Mosaic Church - Winter Garden

Pentecost

May 28, 2023 14:00 - 51 minutes

Our God is spreading the glory of His presence, our true Home, to the ends of the earth through His people, the Church, as they are empowered by the Holy Spirit. God invites all of His children, followers of Jesus, to joyfully, dependently, and actively join Him in His work of reaching the nations.

2 Peter 2:4

May 21, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes

The historical reminder of the justice God did not withhold toward the demonic angels when they rebelled against Him reveals that our God is able to keep His people safe as He will one day execute justice to protect His faithfulness, promises, and people.

2 Peter 2:1-3

May 14, 2023 14:00 - 41 minutes

Not all prophecy is God’s prophecy. In contrast with the reliable truth of Scripture revealed by God, false teachers will rise up with intentions of deception and manipulation among God’s people. Although God is patient with such teachers, there is coming a day when justice will prevail in their final destruction. In the meantime, by God’s grace, we have the truth of Scripture in order to discern false teaching, both around us and within us.

2 Peter 1:16-21

May 07, 2023 14:00 - 43 minutes

Believers today often long to have been with Jesus and to have seen what the first disciples saw. However, Peter actually tells us that what strengthens our faith is not ultimately what we see, but the word revealed by God through man as they were carried along by the Spirit! Let us then be diligent to “pay attention” to the lamp of God’s word until Jesus comes again to bring grace and justice to the earth!

2 Peter 1:12-15

April 30, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes

The common view of our culture is that the old is useless and the new is better. Yet, Peter is encouraging believers to be regularly reminded of the ‘Old Truths’ that our faith has been founded on. Why? Because we are prone to forget what we know! Therefore, as we gather together, let us learn to be intentional and consistent in our efforts to remind one another of the grace that stirs us up to love and good works.

2 Peter 1:3-11

April 23, 2023 14:00 - 47 minutes

Knowing that his death is imminent, Peter urgently reminds Christians that the virtuous life can only be sustained by worshipping in response to the grace we have received and continue to receive. Therefore, now that we have received all things for life and godliness, we are invited to deeply enjoy the glory of life in the Kingdom, remembering the incredible reality that we have been rescued from worldly corruption to become partakers of the divine nature!

2 Peter 1:1-2

April 16, 2023 14:00 - 43 minutes

Peter begins his last letter to the Church, all of whom are of equal standing before God with the apostles, to encourage us to open ourselves to more of the grace God multiplies to us. Believers can either close themselves off to the experience of grace multiplied or they can open themselves more fully to the God who is not merely the God of all grace, but the God of MORE grace.

New Creation

April 09, 2023 14:00 - 31 minutes

Why is Easter Sunday such a big deal? On this day, we remember and celebrate that Jesus ransomed people from every nation with His blood and has made us conquerors with Him in His victory over death. As Home comes with light and life to fill the earth, pushing out death and darkness, we will get to forever enjoy the glory of our risen Christ, the only one worthy to carry forth God’s plan to make all things new!

The Veil

April 07, 2023 14:00 - 58 minutes

Good Friday provides us the sobering opportunity to remind our prone-to-forget hearts the mind blowing reality of Christ crucified in our place. While we deserved death and eternal separation from God, yet our Savior became flesh to take our sin upon himself and tear the veil that previously kept us distant from where we belonged all along. Our true Home, God’s holy and loving presence, has come after us and near to us through Jesus. This is what makes Good Friday, so “Good”.

The Church

April 02, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour

After the manifest presence of God departs from the architectural temple, God promises of a better temple to come. This promised temple pictures a river flowing from it giving life to everything it touches. Today, God is faithfully bringing about this vision as those who come to Jesus are filled with the Spirit and now have “rivers of living water” flowing from their hearts. Mosaic celebrates its 20th anniversary as one of the many ways our faithful God has been bringing light and life into t...

