Mosaic is a beautifully diverse family of broken people who GATHER together around Jesus and SCATTER throughout the world making disciples and championing his Name and Fame in the power of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God
Jesus seems laser-focused on the mission moving forward despite the growing crowds that begin gather around Him. He goes and encounters a man not allowed to be near the crowds. A man pushed away from society and any hope of a future. How does Jesus relate to him? What does that mean for us when we come to Jesus with our own brokenness or encounter brokenness in others?
Jesus calls His first disciples and invites them into his mission. In radical immediate obedience, they drop everything and follow Him. Why does this response seem so rare today in our Christian culture? What is missing in our understanding of Jesus and his call on our lives?
Scripture tells us that Jesus is the center of our faith and the foundation of the movement called the Church. Often though it looks like the Church and many Christians have built a whole culture and way of life that doesn’t reflect the person and work of Jesus. In this next season at Mosaic, we want to take an extended look at the life, teachings, and accomplishments of Jesus. We will look in through the eyes of Mark so that we can live out all that Jesus has called us to do and be.
In our culture, we are pulled into very polarizing positions. When we disagree with unjust power holders we struggle with how to respond in Christ-like ways. Daniel shows us that we can be faithful servants of those in power and even show deep empathy and yet we can still speak truth and call those in power to repentance. This is only possible when we remember that we are exiles and our highest allegiance is to a King who rules over the universe.
Daniel chapter 3 is the familiar Sunday School story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It is a picture of what it looks like to stand up for God when the culture around us is going in the opposite direction. What will be the result of such radical obedience to God? We are made to prosper, not for our own sake, but for the purpose of serving in and love the culture around us. As we faithfully do this as exiles in a fallen world, more people come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and God is ultimately glorified.
Does God Have Something To Say by Mosaic - Conway
Mosaic desires to see people grow in their relationship with Jesus, to have a real age encounter with him, grow in their confidence, to share him with the world, and invite others into the community that we share together.
We desire to be a place at Mosaic that invites broken people to cultivate a family together. To do that we must learn how to walk together.
In Mark 10:17-31, Jesus encounters a rich young ruler who wants to know what to do in order to inherit eternal life. Because Jesus loves him, Jesus tells him there is one thing that he lacks then gives the young man instruction to sell all he has and come follow him. The young man goes away sad because he isn't going to do it. Is this a passage about finances or a passage about eternal life? In this message, we wrestle with that question and ultimately we are pointed back to the Gospel and reminded that what is impossible with man is possible with God.
Jon Priest - Maintaining Momentum by Mosaic - Conway
Often one of the hardest things to do as we walk in the freedom God wants for our lives is to reconcile relationships that have been broken by sin. And whether we’ve been sinned against or been the one who caused pain in a loved one the key to freedom is the art of forgiveness.
What does transformation look like? How does it happen? What should be our focus? These are all important questions to answer if we desire to live in the freedom that Jesus promises. The one thing that must be understood is that the power to change comes only through God's grace. It is only by relying on the power of God working in and through us, that we can experience true and lasting change.
It seems again and again that our guilt crushes our ability to move forward in life. As we reflect with shame about what we’ve done we begin to struggle to hope for a better future. But that’s not how the gospel works...
As we walk the path God has designed for our freedom and joy, it becomes clear that the path requires something of us. Sometimes what Jesus demands seems more than we can give. But there is no freedom to be found without making the commitment choice. What does this look like? How do we do it?
As we continue with our series "Living Free," Louis Young shares with us about hope. In order to move forward from brokenness to healing, restoration, and redemption, we earnestly believe in the hope of Jesus Christ. We rest in the knowledge that God is who He says He is, that we matter deeply to Him, and we can receive His power to overcome. These principles are the foundation for moving forward in our relationship with God and to live out the abundant life that Jesus promises in the gospels.
We are a culture that loves our freedom. Personal choice and autonomy are some of our highest values. We express this with statements like “you do you”; or “if it makes you happy that’s all that matters”. But these attitudes about our choices are a trap and actually enslave us because they allow us to believe that no one can say anything about what we choose to do... not even God..... Before long, we find ourselves enslaved by habits, destructive relationships, and wounds that make moving forward virtually impossible. Which raises the question, what does it mean to actually live free? To experience life to the fullest? And how do we untie the knots of our broken lives and experience the joy God has for us? Over the next 8 weeks, we’re gonna ask the questions: what is true freedom? And if we are bound up in our pain and brokenness how do we invite Christ into each part of our life and live in the freedom he desires for us. If you want to live free, walk with us as we follow Jesus together.
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?" Dr. Phil Fletcher shares with us how our faith in what Jesus has done should lead us into action, helping those in need.
