Now that we've wrapped up Jesus' messages to the seven churches in Revelation, what can we say he's looking for in a church? This episode will synthesize what we've gleaned from Revelation 2-3 and allow us a consolidated view of what a healthy church looks like.

In this episode of From the Cutting Room Floor, we follow up on Pastor Brian’s message, The Apocalypse: When the Church Becomes the Enemy (Revelation 3:7–13).

If you grew up in evangelical Christianity, you’ve probably heard Revelation 3:10 cited as proof of a pre-tribulation rapture. But what if that popular interpretation actually misses Jesus’ point?

In this conversation, we unpack what Christ truly promised the church in Philadelphia—and why His words offer something far more encouraging than an evacuation plan.

Along the way, we also tackle a few big questions: Which Old Testament covenants are still in effect? And who are the “chosen people of God” today?

Join us as we dig deeper into the text and explore answers to these questions.

On this week’s From the Cutting Room Floor podcast, Pastor Brian dives deeper into some additional questions from Sunday’s message, 'The Apocalypse: A Church That Wouldn’t Say "No",' from Revelation 2:18–29.

• Does God discipline His people? Contained within Jesus' words to the church in Thyatira, we encounter a warning—one that includes the possibility of judgment and chastisement. How are Christians supposed to receive those words and the idea of God's discipline?

Join us as we explore how Christ’s warnings are ultimately invitations to restoration.

Join us for a new episode of From the Cutting Room Floor, where Pastor Brian responds to your questions from his sermon, The Apocalypse: Faithful Living in Satan’s City, based on Revelation 2:12–17.

Questions: Why does Jesus have a "sharp, double-edged sword"? And should we be picky about doctrine? Doesn't that just promote controversy? Take a few minutes to go deeper into Jesus’ letter to the church in Pergamum and what it means for faithful living today.

What does Jesus mean by the “synagogue of Satan”? Why is the church in Smyrna told it will face persecution for “ten days”? And does Revelation 2:8–11 in any way justify antisemitism?

In this episode, we’ll explore these important submitted questions and highlight several additional details in Jesus’ message to this afflicted, impoverished, and persecuted church—helping us understand them rightly in the light of Scripture.

This week on From the Cutting Room Floor, Pastor Brian responds to your questions from Sunday’s message on Revelation 2:1–7, “The Apocalypse: Right, Pure… and Cold?”

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place”? This episode explores that question—and other key details from Jesus’ message to the church in Ephesus—helping us understand them in light of Scripture.

Join Pastor Brian as he unpacks these truths and leads us to see them through the lens of God’s Word.
