Description

What if your deepest longings aren't bad, they're just aimed too low? 

This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Scott dig into Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana and the details that didn't make it into Sunday's message. They talk about servants hauling heavy jars, why obedience often feels inconvenient, and how our everyday desires point to something far bigger than we expect. From baby pools at the beach to the smell of bread outside a packed restaurant, this conversation keeps circling one question: Are we settling for the sample when Jesus is offering the table?

Challenge: Do what Jesus says. Trust Him with the results. Don't settle for the smell of the feast when you've been invited to sit down.

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell

What We Discuss:

• Why the servants matter more in the Cana story than we usually notice
• Obedience that feels small, but costs something
• Dirty water jars and why Jesus loves repurposing unlikely things
• Desire: not too strong, but too weak
• C.S. Lewis, baby pools, and missing the ocean right in front of us
• The danger of legalism and the ditch on the other side of freedom
• Why churches can feel fake and how pretending kills community
• Bars, belonging, and why everyone wants a place where they're known
• "Obey Jesus and leave the consequences to Him"
• The invitation to the feast and what keeps people from accepting it
