×As the people of God, we have found ourselves living as exiles in a strange land. A land of death, darkness, and destruction. But Hebrews 11 reminds us that we live today by faith—seeking the City that God has prepared for us—an eternal city, an eternal home found in the presence of God.
Abraham obeyed God’s call to leave his home, trusting in a future inheritance he couldn’t see. Sarah, despite her age, received the power to conceive, considering God faithful to His promise. Their stories remind us that faith is a present action response to God’s calling, supported by community and nourished by past evidence. Even in times of difficulty or waiting, we’re encouraged to cling to our hope in Jesus, knowing that God remains faithful and uses our trials to produce steadfastness and character in us.…
We are counted righteous and commended for belief in Christ alone, but that belief is always revealed in action. The examples of Abel, Enoch, and Noah show us that faith involves trusting in God’s character and promises, even when circumstances seem challenging or illogical. Such faith in God’s goodness and promises provide us the freedom to live in obedience.…
Faith is not just about one’s own strength to cling to Jesus but about trusting in the strength of Jesus to hold believers secure. The author to the Hebrews encourages them and us to cling to Jesus amidst persecution, who will never fail them, rather than relying on their own ability.
Here at Mosaic in 2025, we want to be a people who embody our values— all under the aim of seeing “one more life” reached and transformed by the gospel. Just as Desmond Doss courageously saved “just one more” soldier, we step forward in faith, believing a long obedience in the same direction can make eternal change. Like climbing Kilimanjaro, our journey requires perseverance, but we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to take each small step. This year, we trust God to work through us as we live on mission, one step and one life at a time.…
The Scriptures provide us the choice between a wide, easy path leading to death and a narrow, difficult path leading to life. In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, we can walk the journey of the well-worn narrow path by engaging in rhythms of intimacy like solitude, prayer, and studying scripture in community to cultivate a deeper relationship with God, leading to the abundant life filled with joy, peace, and purpose.…
As we start the new year, we’re diving into the question: “Who do you want to be?” This two-part series explores how our daily choices shape our identity and how Jesus calls us to the narrow path that leads to life. From Genesis to the Sermon on the Mount, we’ll see how God invites us to walk in the good works He’s prepared for us, living as His beloved workmanship.…
Amid the hustle of the season, Christmas invites us to refocus on the miracle at its heart: God dwelling with us in Jesus. In this message, we look through the lens of Charlie Brown as he discovers the true meaning of Christmas, reminding us that the simplicity of Christ’s birth is the ultimate answer to our deepest longings for hope, peace, and belonging.…
Christmas is a time of longing for connection, yet many of us feel the tension of isolation amidst the season’s joy. In this message, we journey through Scripture and Arthur Christmas to uncover how the Gospel invites us into the ultimate family gathering—where we are fully known, deeply loved, and truly belong in the Father’s family.…
This week’s message explores how Jesus redefines contentment by shifting our focus from unattainable ideals to gratitude for God’s abundant provision. Drawing parallels from “It’s a Wonderful Life” and Paul’s reflections, it challenges us to embrace a Christ-centered perspective that enables true contentment, even amid life’s difficulties, and encourages living with hope and purpose in the present.…
This week’s message, based on Hebrews 6:19 and John 8:12, reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world and our steadfast anchor of hope, offering a firm foundation in a weary and uncertain world. Through the lens of A Christmas Carol, we explore how His transformative hope calls us out of darkness and into the light of life, bringing renewal and joy this Advent season.…
We step into the story of “The Miracle on 34th Street” and consider how our Father has in mind The Best Gift Ever, beyond anything we could ask for or imagine!
As we follow Jesus, we have great hope in our sufferings, knowing that God, our faithful and abiding possession, will keep us faithful to endure even as we waver in faith and joy and that we may receive the promise of what’s to come.