Holy Spirit

March 26, 2023 14:00 - 40 minutes

As Jesus prepares to leave His disciples, He promises that the Spirit inside them will be better than Himself beside them. The Spirit coming is to our advantage because He has been sent to fill our hearts into order to push out the realm of hell and it’s power in our lives. Hell is evicted where God’s presence moves in. Knowing we have the indwelling of His presence and power, we can pray, “Spirit of God, transform the Hell out of my heart.”

Jesus

March 19, 2023 14:00 - 48 minutes

The inhabiting God in a building now becomes the incarnate God in a body. For hundreds of years, the temple served as a means of the glory and grace of God in the midst of sinful people. Now a new temple has arrived: receiving worship, fulfilling the law, and extending forgiveness. This new and greater temple is embodied in the person of Jesus, the lamb who was slain for us, to gather all kinds of people from all nations to receive the worship and glory due Him for all eternity.

Temple

March 12, 2023 14:00 - 46 minutes

After the Tabernacle, The Temple became the permanent structure where the presence of God dwelt with His people. Despite the staining power of humanity’s sin, the Temple showed God inviting His people into His presence of concentrated goodness by showing them how and providing the way for them to come close. Jesus is the spotless lamb of atonement whose life addressed our sin problem and made the presence of God a constant reality. His life and death on the cross provided the ransom for our l...

Tabernacle

March 05, 2023 14:00 - 37 minutes

The Tabernacle serves as a tangible representation of life with the God who dwells with His people. The layout and furniture of the Tabernacle were patterned after the realities of God’s merciful rule and reign over all of creation, His invitation to fellowship with Him through His provision, and the light and life that we have in Him now and forever. The story of the Tabernacle reminds us that despite our rebellion, God’s heart is to move in among us to redeem and restore us.

Eden

February 26, 2023 14:00 - 33 minutes

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth, overlapping one another in the beautiful life of the expandable garden of Eden. In this narrative, we glimpse God’s life-giving presence and his human image-bearers living in right relationship with one another. However, very quickly, the beauty in the garden shattered through our rebellion. And yet, God is clear that his plan is not undone, and in no way over. The garden points to the better end where Home comes for eternity, where the two real...

Ash Wednesday

February 22, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour

For centuries, the church has begun journeying toward Easter on Ash Wednesday with a call to repentance. The beauty of God’s merciful invitation to repent is that it is not only an invitation to turn from sin but a call to return to where you belong – to return home. The perplexing reality of grace is that throughout the unfolding story of the Bible, we see that the call to return home isn’t one-sided because Home has been coming for us all along. We are participating in a lenten season fast ...

1st Timothy 6:20-21

February 19, 2023 14:00 - 38 minutes

As we come to the close of Paul’s first letter to Timothy, we are reminded that the aim of everything we do as Christians is love, and are amazed that God has chosen us to be vessels of His love on the earth. We recognize our deep need for grace to accomplish this mission. Additionally, 1 Timothy reminds us of what matters as we fulfill this calling: love, truth, the Church, and our faithful perseverance in godliness, contentment, and generosity. As we live these things out, we are truly “gua...

1st Timothy 6:17-19

February 12, 2023 14:00 - 37 minutes

The God, who owns all and is the Giver of all, invites His people into the adventure of generosity. Those with an abundance of God-given resources are especially called to be rich in good works rather than setting their hope on what is passing away, sowing into gospel stories that endure into eternity.

1st Timothy 6:11-16

February 05, 2023 14:00 - 35 minutes

In Paul’s third poetic praise toward God in writing to Timothy, we get another glimpse of where the power to walk in godliness comes from. We walk in the fight of faith, fleeing gain in this world in order to pursue godliness, because we have been made outposts of God’s kingdom, both for the benefit of others and ultimately for the glory of our King Jesus. In essence, awe of Jesus empowers faithfulness to Jesus.

1st Timothy 6:2-10

January 29, 2023 14:00 - 45 minutes

We can discern false teaching when it conflicts with sound doctrine, the teachings of Jesus, and what accords with godliness, producing people who are depraved, deprived, and deceived. A common false teaching, both in Ephesus and in our culture, is that we can use the appearance of godliness to gain worldly things, such as money. But content, genuine godliness is gain in itself because of the incomparable worth of knowing and having King Jesus in this world and the next.

