Peter saw Jesus on the water. And he said, Lord, if it is you, bid me to come. Was he just defying gravity?
Or was there a deeper reality?

We've looked at developing the right heart. We've looked at developing the right mindset, but now how do we give ourselves to 1,000 year game plan in the day-to-day life. What does that look like?

One of the principles of the kingdom is to be attentive to what God is doing around you. We live in a world that tends to be globally focused. How do we care for the part of the globe that God has called us to? And how do we do it like Jesus?

What does it truly mean to surrender my will, to choose God's will instead of my own? It is a deep question that every believer must wrestle with!

Friends, we're told by popular culture, to plan for an 80, 90, possibly even a 100-year life. But what if God's vision is much bigger for us? As we start this new series, One Eternal Life, we're going to ask the question, how do we build a 1000-year game plan?

As we come to the close of our series through Exodus, we come back around to the question of what shall we do? How do we partner with God to reclaim holy time and space? Finally, in these last few chapters, we see that the Israelites discovered how to do just that. It's our hope that, as a community, we will have a clearer understanding of how to do that in 2026.

I always thought jealousy was a bad thing, but scripture calls God a jealous God. What does that mean, and how is that good news for us?

We are so excited for our NextGen Team to take over the Sunday service this week! We will be reading Luke 15, and talking about the Celebration Culture of Heaven...How do we at Mosaic create a multi-generational celebration culture? We Ring the Bells of Heaven: When the lost are found When those that feel insignificant are honored When people are restored to God's community

We talk a lot about knowing God but, perhaps we talk far too little about being known by God. And perhaps being known by God is the way we learn to walk in the favor of God.

While Moses was on the mountain, God's people were in rebellion in the valley. How do we live in the valley with mountaintop vision, with understanding, wisdom and character? The answer to that question is what makes us people who bring the goodness of God from the top of the mountain to those in the valley.

God used the Israelites journey through the wilderness to teach them how to be His People. Sabbath-keeping comes in at #4 on His Top Ten List. Come see what it looks like to keep the Sabbath holy and learn about the gifts we've been given to make obedience easier. All God's People are blessed when they faithfully keep the Lord's Sabbath. Come and join in the blessing!

The Apostle John said “the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us.” This Sunday, we're going to be looking at the construction of the tabernacle and how it all beautifully points back to Jesus.

Christmas. Emmanuel. “God with us.” That reality changes everything. Join us Sunday morning, and let's consider how Christmas changes everything. Me, you, Mosaic, and the world around us.

As we enter the second week of Advent, we turn our attention to the we'll look at significant biblical figures such as Mary and Joseph, and more fringe biblical figures like Simeon and Anna. What they all had in common was they built their lives around Yahweh. Their willingness to build their lives around God enabled them to have a deeper sense of peace, rest and consolation amidst a chaotic world. May we do the same!

This Sunday, we start our advent series The Twice Coming King. It's a look at how biblical figures prepared for the first coming as we prepare for the second coming of Christ. This week, join us as we look at Micah chapters 4–5, and walk in the shoes of people who were in exile looking for the long awaited king. We, too, can find grace as we wait for the return of our good King Jesus.

We've been journeying through a series called Reclaiming Holy Time and Space. Now, as we shift from reclaiming holy time to reclaiming holy space, we see God instructing the creation of the tabernacle—a structure both beautiful and intentional. It serves as a foreshadowing of Jesus' prayer, “May it be on earth as it is in the heavens.” At the very center of this holy space is the mercy seat, a powerful symbol of God's desire for closeness with His people. Through it, God invites us into an intimacy rooted in His love, grace, and mercy.

From Carolyn Moore: "It is always a joy to be home! And even better when I get the opportunity to open the Word with our whole community! I am looking forward to being with you this Sunday — to share stories from the field, to continue our exploration of Exodus, and to worship together our good, good God."

Last week, we looked at how God's law calls us to do no harm. This week, we'll look at how it calls us to do good and how doing good is not only part of the answer to the madness in our world. It's also an answer to fostering God's kingdom in our souls.

When you look into the laws of God, they can be a bit disorienting because of the divide between time and culture. But when you look more deeply, you begin to see God calling on people who are more focused on reconciliation than simply retribution, more focused on the good of the whole than the good of just my personal stuff. What a refreshing word this can be for us as a community!

God called his people to consecrate themselves to meet with him on the mountain. But it wasn't a burdensome thing. It was because he wanted to make them his treasured possession, his treasured people, that would reveal the treasure of his heart to the world. Friends, I think God is calling us into a similar place.

Friends, we have a true blessing this weekend. As you know, we have been in partnership with UGA Wesley for many, many years. UGA Wesley is the largest Wesley foundation in America. And now this Sunday, Rev. Bob Beckwith, a long time director of UGA Wesley, will be speaking to us at our GIC.

What is it? That is the question! The Israelites walk through the wilderness. They see these flakes of bread, and they ask, what is it? Which asks us to consider what God's provision will look like? And how does the belief that God does provide free us up to live into the mission of God?

Crossing the Red Sea was actually a baptism. It was a baptism that took the Israelites from fear to trust, from slavery to freedom. Find out how we also enter into that baptism as followers of Jesus.

Passover is a Jewish holiday that has been held throughout the ages. And yet, it is the greatest picture the Old Testament gives us of what Christ did for us on the cross. It's no coincidence that Jesus died just after celebrating Passover with His disciples. So, what does this mean for us today—and how can we fully live in the grace God offers through Jesus, our ultimate Passover Lamb?

In the ninth plague, God released a darkness that could be felt. What does that mean for us today when we feel the darkness? How do we find God's light in the midst of dark times?

We think of salvation as just an individual thing. What if God wants to save communities? And if so, how do we participate in that work?

Have you ever noticed that life is more complex than we wish it was? That we'd like things to be an A plus B equals C equation, but sometimes it feels like a lot more complicated than that. Exodus 5 and 6 begin to pull back the curtains and show us both the depths and complexity of reality, but more importantly, the God who stands behind it and with us.

God is always at work in our lives and in the world. And God is always inviting us to join Him in what He is doing. So, what keeps us from responding to His invitation? What gets in our way? And how can we become free to say, “Yes?” Let's consider those questions and the answer this Sunday as we gather for worship.

Moses felt disorientation about his identity. But that disorientation somehow drove him to the mountain of God. In a world that feels at times very disorienting, how do we allow that uncomfortable feeling to move us towards God's kingdom?

As we begin a new series, we are looking at what it means to reclaim holy time and space. Whether we are aware of it or not, there has never been a greater market for our time than at moment in human history. So what does it mean to reclaim time, and how does that help create holy space? How do these things find their roots in the early books of the Bible? Join us as we reclaim holy time and space with a walk through the book of Exodus.

We've looked at personal and social holiness. This week, we will look at the mission of holiness. Why does God call us to be holy as he was holy? How does that play into our purpose as God's people?

Is holiness only a personal matter, or is it also something social? What does it mean to care deeply about my own relationship with God while also being concerned for the spiritual lives of those around me? Find out with us!

Contrary to popular belief, holiness is a gift. It's a gift we embody in our person, and it's a gift we live in as the body of Christ. Over the next three weeks, we will spend a brief series on embodying holiness, both personally and as a community.