In this passage, the author of Hebrews speaks to two groups of people. First, he soberly warns those who have rejected Christ and His sacrifice completely. He then reminds the followers of Jesus that God is faithful to love, forgive, and sanctify His people. He does this, that both groups would draw near to Jesus, and be sure that Christ’s death was enough to cleanse all sin.…
To conclude all that has been said, the author of Hebrews reminds us that Christ’s return is coming! Therefore, the author calls us to be a people who faithfully draw near to God, hold fast to Jesus, and continuously consider how to provoke one another towards increasing love and good deeds!
Jesus is the eternal high priest and the fulfillment of the new covenant. The new covenant, as described in Jeremiah 31, promises God’s law written on hearts and the forgiveness of sins, empowering believers to follow God with confidence. Believers are made perfect by Jesus’ finished work and are enabled by the Holy Spirit to choose righteousness as He ensures their eternal safety and freedom.…
The author of Hebrews reminds us that God found no pleasure in the sacrifices of the Old Covenant, for these were merely a shadow that pointed to Christ’s final and sufficient sacrifice on the cross. May we then, as the people of God, learn to rest in the glorious truth that Christ has taken away sins “once for all.”…
Elections, politics, and government… these words doesn’t usually lead us to feelings of joy. And yet, for those of us who follow Jesus every aspect of our lives, including our views toward politics is meant to be shaped by Him. In this message we process four insightful questions for Christians to ask before they vote.…
The author of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus’ death on the cross put away our sins “once and for all.” What a reminder this is—that followers of Jesus can trust that our sin has been removed forever! We may work to remind ourselves of this truth more and more as the day of Christ’s return draws near.
Jesus, as the high priest and mediator of a new covenant, has secured the will of an eternal inheritance for believers through His death and resurrection. As inheritors of Jesus’ will, we have been given all because we have been given Him and His kingdom. We are already recipients of this inheritance, no matter our circumstances, and therefore, always have reason for hope.…
The author of Hebrews reminds us that our forgiveness, redemption, and future resurrection has been purchased by the blood of Christ and Christ alone. This reality pushes us to continually choose life! Not out of obligation, but in great joy—knowing that our conscience has been cleared—that we may serve the living God.…
The author to the Hebrews contrasts the old covenant with the new, helping us see that Jesus offers a better promise and covenant through the gospel. Through Jesus and Him alone, rather than old covenant rituals or our own performance, we can confidently access the presence of God now and forever.
The New Covenant, established and obtained by Jesus, is superior to the Old Covenant because of its unconditional nature and the inside-out, transforming power of the Spirit. Followers of Jesus may find themselves in a dangerous chapter, but are always in a safe story because of the eternal covenant of Christ.…
As the people of God in a new and better covenant, the authors of Hebrews remind us of the glorious truth that we have a high priest in Jesus. One who sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven and who daily intercedes, prays, and ministers on our behalf.
To be immersed in the way of Jesus is to be ‘all in’ on the teachings of Jesus. “It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us.” Christ declared it is impossible to serve both God and money. We then, as followers of Christ, have the opportunity to shove back the gates of hell not only by how we live, speak, and walk–but by how we spend. ‘For where our treasure is, there will our hearts be also.’…
The Bible is clear, eternity is much longer than we can imagine and much more real than the reality we currently experience. Because of this, The New Testament calls us to live our lives on earth in light of the eternal life and inheritance that awaits us. Every follower of Jesus must take the time to consider how they may steward their relationships, resources, and circumstances for the glory of God and the good of His people.…

It is an assumption of Scripture that when we come to know Jesus, our entire life would be immersed in Him and His way. Why? ‘Because it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us, and the life we now live, we live by faith.’ Life then, is not a place we are in, it is not a place we are going. Life is found within the King and Creator of life–Jesus!…
How is Jesus the only one able to remove complete condemnation from those who trust in Him? The Hebrews author lifts up Jesus as the only perfect High Priest who lives forever, intercedes for us always, and gave Himself to atone for our sins. Jesus’ person and work is completely sufficient to save his followers without any boundary or limit.…
All of us are building our hope on something, whether on the sand or the rock. We build our hope on sand when we trust in our circumstances to hold us up. But when we build our hope on Jesus, we find ourselves on a rock that is able endure any storm that inevitably comes our way.
