Imagine being Mary - a young teen girl who is visited by an angel that tells you that you are going to have a son…even though you are a virgin. Imagine the fear, questions, and confusion. Every time you enter the market, people are whispering and talking about it. The difficult task of bringing Jesus into the world was on her shoulders. What can we learn from Mary and the impact she made on all of...

The Questions of Christmas | Part 1: Incarnation | Ashley Thomas by Mosaic Church

Often, we view our choices as ones that impact only ourselves. But wisdom not impacts our lives, but the lives around us. When we are generous, others reap the benefits. When we love outwardly, people who may not deserve such an act will receive love. The Proverbs teach us that Godly wisdom changes us, our community, and the world.

The book of Proverbs is full of statements, advice, and insight. This book is full of wisdom, and information on how to live our best life. With anxiety, stress, and depression on the rise, what truths can we find in the Proverbs to help us find mental, physical, and spiritual health?

Knowledge is all around us. With a few clicks we can find out information on any topic. However, wisdom is different. Wisdom guides us in making the correct decisions and choices at the right time. The book of Proverbs is a guide for all to know what is wise, and how we can apply it to our lives.

Jonah & the City | Part 4: Forgiveness | Scott Moore by Mosaic Church

Jonah is spit out by the great fish onto dry land and the Lord reinstated the mission He had for him: go to Ninevah and preach the truth of their sin. This time, he goes. The people heard the message and the nation mourned and repented. They turned from their ways, and God spared them. What can we learn about God as he forgives not just Ninevah, but Jonah too?

In chapter 2 of Jonah, we see our prophet in a terrible situation. Drowning and crying out to God. A great fish swallows him, and the chapter details his prayer and confession. In the darkest of days, do we call out to God in repentance and worship or do we blame Him and turn away?

Jonah & the City | Part 1: Embracing God's Calling | Sam Buchmeyer by Mosaic Church

The body cannot support itself without strength. Strength of muscles, bones, tendons and organs are vital to our survival. In Galatians 6 we are encouraged to use our strength to help those who are in a time of weakness. How does the Law of Christ to love God and love others give us the strength to carry other’s burdens?

Every day our lungs are filling with oxygen rich air. We rarely think about it, but this action keeps us alive and without it, we would perish. In the same way, prayer is vital to our spiritual lives. In Matthew 5, Jesus gives us instruction of how to pray and have a talking relationship with our Father. What is your relationship to prayer? Are you taking deep breaths or holding your breath?

We can do all the right things to take care of our body, but if we do not have proper nutrition, we will not have the power and endurance needed. In the same way, the scriptures are nutrition to our soul, giving us endurance and perseverance to follow the Kingdom of God.

When maintaining our relationship with God, we must keep one thing in mind above all else: Gratitude is the core of a healthy relationship with God. When the Hebrews were wandering in the desert, ingratitude led them to an unnecessary additional forty years before entering their promised land. The key to gratitude is remember who God is, and all He has done.

By Faith | Part 8: Hebrews 8 | Scott Moore by Mosaic Church

Chapter nine brings the Old Testament tabernacle to the forefront to explain how Jesus is the perfect High Priest and sacrifice. The old covenant was a place holder for when the perfect sacrifice would come, which was Jesus. He did only what he could do, which was to complete the old law to usher in the new covenant between God and humans. But it would cost the very blood of the messiah to be shed...

Chapter 7 turns our attention to a name we have already heard several times in the book of Hebrews, Melchizedek. This mysterious figure mentioned only one other time in Genesis seems to have a deep connection to proof that Jesus is the perfect High Priest, but in what ways? How can someone who seems to have such a small; role in the history of Israel have such an important role in proving the perm...

By Faith | Part 6: Hebrews 6 | Ashley Thomas by Mosaic Church

Hebrews 5 reminds us that Jesus is our perfect High Priest, chosen by God, who really gets our struggles because He faced suffering. That suffering brought Jesus to a place of obedience to the will of the Father. The chapter also pushes us to keep growing in our faith, not staying stuck in the basics, but becoming stronger and deeper in our relationship with God.

Jesus’ superiority over angels and Moses has been established. Now the author turns to compare how the Hebrews entered the rest of the promised land, and how that same rest is offered in a greater way to us through Jesus. We must take guard to stay close to the what the Word of God teaches us, so that we stay strong until the end.
