Mosaic Church

We've all fallen into the trap of thinking that if we just follow a specific checklist, we're doing the right stuff to make God happy. The New Testament church in Galatia was no different, adding laws on top of salvation. Fortunately, God knew that we'd want to try to prove salvation with rules instead of faith. Hear what Paul shares about living in true freedom with Christ and what kind of fruit...

Halloween is the one time of year when its socially acceptable to for adults to dress up on costume to assume a new identity. But does a change of costume really alter our identity? Of course not! But through our justification by faith in Christ, we're recipients of a new identity that does not change. In Galatians 4. the Apostle Paul powerfully demonstrates why or identity in Christ is vastly sup...

Paul continues to make His case to the churches in Galatia that we are saved by faith in Jesus, not by our good works. In chapter 2, he is using the concept of how we are justified to God because of what Jesus has done, but what really is justification? Is it a big theological word and idea, or a concept that is vital to understand the gospel and our journey with God?

As Christianity spread, tensions were rising between people who gave their lives to Christ. The Jewish people wanted the non-Jewish converts to follow Jesus, AND Jewish customs, including following the Old Testament law. Paul points out that Christ followers have received the Holy Spirit by faith in Him, not by works or what Law they followed. If believers had to do both, it would mean they would...

Paul had to address a major issue in the Galatian churches he had started: they were beginning to believe a different gospel then what Paul had taught them. The people were starting to blend Judaism with Christianity, which meant they needed good works to be saved. This was causing confusion and was not what Jesus had taught then when He was on the earth. Salvation is offered purely on the grace o...

Cancel culture is not a new thing. People have always had ways of suppressing the voices and actions of people that they disagree with. In fact, American Christianity has its own culture and uses platforms to express its displeasure with the world. Is that what Christ as called His followers to? Debating, disagreeing, and making sure the world knows what is right and wrong? In Titus 3 we will find...

Cancel Culture | Part 3: Confession in Our Cancel Culture | Nick Joncowski by Mosaic Church

The church has been notoriously bad at dealing with sin. We tend to point fingers, or ignore wrong living all together. Paul has strong words in 1 Corinthians 5 for those who are in the church and living sinful lives without remorse – removal from the family. But is Paul calling the church to cancel people who won’t repent, or guide them to repentance?

It seems like our news is filled daily with stories of someone being cancelled. Another celebrity or high profile person is accused of a wrongdoing. A Christian stands up for their beliefs and is blasted on social media. With this “guilty until proven innocent” trend, where does the Christian stand? Do we stand against injustice and speak our minds against those who do wrong? Or do we stay in the...

Because of our experiences, we all have different definitions of love. Is the feeling of sweaty palms and rapid heartbeat when your crush walks in the room? Is it the love of a parent as they hold their newborn? Perhaps it is the great pain, great betrayal, and great loss of broken love. Our experiences cloud our perception of love, but the Bible makes it clear. Love is not what we think or feel,...

Everyday we bump into barriers that can limit our ability to share the Gospel with others. Sometimes those barriers can be people’s opinions of us, our politics, religious norms, or even pop culture. So how do we become Christ followers who break through barriers to share the love of God with everyone everywhere? In Mathew 9, we discover a story about Jesus breaking through ancient barriers, that...

As humans. we all have the tendency to compare our gifts and talents with others. And at church, it's no different. We compare ourselves to other believers' gifts and talents. But when we do so, we end up focusing on the wrong thing: ourselves. In Romans, Paul reminds us that we're all pieces of a bigger puzzle and no piece is more important than the other. In fact, every believer has a unique and...

Our church family has been through a lot. From its humble beginnings in a living room, to a school, through COVID, to being mobile, to landing back in Slinger. God has done amazing things, and we believe there is more to come. In this stand alone message, hear from Pastor Jason as he reminds us where we have been and the excitement of what's to come as Mosaic moves forward.

Often times in life, we do a good job of waying out options before we make a decision. Is my car worth that large repair bill, or should I buy a new one? Can we afford the mortgage on that new home? What steps can we take to make sure we have enough to live on in retirement? We are diligent to think through those scenarios, but perhaps never thought through this one: what does it cost me to be a d...

We’ve all had that moment. When we frantically scramble to find something we lost. The fear of not finding a wallet. The frustration over a lost set of keys. From big to small, losing something causes a level of stress and fear that can last moments, to forever if the item is never found. In Luke 15, Jesus begins teaching a crowd of people how God feels about His children that are lost to sin. The...

Procrastination. We all struggle with it to varying degrees. Whether we put off mowing the lawn or we delay studying for a big test. However, there’s one area of our lives where procrastination can have a BIG effect that very few of us ever think about…our spiritual lives. When we procrastinate in seeking to grow closer to God it not only hurts us, but others as well. Thankfully we’re not the firs...

How do you measure success in life? We all have a metric by which we tend to measure our success, whether we consciously acknowledge it or not. We live in a world that constantly advertises the idea that success is defined by our material possessions. But often times we wrestle with striking a balance between owning our stuff and our stuff owning us. The parable of the rich fool in Luke 12 gives u...

Villains | Part 5: Redeeming Villains | Nick Jonckowski by Mosaic Church

The once dominant Israelite army, led by military superstar Joshua, hits a wall and suffers a great loss. Was it the wrong strategy? Was it a lack of supplies or soldiers? Joshua is confused by this sudden loss knowing God had been leading and winning for them. The answer was revealed…there is a villain and sin in the camp. Someone had broken the covenant with God and now God has turned His back o...
