Philippians 2:1-11 | Join us as Scott unpacks God's intention for manhood in a sermon on responsibility versus passivity.

In this trailer for The Cutting Room Floor, we sit down to share the heart behind the podcast, why it exists, how it works, and why we think it'll be a meaningful tool for our Southland family. Every week, our teachers bring so much study, thought, and prayer into a message, but not everything can fit into Sunday morning. That's where this podcast comes in. It's a space for the stories, insights, and questions that didn't make it into the sermon but are still worth talking about. No script. No polish. Just honest conversation that helps us take a deeper look at God's Word together.

The Impending Return of Jesus (2 Peter 3:1-14): Jesus' return is something we hope and long for, but it should also motivate us toward evangelism and holiness.

The Lies in Our Culture (II Timothy 4:1-5): False teaching and myths aren't hard to find and people seem to buy into them more than ever before. We have to be sober-minded so that we can help point people back to the truth.

The Pain in Our Families (James 5:13-20): Confession, acknowledgement, and repentance are difficult to embrace but necessary if we want healing and restoration to occur in any area of our lives, especially in our families.

The Threat of Sin (James 1:14-15): Sin leads to death. We often forget how destructive sin is and end up trivializing it and feeding it. Instead we can choose to resist it, avoid it, surrender it, and crucify it.

The Bible isn't just ink on paper, it's the very Word of God, and it shows us the world the way it really is. When we open it, mark it up, and let it sink in, it equips us for whatever life throws our way. In this message, we're going back to the basics, bringing our Bibles, and seeing why God's Word is still the clearest lens for how to live and love.

Our world doesn't understand equality because it doesn't understand love. In one of the most unique letters in the Bible, Paul challenges a wealthy man named Philemon to treat his runaway slave Onesimus as an equal. In this message we will see how God's love for everyone changes how we view and treat everyone.

Benaiah was one of David's "Mighty Men"—his toughest military fighting group. The Bible describes him as a fearless warrior who is noted for his heroic exploits. He was a brilliant fighter who famously "went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion." This message will focus on the courage God can give us to conquer our biggest threats.
