Joy
December 12, 2021 14:00 - 56 minutesIt’s joy week in our journey through Advent. How do we find and experience joy in the midst of the variety of circumstances we face in this life? Is joy only to be experienced in fleeting moments here on earth, or perhaps the joy that Jesus gives will only be realized in heaven someday? Could joy be our experience every single day, and if so, how?
Hope
December 05, 2021 14:00 - 53 minutesAs we enter into the Advent season, we recognize that Christmas isn’t only about experiencing hope, joy, peace & love, but it’s about Jesus, the light of the world- he is our hope, joy, peace, and love! This week we begin with recognizing that hope is experienced in Jesus for this life and for the life to come!
Global Mission Gathering
November 28, 2021 14:00 - 33 minutesJesus said that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Going with Jesus on Mission looks like stepping into hard spaces and being redemptive with Him. We desire to be a church that actively launches people into living on a Mission with Jesus to make the gospel known and actively redeem unredeemed spaces by making disciples among their neighbors, the marginalized, and the nations.
Philippians 1:27-30
November 21, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutesAs Paul turns his attention from his situation to the lives of the Philippian church, he invites them to live as citizens of the kingdom of heaven, by standing firm together living worthy of the gospel, engaging in whatever struggle they may face.
Philippians 1:18-26
November 14, 2021 14:00 - 34 minutesAs Paul describes the tension between his desire to stay and live on mission, or go and be with Christ, he draws our attention to the beautiful reality of the treasure that is Christ. With Christ as our treasure, Paul is calling us to live light of that, so that those who have our lives in view will have reason to glory in Christ.
Philippians 1:12-18
November 07, 2021 14:00 - 51 minutesWhat can God do through our lives when we recognize that God is able to use our circumstances, difficult and beautiful, for the advancement of his kingdom in and through our lives? This is the question that Philippians answers, and the question that Paul answers in this passage.
Always Reforming
October 31, 2021 14:00 - 33 minutesOn Reformation Day we consider one of the slogans of the Protestant Reformation, “Semper Reformanda” which means that the Church is always being reformed according to the Word of God. And in order for us to be reformed as a people, we need to be reformed as individuals. As the Potter works with the clay, our God is working to reshape our lives that we might be conformed to the image of Christ, as we submit our lives to Him.
Journey to the High Places
October 24, 2021 14:00 - 1 hourRenaut walks us through part of his Sabbatical journey and shares a glimpse of what God has revealed to him about growing to become more like Jesus. Throughout the journey of this life, God our good shepherd leads and guides us, using the most difficult spaces for our good so that we may become like Him.
Philippians 1:9-11
October 17, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutesAs Paul prays for the Philippians, he asks not only for provision from God, but that God would transform them so that they may bear the fruit of righteousness. As we pray for ourselves and for one another, we are challenged to pray not simply for our circumstances to improve, but for our character to grow in the midst of our circumstances.
Philippians 1:3-8
October 10, 2021 14:00 - 48 minutesContinuing on in Philippians, this introductory encouragement and prayer from Paul allows us to see his deep affection for this church in Gospel Partnership. For Paul this is not a side note, but instead forming Gospel Partnerships was a vital component to the life and ministry of Paul, and a type of partnership that we can learn much from for our lives today.
Philippians 1:1-2
October 03, 2021 14:00 - 44 minutesAs we enter into the book of Philippians, contained within the greeting from Paul is an encouragement to live in light of the grace and peace that comes from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon | Part 2
September 26, 2021 14:00 - 52 minutesBecause of the transformational power of the Gospel, Paul boldly invites Philemon to receive Onesimus back into his household no longer as a bondservant, but instead as a brother. Though Onesimus had wronged Philemon before becoming a believer, he could now be restored to the family of God through the reconciliation that can only be found through Christ.
Philemon | Part 1
September 19, 2021 14:00 - 39 minutesAs we begin our exploration of Philemon, we place ourselves in Philemon’s seat as the letter from Paul is being read in the church. In this letter we recognize that if the gospel has transformed us in our hearts, it will unfold to transform the nature of relationships within our community. This gospel transformation gives us the freedom and responsibility to forgive those who wrong us, and to treat other Christ-followers not as the world treats others, but as brothers and sisters in Christ.