1st Timothy 6:1-2

January 22, 2023 14:00 - 42 minutes

In our varied roles and relationships, those in Christ have the incredible opportunity to both represent and participate in bringing the Kingdom of God. So whether people are over us in authority or under our authority, our aim is always love and to honor all people for the sake of the Gospel, rather than for our own selfish gain.

1st Timothy 5:17-25

January 15, 2023 14:00 - 55 minutes

In a culture that both idolizes and crushes its leaders, we in the Kingdom of God treat our leaders differently. Knowing that character holds more value than talent, we are not quick to elevate leaders to a platform based on talent alone. When established leaders lead well, we extend double honor. When a leader persists in unrepentant sin, we extend loving accountability. We do all of this trusting that God will bring everything unseen into the light, whether sin or good works.

Walking in the Dust of Our Rabbi

January 08, 2023 14:00 - 42 minutes

Being close to Jesus, our Rabbi-Teacher, means being covered in the dust of the path He walks. This path is marked by finding Him in the rhythm of the same few things. If He’s not eating or sleeping, you might find Him proclaiming and demonstrating the Gospel. You might find Him sitting fireside, teaching truth to those who would listen. Or you might not find Him at all as He disappears into the quiet with His Father. Jesus invites us to find rest in journeying with Him by His Spirit along th...

Let the Children Come

January 01, 2023 14:00 - 25 minutes

As we enter a new year with new goals and ambitions, we remember that Jesus always calls us to pursue the freedom of child-likeness in the way we express curiosity, simplicity, and wonder at the majesty of our God through the world He made.

Singing Loud for All to Hear

December 25, 2022 14:00 - 18 minutes

In this special installation of the Sent series, we’re reminded that Christmas Day presents a unique opportunity to enjoy the wonder of Jesus’ coming, sent to bring life where there is death, light where there is darkness, and freedom where there is bondage. We, who are awe-inspired recipients of this incredible work of God in Jesus, are compelled and sent into the world to “sing loud for all to hear” so everyone may know that the One who is good at what we needed most has come!

Weird in a Good Way

December 24, 2022 14:00 - 33 minutes

Before Christmas Day, we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Savior by remembering not only the events surrounding His birth, but also the fullness of who He is and why He came. Jesus, through His life, death, and resurrection, came to show us and make us the kind of weird this world needs most; a kind of weird that brings light, life, and freedom to all who believe!

A Little Too Good

December 18, 2022 14:00 - 51 minutes

In the second installation of our Elf-themed Christmas series, Sent, we centered around the “weirdness” of our Sent Savior, the One who is light that came into the darkness. We may have become so acquainted with the Christmas story that we have lost our wonder at the amazing absurdity of a Savior King, born in a stable. He who called those with influence to give everything up, and promised those with nothing everything. This Christmas we reflect with awe and gratitude on the beautiful absurdi...

He's Good at That

December 11, 2022 14:00 - 49 minutes

Our new Christmas series, Sent, will use the iconic movie, Elf, to illustrate the wonder of what God accomplished for us in Christ. We kicked off the series today by looking at the true need of our world: not to be removed from the naughty list or to have Christmas cheer, but ultimately to be rescued from the power of sin and death. When we had no hope, Jesus was sent to and for us! He is good at overcoming death because He is life, abolishing slavery because He is freedom, and casting out da...

1st Timothy 5:1-16

December 04, 2022 14:00 - 51 minutes

So as not to be tempted into pride after being instructed to “not let anyone look down on you because you are young,” Paul opens 1 Timothy 5 with a reminder for gentleness and humility when correcting others, whether they be younger or older. Paul reasons that we are all family in Christ and ought to treat one another as such. Then, in a passage that seems at first to be all about widow care, Paul gives practical guidance for leading and loving any who have true need within the family of God....

