A community of faith, love, and hope. Mosaic Lincoln is a community characterized by both a deep faith in Jesus Christ and a great love for the city of Lincoln and its people. It is at the intersection of these two great loves that our community walks and it is the combination of the two that has le…
The Satan operates through a system known as Babylon. This system appears in many places and takes on different forms throughout the ages. It disorients and draws people away from God's way of life. To live faithfully within Babylon means recognizing its patterns while resting in the assurance that one day, Jesus will bring this system to its final end. God's people are not called to destroy the system of the Satan, but to entrust their lives to God's care and live in such a way that their shared life becomes a signpost—pointing to the coming day of God's new creation and enduring faithfulness. This leads us to rest even in the midst of disorienting days.Scriptures: Revelation 17, 18; Genesis 6, 10, 11
In Judeo-Christian scripture, The Satan appears in many forms: the serpent in Eden, the Leviathan in Job, the dragon in Revelation, the beasts rising from the sea in Daniel, and the devil of the New Testament. We're told that the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. But how do we begin to grasp this profound mystery? And how should this understanding shape the way we live as followers of Christ?In the weeks ahead, we'll begin to unpack these themes and explore what they mean for our faith and daily lives.Scriptures: 1 John 3:8, Genesis 1:21, Genesis 3
Easter reminds us that the goodness which shaped the universe and continues to sustain all of creation will ultimately triumph. But what does it mean to bear witness to this goodness? What does it look like to align ourselves with its energy and rhythm? The lives of Tabitha (Dorcas) and Peter offer us glimpses—examples of what it means to live in harmony with this divine goodness. May their witness inspire us to do the same.Scripture: Acts 1:8, Acts 9:36-42
The opening stanzas of Hebrew poetry in Genesis 1 declare that God saw all He had made—and it was very good. The Hebrew creation narrative goes on to reveal humanity's invitation to live within the goodness of the Creator and to share that goodness with one another.But where has all the goodness gone in our world?On Good Friday, God in Christ entered fully into human suffering and sin while extending mercy and forgiveness. Then, on Easter Sunday, the sustaining goodness of God broke through—proving it will prevail over every gravestone and every injustice.As the people of God, we are invited to live in this promise and to share this goodness with our neighbors, both near and far.Scriptures: Genesis 1–3, 1 Corinthians 15Concluding Story: The Coming of the King by Laura E. Richards, read by Jan Bretz
Paul and the church at Philippi received significant opposition to the true gospel they received through faith. Many pushed the church to pursue worldly forms of power and following rules and regulations to experience right relationship with Christ. Today we still experience these messages and feel this pressure, believing that right relationship with Christ can be earned by perfect doctrine and behaviors and believing Christ is somehow present more in power than weakness. Paul reminds us that it is only through faith that we have been made right with God. Paul reminds us when we suffer Christ co-suffers with us. Relationship with God isn't earned, it's freely given from God. Scriptures: Philippians 3:4b-14
Much of Western Christianity places a high focus on orthodoxy (right beliefs) and will even explore orthopraxy (actions/behaviors). What about our passions, desires, and fires within (orthopathy)? These realities within our souls can lead us into all kinds of bondage and create pain for ourselves and our neighbors, but the love of God is always inviting them back home into his refuge and care. This allows our passions and desires to be shaped in right ways for our own healing and that of the world.Scriptures: Psalm 32:1-7, Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
