Perspective Shift // Psalm 42:11

By Mark Jordan | May 6, 2025 | Comments Off on Perspective Shift // Psalm 42:11

The question in today’s verse is one I ask myself when I get discouraged. Why indeed? God is the beginning, the end, and everything in between. He is all, has all, sees all, and accomplishes all. When I get down, it’s typically because I lose that perspective. I know I need a perspective shift and…

Jesus > Everything // 1 John 4:4

By Mark Jordan | May 5, 2025 | Comments Off on Jesus > Everything // 1 John 4:4

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” This is true precisely because of what today’s verse says that the One who is in you (Jesus) is greater than the one who is in the world (the accuser). The…

Do Not Fear // Isaiah 43:1

By Mark Jordan | May 4, 2025 | Comments Off on Do Not Fear // Isaiah 43:1

The Bible has 365 different messages that tell us not to fear. Pretty cool, huh? But why? It’s because when God claims us, we cannot be counterclaimed. The rest of Isaiah 43 talks about how God is with us when the fires blaze and flood water rise; in other words, the elements we cannot control…

Replace Worry with Worship // Matthew 6:25

By Mark Jordan | May 3, 2025 | Comments Off on Replace Worry with Worship // Matthew 6:25

I can be a bit of a worry wort. I wish I wasn’t, but alas. Jesus told His followers not to worry because the same God who cares and provides for even the birds cares and provides for you and me. The difference is we tend to think we are the source of all that…

God is Still at Work // Philippians 1:6

By Mark Jordan | May 2, 2025 | Comments Off on God is Still at Work // Philippians 1:6

It always brings me comfort that God isn’t finished with the world, with others, and even me. I struggle at times when I consider the gap between my expectations and God’s reality. Still, I have faith in God, hope that God’s way wins in the end, and know that love will get us from here-and-now…

World Laughter Day // Psalm 126:1-2

By Mark Jordan | May 1, 2025 | Comments Off on World Laughter Day // Psalm 126:1-2

Today is World Laughter Day. I’m sure you know that laughter is the best medicine. I think about that in terms of a string of absolutely crazy things that happened to our family dating back almost six months now. We’ve had thing after thing happen from appliances going belly-up, car troubles, health issues, HOA write-ups,…

May the 4th be with You

By Mark Jordan | April 30, 2025 | Comments Off on May the 4th be with You

A message by Dr. Mark Jordan, Pastor Click here to watch the clip from Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Romans 6:1-11 (NIV) | What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it…

Living Sacrifices // Romans 12:1

By Mark Jordan | April 30, 2025 | Comments Off on Living Sacrifices // Romans 12:1

Today’s verse gives us an interesting contrast to the Old Testament rituals of sacrifice. The people would come to sacrifice different animals for different reasons. The Bible mentions some forty times how God enjoys the aroma of a burning sacrifice. Think of the smells when you or a neighbor is grilling meat. God said early…

Total Spirit Saturation // Habakkuk 2:14

By Mark Jordan | April 29, 2025 | Comments Off on Total Spirit Saturation // Habakkuk 2:14

Wow, today’s verse really hit home for me! The prophet Habakkuk was grappling with issues of justice, God’s plan, and how we are to live in faith when we feel a conflict between the two. God said that the time will come when an awareness of God will fill the earth as water fills the…

On Faith // Hebrews 11:1

By Mark Jordan | April 28, 2025 | Comments Off on On Faith // Hebrews 11:1

Today’s verse is known as the biblical definition of faith. To put it in a grossly oversimplified manner, faith is like knowing a chair will hold you when you go to sit in it. You don’t really give it any thought. You just sit down, right? I think about my recliner at home and how…
