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...

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.

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.

Through Christ, shame can become a doorway to repentance, renewed purpose, and faithful service.

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.

God’s call to turn and live opens a path toward repair, justice, and 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.

Are we receiving God’s gifts with gratitude—or using them to build a life apart from Him? Ezekiel’s pictures of a fruitless vine, an unfaithful city, and misplaced political trust expose the depth of divided loyalty.

Delay, reassuring voices, and private idols can all become ways of avoiding God. Through Ezekiel’s signs and warnings against false prophets, Kevin Jordan examines why people resist a message they can already understand.

What if the truth you want to avoid is the truth you most need to hear? God appoints Ezekiel as a watchman and uses unforgettable signs to expose the danger of rebellion. Kevin Jordan connects those warnings with the call to practical holiness: naming sin honestly, receiving correction, and responding before denial becomes a way of life. God’s warning invites a response, and each hearer has a responsibility that no one else can carry.

Does a hard season mean God has become distant? Ezekiel’s story begins among people who have lost their home and their confidence about the future. Yet God meets them in exile. Kevin Jordan explores how the vision of God’s glory, the Spirit’s enabling presence, and the scroll Ezekiel receives call us to listen before we act. Redemption begins with the God who draws near—not with our ability to find the perfect spiritual experience.