Are we allowing our own self-righteousness to get in the way of fully experiencing what our Heavenly Father has to offer us as His sons and daughters?
It’s easy to feel the tension of our culture when it comes to sharing Jesus with our neighbors. Often we resolve the tension by convincing ourselves that our love, resulting in action, says enough. But, what if it isn’t? What if love for our neighbors actually demands that we tell them of the beauty we have found in the person of Jesus? That our neighbors aren’t truly loved by Jesus followers unless Jesus is “heard” as the only reliable hope for Joy? What would embolden us to share this good news?
Jesus eats and drinks with sinners. Do we? Jesus shares tables with prideful religious people, and those caught in the most shame. Do we? What could happen in our lives and in our city if we set our eyes on Jesus, and shared a table with our neighbors?
It’s easy to live our lives completely focused on what we have to do, where we need to go and the things that are causing us stress. We become so self-focused we completely miss our neighbors. We see them, but never really SEE them with the compassion that Jesus followers are called to have. Check out this week’s talk as we look at how compassion for our neighbors can empower us to love them the way God does.
Jesus famously said that the whole law of God could be summed up with the command to love God with everything you have and love your neighbor as yourself. But today, like then, many of us are asking the question: “who’s my neighbor”? Or maybe we are asking the question another way... “how do I love my neighbor”? As simple as those questions may be, the answers aren’t always easy. Often true action-based love for our neighbors confronts all kinds of idols in our own heart. Moreover, it pushes us out of our comfort zone and into the messy world around us. Join us on our journey toward Easter as we press into Jesus, and allow Him to use us to love our city.
As we come to the final chapter of the Book of Acts, Pastor Chuck closes out our series Finish the Mission.
As we are coming up to the last couple chapters in our journey through the book of Acts, Harold Nash continues our series Finish the Mission.
The life we have been given is filled with so many opportunities, challenges, triumphs, and the list can go one. But along the way, each of these things forms a platform that we will inevitably stand on. The question is when we are up there, what are we going to say and what are we hoping to accomplish? Pastor Randall continues our series, "Finish the Mission," as he goes through Acts 26.
Paul’s trial seems to go on forever. Stuck for two years in a Roman prison he finally gets to stand trial to face his charges. In dramatic fashion, he appeals his case to Ceasar! Pastor Chuck shares as we walk through Acts 25 and press in to put our confidence in Jesus!
As we continue through the Book of Acts, Pastor Charles continues our series "Finish the Mission."
It is a common thing in the course of our lives to face discouragement. To get emotionally and physically exhausted to the point of wondering if we can go on. As we continue our series through the book of Acts, Pastor Chuck shares with us what spiritual weapon God has given us that could be a game changer against these feelings of despondency.
Paul enters Jerusalem returning from his missionary journeys and is encountered with extreme opposition. How will he handle the pressure to please the Crown? How will he explain his calling? Pastor Chuck shares with us how Paul navigates this hostile moment and walks boldly in the purposes of God.
After traveling the known world Paul is on a Spirit-fueled mission to get back to Jerusalem and share the reports of what God is doing around the world. As the Spirit makes clear, Paul will encounter opposition and persecution as he goes. Sometimes we wonder if it can really be the Spirit if He seems to be pointing us to situations that risk our security, health, or prosperity. But Paul is driven by other motivations. Namely to know Christ and make Him known.
Pastor Chuck continues our series through the Book of Acts; Finish the Mission.
Our life can be filled with many oppositions. However, the oppositions must not be stronger than our "why." Pastor Charles Simmons from Connect Church continues our series through the Book of Acts; Finish the Mission and encourages on how to stay the course.
We live in a society where moments come and go. Where life can move so fast that we find ourselves wanting to just get to the next point to find our rest. But what if the rest that our souls need doesn't come from us just making it to the next thing but our souls returning to the One who has always been there? What would it look like if we paused for a moment as the noise and rush of the new year around us comes and we paused and took a moment to reflect on the health of our souls?
Corey Sanders, the lead teaching pastor at Movement Church - Homestead shared with us how just being helpful is not enough if we are called to impact the world for Jesus.
Pastor Chuck closes out the last week of Advent as we come together to worship the coming of our King and celebrate the great acts of God.
In this Christmas season of Advent, we are challenged to rejoice! Yet that can feel almost impossible as the pressure of life and pain of our journey seems to crush us. Yet we are commanded to rejoice. How can God command us to feel something that we can't control? The answer is found as we pursue God to satisfy the longings of our soul. He provides more joy than our heart can hold. Let's go to the well of our salvation and drink in the joy Jesus provides.