God encourages us through the prophet Jeremiah to call out to God, for He “will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” May we be a people who seek to know, love, and share the Word of God–recognizing that these very words are the key to life, light, and freedom for the people of God.…
This sermon delves into the beauty of Hebrews 7:11-17, exploring the theme “The Power of an Indestructible Life.” We address the inherent tension in human striving, which often falls short, and reveal the central truth that Jesus’ resurrection provides the Priest King we desperately need.
It’s easy to forget all that our good and generous God has given us. We can be tempted to believe we are owners rather than stewards. When we think we own our “stuff”, it can actually start to own us. Just as Abraham was moved to respond to Melchizedek’s greatness with generosity, how much more should we, as followers of Jesus, respond to His greatness with open-handed generosity?…
True peace comes from knowing God’s abundant generosity toward us in Christ so that we can live in right relationship with God and others.
In this message, we explore a biblical framework of how people can come to experience Jesus and how we can live our lives in alignment with that belief. This framework is vital for us as we live as people who are Daringly Missional, so be encouraged because we were created to partner with God in His work!…
What does it mean to be daringly missional? Does it mean turning every moment and every person into an assignment? In this message, we look at the heart of a missional people and discover how we live in light of who we are.
As a church, daringly missional is not just a series of things to do but a reality that we live in. In this first of a brief mini-series, we focus at the level of identity what it means to be daringly missional.
Can we trust the promises of God? This is a question and doubt that has plagued humanity from the beginning of the Bible and in this passage the author brings us a teaching that meets us where we are at and beckons us to process that question through a deeper understanding of Jesus, discovering in Him is God’s promises on display.…
On the heels of a weighty passage on God’s justice the author brings us to our ultimate security found in Jesus as well as the epic call to serve as his apprentice in every aspect of life.
Today we see deconstruction journeys, disillusionment with the church, and a desire to blend Jesus with other faith traditions into something more palatable. All of these do not lead us to life, but unknowingly toward death… this is the assertion of Hebrews in this powerful passage. Through it we do not only receive a dire warning but an important reminder to recognize the difference between what brings life vs death.…
This message focuses on a reality for many who follow Jesus, the challenges of complacency. We discover in this passage a biblical understanding of God’s vision for his people to grow in maturity in a way that wakes us up and draws us near.
In our modern culture riddled with anxiety and chaos there is a great desire to feel understood and protected. Yet none of the options our world provides has the power to fulfill that completely. In this message we discover how in Jesus we have access to the one who we all long for and can fulfill our greatest needs.…

In this special Local Mission Sunday message, we invited a local nonprofit that ministers to international Disney employees to share what it looks like to be daringly missional toward WDW Cast Members by building bridges of love.
Sabbath rest is God’s invitation to His people to live into the freeing rhythm of working hard and resting well. Ultimately, Jesus is our true and better rest who is able to meet our weary hearts as we draw near to Him together in community.
Our triune God gets all the glory in the salvation of His children. The Father is the adopter of His kids. Jesus is the author and finisher of their faith. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee and seal of those who believe the word of the gospel. Believers can rest in the assurance that they are perfectly loved and kept by the faithfulness of God, rather than their own faithfulness.…
Jesus is continually drawing us closer. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Instead, allow His spirit to kindly convict and guide you back as you look to His never-ending faithfulness. He is worthy of our trust. Beholding His past and His future, enables us to hold on to our original confidence firm to the end, and encourage others to do the same.…
As holy siblings and citizens of heaven, our calling is to fixate the attention of our hearts on Jesus as the one greater and more glorious than anyone else, including Moses. Such consideration of Jesus fuels trusting Him no matter the cost.