1st Timothy 4:11-16

November 27, 2022 14:00 - 43 minutes

Paul continues to emphasize to Timothy the non-negotiable value of sound teaching always being matched with mature character. Despite what culture thought in Ephesus or even today in America, mature character isn’t ultimately marked by age or talent, it is seen in immersing ourselves in the progress of becoming more like Jesus. As we become more like Jesus, stewarding our gifts to serve others, we get to have the unfathomable privilege of joining God in His work in the world.

1st Timothy 4:6-10

November 20, 2022 14:00 - 46 minutes

After Paul clarifies what Timothy is to confront in the false teachers, he then qualifies Timothy’s ability for such confrontation. Timothy was able to lovingly confront false teaching because he was trained in the sound teaching of the Spirit. If Timothy weren’t trained in truth, he would have confronted out of speculation and division. Therefore, through Paul’s writing, God’s invitation for all of us is to be a people trained and devoted to God’s truth because it is valuable for all times i...

1st Timothy 4:1-5

November 13, 2022 14:00 - 52 minutes

How did false teaching and destructive leadership get into the church in Ephesus in the first place? Some might have blamed the false teachers, but Paul brings us to the real source of false teaching. Any teaching, whether explicitly evil or seemingly good; but is opposed to the teaching of the Spirit of God is actually the teaching of demons! Therefore, Paul calls us to be a people who know God’s Word well in order to discern well and live well in God’s world.

Global Mission Sunday | 2022

November 06, 2022 14:00 - 48 minutes

Jesus is on mission right now in all of the world through his followers to redeem unredeemed spaces. Because Jesus has asked, invited, and empowered us to join Him, we individually and collectively invest our resources, not in temporary things, but in eternal stories of gospel influence.

1st Timothy 3:16

October 30, 2022 14:00 - 38 minutes

We love the Bible’s honesty – the way that Paul admits to the difficult ways that God’s commands often hit us. But he also calls us to consider this even greater mystery: Christ—the exalted-forever Creator, who lowered himself to human form, willingly humbling himself to the point of death. Consider how he came not to be served but to serve. What a glorious mystery indeed! If we truly follow King Jesus, aren’t we called to the same? If we follow him in his humility, can we not also hope to sh...

1st Timothy 3:1-13

October 23, 2022 14:00 - 59 minutes

After calling out false and destructive leadership, Paul calls up noble and beautiful leadership. Rather than seeking authority, power, and position in the church, leaders who follow the way of Jesus should see leadership as an opportunity to serve others.

1st Timothy 2:8-15

October 16, 2022 14:00 - 48 minutes

Continuing in the context of Paul writing to Timothy to correct false teachers in Ephesus, there is a further need for correction among those influenced by their false teaching. This included both men and women within the church at Ephesus. Both are called to lovingly seek the good of others, in a manner consistent with sound doctrine.

1st Timothy 2:1-7

October 09, 2022 14:00 - 35 minutes

If “the aim of our charge is love” (1 Timothy 1:5), then what does love as followers of Jesus look like? Who are we to love and how are we to love them? What about people who have hurt us? Paul shows us that loving others is to go as far and wide as the love of God, which is for all people. God invites us to lovingly pray for our enemies, for rulers, and for all people, not only to work in their lives, but also in us, that God may shape our hearts to reflect his own.

1st Timothy 1:17

October 02, 2022 14:00 - 43 minutes

Previously, we reflected with Paul on the meaning of the gospel; now we pause, and worship God for the beauty of a gospel that never gets old. In 1st Timothy 1:17, Paul pauses in his letter to Timothy, and exalts God in poetic praise. In this we are reminded that the glorious realities of the gospel are not information that we move coldly past. Rather, the gospel is eternal power (Rom. 1:16) that calls for daily remembrance, which fuels worship, no matter our circumstance.

1st Timothy 1:8-16

September 25, 2022 14:00 - 52 minutes

Paul brings further clarity and correction to the false teachers in Ephesus, who had wrongly taught the purpose of the law and our relationship with it. Paul reveals that rather than make us perfect, the law reveals our imperfection, and reveals God as the only righteous one. It is only through Jesus that the law empowers us for healthy, right living rather than bondage. Paul uses his own life as an example of how Jesus is able to save even the “chief of sinners,” while the law would always b...