I See You
September 12, 2021 14:00 - 1 hourIn Renaut’s first sermon back from Sabbatical, he shares what God has shown him during this season through the ministry of Jesus in the gospels. Whenever people meet Jesus, he does not simply meet the physical needs of the people he encounters. Instead, he sees them in the midst of their need. And so it is with us, whatever we may be going through, whatever darkness may still be in us, he sees us and he is for us.
Christian Practice
September 05, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutesIn our final week of discipleship at Mosaic, we take a look at the importance of implementing Christian practices in our lives that will move us towards godliness as we grow to know God and make him known.
Christian Belief
August 29, 2021 14:00 - 30 minutesThis week we continue our discipleship series with a look at the importance of embracing Christian Belief, and how our view of God affects everything about us. Scripture calls us to stand firm and hold fast to the truth revealed about who God is through his word, so that we may know God and make him known.
Biblical Story
August 22, 2021 14:00 - 42 minutesDiscipleship is the lifelong journey of knowing God and making Him known by embracing the biblical story, Christian belief, and Christian practice in community. This week we journey into the beauty of discovering how the grand story of the Bible points us to Jesus and informs our path as we follow in his way.
King
August 15, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutesIn the final week of the “Jesus True and Better” series, we look at the office of king. While given power and authority, the kings of Israel fell woefully short of their call to lead, steward, and protect the people of God. Christ, however, came as a suffering servant and established his kingdom of enduring love through the cross. And one day, this King of kings will return to rule and reign with justice and righteousness, bringing eternal life to his people.
Prophet
August 08, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutesIn looking at the Old Testament office of prophet, we see them, again and again, going before the people of Israel on behalf of God. Jesus, as the true and better prophet, invites us to join him in his mission of declaring the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Priest
August 01, 2021 14:00 - 39 minutesIn the Old Testament, the role of the priests and the setting of the tabernacle were the centerpieces of all worship, sacrifice, and atonement for the people of God. Through his ultimate sacrifice, though, Jesus put an end to this by atoning for our sins once and for all. He came near and made his home in us with the fulfilled promise of salvation and freedom through belief in him.
Esther
July 25, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutesIn the story of Esther, we see glimmers of Jesus. Both came “for such a time as this” to usher in God’s victory for His people. Though the book of Esther never directly mentions God, it reminds us that He desires for His people to trust His timing and that He alone is fully good and sovereign, working all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
Deborah
July 18, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutesThe book of Judges is a strange period in the Old Testament. During this time, Israel falls into a repeating cycle of disobedience, discipline, and deliverance, where God repeatedly uses judges to free Israel from its oppressors. Deborah stands out as one of the noblest of these deliverers. She is a faithful follower who trusts in God’s plan despite the doubts of those around her. In her story, we see hints at the coming of Jesus—the true and better judge, who remained faithful in his obedien...
Moses
July 11, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutesThis week we look at the massive story of Moses, seeing glimmers of Christ shine clear throughout it. Moses was faithful as a servant, yet Jesus is faithful over God’s house as a Son, and we are God’s house if we hold fast to our hope and confidence in him.
Isaac
July 04, 2021 14:00 - 47 minutesIn this message, we look at the Old Testament’s strange and challenging story of when God asks Abraham to sacrifice his promised son. In it, we see the primary question of the entire narrative of the Bible embodied in Isaac’s question to his father, Abraham: “Where is the lamb?” The answer resounds throughout eternity when John the Baptist declares upon seeing Jesus, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Jesus is the true and better Isaac, who not only ca...
Adam
June 27, 2021 14:00 - 45 minutesTo begin this series, we enter the story of the first human. Adam, who failed to obey God in the garden of Eden, corrupted God’s good creation and led humanity into sin. Yet Christ, the Second Adam, came into creation in perfect obedience to God, and by his death on the cross brings humanity back to God through faith in Him.
Colossians 4:18
June 20, 2021 14:00 - 34 minutesWe know it as the book of Colossians, but the church of Colossae knew it as a letter from a beloved friend and co-laborer in Christ. To close our series on it, we revisit highlights from all four chapters corresponding them with four distinct movements of collective prayer—inviting God to move us by Paul’s words and encouragement, same as the church of Colossae.
