Mosaic Church

(WARNING: POOR AUDIO DUE TO OUTDOOR SERVICE) One of the most misused verses by people both inside and outside the church: "Judge not least ye be judged." In Matthew 7:1-5 Jesus warns us about judging others, but does that mean we shouldn't call out sin? This passage actually offers us a view of the Kingdom and exposes our intentions when we point out other's faults.

Jesus begins to summarize his teaching on the mountainside with a shocking statement...narrow is the road that leads to heaven. This proclamation, along with the idea that many would say they did things for Him but He never knew them would have shaken the crowd. How do we know where we stand with God and we truly know if we enter eternity with Him?

Worry and anxiety have been a growing trend over the past decade. Add the pandemic, and it has now skyrocketed out of control. But at the root of worry is something we find hard to admit--our worry really means we don't believe God will provide. In Matthew 6:35-34 Jesus reminds us that God provides for all of his creation, so why do we question if he will provide for us?

The discussion of possessions and money often makes us tense up. Perhaps a poor upbringing, a need for control, or even the desire for power and acceptance drives our viewpoint. There seems to be something deeply connected to our fixation with money, and Jesus knew it. In this powerful passage in Matthew 6:19-24, we learn that the Kingdom way of seeing our resources is not to hoard, but instead be...

If we are honest, prayer can be down right confusing at times. Do I have to say certain things? Is there a right way and a wrong way? What if I don't have the right words? Jesus addresses how prayer was happening the wrong way during His time, and offers a simple, new way...prayer is a time to connect with your Daddy.

The disciples and followers of Jesus were crushed...their Lord had been killed. They must have surely thought it was over, and that God lost. As the women reached the tomb and found it empty, they were reminded that Jesus told them he would be killed and rise again. As they ran back to tell the others, a new story was developing...God wins.

The power of the gospel has the ability to transform us and give us a new life and direction. However, so many Christians skip that part and live a life that looks like rest of the world. Paul writes an urgent letter to the church in Ephesus who were struggling with the same thing. We must engage the power of gospel and be transformed if we are to live a life worthy of being identified with Jesus...

Broken, bleeding, weak, and dying. These words bring a picture of pure desperation. In Mark 5 Jesus engaged two women who were suffering and dying and did something amazing...He displayed His power over illness and death. His miracles prove that even death obeys Jesus and gives us all hope for both now and eternity.

How often we forget what God has done to save us from our sin. Then we add more confusion to the mix by trying to earn God's approval, favor, and acceptance. However, that is not the true gospel The beauty the gospel is that we will never be able to measure up, but Jesus has done all the work for us. How does our faith change when we accept God's forgiveness is a free gift based on our need, not o...

It is so easy to accept God's blessings and move forward without pausing and worshipping Him. However, we are warned in Deuteronomy to remember Him, even when everything is going well. This special sermon breaks from the series to recognize the unbelievable blessings God has poured on the Mosaic family and the building project. Pause with us as we worship Jehovah Jireh: The Lord Will Provide.

In Jesus' time, many of the religious leaders believed he was faking his miracles and routinely demanded him to prove he was God by producing more signs and wonders. The problem for them, and for us today, is that no matter what God has done or will do, we're always going to struggle with doubt. How can we embrace the hope of the gospel in such a way that we turn from yelling “Prove it!” to God to...

It doesn’t take much to recognize that our world is broken, and filled with things that we just can’t fix. But where we can’t, Jesus can. The story of the Roman centurion from Matthew 8 reveals not only that Jesus is willing to receive our brokenness, but he’s also more than able to heal it too.

Jesus called his disciples and told them they would have a shift in their purpose: from fishing for fish to fishing for lost, hurting people. When we focus on the gospel, we find our purpose is the same as theirs over 2000 years later. How do we embrace this calling from Jesus and live on mission in our daily lives?

Many people believe that a real relationship with Jesus can change lives. However, so many of us are timid or afraid to even share our faith with our friends. This idea is challenged when we look at four friends who were willing to cut a hole in the roof to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus. Is church meant to be a comfortable place for you, or a place for your community to come in contact with...

Samson had a special calling on his life. He was set apart by God to lead Israel and bring them back to Him. However, he over and over again rejected that calling, choosing his ways over the Lords. In the end, the aftermath of sin his led to his ultimate destruction. How can we avoid the same fate and fulfill our calling before it is too late?

We’ve all been in situations where we’ve wanted to get even when someone hurts us. We want revenge. However, in those moments God has a better way. The story of Samson reveals how we can choose to do right when we’ve been wronged.

Have you ever prayed and prayed for something only to feel like God isn't listening to you? In 2 Corinthians, Paul shares how he had been praying over and over, for God to say "no." God's response gave Paul and all of us a new perspective on prayer: in our weakest place we are strongest when we fully rely on the Lord. How can we look at prayer through this new perspective and worship God, regardle...

If we are honest with ourselves, when we REALLY want something, we are willing to compromise our standards…if we believe it is not that big of a deal. But these small compromises add up over time and become our character. What can we learn from Samson who compromised his special calling to gain what he wanted instead?

Let's face it, some people are born with advantages that others do not have. Athletic, academic, financial...the list could go on and on. It would seem some people are simply set up to win. That is where the story of Samson begins. He was given all the advantages, beginning in the womb, to have a life set apart and on mission for God. However, we are going to learn a godly upbringing does not guar...

No one imagined what was coming as we celebrated the New Year in 2020. It turned out to be a year of global struggle, heartache, and loss. However, as we move to 2021 many enter with fear and uncertainty. Others hope to return to the glory days before COVID-19 to find normalcy. Regardless, God has instructed us to trust Him, to look forward for the new work He is doing, and to not dwell in the pas...

At Christmas we think often think of a bright star, angels singing, the manger, and the Messiah being born. Rightfully so. But perhaps we need to change our perspective. Have you ever thought of what Jesus had to give up to born that day? The King of all creation willingly laid aside everything to come as a child to a poor family from Nazareth. That cradle led to a cross, and the cross back to His...

Let's face it, finding joy these days can be really difficult. But the good news of the Christmas story is that God offers a deep and abiding joy to everyone that isn't based on our circumstances.

The prophet Isaiah wrote about it hundreds of years before. God was going to send a Messiah to save them. However, the message became murky as many believed he was going to save them from the political rule of Rome. The promise of one who would be the Prince of Peace was, and still is, so much greater than a political figure. He brought shalom to all of humanity.

Our Christmas stories have often presented a pregnant Mary, about to give birth with door after door being slammed in her face. However, through a different lens we see an outpouring of hospitality and a welcoming family that invited Mary and Joseph a home to stay in. That generosity and welcoming heart laid the groundwork for Jesus to be born and worshipped by shepherds and wise men. The story of...

Loving the people who are just like us is so easy that everybody does it. But what about the people who are hard to get along with, or who vote differently than we do, or even people who insult us? Do we REALLY have to love them as well? Find out what Jesus says, and why who you love is so important in His kingdom.