1st Timothy 1:3-7; 18-20

September 18, 2022 14:00 - 52 minutes

As Paul begins to instruct Timothy to faithfully deal with the issues caused by the false teachers in the church at Ephesus, we are reminded of our need for faithfulness to truth and sound doctrine, while recognizing that this truth must be rooted in love of God and love of neighbor.

1st Timothy 1:5

September 11, 2022 14:00 - 46 minutes

Before Paul begins to unpack the intricacies of how Timothy is to faithfully deal with the issues caused by the false teachers in the church at Ephesus he reminds his dear friend and child in the faith of the foundational goal for which the church was established by God. The people of God were created and gathered to love God and love people. And this love Paul focuses in on is the love Jesus demonstrated: self-sacrificially giving ourselves for the good of the other.

1st Timothy 1:1-2

September 04, 2022 14:00 - 47 minutes

We are so excited to begin our journey through the book of 1st Timothy. This is an extremely significant book for our unique time in history but before we get too far, we must understand how this letter fits into the grand story of Scripture. Without context, we are far less likely to grasp the wonders of what God has actually revealed to us in His Word. Join us in the adventure of discovering the context and purpose of this beautiful letter.

Grateful Hearts

August 28, 2022 14:00 - 27 minutes

Three months ago we began a series called Revive Us. This series was unique in that it was not simply a series of sermons, but a collective prayer that we sought to pray together. We desperately need God to do what only he can do! As we conclude this series, our prayer continues, but with one more ingredient, gratitude. We have so much to be grateful for, to rejoice in. So as we move on from this series, we don’t move on from the desire for God to revive us and the gratitude for what he has d...

Spiritual Rhythms

August 27, 2022 14:00

For this final message in our Revive Us series, we take time to draw near to the feet of Jesus through a few spiritual rhythms meant to focus our minds and hearts on Jesus.

Equipped for the Journey

August 21, 2022 14:00 - 47 minutes

When Jesus invites us to come to him he tells us that his yoke is easy and his burden is light, yet so much of this life feels hard and heavy. So how do we actually live in this world and not be crushed by the weight of it all? This week, we see that when Jesus ascended to heaven he didn’t leave us on our own to figure it all out, but in fact, he left us fully equipped for the journey.

A Family Pilgrimage

August 20, 2022 14:00

God’s desire for His people is they would live united as a family, yet we live isolated and hurt by one another. Let’s discover together how Jesus desires to restore us into His forever family to live and love one another in a way that delights our Father’s heart and displays the Gospel to the world around us.

Life Worth Living

August 14, 2022 14:00 - 39 minutes

Society today tells us that we each have a life that is meant to be lived our own way, with our own truth. Jesus teaches something very different, He says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” Walking the way of Jesus, believing the truth of Jesus, produces a life that looks like Jesus. That is the good life. That is a life that endures every storm. That is a life worth living.

United at the Feet of Jesus

August 13, 2022 14:00

The journey with Jesus was never meant to be a lone wolf adventure, but in an individualistic culture, this is exactly where our hearts naturally bend. In this message, we look into Jesus’ prayer for His Church for unity and oneness and discover how we can live in this reality together as a Biblical Community.

The Shema

August 07, 2022 14:00 - 38 minutes

When we find ourselves upside down, flying through the air in the midst of an accident, it is too late to put on a seatbelt. Life is similar in that we encounter circumstances we didn’t see coming and if we’re not prepared, if we’re just coasting without a seatbelt, we will end up far worse off than we could have. For centuries, the Shema has been for the people of God a tool of remembering and realigning themselves to the way of God. When we hear and obey this beautiful command, we will be p...

The Voice of God

August 06, 2022 14:00

If we are called to listen and obey God’s voice, then the next question to wrestle with is, how do we know that we are truly hearing His voice in the first place? In this message, we will journey into the scriptures to discover four of the primary ways in which we can confidently hear His voice.
