Messages that Matter

What does a fruitful life look like when following Jesus brings resistance—and change feels uncomfortable?

In this October 25, 2026 message from Luke 13:1–35, Kevin Jordan continues Certainty, the Gospel of Luke Part 3. Through Jesus’ teaching about repentance, the barren fig tree, healing on the Sabbath, mustard seed and leaven, the narrow door, and His lament over Jerusalem, Kevin explores the transforming work Christ wants to grow in us.

A fruitful life is spiritually minded and missionally active. Thinking about change is a beginning, but it is not the same as changing. Small steps of obedience can reshape an entire life, and familiarity with Jesus cannot replace responding to Him. The invitation is to make room for Christ’s work, put Scripture into practice, and keep trusting Him through discouraging days.

Reflection question: Where might your familiar religious habits or fixed expectations be getting in the way of the change Christ is growing in you?

This podcast edition concludes after the closing prayer.

What happens when the faith we profess and the life we practice point in different directions? In Luke 12:1–59, Jesus exposes hypocrisy, challenges the security we seek in possessions, and invites us to trust the Father and serve faithfully. Kevin Jordan continues Certainty, the Gospel of Luke Part 3 with a call to bring our vision, trust, and actions into agreement with Jesus.

This message examines the benefits we seek from God, the desires our prayers reveal, and the difference between serving others and trying to control them. The Father knows our needs. His care frees us to seek His kingdom, respond while there is time, and take the next concrete step of obedience.

How do you remain certain of Jesus when others reject Him—and when familiar religious habits stop changing your life? In Luke 11:14–54, Jesus answers opposition with His authority, His words, and a call to transformation. Kevin Jordan opens Certainty, the Gospel of Luke Part 3 by asking what it means to hear God’s Word and put it into practice.

Jesus’ wonders reveal His authority; His words deepen our certainty. A life freed from old patterns needs to be filled with the ways of Christ. The invitation is to receive His small corrections, build traditions that teach truth, and take one faithful step toward the person He is forming you to become.

What would change if God’s presence shaped your money, calendar, home, and relationships? In Ezekiel’s final vision, worship belongs alongside honest dealings, accountable leadership, and a place for the outsider. A river from the sanctuary brings life where death had ruled. Kevin Jordan closes the series by moving from putting God at the center to carrying His life outward. Redemption forms a people whose everyday practices bear witness that the Lord is there.

Scripture: Ezekiel 45:1–48:35
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 12 of 12

Reflect: What would change if your home, money, calendar, influences, and relationships were centered on God’s presence?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 45:8–12, 47:1–12, 47:21–23, and 48:35. Review your home, money, and calendar. Choose one change that re-centers life on the Lord and one action that carries His life toward a broken or excluded place.

What foundation are you rebuilding on? Ezekiel’s temple vision leads toward the return of God’s glory and a life ordered around His holy presence. Kevin Jordan explores how redemption changes both our priorities and our mindset. The invitation is to let God reshape worship, attitudes, appetites, and responsibilities rather than rebuilding familiar patterns on a failed foundation. Through Christ, shame can become a doorway to repentance, renewed purpose, and faithful service.

Scripture: Ezekiel 40:1–44:31
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 11 of 12

Reflect: Which action, attitude, appetite, or responsibility needs to be reordered around God’s presence?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 43:1–12 and 44:15–24. Ask God to measure one area of your lifestyle and one area of your mindset. Establish one holy priority, resume one neglected responsibility, and complete one concrete act of worship or obedience this week.

Can the threats ahead undo what God has promised? The visions of Gog’s defeat and the cleansing of the land answer fear with God’s sovereign care. Kevin Jordan explores how to rest in the victory God secures without turning prophecy into speculation about today’s headlines. The focus is God’s holiness, mercy, and presence. Christian hope gives us courage to resist fear, reject predatory desires, and help repair what sin and violence have damaged.

Scripture: Ezekiel 38:1–39:29
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 10 of 12

Reflect: Where do fear, speculation, or a desire to control keep you from resting in the victory God secures?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 38:10–23 and 39:21–29. Name one threat that fuels panic and one damaged place where faithful repair is possible. Pray over the threat, reject one fear-driven response, and take one Spirit-dependent step toward peace or restoration.

What happens after the old securities are gone? The fall of Jerusalem gives way to God’s promises of a true shepherd, a new heart, His Spirit, and life for a people who feel as hopeless as dry bones. Kevin Jordan explores how receiving new life involves more than wishing for the past. This message invites a fresh, faithful vision of identity, mission, obedience, and belonging among God’s people—grounded in the life only God can give.

Scripture: Ezekiel 33:21–37:28
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 9 of 12

Reflect: What would make your vision for new life fresh, authentic, actionable, and connected to God’s people?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 36:22–37 and 37:1–14. Write four sentences beginning, “Because of God, I am…,” “My mission is…,” “I will begin…,” and “With God’s people, I will….” Take one first step this week.

When life changes abruptly, what responsibility is yours—and what was never yours to control? Ezekiel’s judgments against the nations expose pride, revenge, and false security before the watchman’s warning brings the question home. Kevin Jordan explores how to receive a reset with humility and hope. Taking responsibility means owning your faithful response today, not accepting blame for every painful event. God’s call to turn and live opens a path toward repair, justice, and obedience.

Scripture: Ezekiel 25:1–33:20
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 8 of 12

Reflect: Where is a present reset inviting you to take responsibility without accepting false guilt?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 28:1–10, 29:1–16, and 33:7–20. List what has changed, what you cannot control, and what faithful response you can own. Complete one concrete act of repair, justice, or obedience.

A powerful spiritual moment is not the same as a faithful pattern of life. Ezekiel traces repeated rebellion across generations, exposing the gap between religious interest and actual obedience. Kevin Jordan brings that warning into the habits of our thoughts, desires, and actions. This episode invites us to move beyond comparison and short-lived enthusiasm toward regular hearing, honest confession, and concrete changes made with the help of God’s people.

Scripture: Ezekiel 20:1–24:27
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 7 of 12

Reflect: Where are you relying on spiritual emotion or comparison instead of disciplined obedience?

Put it into practice: Read Ezekiel 20:32–44 and 22:23–31 twice. Name one recurring rebellion; confess it to God and one trusted believer; then schedule one replacement practice for seven days.

Your history influences you, but it does not remove your responsibility or close the door to repentance. Ezekiel challenges the proverb that blamed the present entirely on earlier generations. Kevin Jordan explores God’s justice and mercy, the concrete shape of righteous living, and the invitation to turn and live. This message calls us to own our choices and become a faithful influence for those who follow us, without pretending we can control their response to God.

Scripture: Ezekiel 18–19
How Redemption Works • Season 1, Lesson 6 of 12

Reflect: Where do you need to replace blame with repentance and faithful action?

Put it into practice: Draw two columns labeled “Influences I received” and “Responsibilities I own.” Pray honestly through both, then choose one action that helps create a faithful environment for someone behind you.
