Welcome to another episode of The Cutting Room Floor, where we further unpack Sunday's message, discuss practical applications, and hear some of what didn't make the final cut.

Sunday 2 March 2025 - Morning MeetingMark Series - 6Mark 8:34-38Tom Nash

Mark 8:1-26 shows Jesus feeding 4,000, warning against false teaching, and healing a blind man in stages. The disciples struggle to understand.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Commitment On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: Earlier this week, we looked at a woman who came to Jesus, asking for her daughter to be healed. In this text a father is bringing his son to Jesus to be healed. The two situations are sort of similar. Do you think it is sometimes easier to accept that God might not have the ability to do something rather than believing that God will not do something? Let's ask a hard question. What do we do when God does not answer a prayer? Is it fair to judge God's character (i.e. Does He love me? Does He care?) based on how He responds to our prayers? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 20:22–22:16 Mark 9:1-29 Psalm 43:1-5 Proverbs 10:18

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Commitment On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: This passage is very familiar to Christians. But it has never been comfortable. Do you sometimes wish Jesus had never said, "Take up your cross and follow me”? But aren't there Christians who have a shallow relationship with God? How do you know if you have a shallow relationship with Jesus? Do you agree with the idea that it is impossible to have a shallow relationship with Jesus? If not, why? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 19:1–20:21 Mark 8:11-38 Psalm 42:1-11 Proverbs 10:17

This leads him to feed thousands because He sees that they are hungry. This is a sign of His power and love. However, the Pharisees come asking for more signs. For them, nothing Jesus does will be enough to believe. It is this hard-heartedness He warns the disciples to avoid. Jesus then heals a blind man. This physical sight given by faith is set in contrast to the Pharisees who think they see and yet remain spiritually blind. Jesus then asks His disciples who they believe Him to be. They say, “You are the Christ.” This faith would be crucial, as their faith would be tested by His arrest and death, as well as the extreme sacrifices they would be called to make in His name.  Jesus demonstrates His glory and His right to be called the Christ. We must choose whether to believe in Him or not. But this cannot be done halfway. His call to disciples is extreme. It starts with demanding we understand that His Lordship would require His death. Peter struggled with this. More than that, He demands allegiance from us for His glory. We must deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him. We must lose our life in devotion to Him to see the salvation of our lives in eternity. Many will want to give everything to be saved in the judgment and will have nothing to give. We must serve Him now, confessing His name courageously in this world.  Great Father, we thank You for your lovingkindness and the compassion that Your Son has for us. We know that His ability to help us is only limited by the borders of our faith. Help us to expand our trust and surrender our entire lives to Him. We sometimes fall into pride, blindness to truth, and even doubts about Your will. But great God, we believe Your Son is the Christ sent to die for our salvation. Forgive our failings and restore us to commitment and strength and to never be ashamed of our Lord.   Thought Questions: -       Do you believe Jesus sees you and feels for you in times of struggle? How do you trust in that, even when results do not come right away? -       The Pharisees had things in their hearts that blinded them to Christ's glory. What has He done in your life to keep your heart from hardening? -       What does it mean to lose your life for His sake? And what would it profit you to keep your life and gain the world but not have Jesus?

February 23, 2025 - A Disruptive Glory | Mark 8-9 by Trinity Hinsdale

Sunday morning message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. February 23, 2025

Guest Speaker James Jardin, RUF - W. Kentucky

The Apostle Peter is a favorite Bible character for many of us, especially those of us likely to put our foot in our mouth or otherwise have a spectacular failure. This week, we read about Peter's rise, his fall, and the lesson we all should take from the way Jesus engages him. None of us are totally triumphant in this world; we're all stumbling toward Jesus. And that should endear Peter to us all the more.

Jesus summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them,"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,take up his cross, and follow me.For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sakeand that of the Gospel will save it.What profit is there for one to gain the whole worldand forfeit his life?What could one give in exchange for his life?Whoever is ashamed of me and of my wordsin this faithless and sinful generation,the Son of Man will be ashamed ofwhen he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."He also said to them,"Amen, I say to you,there are some standing here who will not taste deathuntil they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power."

Jesus and his disciples set outfor the villages of Caesarea Philippi.Along the way he asked his disciples,“Who do people say that I am?”They said in reply,“John the Baptist, others Elijah,still others one of the prophets.”And he asked them,“But who do you say that I am?”Peter said to him in reply,“You are the Christ.” Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.He began to teach themthat the Son of Man must suffer greatlyand be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,and be killed, and rise after three days.He spoke this openly.Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples,rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan.You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”

Alalahanin at ipanalangin natin ang kaluluwa ni Fr. Luciano at ang kaluluwa ng lahat ng mga yumao.Prayer for Eternal RestIn your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest. The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.SOURCE:https://stpatricksto.archtoronto.org/siteassets/media/files/catholic-prayers-for-the-departed.pdf

When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida,people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked,“Do you see anything?”Looking up the man replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.”Then he laid hands on the man's eyes a second time and he saw clearly;his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.Then he sent him home and said, “Do not even go into the village.”

Mark 8:22-38 - - Dec 8, 2013

The disciples had forgotten to bring bread,and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.Jesus enjoined them, “Watch out,guard against the leaven of the Phariseesand the leaven of Herod.” They concluded among themselves thatit was because they had no bread.When he became aware of this he said to them,“Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread?Do you not yet understand or comprehend?Are your hearts hardened?Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear?And do you not remember,when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?”They answered him, “Twelve.”“When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand,how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?”They answered him, “Seven.”He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

As we continue through the Gospel of Mark, we see how Peter and the disciples struggle to recognize Jesus for who He truly is. Like them, many remain blind to His person and His work, often viewing Him through the lens of their greatest needs or desires. Yet for the Christian, a day will come when our vision will be made clear, and we will sing with clear eyes—seeing Christ as our ultimate desire, the One we want the most.

The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus,seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said,“Why does this generation seek a sign?Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”Then he left them, got into the boat again,and went off to the other shore.

The Gospel of Mark presented in a series of narrative sermons.

February 16, 2025 - A Disruptive Salvation | Mark 8 by Trinity Hinsdale

In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat,Jesus summoned the disciples and said,"My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,because they have been with me now for three daysand have nothing to eat.If I send them away hungry to their homes,they will collapse on the way,and some of them have come a great distance."His disciples answered him, "Where can anyone get enough breadto satisfy them here in this deserted place?"Still he asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"They replied, "Seven."He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them,and gave them to his disciples to distribute,and they distributed them to the crowd.They also had a few fish.He said the blessing over themand ordered them distributed also.They ate and were satisfied.They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets.There were about four thousand people.He dismissed the crowd and got into the boat with his disciplesand came to the region of Dalmanutha.
