The crowds have scattered, and the body of Jesus was laid to rest. At sunrise 3 women make their war to the tomb to finish embalming His body, to be met with a terrifying surprise…the body of Jesus is gone. They are told that He had risen and to go tell the disciples, but the instead fled in fear. The resurrection proves his triumph over death, and it would take eyewitnesses of Him alive that woul...

Easter Sunday | The Name Above all Names | Jason Montano by Mosaic Church

Forsaken | Good Friday 2024 | Jason Montano by Mosaic Church

As Jesus ends up his instructional prayer, he lands with something that seems confusing: “God please don’t lead me into a place where I could sin.” But when we look into this further, that is not at all what is being petitioned. Continuing with the theme of bringing our needs before God, Jesus shows us we need to ask God to offer DELIVERANCE from something we cannot overcome on our own, evil.

The Lord's Prayer | Part 5: On Earth as it is in Heaven | Nick Jonckowski – Mosaic North Carolina by Mosaic Church

As Jesus continues in His prayer, He now brings a request to God: “give us today our daily bread.” This simple request is rich and full of meaning. Requesting the needs for the day, speaks against self-reliance and storing up for the future. Our hearts in prayer once again should be focused on our heavenly Father, but this time on how He is the one who gives us everything we need.

Jesus moves in His teaching on prayer that our focus is still not on us or our needs. Instead, we put our focus on God’s kingdom and His will. So few believers understand what this means, which often lead us to praying for the wrong things. If we look at God’s values and characteristics, we see a beautiful prayer of us seeking the expansion of God’s reign here on earth, just like it is in heaven....

Jesus moves in His teaching on how NOT to pray, to how to pray. The beginning is a bit shocking. He doesn’t give instructions on how to talk, or even how to ask God. He teaches us to address God as Father, as separate in heaven, and as protectors of His holy name. Jesus demonstrates that prayer starts with our hearts fully focused on Him, not on ourselves.

Have you ever been in a big circle of people, and they are going around the circle asking everyone to pray out loud? It can be so nerve-racking as some people use big, elaborate words seeming to know exactly what to say. How exactly do we pray, and just as important, how should we NOT pray? Jesus gives us the perfect answer and prayer in Matthew 6. Prayer must be meaningful, intimate, and focused...

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and with it mounds of chocolate, flowers, and cards. On this holiday, we take time to share with others how we feel about them and our relationships. Unfortunately, that way of thinking has crept into our relationship with God. We tend to have moments where we adore and worship Him, but that is not what He has asked of His people. God has called us to lo...

Remember those childhood games like kick the can and flashlight tag? What made them so fun was it was played in the dark, and we would use the shadows to try to sneak around. However, the darkness also held dangers, such as potholes, items in the yard, and more. Light brings everything into vision, and according to John, that includes our love for each other. When we live in the light like Jesus,...

Love Letters | Part 2: A Higher Love | Kurt Knutson by Mosaic Church

The idea of love has may different definitions, because we have our own ideas of what it means. As humans, we are limited to our ability to truly love. But what if God has a version that is not like ours, and is the most important part of our faith journey? 1 Corinthians 13 gives us a clear version of what God’s love is like, and one that we can experience both now and for eternity.

Regrets. We all have them. Some, deeper ones than others. Whether they are large or small, regrets can keep us prisoner to something that is in our past while God may be calling us to something new in our future. In this message, we will learn from the Apostle Paul and how he dealt with a major regret in his life. Did he hold on, or did he repent and allow God to show him a new path forward?

In with the new with our new series Out with the Old! We start the New Year off with a BANG as we make a New Year’s resolution together going through Mark 2:18-22. But instead of making the usual to-do list of goals, today we begin the year by changing our perspective. Why do we want to change something about ourselves every year? And why is this impulse shared by everyone? Join Kurt as he brings...

Ahhhh, the turning of another year. The turning of the calendar offers hope of new things to come. Because of that, so many people make resolutions to make big changes. However, so many don't follow through with them. What if 2024 was different? What if, this year, you resolve to seek wisdom in your life? Imagine what a year of searching, learning, and engaging the wisdom from the Bible would look...

For hundreds of years, God had been silent. Israel was waiting for the promised Messiah to come. Finally, the time arrived. Angels announced Him, shepherds came to see Him, and magi came to worship Him. The Messiah was here, but Israel was looking for the wrong thing. They wanted a king that was a powerful warrior and leader. Instead, the Messiah came as a humble servant, who would die so His peop...

Mary's Christmas | Part 3: Savior or Messiah? | Nick Jonckowski by Mosaic Church

When told that she was going to be the mother of the Son of God, Mary rushes to her cousin Elizabeth’s house to find her 6 months pregnant, just like the angel had said. Elizabeth is overcome by the Holy Spirit and blesses Mary and confirms the angel’s announcement. Mary responds with a song that worships God, speaks of His works in the past, and what the ministry of her son will be in the future....

Nativity scenes are everywhere in the Christmas season. We see a smiling, reverent Mary looking down at her new born son, while Joseph and animals look on. What we fail to recognize, is how Mary responds to the calling God gave her to be the mother of God’s son. This calling was not safe, secure, or known. On top of that, it would require more bravery and obedience then we could imagine. How will...

We’ve all seen the Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. We know how it goes – old miser Scrooge refuses to help others, and has used his life to collect as much wealth as he can for himself. In the process he lost who he really was and his love of Christmas. We see him as such a villain…but if we are honest, we have some of the same tendencies. Greed creeps into lives in different ways and betray...

This week, as we continue our series Seven Words to the Church Today, we visit the Church of Laodicea and Jesus’ letter to them in the book of Revelation. This church had a problem being pleasing to Jesus, and it has everything to do with their connection to Him. Is this a problem that we have today? Find out as we look at this letter together…

We live in a world that constantly demands our attention and tempts us to fixate on the immediate. So it’s not surprising then that as followers of Jesus it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters most in life. Drawing from the example of the unwavering faith of the Philadelphian believers in Revelation 3, we explore the timeless wisdom that ultimately helped to anchor their faith in the moment...

The church in Sardis had quite the reputation. They were known for doing amazing things, but Jesus saw otherwise. He saw them for who they truly were, and they were dying spiritually. To turn it around, the church would need to repent and a return back to being guided by the Holy Spirit. How can this stern warning from Jesus to the church in Sardis help us to place our love and focus where it trul...

As we continue on our journey through the Seven Letters to the Church in Revelation, we come across a church that struggled with tolerating an idolatrous, false teacher to influence them away from Jesus: The Church of Thyatira. In this sermon, Kurt will discuss the problem of tolerating false teaching and how to avoid false teaching in our lives