Colossians 4:7-17
June 13, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutesAs the book of Colossians comes to a close, we see the tangible results of followers living out the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20) as Paul unveils a list of faithful disciples known in the early church community. These committed men and women have rallied together to spend their lives making the gospel known by declaring the supremacy of Jesus. That trajectory has continued through generations of people serving Christ faithfully in a similar manner. And now, it is our turn.
Come To Me (Emerging Gen Sunday)
June 06, 2021 14:00 - 45 minutesIn Luke 18:15-17, as a gentle friend and teacher, he reorients the hearts of his disciples and realigns them with God’s value system, showing them how God feels about the emerging generation. For God, children and teenagers are not problems to be fixed or potential to be tapped, but people to be valued and loved right where they’re at as members of God’s Kingdom and plans. And this is His heart for us all—to trust in Him with childlike faith and not in our own abilities and agendas.
Live in Harmony With One Another
June 06, 2021 14:00This Sunday, we revisit our reoccurring One Another series, lingering on Romans 12. In this passage, Paul encourages all followers of Jesus to live peaceably with each other, summarized in the powerful line, “Let love be genuine.” It is love—first displayed in Christ—that allows for the humility, hospitality, patience, and sacrifice that culminates into unity.
Colossians 4:5-6
May 30, 2021 14:00 - 35 minutesPaul encourages followers of Jesus to live and speak in a manner that will invite others to Christ. In this, he challenges us to live a life honoring to God and gracious towards others in such a way that it stirs people to ask us questions and makes the most of every opportunity to share the gospel.
Colossians 4:2-4
May 23, 2021 14:00 - 42 minutesPrayer is an invitation to communicate with God. Let that settle. Yet, we often misunderstand, ignore, and deny the power that it has to interact with our lives. Scripture calls us to engage in it, trusting God that through prayer, we commune with Him, battle the enemy, and find ourselves enveloped in the mystery and authority of Christ.
Colossians 3:18 - 4:1
May 16, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutesThe gospel calls us to entrust ourselves to Christ, freely submitting ourselves to others through service driven by love. In this portion of Colossians, Paul notes how this profoundly affects how we approach marriage, parenting, family, and work—recognizing that we all ultimately share one Master in heaven.
Colossians 3:16-17
May 09, 2021 14:00 - 52 minutesBecause of our new identity as God’s chosen ones—hidden with Christ in God—we have a new nature and purpose. Both individually and collectively, we exist to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. One day, in glory, that will be our full reality and that of all creation! In the meantime, the great invitation before us is to live in such a way that the church of “not yet” looks like the church of “already.”
Colossians 3:12-15
May 02, 2021 14:00 - 36 minutesIn having put off our old selves (3:5-11), Paul points us to the new nature to clothe ourselves in daily: Christ’s. If we live in our identity as chosen, holy, and beloved because of Him (and not our own striving), we are moved to behave in a strange new way, full of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience; overcome by peace and filled with gratitude.
Colossians 3:5-11
April 25, 2021 14:00 - 52 minutesHaving rallied us to set our minds on Christ, Paul writes that we must wage war against our sin as it leads to death—a hollow existence. The gospel of our culture is to follow all of our impulses to reach our personal idea of happiness. But the gospel of Jesus is that when we deny ourselves and submit to him, we step into life beyond measure and a kingdom greater than ourselves.
Colossians 3:1-4
April 18, 2021 14:00 - 32 minutesThis week we stare into the incredible wonder of our abiding security in Christ. Through faith in Jesus, He is in us, we are in Him, and we are hidden with Christ in God. Our hope and future are fixed, knowing that when Christ—our life—appears, we will appear with him in glory!
Colossians 2:16-23
April 11, 2021 14:00 - 35 minutesThe question of Colossians, which sparked the very writing of the letter, is whether or not Jesus is enough with many misbelieving, “No, you must make up the difference.” Yet Paul has proclaimed that Christ is all in all. And this is the basis for his direction to not look to other things for our sufficiency. In this passage, we learn that we cannot trust in our own spiritual achievement, focusing on ourselves. Instead, we should consider and focus on Jesus. He is Supreme. And he is enough.
Colossians 2:13-15
April 04, 2021 14:00 - 34 minutesOn Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection as we gaze upon the wonder of Christ’s victory over sin and death. In Colossians, Paul declares that because of Christ’s work on the cross, through faith in him, our debt of sin is paid in full, and death is no longer our story. And because of Jesus’ victory, every evil power has been defeated in him, and will ultimately be destroyed. Because He lives in victory, we who know Jesus will live victoriously with Him forever!
