The Cutting Room Floor

It's time to get our confidence back in prayer! We're digging deeper into this past Sunday's message, all about how we can ASK, ANYTHING, ACCORDING to God's will in our prayer life. What does that look like. practically and spiritually? Let's get into it.

How is the atmosphere of your heart? If we’re not careful, the soil of our heart can become an unhealthy environment. We need Jesus to be the gardener of our lives. God is so concerned and attentive to our flourishing — but we need to steward the soil of our hearts daily. Let’s talk about it.

What if your life was defined as, “the Lord was with them and they were successful.” That’s what was said about the life of King Hezzekiah. He lived in a way that was right in the eyes of the Lord, he trusted God and he held fast to Him. God wholeheartedly wants us to succeed and thrive, but it all comes down to how we define success. As God’s sons and daughters, we have favor and access to His bl...

For many of us, it’s not hard to grasp that God is capable, but it’s often a journey in believing that He cares. Truly, when you think about how much the God of the universe cares for us it can almost be overwhelming. This type of love can almost be too overwhelming to comprehend. We have to go on a journey of believing that God is careful with us, watchfully protects us and is at work in our live...

Jesus lived with costly surprising love for others. He dined with sinners, defended the vulnerable, and extended forgiveness to those who dishonored Him. He walked and lived differently than the world around Him. How do we learn to walk, live, and love the same way? Jesus wants to disciple our reflexes — join the conversation.

The gospel of Jesus needs to be heard, but sharing it was never meant to be hard. Life is full, comfortability can creep in and before we know it, it can be easy to get our eyes off the mission of seeking and saving the lost souls that Jesus invites us to join Him on. The good news is that we don’t do the saving, we do the sharing. Is your heart stirred for those who are far from Christ? Let’s get...

What does it mean to be in the Church? A part of the body of Christ? The early church was radically devoted to growing in the way of Jesus together. How do we outwork, practically, being the Church? The reality is: you can’t live a life for Jesus and not love His Bride. Whether our church or another, you were meant to be rooted in God and planted in His House. Let’s tease it out on The Cutting Roo...

What if one summer can change your life? The journey of following Jesus is so much more than a trend, being a church attender, who we vote for or not… what does it actually, practically, genuinely mean to follow Jesus? Discipleship isn’t about doing things for Jesus, but rather becoming like Him as we behold Him by the power of the Holy Spirit. As followers of Jesus, we have to be committed to bei...

The “cutting room floor” of a Sunday sermon is filled with hours of content that goes unheard. So, we’re making time! Join us as we take what’s taught on Sundays and “selah” long enough to help us work what was preached into every day of the week.

God created us - male and female - to complement one another and live within the beauty of our uniquely different design. As men and women, we are created in God’s image to reflect specific and needed aspects of our Heavenly Father’s heart. Join the conversation around women in ministry, healthy masculinity and how to live as deeply loved children of God — let’s get into it.

How can we be moms, parents, families, people who truly live in tune with Jesus? Motherhood holds different meanings to us all. However, it hits our hearts, mothers hold important weight for all of us – and is a high and mighty calling. It’s a huge responsibility with great reward, that takes a bit of grit and fight. How do we mother and parent well as followers of Jesus? Let’s get into it.

A marriage made in Heaven takes work, we need the help of the Holy Spirit to make it our daily reality. Marriage is a good and holy work — emphasis on work! Let’s tease it out on “the cutting room floor” as we learn, work and grow to realize God’s vision for our marriage today and every day.

Could you imagine living a life without worry? It seems impossible, doesn't it? But with God, all things are possible. Go on the journey with us as we talk about trading our anxiety for prayer, changing the way we think with the help of God's Word and learning to live at rest knowing that God will supply all that we need. Let's tease it out.

Truly knowing Jesus wholeheartedly, intimately, deeply, and personally is something that we can all experience. Even still, our love for Jesus can ebb and flow sometimes. We are prone to wander, and our once-sold-out devotion can get lukewarm at times in our journey of discipleship to Jesus. How do we stay all in on the “long obedience in the same direction?” Let’s tease it out.

Life is full of ups and downs. Emotions will come and go, but joy is something we can possess in every season because of Jesus. 0Joy lives outside of happiness — it is not just a frivolous feeling or a happy-go-lucky perspective. We know that we should live with joy in every season and circumstance, but it’s not often our reality – so, let’s talk about it.

Imagine the peace that you can have knowing that the greatest work of your life is already done. The finished work of the cross has brought healing and restoration for all of humanity through Jesus alone – this is the mercy of God. Our savior is holistic in nature. He heals not only our bodies and restores hope for humanity, but Jesus heals our souls so that we may take heart and live in the peace...

We’re saved by grace through faith – and that grace is unearned and it’s unfair. Jesus’ invitation of, “Today, you will be with me in paradise” to the thief on the cross shows us just how good God’s grace really is. We’ve all been invited to a party that we don’t deserve to be at – how do we rightfully respond to the free gift of salvation? Let’s get into it.

As Christians, our call is to join the heartbeat of Jesus. Not our way, but His way! Surrender is a lifestyle we must live, not just moments we have. So how do we do it? How do we live according to God’s will and live lives fully surrendered? Let’s talk about it! Join the conversation as we talk about all things surrender, big and small.

On the cross, Jesus was forsaken, so that we will never be. Jesus is our example in how we live and was our substitute on the cross. We can take courage and find hope in our daily lives as we remember all He has done for us. Join the conversation as we talk through the crux of our faith: salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone. This is Good News – let’s get into it!

“I thirst,” a brief statement with a deep message. Jesus “gets us” more than anyone ever could – and yet we so often don’t come to Him when our hearts feel dry or worn out. But the truth is that Jesus is the answer to the longing of our soul. The rest, acceptance, and belonging our hearts desire is found in Him alone. Listen into the conversation today, as we talk through keeping Jesus central in...

God is a God of relationship! The cross is proof that Jesus values our need for relationship with God and with one another. Join the conversation as we unpack what it looks like to do the good and holy work of friendship, family, and marriage.

Go the journey with us as we dig into the comforting and confronting message of the cross. Through the lens of the cross, what does it look like to forgive? To pray? To find healing? In a world concerned about not being foolish, the Good News of the cross runs in the opposite direction! There is power in the old rugged cross. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: -1 Corinthians 1:18 (10:34) -What are the...

Marathons, thoughts in the shower, and making big plans – we’re talking vision! Vision is a buzzword in many circles, but how does it fit into the way of Jesus? God’s actually given us the permission and privilege to plan our way! Come be a part of the conversation as we chat about what it looks like to “plan our way” and live out God-given vision for our lives. Show Notes: -Proverbs 16:9 (2:20) -...
