The Jesus Way: Cruelty
Most of us are pretty good at managing how we look to other people. We curate the photos, choose our words carefully, and keep the messy parts out of sight. Somewhere along the way, protecting our image quietly becomes a full-time job. It shows up at work, at church, at home, and even online....
-
The Jesus Way: Vengeance
Everybody loves a good payback story in the movies. The hero gets wronged, the music swells, and by the final scene everyone gets what they deserve. Real life tends to be a little bit messier than the movies. In this lesson, we continue our series, The Jesus Way, and explore what Jesus does with...
-
The Jesus Way: Outrage
Our feeds, our newscasts, and even our group texts are built to keep us angry. Outrage gets clicks, and anger keeps us scrolling, so the loudest voices rise while the rest of us quietly pick a side. Over time that constant agitation wears us down, turns neighbours into opponents, and divides...
-
The Jesus Way: Contempt
Most of us would never say out loud that we look down on anyone. Yet somewhere between the group text, the comment section, and the holiday dinner table, many of us have become remarkably skilled at the eye-roll and the deep sigh. In this lesson we continue our series called The Jesus Way, and we...
-
The Jesus Way: Dominance
Most of us never set out to control everything. It usually starts small, with a plan we want to protect or an outcome we are afraid to lose. Over time, the grip tightens at home, at work, and in the way we talk about the world around us. In this lesson, in our new series The Jesus Way, we will...

A Place At The Table: Come And See
There's a moment in the Gospel of John where someone asks Jesus a simple question: "Where are you staying?" His answer wasn't a lecture or a pitch. He just said, "Come and see." That invitation still shapes how we think about community. We aren't trying to convince anyone of anything. We're…
more -
A Place At The Table: Your Life Is The Mission Field
Every good story has a mission, and most of us have never stopped to ask which story is shaping our own. What story do you think is directing how you spend your time, money, and energy? In this sermon we continue our series, A Place at the Table, by exploring what it means to live a missional…
more -
A Place At The Table: The Table Is Bigger Than You Think
Most of us say we want community, but what we actually want is familiarity. People who already get us. People who make things easy. Real hospitality asks something different of us. It asks us to make room at the table for people who don't fit as neatly, who bring their own mess and history into…
more -
A Place At The Table: The People You Didn't Choose
The Mission of Mosaic Church is to unite people in the Way of Jesus. Join us as we are continuing our new teaching services called A Place at the Table, where we walk through some ideas from Scripture about the convergence of hospitality, community, and mission.
-
A Place At The Table: We Aren't The Church By Ourselves
There's a strange kind of loneliness that shows up even when your calendar is full. You can have a dozen casual connections and still feel like nobody would notice if you disappeared for a month. Most of us have felt that at some point, even in seasons that looked full from the outside. This week...
-
The Church On Fire: The Open Ending
Paul's story in Acts ends without an ending. There is no verdict and no release, only two years in a rented house, guarded, waiting, and somehow still teaching with boldness and without hindrance. He never got to see how his own story turned out. Most of us are living in an unfinished chapter…
more -
The Church On Fire: Paul Takes The Stand
The world keeps telling us that doing right should lead to something good. Paul's story pushes back on that. He told the truth, defended his faith with total clarity, and still ended up in chains for two more years. We know that ache. The boundary you held that got you labeled difficult. The...
-
The Church On Fire: A Cause Worth Living For
Everyone wants something worth giving their life to. That desire isn’t a mistake because God put it there on purpose. But there is a trap waiting on the other side of finding your cause. The same conviction that gives you direction can quietly turn you hard toward everyone who does not share it....
-
The Church On Fire: More Blessed To Give Than To Receive
Do you believe Jesus knew what He was talking about? He said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Have you found that to be the case? When did you discover that giving is better than receiving? Have you acquired the taste for generosity? Tune in as we continue in the book of Acts…
more -
The Church On Fire: Moving On From Idolatry
Listen in as we continue studying the Book of Acts in our series, The Church On Fire.
-
The Church On Fire: Building Bridges To The Resurrection
In Acts 17, Paul builds bridges that can bear the weight of Resurrection when he engages the Epicureans and Stoics of the Areopagus in Athens. Join us as we look at Paul's deep concern and care for those with a very different yet similar perspective as his. God is near to all and wants all to…
more -
The Church On Fire: Lightning Strikes The Church
Check out the continuing series, "The Church On Fire" and dive into the Book of Acts.