Colossians 2:8-12
March 28, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutesPaul encourages us to not allow our faith in Christ to become pillaged by the philosophies of this world. How do we do that? We must see Jesus for who he is—the Everlasting God of all creation who humbly put on flesh for our salvation.
Colossians 2:4-8
March 21, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutesAs we continue forward in the book of Colossians, Paul teaches us that to avoid deception; we must remain rooted, firm, and built up in Christ. This happens by recognizing that salvation is not simply a past experience with a future benefit but the working of Christ in us each day.
Colossians 1:29 - 2:3
March 14, 2021 14:00 - 47 minutesIn modern Christian culture, the tendency is to treat salvation as a transaction where we believe in the gospel, are saved, and then conclude that our work is done. In these verses, Paul urges us to not stop there but continue growing and maturing as we journey towards sanctification. This maturity will unite us in Christ, binding us together, and making the manifold wisdom of God known.
Colossians 1:24-28
March 07, 2021 14:00 - 48 minutesIn this passage, Paul highlights that the suffering he is going through is a source of joy simply because it is for the church’s sake and the continuous illumination of the gospel to the world. We also get to participate in this high stakes labor of love and eternity, finding every opportunity to reveal the mystery of the gospel wherever we go.
Colossians 1:21-23
February 28, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutesOur bent was once against God. Full of fear and hostility, we inflicted death upon ourselves, others, and creation. With this in view, Jesus not only has rescued us from alienation and brings us into belonging to the Kingdom of life and light, but he changes us. In His faithfulness, He fashions us steadfast and faithful out of fickleness if we anchor ourselves in the hope of the gospel.
Colossians 1:18-20
February 21, 2021 14:00 - 38 minutesColossians 1:15-20, known as the Christ Hymn or The Messiah Poem, is a stunning view of the singularly unique power of the almighty God and Creator wrapped in the fragile mantle of a crucified man. Today, as we look at the latter half of this hymn in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, we are reminded that Jesus, that man, was God in full. And it is only His ransom of us through a depth of sacrifice we can’t comprehend that has brought and continues to bring us near to Him.
Colossians 1:15-17
February 14, 2021 14:00 - 45 minutesIn the dailiness of life, we can lose the clarity of just who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of light. In this small but beautifully powerful portion of his letter to the church of Colossae, Paul brings that into luminous view. Our rescuer is Jesus, the full embodiment of God the Father, who is beyond our imagination. He is the King of all creation and, to His glory, He knows our name.
Colossians 1:13-14
February 07, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutesOur spiritual story without knowing Christ is bleak, yet because of Christ’s work we have been invited into a new story, where we live not in darkness but in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. As the nation of Israel was brought out of captivity in Egypt, so God brings us out of captivity from sin and into life and freedom in Him.
Justice & Mercy Weekend
January 31, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutesMay we never neglect God’s command to care for the vulnerable in response to His care for us. This calling is wrapped up in Christ’s invitation to redeem unredeemed spaces in the world in which we live. When we step into foster care, adoption, efforts of poverty alleviation, or the work of ending human trafficking, we answer God’s invitation to bring the gospel to the brutality of the world in beautiful, tangible ways.
Colossians 1:9-12
January 24, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutesPaul’s prayer for the church in Colossae is a reminder of our calling to love one another by praying for each other. Rather than praying simply for one another’s circumstances, he models praying that we would know God’s will since He has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints, living in the glorious light of Christ.
Colossians 1:3-8
January 17, 2021 14:00 - 36 minutesAs Paul continues opening his letter to the Colossians, he thanks God for the faith, hope, and love they have for God and one another. In this Sunday’s message, we pause and ask: How can we have this kind of love for God and others? A kind of love that inspires thanksgiving… We do so by being rooted and established in the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Colossians 1:1-2
January 10, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutesAs we begin our journey into the book of Colossians, we encounter all of the people involved in bringing this letter to the church in Colossae. Thanksgiving fills the pages of this letter from Paul to the Colossians, as it demonstrates the timeless and timely truth of who Jesus is, the supreme and sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords, in whom we can put our trust—not only for eternity but for today.
