&#39;s a powerful look at how true salvation must reach beyond our circumstances to free us from the eternal weight of sin.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again.
