Southland Christian Church

The Cutting Room Floor | Sacrificial vs. Self-Serving


Listen Later

What if the very thing you're trying to avoid is the thing God wants to redeem?

This week, Neil and Scott walk through the story of Ruth, a story filled with grief, loyalty, risk, and the surprising ways God works through ordinary obedience.

Scott unpacks how Ruth's story confronts the lies culture sells us, reframes what submission truly means, and invites us to trust God with our whole lives, even the painful parts.

The challenge:

Ask yourself honestly: Do I really believe Jesus is who He says He is? Because if so, it changes everything, how we love, how we sacrifice, and how we lay down our lives every day.

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell

What We Discuss:

  • Why Ruth was chosen to close the Women series
  • The surprising meaning behind the names in Ruth
  • Why Naomi's bitterness resonates with so many of us
  • The risky nature of Ruth's visit to the threshing floor
  • Boaz as a picture of Jesus, the Kinsman Redeemer
  • What "submission" actually means (and what it doesn't)
  • How bitterness becomes an identity if left unchecked
  • The reality of emotional vs. visual pornography
  • Why repentance doesn't erase consequences
  • The simple but costly call to die daily

About Southland Christian Church

Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.
