What if God can use us to shape the trajectory of someone's life through an ordinary conversation over coffee or a meal? That's what happened to our Associate Pastor Bill Radtke. He and Curt share the message this week and Bill has an announcement about something new God is doing in him and his family.

Many times we try to find God in the extraordinary when He is waiting for us in the ordinary. How can we experience deep faith through embracing the interruptions in life?

In the final message of our Wisdom series Bill Radtke leads us through a main theme of the Book of Ecclesiastes. The Gift of God. What is it... Listen and see.

This Mother's Day message is brought to you by one of Mosaic wisest Momma's Karissa Bettendorf. Karissa introduces us to the book of Ecclesiastes. An often misunderstood book of the bible Karissa dives into how the book guides us to be wise in the areas of our life we cannot control.

This week our special guest speaker and Job expert Eric Smith from Pillar Seminary unpacks how Job's friends had correct theology misapplied. And how we can actually be wise (unlike Job's friends) and help those going through suffering.

This week our special guest speaker and Job expert Eric Smith from Pillar Seminary unpacks the wisdom in the book of Job. The Proverbial wisdom of "do good get good" gets thrown on it's head when Job does everything right but gets nothing but atrocities in return. The book of Job is necessary because we can all point to times in our life where we did all the right things but got not...

What is wisdom? When we think of the wisest person we know many of us wouldn't consider that person the richest, most intelligent, or most successful people we know. Then what is this elusive attritube? Why is it worth pursuing? How do we get it? The book of Proverbs describes wisdom as a skill we can attain. Like a craftsman learning a trade we can learn to be wise regardless of our circumst...

The book of Proverbs is not meant to be read as a 365 day reading plan. It's meant to be read much more slowly and meditatively. Today's goal is to teach you how to read the book of Proverbs and allow it to hold up a mirror to your soul. We also set out to tackle themes in Proverbs like Fear of the Lord, Grace, and being rescued from the tyranny of the urgent.

In the tension of Good Friday and Easter, are we willing to let Jesus tend the garden of our hearts. Do we trust that Jesus is stronger than every chaotic power at work in our lives? And should the worst thing come, the worst thing is never the last thing. For more information please visit us online at www.mosaiclincoln.com

God is doing something in you and calling you to a unique path to walk. Something that is good, beautiful and true that you can bring into the world. Jesus death invites us to be set free from spending so much of our energy in oppositional ways and pulls us into invitational energy. To invite the world to see all that is good, beautiful, and true.

Jesus' final words in the book of John were "IT IS FINISHED." Finished? Do we end the story of Jesus on the cross uttering finished? What did Jesus finish? What is John trying to get us to see in his writings that Jesus finished? This week we dive into what Jesus finished on the cross and how he is bringing us into something new. Jesus didn't just die for people to go to heaven...

Why exactly did Jesus have to die? Why did God orchestrate things that way? Why blood? Did God kill Jesus instead of killing me? Many times we jump to conclusion about God or Jesus based on limited information. This week we address the hard to understand parts of the cross and how God is always on a mission to live among his people. This week we dive deep into the ancient practice of animal sacrif...

Have you ever wondered why Jesus had to die? Why did God set it up that way? Could there have been a different way? Well if you have then you’re in good company. Jesus’ followers asked the same tough questions. We want to step into the tension. Why were the disciples confused when Jesus said he was the Messiah and that he had to die? It's almost as if they were on two totally different wave l...

“If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.” - St. John of the Cross

In 361 AD Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate spoke of Christians living in his kingdom. “Atheism (Julian’s pejorative term for Christianity) has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. It is a scandal that there is not a single Jew who is a beggar and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but...

"Life is full of mystery. The deepest, richest and most complex theories that science can ever come up with only serve to highlight the fact that there is still a depth of mystery which goes way beyond it all.” NT Wright

The difference between the church and the world is not spacial (i.e. God is here and not there). There is no in here and out there. Instead, the church experiences God’s presence now. The whole world will experience it eventually. We, the church, put it on display now in our present time. It’s all a matter of timing. We experience his presence ahead of time and put it on display for the world. We...

What can Zechariah's song teach us about the tension of waiting on hope. Zechariah thought he knew his story until God showed up and changed his life forever. As we wait in the tension of hope, and are we open and willing to allow God to change our story.

In the book of Luke we find 4 songs surrounding the birth of Jesus. These first Christmas songs were meant to clear a space in the lives of the people singing them as they prepared for the birth of Jesus. For us these songs do the same. They clear out the clutter, and give room to reflect on our Kings arrival 2000 years ago, and anticipate his arrival to come once again. In Mary's song we see...

David's roller coaster wilderness experience continues as he becomes king and his son Absalom wars against him. In the midst of all this David pens a Psalm of gratitude. How in the midst of so much conflict was David able to continue to live a life of gratitude?

As Mosaic steps out of the wilderness we look to the biblical story of David found in 1 and 2 Samuel. What can we learn about David's life, his wilderness journey, and his destiny to be king as we step into this next chapter of our story.
