All !n with Jordan Easley

These letters in Revelation were written by John, but they were articulated by Jesus, himself. This means that as we study the book of Revelation, we are reading the words of Jesus to the church. And what’s also cool is that these messages not only apply to a church back then, but I believe they apply to the church today. The first church Jesus addressed was the Church at Ephesus (we talked about that last week). In today’s message...

As parents, we’ve got to do our part to make sure our labor is worthwhile. We need to make sure our labor, our hard work, and our years of investing in these kids are worth it. If we get this wrong and do it our own way, God tells us our labor will be in vain. But on the flip side, He says that if we build our house on the Lord, if we build our homes according to His plans and His ways, our labor, our work, our painful moments, and...

As parents, we have a job to do. We have a stewardship responsibility to God when it comes to how we bring up our children, and He tells us that if we start them off correctly, even when they grow old, they will not depart from the truth. If you fight for your kids and raise them to know and love God, they are much more likely to stay grounded on the foundation in which you raised them. It’s not a promise of God, because every chil...

God tells us throughout Scripture to see people and serve people who are vulnerable or forgotten. The Bible makes it so clear that Jesus cares about the one. He sees the one that others may not see. He loves the one that others may not love. He believes in the one that others may not believe in. He chases the one that others gave up on. Jesus cares about THE one…and He encourages us to do the same. To do that, we must follow five s...

The Bible talks a lot about the power of two in marriage. Two are better than one. But if you pay close attention to Scripture, you’ll see that God’s blueprint for a great marriage isn’t made up of two…it’s made up of three. A great marriage has three strands: Husband, Wife, and God. This is the formula that leads to a successful, godly marriage. But as we know, no marriage is immune to hard times. So when the storms come and try t...

In this message, as we read from Romans 12, I want to show you four flesh hooks that are designed to keep you on the altar as a living sacrifice. These four things are things we must get right, and these things are designed to keep our lives in the center of the flame on the altar so that we can fulfill our purpose and please God with our lives. With each flesh hook, I’m going to list a series of questions so you can prayerfully co...

God granted Solomon a supernatural dose of wisdom, and through that gift, he was able to understand that “there is nothing new under the sun.” And there is nothing on earth that can truly satisfy the soul. That includes religion, by the way. There was a point in Solomon’s journey where He pursued religion, and in the same way, Solomon realized that religion in and of itself does not satisfy. Now, you might be thinking I’m not allow...

Many define sacrifice as “giving something that I don’t need… something extra…something that’s easy to give that might be a blessing to someone else.” But what I want you to see is that sacrifice, according to the Bible, is giving what you naturally don’t want to give. In this message, we are going to look at one of the most well-known biblical stories of sacrifice so we can learn what it looks like to truly surrender everything to...

Good mothers are homemakers. That’s not a derogatory term, rather it’s a biblical term. When you hear about a “homemaker,” that isn’t exclusively referring to stay-at-home moms, and it doesn’t mean a woman can’t work outside of the home. But what it does mean is that according to God’s design, you, as a woman and as a mother, have responsibilities in your home and to your family. The Lord tells us that how you live your life today ...

Today, as we open God’s word to the book of Job, I want us to see from his life and his story: How to trust God when you don’t understand Him. Have you ever been at a place in your life where you just didn’t understand God? I’m talking about a place where you believe in God, but you just don’t understand Him. You don’t understand his decisions. You don’t understand how He could allow this or that. You don’t get his plans or His pur...

Sometimes in a world like this… a world of abundance and resources… we tend to forget that God designed us to have a primary dependency on Him… and God’s people have forgotten that truth, time and time again. That’s why Elijah warned King Ahab (in verse 1) and said—There’s a famine coming to this land— a long and severe famine—and Israel will be punished for their sins. That’s what it says in 1 Kings 16:30, “But Ahab son of Omri di...

Perhaps right now you could say, “I have a deep wound that needs to be healed, or a relationship, or a family, or a disease, or a disorder that needs to be healed. Let me ask you: Do you want to get well? That was the question that Jesus asked in today’s key passage. And after hearing many excuses, Jesus did what only Jesus could do. John 1:8-9 says, “’Get up,’ Jesus told him, ‘pick up your mat and walk.’ Instantly the man got well...

Many people believe that if you are a Christian and if you love and trust God, then your life on earth will be free of trouble and tragedy. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Jesus promises His disciples (and therefore He promises us) that we WILL experience trouble. He said we’ll experience difficulties, pains, and problems in this world, but He also reminds us that there is purpose in every problem. If you’re walking th...

Before there was a crucifixion, and before there was a resurrection, there was a baptism. Three years before Jesus died, He was baptized. We don’t usually associate his baptism with Easter weekend because, the truth is, three years is a long time, and many things happened in Jesus’ life and ministry between His baptism in the Jordan River and His grave experience in the garden tomb. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in how the story e...

When we reflect on and remember the suffering of our Savior—it should lead us not just to a place of sadness, but to a place of worship! What Jesus endured, He endured for you and me. The suffering, the anguish, the humiliation, the pain, the scourging, and the beatings… He did that for all of us! The cat-of-nine-tails on His back and the rusty nails in His hands and feet… the spit and the shame… and the people around him cursing h...

The disciples of Jesus wholeheartedly believed that He was the Christ. They knew the prophecies and had the privilege of watching Jesus fulfill them right in front of their eyes. They understood the significance of Him riding a donkey into the city. They got it! After years of following Jesus, these people had faith in Jesus. All of them except for one. For some reason, even after years of knowing Jesus, following Jesus, and being ...
