Mosaic Boston • Jamaica Plain

“Do your job,” is the unofficial Boston credo. Out of the top 116 largest cities, Boston is the #7 hardest working city in the U.S. But you already know that… Today we'll learn about one of the most amazing yet ignored commands from God in the Scriptures. This week we look at what it means to reclaim the biblical vision for rest in a world of go.

The average American works 47 Hours a week, 2,444 a year, and 97,760 in a lifetime. Over a decade of our lives are spent at work. If those 47 hours a week don't matter in the grand scheme of eternity it's immensely depressing. We're all just wasting our lives. But if Jesus rose from the dead, it changes everything. Listen this week as we discover how our work hours can matter, not just for today but forever.

When it comes to God calling us, burning bush moments happen, but they are the vast minority. It would be nice if every time we had a big decision God found the nearest bush and lit it up to tell us, “Hey! Do this, go here, date this person, marry them, this major, that school…” But that’s just not how it works 99% of the time. We all want clarity from God on our purpose in life. So how can we know what we’re called to? How can we know the will of God? Listen in this week for clarity on discerning the will of God.

The Bible takes a whole different approach to work than we might expect. God is all-powerful and doesn’t need help running his creation, yet he desires to include people in on the joys of working. That's right, the joy of work. Humans were not made to be slaves, but partners in God’s human project.

In the first week of our new series, we’re going to look at reclaiming faith. We hone in on one character involved in the resurrection story: Thomas. Famously known as Doubting Thomas, he was actually more of a realist. He both counted the costs and was willing to pay them. Join us today as we watch a mane lose faith only to regain it.

This week we look at the most amazing sign Jesus performed. In John 11 Jesus robs his friend’s grave in the most amazing way possible: Resurrection. In the midst of all the hopelessness surrounding the situation, Jesus brought hope and life to those mourning, and he brings it to us 2000 years later.

In this week's sixth sign in John, there is a fact: A man born blind received sight. Yet, no one can agree on how he came to see. While the facts remain the same, the filter through which they see Jesus and his work changes. Today we ask the question, how is the filter you view Jesus by changing your perspective on him? Do you see him as he is, or have you skewed the Jesus of scripture?