This Easter Sunday we remember the profound significance of why Jesus came to die and rise from the dead foreshadowed in the story of Lazarus. Namely, that Jesus’ death and resurrection overcame sin and death for those who trust in Him by faith. Our death, darkness, and bondage is defeated by Jesus’ life, light, and freedom. Hallelujah!…
Why do we come back to the cross every year? We come to remember Jesus’ willing sacrifice that washed us clean with his blood, and to anticipate the empty tomb that changed everything.
Journey with us into a special one-off message where we explore the spiritual discipline of prayer, utilizing a method that dates back through the ages. Utilizing the prayer of examine, we get the opportunity to press into understanding God’s presence in all of life as we review our days. This message explores the prayer of examine by using Psalm 139 as our basis.…
As followers of Jesus, we have lifelong freedom because God, being just and merciful, took on human form and paid the debt we owed for our sins. The death of Christ has overcome the fear of death in every way, and now death serves to refine our faith and lead us to a heavenly glory this passing world cannot fathom.…
During times where it is difficult to trust God with our pain, we can look to Jesus, our true older brother, who willfully took on the suffering of humanity to be the Messiah who would redeem us into the family of God.

We are on a collective mission as the body of Christ to be ambassadors of Jesus. Anyone we encounter should experience what it was like to encounter Him.

As we pursue why we exist and where we’re going as Mosaic Church, it is helpful for us to consider our code of conduct – our values. Values are defining marks of our identity that lead to our activity. Our first three values are the following: We follow Jesus. We are one. We are gospel-centered. As those who are followers of Jesus, we are united in Jesus and view all of life through the lens of who Jesus is and what He accomplished for us.…
To belong to King Jesus is to participate in His mission with Him. The mission of Jesus, through the church He is building, is to bring His kingdom and push back the gates of darkness until the territories of darkness are no more. As the commissioned church, it is necessary for us to gather up and brief ourselves on the vision and values through which we will accomplish our mission. “We” is a series for us as Mosaic Church to lay out our values; our identity and code of conduct by which we will realize what Jesus has called us to do.…
Jesus, the embodiment of true greatness, is worth our heart’s full attention because He is the suffering servant who condescended from glory to dwell among us and bear the death that we deserved for our sin. Having fully paid our debt with His blood, He is now risen and reigns over all things forever.…
Followers of Jesus must pay much closer attention to the reliable word of Christ delivered to us through the apostles. Our good Father provides this loving warning to keep us from drifting into things most dangerous for our soul. We pay attention and keep from drifting by having the word of God richly dwell in us, gather regularly with community, and daily walk by the Spirit.…
Jesus is greater than all messengers before Him, including angels. In contrast to the angels, Jesus is the heir of David, God incarnate, and Messiah, who is to be worshipped by all creation. When we see Him for who He truly is, we turn from worshipping God’s created gifts to worshiping the infinitely greater one, the only one worthy, Jesus Christ.…
Is it truly worth it to follow Jesus even in the dangers and heaviness of life? When we realize that Jesus is completely sufficient for us because of His supreme authority over everything, we have a solid foundation to remain faithful. As those who are always sustained in the safety of the God-man, Jesus Christ, through His authoritative Word, we will always have reason to look at Him and declare, “That’s my King!”…
An anonymous author with an incredible handle of the totality of Scripture and a direct relationship with Jesus’ first followers writes to Jewish Christians experiencing difficult persecution for their faith. The author begins to hold up Jesus as worthy of our perseverance because He is greater than the angels and Torah, Moses and the promised land, the priests and Melchizedek, the sacrifices, and the old covenant. Jesus is worth our all because He is greater than all!…
Our God is on the move and this year as a church we’re going to intentionally join Him in His redemptive work in the world. We’ll do this by staying close to Him, offering Him our weakness, trusting that His Spirit will equip us through church leadership to be faithful witnesses of the power of the gospel. Our first step together is to simply come before God daily and say, “I’m here. What can I do?”…
What is God’s plan for His church in the world? According to His word, the Church is to be a force that shoves back the gates of hell, a sermon that declares the wisdom of God to the cosmos, a family that relates to one another as brothers and sisters, a temple that represents God’s tangible presence, and a bride that loves and is loved deeply by God. We live out these various facets in our gathering and scattering as we seek to demonstrate and declare the gospel together.…
In this final message of our advent series we celebrate the arrival of Jesus as we consider how God calls us to respond to His presence in our lives.
