Cuffed To Comfort // Cuffing Season (Part 2) // Michael Todd

God desires for you to prosper in your soul, your mind, will, and emotions, but sometimes footholds and strongholds keep us from moving forward. In Week 7 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd exposes how the enemy tries to gain a strategic position in our lives through soul ties. But we are reminded us of the truth in James 4:7 to resist the devil, and he will flee. This message breaks down the different types of soul ties including initial, influential, idol, and illegitimate intimacy ties, and reveals how they can keep you bound if left unaddressed. But the good news is this, the blood of Jesus is greater than any bond formed in sin. If you are ready to break free, this message will show you how to identify and actively break soul ties so you can walk in true freedom in Christ.Scripture References3 John 1:2 NKJVEphesians 4:18-27 MSGJames 4:7 NIV2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NIVProverbs 18:21 NKJV2 Corinthians 4:2 ESVJames 5:16 ESVPsalms 23:1-3 NKJV

Sex is a topic that impacts everyone and culture doesn’t own it because God made it.  In Week 6 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Charles Metcalf reminds us that one of our first commands was to be fruitful and multiply.  God also created a standard for how it’s meant to be experienced. God is not anti-sex, He’s anti-sin. When we miss His design, it impacts our soul, our relationships, and our future. Through both biblical truth and practical insight, Pastor Charles shows how sex was designed to bond, not break, and why misusing it can lead to disconnection, numbness, and confusion. In this message you’ll understand three goals of godly sex: purity, serving, and sacredness. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to honor God with your body and align your life with His original design.Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 6:12–13, 19–20 NLT Genesis 1:3 NLT 1 Peter 1:16 NLT 1 Corinthians 5:12–20 NLT Proverbs 6:32 NLT

Culture may try to convince us that it’s better to be alone, but the truth is marriage is still winning. The real question is: are you ready for it? In Week 5 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that marriage works 100% of the time when we do it God’s way. While culture often teaches that it’s better to marry than to burn with lust, Pastor Mike challenges us to pursue the greater option - developing self-control and surrendering our lives fully to God.This message reminds wives that they are anointed for their husbands and encourages men to provide safety, leadership, and covering for their wives. Whether you are single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to prepare your heart, build godly character, and become the person God is calling you to be before stepping into the covenant of marriage.Scripture References3 John 1:2 NKJVProverbs 18:22 NKJVProverbs 31:10 NIVHebrews 13:4 NIV1 Corinthians 7:6-9 NLTEphesians 5:1-2 NLTEphesians 5:22-33 NLTEphesians 5:21 NLTGalatians 2:20 NIVGenesis 2:21 NLTMark 12:30-31 NIVLuke 14:25-28 NLTEcclesiastes 4:9-12 NLTMatthew 19:6 NIV

This message is for anyone preparing for promise after pain. In Week 4 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that restoration is possible after any level of devastation, destruction, death, divorce, or disappointment. Looking at the story of Ruth, we see how she unexpectedly became a second-time single, yet God redeemed her story and restored her legacy through her relationship with Boaz. If you’ve experienced heartbreak or loss, this message will encourage you to trust God again, make faith-filled decisions, and move forward beyond disappointment. We pray it empowers you to let God take the broken pieces of your story and restore them into something greater than you imagined.Scripture References:Ruth 1:1–5 NLTRuth 1:9–11,16 NLTProverbs 3:5–6 NLTRuth 1:20–21 NLTRuth 2:1–3 NLTProverbs 31:27 NIVRuth 2:11–12 NLTRuth 3:1–6 NLTJoel 2:25 ESVMatthew 1:5 NLT

Culture has sold us a counterfeit version of love that feels exhilarating, euphoric, and full of uninterrupted bliss, pleasure and enjoyment. It’s like everyone wants to be “drunk in love.” But in Week 2 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that no one makes wise decisions while intoxicated. Using a powerful illustration with drunk goggles, Pastor Mike shows how being drunk in your soul can distort your walk, your choices, and your relationships. Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:5–8, this message calls us to be sober in our soul so we can build relationships with clarity and wisdom. You’ll discover the four things a healthy soul must believe and gain revelation on how to build relationships that are strong, stable, and God-centered moving forward.Scripture References3 John 1:2 NKJV1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 NIV

This series has the power to change every relationship you’ve had, have now, and will ever have. In Week 1 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that the goal isn’t just chemistry—it’s healthy relationships, and healthy relationships start with healthy people. Pastor Mike unpacks the four foundational needs we all carry: to be seen, soothed, secure, and safe, and challenges us to examine our soul health. God is your soulmate—your spouse is your soul match. When you stop expecting people to fill a place only God can occupy, you make room for relationships that are whole, healed, and built to last.Culture has a lot to say about love, but this series injects God’s perspective into what culture lacks wisdom on. This message challenges us to ask the hard questions: Is your soul healthy? Are your thoughts healthy when no one else is around? Would you marry you? We pray this message and series gives you the clarity and confidence that you need to win in relationships!Scripture ReferencesMatthew 6:9-10 ESV2 Peter 1:3 NLT3 John 1:2 NJKVPsalm 19:7 NASBPsalm 25:12-13 NASBPsalms 23:1-3 NASB

What does it look like to move forward with a solid foundation? In Week 4 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd challenges us to build for the future by establishing clear standards rooted in Christ. He reminds us that sight without standards leads to self-sabotage and that going forward without the right foundation is foolish. Pastor Michael unpacks why God’s Word is the only standard that remains steady in every season and introduces The Great 8, our church’s Culture Code, as the values shaping who we are and how we build.

What God has done is nothing compared to what He is about to do. As we move forward, we can’t stay stuck in what God already delivered us from. In Week 3 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd reveals that being delivered from something is not the same as being delivered into the promise. This message challenges us to examine where we may still be holding on to our past instead of fully walking in what God promised. We pray this word breaks false thought patterns and helps you embrace the standard God has given to guide your life forward.Scripture ReferencesPhilippians 3:12-14 NLTIsaiah 43:15-19 NLTRomans 12:2 AMPIsaiah 40:8 ESV

Is your past holding you back from moving forward? In Week 2 of the FORWARD Sermon Series, Pastor Charles Metcalf teaches us that the prerequisite for moving forward is learning how to properly place our past. Whether your past feels like a trophy you don’t want to let go of, a trap you keep returning to, or a tragedy marked by pain, shame, or grief, God is calling you forward. If you’ve been struggling with the grips of your past, this message will teach you how to remember differently, redeem what was meant to take you out, and represent God’s faithfulness through your testimony. It’s time to press forward into everything God has prepared for you.Scripture ReferencesPhilippians 3:1–4 NLTPhilippians 3:13–14 NLTGenesis 12:1–5 NLTMark 10:17–22 NLTColossians 1:13–14 NLTRevelation 12:11 NLT
