Wednesday Apr 17, 2024
Welcome to another episode of the Cut for Time Podcast! Eric and Pastor Clay met up to discuss Sunday's message about Mary Magdalene. So little is actually known about her, so it gets hard to separate fact from legend. The guys will discuss Mary's identity and her role in our faith. How does Jesus overcoming Mary's darkness give us hope about the darkness in our lives?

Sunday Message: Mary Magdalene

Sunday Apr 14, 2024
Scripture: Luke 8:1-3 & John 20:1-2, 11-28
Series: Resurrection
Mary Magdalene is a woman in scripture whose identity is a bit murky. There's quite a bit of legend of who she was before Jesus, and none of it is good. It is clear that her life was completely changed by Jesus. Would it change back after the death of Jesus? Could this be why she was so deeply impacted by the death of Christ? This week as we look at her life and true legacy, Pastor Clay helps us consider the change Christ has made in our own lives.

Cut for Time: What Do You Need?

Wednesday Apr 10, 2024
Pastor Clay and Eric sat down to talk about Sunday's message and the start of our new message series on the people who were deeply affected by the Resurrection. The first person was Thomas, who received what he needed to believe in the Risen Jesus. What do you need in order to be brought to deeper faith?

Sunday Message: Thomas
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
Scripture: John 20:19-28
Series: Resurrection Stories
Thomas is famous for one thing: doubting. Thomas doubted one thing, and we have labeled anyone who ever doubted anything ever as "Doubting Thomas." Is that fair? All Thomas wanted was to experience Jesus in the same way as the disciples had. The good news is that Jesus shows up for Thomas and gives him what he needs to believe. How do you need Jesus to show up for you?

After a whirlwind week with so many powerful worship opportunities, Pastor Clay and Eric sit down to talk about the week that was, the week that is coming, and just what exactly we are supposed to do with the strange ending of Mark's Gospel. Have you gone back to read any of the alternate endings of Mark's Gospel?

Sunday Message: An Unfinished Easter

Scripture: Mark 16:1-8, GNT
What is your favorite television show that is no longer on the air/releasing new episodes? How did you feel about the finale? Sometimes bad finales can tarnish our entire view of a show, even a show in which we have invested so much time. Mark's Gospel seems to end in a way that is unsatisfying, but actually the end invites us to embrace the unfinished nature of the Gospel and spurs us on to further action. How does Jesus' resurrection inspire us to live in His light?

Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Pastor Clay and Eric are back together for this week's episode to talk more about the crowds that were present throughout Holy Week. How could they turn so fast on Jesus? How could they be that wishy-washy? The reality is that we are susceptible to this same fleeting interest. How can the events of Holy Week ground us in our identity in Christ?

Scripture: Psalm 118 & Mark 11
Series: Pause - Lent with the Psalms
On Palm Sunday, we commemorate a parade that happened a long time ago as Jesus entered Jerusalem. A large crowd gathered and cried out to God by crying out to Jesus, but did everyone understand what was going on? How does Jesus' triumphant entry make us more thankful for his ministry? As we learn more about Jesus, may it make us more thankful.