In this third week of Advent, we look at how God reveals Himself to be faithful and true by using even the most unlikely of people to lead to the eventual birth of Jesus.
In this second week of Advent, we discover the patriarchs of Jesus’ family line give us a window into a God who reveals Himself to be faithful and true, glorified even through human weakness.
In this first week of Advent, we look into the family story of Jesus, a genealogy that demonstrates a God who is faithful and true even when we cannot see Him or fully understand what he has been doing all along.
As Jude calls us to contend for the faith while extending mercy to false teachers, we must do so with our gaze fixed upon the One who is able! Our God is able to preserve us until the end and present us blameless before His glory with all joy. He is worthy of our contending, our everything because to Him belongs all glory, majesty, power, dominion, and authority forever!…
Jude calls believers to posture themselves to continually experience the love of God through building themselves up in the faith, praying in the Spirit, and waiting for Jesus to return and make all things new. As we experience His love and mercy, we get to extend His mercy to all people, even those most opposed to the gospel.…
Jude shifts from engaging with the false teachers who have crept into the church to now engage with the Lord’s beloved people. Believers are called to contend first and foremost by vigilantly guarding their hearts in the remembering of God’s word. We guard ourselves knowing that we battle in a spiritual war that has already been decisively won in the victory of the risen Christ!…
Jude uses another culturally respected, extra-biblical source, 1 Enoch, to further remind his readers of the coming justice of the Lord toward the false teachers who have crept in. One of the main fruits of the false teacher’s lives is discontentment. As believers, if we’re not careful with who we allow to influence our lives, we can likewise be tempted toward discontentment that breeds destruction. We can grow in contentment as we allow the Word of God to be our primary influence through biblical meditation.…
False teaching has been around since the beginning of time as Jude brilliantly shows with multiple Old Testament references. With them, we are reminded that when God and His Word are not the ultimate authority the inevitable end is utter destruction and gloom. No false gospel has a chance when believers have clarity of the true gospel. Abiding with the Holy Spirit regularly as we study Scripture in the context of community enables us to bring and release the real lion who needs no defense.…

In this message, Cru missionary, Lindley O’Brien, shares about God’s heart for the nations and our calling to participate with our Rabbi in bringing His good news to the world!
As Jude uses Old Testament realities to remind the church of the inevitable end of false teaching, whether bondage or wrath, he exposes how these teachers crept in. Forgetfulness of the gospel provides a way for false teaching to creep into our midst. In the end, it is better to pay the price of remembering than to pay the price of forgetting.…
Jude calls us to contend for the faith delivered to believers because false teaching so easily creeps into the church unnoticed. This teaching spreads ungodliness and a denial of the authority of King Jesus. And yet, while Jude’s audience has failed in guarding the gospel, he contends for their faith by reminding them of their true identity. We need to know who we are in the gospel as we contend for it.…
Jude greets his audience as mutual recipients of the grace of God. Jude, Jesus’ own half brother, formerly rejected Jesus. But now, by God’s grace, acknowledges Jesus as his Lord and King! Likewise, his audience having failed in contending for the gospel, are addressed by their identity in the gospel: called, beloved, and kept. Jude desires that everything he writes, though corrective, would work to multiply mercy, peace, and love among them.…
Not only do we get to be recipients and participants in the gospel, but we also we get to be partakers of the fruit and joy of the gospel! This participating and partaking is showing up amidst the local gathering of the church, serving with our gifts, sharing our resources, living on mission as we scatter, and praying for one another. When we participate in such ways, we make up the local expression of Jesus’ church, which then makes up the cosmic expression of Jesus’ church.…
All of us who are recipients of the gospel are called to participate in the gospel with our presence, time, gifting, and resources.
