Mosaic Church Teachings

The Christian life is like going to a gym when you're super out-of-shape! We're taking small, modified steps toward greater health and strength! In this teaching, we look at how Tallgrass Church can keep training for Godliness together this fall as we rally around a common cause, in the midst of compelling community, with consistent coaching. We also learn about the strategic concept of taking ste...

Many of us have some self-defense training. We know what to do if we're attacked. But would you know how to defend yourself against demonic attack? Most, even Christians, have no actionable idea. This teaching is meant to help you recognize spiritual attacks in your own life and know how to defend yourself effectively. We discover that God has not left us defenseless, but has given us powerful wea...

Just what IS "church", and how should we relate to it? How much time are we really expected to spend "going to it"? Most people think church is a building you go to on Sundays. But the Bible teaches differently. In this teaching we dive into the heart of the matter and consider just what kind of a life we're invited into as we relate to one another in the church!

We don't just worship at church. We're called to worship AND represent Jesus at our workplace too!

God is even more interested in you having a fulfilling sex life than you are! He wants to teach us how to relate to our sexuality for maximum sexual satisfaction and minimum struggle.

And we discover a God who has moved heaven...

How should followers of Jesus relate to our culture? Should we pull back? Lean in? Engage cautiously? What should we accept outright? Reject outright? And what can we redeem and make work for the Kingdom good? In this teaching, we look from Genesis to Revelation to discover God's radical heart for our whole world and how He intends his children to build His Kingdom here, being in the world, yet no...

Time rolls faster and faster -- and in no place more than in our families, especially when kids are young! Unless we're careful and intentional, these strategic and formative years will pass us by and we'll miss the opportunity to raise our children "in the way of the Lord." In this teaching, we look carefully at how followers of Jesus should relate to our families and seize the kairos moments to...

How should followers of Jesus relate to our smartphones? This question is increasingly strategic and vital in an age of unprecedented technological innovation and connectedness. In this teaching, we look at what the Bible teaches -- thankfully it's not silent on this topic! And we discover clear and applicable answers about what our lives should be producing and thus what our technology should emp...

Life is messy. Relationships are messy. And church is messy. Relating well doesn't come naturally, it doesn't happen by default -- no, not even at church! So just how are our relationships supposed to look with folks in our church? How do we keep moving that direction together? And what's a next step for me to take, personally?

Why do most of us have hundreds of friends on Facebook, yet are still so lonely? This is perhaps one of the most profound questions of our time. The Bible tells us that we were made to relate deeply with God and each other -- an experience increasingly and ironically rare in our digitally connected world. In this teaching, we explore our deep longings for relationship and see how Jesus models and...

It also talks practically about what discipleship might look like and how y...

This teaching looks at our relationship with God and how deeply and desperately our souls long for connection with Him.  We learn that God loves us just as we are, not as we should be.

This teaching looks at our foundational need to relate to ourselves well.  Because of the Gospel, we're called to let Jesus heal our relationship with our own souls by learning to listen to ourselves and speak to ourselves.

This Easter teaching looked at the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus through the lens of our sin and shame. Jesus took our shame upon himself so that we could get his glory! Jesus offers us the only real hope for a shame-free life.
