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?

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.

Easter is coming, and we just can't wait. But yet the calendar tells us that we are not quite there yet. So, we have to wait. The good news is that God is with us in our waiting and has lessons to teach us in the meantime. Pastor Clay is here to help us think about the purpose of waiting and walk us through the events of Holy Week at the Canton UMC!

Scripture: Psalm 130
Series: Pause - Lent with the Psalms
How do you do with waiting? In a lot of ways, Lent is a lot about waiting as we are awaiting the joy of Easter, so much so that we are tempted to skip to the end rather than waiting it out. Is it possible that our Lenten waiting has something to teach us about our faith in God? Let's explore further in Pastor Clay's message on this 5th Sunday in Lent.

Scripture: Psalm 23
Series: Pause - Lent with the Psalms
Is it even a sermon series about the Psalms without talking about Psalm 23? David's words are beloved to so many people for so many reasons. It is easy for us to find familiarity in his words and comfort from God's reassurance. As we focus in on the table David describes near the end of the psalm, where do we find the good news?

Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8
Series: Pause - Lent with the Psalms
What does it mean to be blessed? Is it something you can define or do you just know it when you see it? When we meet David in this psalm, he is running for his life, away from Jerusalem, separated from his own people. Yet he remains confident in God's blessings. What? If faced with the same conditions, how would you respond?

The past few years have certainly been a weird time, right? As Pastor Clay and Eric talk about the importance of seeking God's face, they harken back to a time when we did odd things to seek each other's faces. They also discuss people in their lives that have been a beacon of God's presence. Check it all out in this week's episode of the Cut for Time Podcast!

Scripture: Psalm 27:1-6, 13-14
Series: Pause - Lent with the Psalms
Lent is a season with its own heaviness, with the reminder of our mortality and insistence on penitence. When you add that to the heaviness of normal life, it can add up to the point that we don't know where to turn. David, the great king of Israel, found himself in the same situation at several different points in his life, and each time he turned to God. What does it mean to you to seek God's face and shine divine light into the world?

The season of Lent is upon us! We are spending this season in the Book of Psalms exploring the range of emotion and language we use to connect with God. Today on the podcast, Pastor Clay sat down with Pastor Amber Laffey from the Alexandria (SD) UMC who is also walking through the Book of Psalms during Lent. Together, they recap the start of the Lenten Season and Sunday's message about following in God's paths.
