Galatians 2:19b-20 More than a passionate commitment to God and a set of beliefs so as to win the world for Jesus, faith is a willingness to enter into negation to see an all new reality open before us in the midst of our utter weakness and childlike trust so the love of God wins us and the world.

Colossians 3:3-4:1 Mosaic Gathering Prayer/Proclamation: October 27, 2019 What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we are called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to. But friends, that’s exactly who we are: loved children of God. Dear loved ch...

Colossians 2:20-3:4 Mosaic Gathering Prayer: October 20, 2019 We believe in God, the Great Sewist— Who weaves us together in community, Collecting our loose ends and turning them into belonging. We believe in the Holy Spirit— Who hems us in before and behind,  Catching us when we fall and writing us into God’s holy story.  And we believe in Jesus Christ— Who loved and claimed the people society ha...

Colossians 2:6-19 Mosaic Gathering Prayer: October 13, 2019 Gracious God, For the morning dawn, which promises new life; And for your love, which knows our name, We give you thanks. For a place to belong—for this place to belong— And for grace that is always bigger than we deserve, We give you thanks. For the promise of justice that will roll down like a mighty stream And light that shines in the...

Colossians 1:1-20, 28-2:3 What does the letter want to convey? A reality enveloped in Jesus the Christ is a reality saturated in liberation and love. "We need to know that God can not help because he is the God who was, is, and is to come. God does not have to help us in the ways we think we need him to help because the help he can offer is exceedingly better. We are asking for finite helps....

John 1:43-51 Mosaic Gathering Prayer: September 29, 2019 God of the seasons— You hold together the past, present and future. Help us to let go of the need for certainty, So that we can hold onto you. Help us let go of fear and comparison, So that we can hold onto you. Help us to let go of to-do lists and anxiety, So that we can hold onto you. God of the seasons, as we enter this space, We strive t...

John 10:10b Mosaic Gathering Prayer: September 22, 2019 Father, as we gather here in each other’s presence today, we bear witness to ourselves and to each other that You are among us.  You are God for us, and that is the Gospel Jesus, clothed in human flesh to experience Union with us, we assent that You hav...

Betsy Miller shares her story of evangelism. Mosaic Gathering Prayer: September 8, 2019 God, we come to you this morning, seeking your voice. Through the fog and the noise of life, we seek clarity. May we know you in the darkness and may we find you in the light.  Synchronize our hearts to the rhythm of your love. There are times for everything, times to rejoice and times of sorrow In these times,...

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow...

Bill, our former pastor during Mosaic's transitional period who moved to Florida in 2018, shared with us about his journey and what he has learned from then to now.

Again and again, the ancient and often ambiguous scriptures challenge and cheer us on as we walk our difficult paths of faith. They open windows and unlock doors inviting us to risk and to venture beyond what is familiar to seek God directly. They invite us to see through the words on the page to see what God is up to in the here and now so we can embrace wisdom and participate with God's wor...

Eric Smith, Founder and President of Pillar Seminary, joins us to share a little about what it means to "take it on the chin".

Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 28, 2019 As we clock our weekly hours, as we recount our past years, Lord there’s such temptation to look back with dissatisfaction, to compare our journeys with others’. Even as we follow You, God, self-doubt and fear of insufficiency follow us. They creep in like thieves and misdirect our attention. A million little moments we nearly miss and yet, in this brokennes...

More than showcasing his resurrection to the world, Jesus is passionate about speaking sacred moments of resurrection life into our existence. ‘Peace be with you’ is just one of the ways Jesus speaks God's new world into our experience of Good Friday tragedies and Holy Saturday silence and grief. Our sorrow, fear, skepticism and comparisons will be transformed as we become aware of these sacr...

Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 14, 2019 God, Creator of our world, artist of our hearts, author of our stories, we come to you with tired bones and white knuckles, as we attempt to hold on so tightly to what isn’t ours.   We acknowledge your presence as it fills this room through the breath from our lungs.   You are the beginning and the end, we come to You.  You feel our anxieties and you see our...

| Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 7, 2019 Father of us all We bring our hearts, minds and bodies before You this morning. Anything that is anxious and scattered within us, we still.

Sweet Spirit, You dwell within us and You see our thirst. Stro...

| Mosaic Gathering Prayer: March 31, 2019 God of Love, we come before you as your children. We acknowledge you as Creator and Sustainer of our lives. Some of us feel great faith and life at work inside of us, Some of us are hopeful skeptics underneath a weight of burdens, Some of us are filled with all kinds of questions, doubt, and despair,Some of us are bruised reeds and smoldering wicks. Your l...

As hikers need a compass, and as travelers need a map and a goal, followers of Jesus need a clear vision of what Jesus' kind of society looks like when it is lived out. In a cultural landscape that is part patriotism, part consumerism, part violence, part affluence and part vanity fair we believe Jesus is calling us to cultivate something very different. Join us for our Sunday gatherings as w...
