More Than A List: Home with Mark Ordus
On All Play Sunday, Mark Ordus invites the whole church family to consider what God wants for Christmas—and it’s more than quick fixes. Drawing from Matthew 1:21 (“…he will save his people from their sins”) and the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:22–24), Mark contrasts our “make it work” prayers with God’s deeper desire to restore us to relationship. A lighthearted Nintendo Wii mishap sets the stage: we often ask Jesus to repair what’s broken, but the gospel offers something richer—sonship, a seat at the table, a robe and a ring. In a season of lists and urgent needs, we’re challenge...

Extra-Mile Hospitality
In this week’s Living the Five series, Mark Ordus, Director of WardStudents, unpacks the call to Extra-Mile Hospitality through the lens of Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan. With humor and cultural touchpoints—from Saved by the Bell to Chick-fil-A—Mark helps us see how natural it is to form tribes and circles of belonging, yet how radical Jesus’ teaching was to a people accustomed to drawing lines between insiders and outsiders. In a world where division feels sharper than ever, we’re reminded that our neighbor is not defined by proximity, similarity, or shared beliefs, but by anyone in ne...

The Church Is Too Inward Focused
Mark Ordus talks about the local church being for you, but not about you. He says we want people to BECOME before they can BELONG. We want people to believe what we do, dress like we do, worship like we do, which is all natural, humans are drawn to like-minded people. But that wasn’t the way of Jesus: Jesus came to reach everyone and show them that because of Him, they already BELONG, they have a place at the table and then He invites them to BECOME, by following Jesus lead.

The Church Is Too Inward Focused
Mark Ordus talks about the local church being for you, but not about you. He says we want people to BECOME before they can BELONG. We want people to believe what we do, dress like we do, worship like we do, which is all natural, humans are drawn to like-minded people. But that wasn’t the way of Jesus: Jesus came to reach everyone and show them that because of Him, they already BELONG, they have a place at the table and then He invites them to BECOME, by following Jesus lead.