-
The Church On Fire: Moving From Control To Surrender
Excerpted from a wide swath of the Book of Acts (7:51-8:4, 9:1-31) and taking a cue from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah's recognition that the will of the Lord will prosper (Isaiah 53:10), this talk explores how God works His purposes through real people. We consider how the Christian message...
-
The Church On Fire: The Ethiopian Eunuch
Join us as we continue the series “The Church On Fire,” teaching from the book of Acts.
-
A Church On Fire: Father's Day
Father’s Day. Here’s an important question: When your Heavenly Father thinks about you, what do you imagine his thoughts are? Is he pleased or displeased? Is he excited, angry, tenderhearted? Maybe he’s just a little disappointed? A second question is, what would you say is God’s defining…
more -
The Church On Fire: Costly Leadership
Most of us have something we keep avoiding because it feels too small, too thankless, or too far beneath what we think we should be doing. We're waiting for the work that finally feels significant. But Acts 6 tells the story of a man appointed to manage food distribution for a group of overlooked...
-
The Church On Fire: Unity In The Community Of God
The early church in Acts wasn't held together by shared politics or similar personalities. They were held together by something far more durable: a common allegiance to a risen King and a willingness to let that allegiance cost them something. They sold land. They shared resources. They carried…
more -
The Church On Fire: Fill Us Again
The disciples had already received the Spirit at Pentecost. So why did they need to be filled again? Because the Spirit isn't a one-time gift you open and set on a shelf. He is a continuously available, repeatedly renewable presence for whatever you're carrying right now. Acts 4 shows us a...
-
The Church On Fire: In The Name Of Jesus
Peter and John walked into the temple with nothing in their pockets and everything in their hands. When a lame man asked them for money, Peter's response was honest: "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you." What he had was a name that wasn't his own. Most of us spend our…
more -
The Church On Fire: The Spirit-Filled Church
Acts 2 describes a community so compelling that people were drawn to it every single day. They were sharing meals, carrying each other's burdens, learning together, and living with a generosity that made no sense by the world's standards. The Holy Spirit didn't just show up in their worship...
-
Mother's Day: A Panel Of Real Mothers
Motherhood changes everything. It reshapes how you see yourself, what you're willing to fight for, and what you're finally willing to let go of. It is one of the most profound transitions a person can walk through, and it rarely gets the honest conversation it deserves. In this teaching, we are...
-
The Church On Fire: The Turnaround
Peter denied Jesus three times. He was so shattered by it that he went back to fishing, as if the whole thing had never happened. Then the Holy Spirit came, and that same Peter stood up in front of thousands and preached the sermon that launched the church. Most of us disqualify ourselves based…
more -
The Church On Fire: Promise To Power
Wind. Fire. Strangers suddenly speaking languages they'd never learned. Nobody in that room had a category for what was happening on the Day of Pentecost. That's kind of the point. We tend to imagine the Holy Spirit arriving quietly, like a warm feeling or a gentle nudge. But Acts 2 describes...
-
The Church On Fire: Good Waiting - Good Reading, Good Thinking, Good Praying
Waiting is hard for most of us. We tend to treat it like wasted time, something to push through until the real thing finally starts. But the early church did something completely different with their waiting. Between the Ascension and Pentecost, 120 believers gathered together in an upper room in...
-
The Church On Fire: Ascension & Preparation
What would it look like if you were genuinely excited about God again? That's the question at the heart of our new series, The Church on Fire. We're going back to the very beginning of the Church, right after the resurrection, to watch a small group of confused and hopeful disciples figure out…
more -
Last Words: The Prayer Of Trust
Easter changes everything. Jesus spent his final moments on the cross forgiving enemies, caring for his mother, asking God the hardest questions, and ultimately trusting his Father with his last breath. These weren't the words of a victim. They were the words of someone who knew exactly what he…
more -
Last Words: It Is Finished.
This teaching is from Palm Sunday as we continued our Last Words series with the most loaded three words ever spoken: "It is finished." Not "I am finished." Not "I give up." Those three words were a declaration, not a defeat. Something was completed on that cross, something so total and final…
more -
Last Words: Questioning God
Jesus didn't die with a tidy explanation. He died asking a question. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He took on our confusion, our silence, our moments of feeling completely abandoned, and he still called out to the Father. That changes everything about how we pray and how we sit with...
-
Last Words: The Thirst for Fulfillment
Most of us have been taught that the crucifixion was something that happened to Jesus. Rome won, evil won, and a good man was crushed by forces bigger than himself. But John won't let you read it that way. He tells you that in the middle of the worst moment of his life, Jesus was knowing; aware,...
