Luke Chapter 10: Advent

By Mark Jordan | December 10, 2021 | Comments Off on Luke Chapter 10: Advent

Luke 10 has fewer sections than we have encountered in previous chapters, but this makes it no less significant. We see Jesus deploying an even greater number of disciples to put into practice what they’ve learned. Jesus gives some great advice about how to witness to people by building relationships, as well as what to…

Breathe in Christmas

By Mark Jordan | December 9, 2021 | Comments Off on Breathe in Christmas

Philippians 4:6 ‘Tis the season to be jolly, but it can be stressful getting into the Christmas spirit managing everything that goes with it, can’t it? Things like traffic; the expense; finding time to decorate, shop, wrap, bake, and attend parties; supply chain problems making some highly desired gifts scarce; and putting in extra time…

Luke Chapter 9: Advent

By Mark Jordan | December 9, 2021 | Comments Off on Luke Chapter 9: Advent

Luke 9 brings us to the turning point in his Gospel. We see the disciples provided with the opportunity to put into practice what they’ve observed and learned; a miracle of multiplication that means a whole lot more than just bread and fish; and an exorcism that seems to change Jesus’ tone and approach. The…

The Luster of the Lord’s L☀️VE

By Mark Jordan | December 8, 2021 | Comments Off on The Luster of the Lord’s L☀️VE

Jesus told us to shine and shine brightly for God. When we shine, we show people that God is good. This is important because of the darkness all around us. When you let your light shine for others, it penetrates and disperses the darkness. It’s important to remember that we are not the light ourselves.…

Certainly Certain

By Mark Jordan | December 8, 2021 | Comments Off on Certainly Certain

Jeremiah 33:3 I don’t know what I don’t know. Know what I mean? I have found that many times I get into trouble when I am so certain of something that I couldn’t conceive ever getting it wrong. You know something like how no team could score more than about 17 points on the vaunted…

Luke Chapter 8: Advent

By Mark Jordan | December 8, 2021 | Comments Off on Luke Chapter 8: Advent

Luke 8 has some great teaching included, intertwined with more miracles. Jesus’ earthly ministry is in full swing, but there are revelatory details that could easily be missed without a careful reading. One such detail is given in the first few verses before the Parable of the Sower is given. We also see Jesus’ faith…

Like Jesus

By Mark Jordan | December 7, 2021 | Comments Off on Like Jesus

Romans 8:29 Yesterday I relayed a story about an experience I had over the Thanksgiving break while in Panama City. I thought I’d share another one, because it got a belly laugh out of Ethan. We were sitting at one of our favorite taco places enjoying lunch. It was pretty quiet, so I asked him…

Luke Chapter 7: Advent

By Mark Jordan | December 7, 2021 | Comments Off on Luke Chapter 7: Advent

Luke 7 offers some very fascinating tidbits as Jesus’ ministry progresses. The chapter begins with a story of Jesus performing a miracle for someone not just of the Jewish faith, but someone who locals probably held with contempt. As the chapter moves along, we another miraculous event that shows Jesus’ magnificent power, but also serves…

Be Salty

By Mark Jordan | December 6, 2021 | Comments Off on Be Salty

Colossians 4:6 I had an interaction over the Thanksgiving break that reminded me of a major spiritual truth. We were in a shop down in Panama City Beach, and reading some of the, shall we say, salty t-shirts. You know the ones with inappropriate sayings? A lady behind the counter heard me read one and…

Luke Chapter 6: Advent

By Mark Jordan | December 6, 2021 | Comments Off on Luke Chapter 6: Advent

Luke 6 begins to move the story along in dramatic fashion. We see Jesus challenge conventional wisdom, and in so doing, begin to make enemies of the elite. Jesus then chooses His group of 12 disciples from those who were following Him to this point. After that, we get some of the core teachings of…
