The resurrection isn’t just something that happened to Jesus — it’s for us, too. In this Easter sermon from Romans 6:1–11, Pastor Greg unpacks how union with Christ means that his death and his resurrection are both applied to everyone who trusts in him. If you’ve ever wondered why the resurrection matters for your everyday life, this message is for you. He is risen indeed — and so are we.

Do you know the Jesus whose resurrection you celebrate? In this Palm Sunday sermon, we walk through Luke's account of the triumphal entry and find a Jesus who is sovereign, worthy of all worship, and compassionate enough to weep over those who would kill him. If any of those are missing from your picture of Jesus, something needs to change.

The commandment to love is as old as Scripture itself — and yet, for those who have been transformed by the gospel, it is brand new. In this passage, John reminds us that love is not just a rule to follow but a reality that God has made true in us. After testing our assurance with the sharp contrast of light and darkness, John pauses to remind every believer of what they already possess: forgiveness, knowledge of the Father, and victory over the evil one. The call is simple but profound — stop striving to become something and start living as who you already are: people of love, saved by grace, and confident in Christ.

John calls believers to take sin seriously while resting in the sure hope that Jesus Christ the righteous is our Advocate and the propitiation for our sins. He then gives a clear test of assurance: those who truly know and abide in Christ will keep his commandments and increasingly walk as he walked. This passage invites honest self-examination—not to crush the struggling saint, but to lead weary sinners back to real grace that forgives, transforms, and bears fruit in worshipful obedience.

Worship is more than a song—it’s a life bowed before God. In this message from Micah 6:6-8, we consider what true worship looks like beyond Sunday morning, as God calls His people to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. Rooted in the finished work of Christ, believers are invited to live every day with hearts surrendered in faithful obedience.

What does it look like to live an honest life before God? In this passage, the apostle John paints a vivid picture of two ways of living — one marked by fellowship, confession, and the cleansing blood of Jesus, and another marked by denial, self-deception, and distance from God. The good news is that God is faithful and just to forgive, and the blood of Christ doesn't just cover us once but continues to cleanse us as we walk with him. Join us as we zoom in on John's masterful contrast between light and darkness and ask the question: which one describes your life?

John opens his letter with a bold claim: he heard, saw, and touched the eternal God in the flesh. But he didn't write just to inform — he wrote to invite his readers into a fellowship that's held together by something far stronger than shared interests or opinions. In this kickoff to our 1 John series, we explore why the gospel is about a person and not a system, why real love means getting to the gospel, and how a holy discontentment for the growth of God's kingdom reorders everything else in our lives.

God calls elders to shepherd the church with willing, eager, Christlike care—leading by example, feeding the saints with the Word, and protecting the flock from error under the watch of the Chief Shepherd. From the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3 to the warnings of Acts 20, this sermon clarifies that spiritual authority is exercised as humble service, not domination. As Mosaic considers new elders, the church is invited to pray, to value mature godly character, and to grow in stability through sound doctrine and faithful shepherding.

Because Jesus has opened a new and living way by His blood and serves as our great High Priest, believers can draw near to God with bold confidence and full assurance of faith. On the strength of God’s proven faithfulness, the church is called to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. And as the Day draws near, we must not neglect meeting together, but actively stir one another up to love, good works, and real ministry through encouragement and prayer.

As we wait for the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells, Peter calls believers to be found in Christ diligent in holiness and marked by peace. The Lord’s patience is not slowness but salvation, so we must not be carried away by twisted teaching but steadied by the Scriptures. By growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, we are prepared for eternity and live now for his glory.