-
Last Words: Criminal Minds and the Savior's Words
There's something about the cross that strips everything down to bare honesty — no pretense, no religious resume, no time left for anything but the truth. This week in our Last Words series, we're sitting with one of the most unexpected conversations in all of Scripture: Jesus, dying, turning to…
more -
Last Words: A Family Affair
When everything was falling apart, he was still building something enduring. While hanging on the cross in unimaginable pain, Jesus looked at his mother and his close friend and formed a new family in that sacred moment. What if the cross was never only about personal forgiveness, but also about...
-
Last Words: The Divine Power Of Forgiveness
We are stepping into a new series called Last Words as we journey through Lent toward Easter. We are slowing down to consider what Jesus chose to say in the most painful moments of his life. When betrayal, injustice, and violence surrounded him, he did not curse his enemies or defend his…

Grace In The Gray: Not (Merely) A Concept, But A Power
What if grace is not just something you believe in, but something that is actively holding you together right now? So many of us are waiting for circumstances to shift before we can breathe again. We tell ourselves that peace will come when the diagnosis changes, when the relationship heals, when...
-
Grace In The Gray: When You Don't Know Where You Belong
There are seasons when change has already arrived, but clarity has not yet caught up. You sense that something no longer fits, yet you cannot fully name what comes next. That in-between space can feel disorienting, lonely, and strangely holy all at once. Scripture reminds us that feeling…
more -
Grace In The Gray: When Faith Feels Fragile
Some seasons in life do not shatter faith outright, but they slowly thin it over time. The prayers feel quieter than they used to feel before. Certainty feels farther away than it once did. What once felt solid now feels worn down by disappointment, loss, or unanswered questions that linger…
more -
Grace In The Gray: I'm Still Here
Most people do not want to quit at the beginning of a journey, and they rarely want to quit when the finish line is finally visible. The desire to give up usually shows up in the long middle, that quiet stretch where nothing seems to change and prayers feel unanswered. This is the season where...
-
Reset: Commit To The Celebration
How has gathering with others shaped your faith journey? In this teaching we conclude our series Reset: Sacred Rhythms for a New Year. This message is about anchoring ourselves in community and worship. From the families of Israel gathering for Passover to John pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of…
more -
Reset: A Rule Of Life
We live in a world obsessed with shortcuts, promising faster results, easier fixes, and change without real cost. Deep down, we know that kind of transformation never lasts, because meaningful growth always asks something of us. This week in our Reset series, we are talking about a Rule of Life.…
more -
Reset: Practicing Curiosity
A new year doesn’t need louder goals or more pressure to reinvent everything overnight. It needs clearer direction and deeper attention to what is forming us. This week in our Reset series, we’re exploring the practice of choosing a Word of the Year. This isn’t about catchy slogans or New Year’s...
-
Reset: Practicing Sabbath
We live in a world that rarely stops. Busyness is rewarded, exhaustion is normalized, and rest often feels like something we have to earn. In this opening message of our new series, Reset: Sacred Rhythms for a New Year, we explore the practice of Sabbath as God’s invitation to slow down and live...
-
Unexpected Advent: Light In The Darkness
Christmas reminds us that light does not wait for life to get easier before showing up, but enters real moments marked by long nights, heavy hearts, and questions that do not have quick answers. Many of us carry more into this season than we let on, and that is exactly where the story of Jesus...
-
Unexpected Advent: Interrupted, Invited, & Renewed By Hope
None of the people in the Christmas story were looking for disruption. Mary had plans. Joseph had expectations. The shepherds were just doing their jobs. Simeon and Anna had been waiting a long time. And yet God showed up right in the middle of ordinary life and changed everything. Those...
-
Unexpected Advent: When The Unexpected Happens To Us
Advent doesn’t arrive in perfect conditions. It shows up in the middle of real life. In our current series, Unexpected Advent, we’re leaning into a truth we often miss: Jesus doesn’t enter the version of life we post online. He steps into the version we actually live. Confusion. Fear. Fatigue....
-
Unexpected Advent: Embracing The Word Of God
Advent has a way of sneaking up on us. This week in our Unexpected Advent series, we’re sitting with one of the most stunning lines in Scripture: “The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.” If that’s true, then God doesn’t stay at a distance. He brushes up against our real...
-
Unexpected Advent: The Surprise Of His Arrival
Sometimes God shows up in the places we’d never think to look. The Christmas story isn’t polished or grand. It begins in a forgotten town, with ordinary people, in a manger that smelled like animals, announced to shepherds who didn’t hold any influence. Why start the story this way? Because God...
