Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 & Isaiah 55:10-13
Series: Cultivating Holiness
As we continue looking at the Fruit of the Spirit, we take a look at joy. The Prophet Isaiah proclaimed a joyous message to God's people when he said that God's intention was for them to return to Israel, and that they could trust Isaiah's words because God intends to fulfill every promise that is made. How does knowing God like this bring us joy?

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 & John 13
Series: Cultivating Holiness
In the life of the Church, we have been through so many big, holy moments that Ordinary Time can feel like a real let down. Yet this is the perfect time to dig into our lives of faith and grow closer to God. When we do, our lives produce what the Apostle Paul calls the fruit of the Spirit. May this summer be a time of cultivating holiness as we explore Christian love, the first fruit of the Spirit, and all the rest God wants to grow in and through us.

Welcome back to the Cut for Time Podcast! This week Eric and Pastor Clay caught up to talk about Sunday's message for Pentecost Sunday and why there was a difference between the scriptures Pastor Clay picked earlier in the week and what we actually read together on Sunday. What is the connection between Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones and Peter's message on Pentecost?

Scripture: Acts 2:1-21
On the day of Pentecost, the Church remembers the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and Peter's first sermon for the crowd that misunderstood what was happening. Pulling inspiration from Joel 2, he proclaims the saving love of Jesus, and 3,000 people respond to his preaching. The Church burst onto the scene on Pentecost, and the world has never been the same. How does the Holy Spirit continue to inspire us to speak up?

Scripture: Acts 1:1-11
Series: Resurrection
How does Jesus' ascension connect to his resurrection and connect to us? In the resurrection, Jesus defeated death, but his ascension in the sight of his disciples proved it was possible and further strengthened our hope in our own resurrection following our deaths. In the meantime, Jesus has given us a charge: to be witnesses. How do you witness to your faith where you are, in the world around you, and to the ends of the earth?

Welcome to another episode of the Cut for Time Podcast! After a very busy Sunday and a very short sermon, Pastor Clay and Eric met up to add some more context to the message and the life of Saul who turned into Paul. This was a turning point in his life. We all come to those turning point moments. Pastor Clay will share one of his; as he does, consider your own turning points and give thanks to God!
