Make Room for Better – What Needs to Go?

Make Room for Better – What Needs to Go?

Author: Grace Church September 20, 2026 Duration: 39:57

What if the reason we don’t have room for what matters most isn’t because we’re doing bad things—but because we’re trying to do too many good things?

Jesus lived with incredible clarity about what He was here to do, and that clarity shaped what He said yes to and what He said no to. In the same way, following Jesus sometimes means cutting things out, shrinking good things that have become too big, and setting limits so we can give ourselves to what matters most.

In this message from Don’t Skip the Big Rocks, we look at what Scripture says about pruning, self-control, people-pleasing, and throwing off the things that hinder us. Because putting the big rocks first eventually requires us to make room for them.
