From the very beginning, God’s intention for humanity was not lack but fullness.In this message from our In the Beginning series, we return to Genesis to rediscover the life we were created for. Scripture gives us a vision of Eden not merely as paradise, but as perfect communion with God — a place where humanity knew their Creator and walked in His presence. When sin entered the story, it was not only disobedience, it was settling for less and trying to find God’s promises in the wrong places.This teaching reminds us why we often feel empty even when we try to cover our lives with success, comfort, or control. Yet throughout Scripture, God continually makes a way back — restoring vision, renewing identity, and inviting us to know Him personally. We were never meant to fill ourselves; we were meant to be filled by Him.You were not created to settle for less.You were created for more.And when we bring Him our lack, He meets us with His fullness.📖 Scripture: Genesis 1–12, Ephesians 1🧭 Topics: Identity, Fullness, Vision, Restoration🗓️ Part of the In the Beginning series at Mosaic Church➡️ To take a next step or get connected, visit https://welcometomosaic.info

From the very beginning, God’s intention for humanity was not shame but wholeness.In this message from our In the Beginning series, we return to Genesis to rediscover the life we were made for. Scripture gives us a vision of a world where humanity lived in delight with God — fully known, fully loved, and unashamed. Genesis 3 then reveals what went wrong: sin is not just breaking rules, it is breaking trust and trying to live life apart from God.This teaching reminds us why life often feels harder than it should and points us back to hope. Though delight was disrupted, God has not moved away from us. Through gratitude, grace, and a longing for restoration, we are invited to return to trust, healing, and the wholeness only He provides.You were not created to hide from God.You were created to walk with Him.And in returning to Him, life becomes whole again.📖 Scripture: Genesis 1–3🧭 Topics: Wholeness, Trust, Identity, Grace🗓️ Part of the In the Beginning series at Mosaic Church➡️ To take a next step or get connected, visit https://welcometomosaic.info

From the very beginning, God’s intention for humanity was not striving but rest.In this message from our In the Beginning series, we return to the opening pages of Scripture to rediscover what it truly means to be human. Before sin, before achievement, before responsibility, God invites humanity into something foundational: life with Him. Genesis reveals a God who completes creation not with more work, but with rest, declaring the world whole, full, and more than enough.This teaching challenges the story our culture tells us that our worth is found in productivity, independence, or performance. Instead, we see that our first calling as humans is not what we do for God, but how we live with God and with one another in His world. We were created to rest with Him, to trust Him, and to receive grace before we ever earn it.Through the rhythms of creation, the pattern of Sabbath, and the life of Jesus Himself, we are reminded that rest is not an escape. It is an act of trust. It is the place where identity is restored, grace is received, and humanity is made whole again.This message invites us to ask deeper questions woven into the fabric of creation.What are we living fromWhere do we find our worthWhat does it look like to live fully human in God’s presenceYou were not created to hustle for God. You were created to be with Him. And in that withness, life begins again.📖 Scripture: Genesis 1 and 2, Acts 17🧭 Topics: Rest, Grace, Vocation, Identity, Sabbath, Trust🗓️ Part of the In the Beginning series at Mosaic Church➡️ To take a next step or get connected, visit https://welcometomosaic.info

God formed us from dust, and filled us with His breath.In this message, we explore Genesis 2, where the creation story slows down and zooms in—not just on what God made, but how He made us. We see a God who shapes with care, breathes with purpose, and invites us to live fully alive in His presence.Our world tells us freedom means doing whatever we want. But this passage reminds us that freedom isn’t found in independence—it’s found in intimacy with our Creator. We were made to live within God’s design, not outside of it.Zach invites us to consider what it means to be human: not random or accidental, but intentionally created to bear God’s image and carry His Spirit. Genesis 2 shows us a world where God speaks, and life responds. Where beauty isn’t hidden—but often missed in the rush. And where our true identity is found not in performance, but in proximity to God.We reflect on questions woven into the heart of creation:• What kind of world are we living in?• What’s our place in it?• And what does it mean to be fully human?You are not just made from the earth—you are animated by the breath of God. That truth reframes everything.📖 Scripture: Genesis 2, Psalm 19, Ephesians 1🧭 Topics: Identity • Purpose • Wholeness • Creation • Freedom🗓️ Part of our In the Beginning series at Mosaic Church➡️ To take a next step or get connected, visit: https://welcometomosaic.info

This message is an invitation to rediscover freedom—by living in harmony with God’s original design for the world.In a culture that equates freedom with autonomy and celebrates self-definition, Genesis 2 offers a different vision—one rooted in purpose, boundaries, and beauty. Pastor David reminds us that true freedom doesn’t come from rejecting God’s design, but from aligning with it.In this message, we see that creation is not random space we occupy, but God’s kingdom—ordered, intentional, and alive with both spiritual and material realities. We were made to walk with God, to live with purpose, and to thrive within the boundaries He created for our flourishing.This message explores three foundational questions from Genesis 2:• What is the world?• How does the world work?• What is the world made of?It also revisits the four anchor truths introduced in Genesis 1:• God is the Source• God is Good• God is Worthy of Worship• God Can Be KnownYou were made to belong—to walk in God’s presence, live with His purpose, and be shaped by His Spirit.📖 Scripture: Genesis 2, Psalm 19, Ephesians 1🧭 Topics: Freedom • Design • Identity • Creation • Worship🗓️ Recorded at Mosaic Church as part of our In the Beginning series

This message is a powerful invitation to return to the source—to see your life through the lens of the story God has been telling since the beginning.From competing cultural narratives to watered-down identities, we’re surrounded by stories that shrink our imagination. But in Genesis, we discover a better one. Pastor David reminds us that our lives aren’t defined by our past, abilities, or circumstances—but by the power and character of the God who made us.This message walks through Genesis 1 and invites us to anchor our lives in four core truths:• God is the Source• God is Good• God is Worthy of Worship• God Can Be KnownYou weren’t made to drift. You were made to belong—to know God, reflect His image, and live a story rooted in meaning, beauty, and truth.📖 Scripture: Genesis 1, 1 Corinthians 2, Isaiah 64🧭 Topics: Identity • Meaning • Worship • Creation • Formation🗓️ Recorded at Mosaic Church as part of our In the Beginning series

This message is a timely invitation to embrace the kind of rest our souls were made for—rest that isn’t earned, delayed, or conditional, but freely given by Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 11, Pastor David explores how true rest doesn’t begin with a vacation or a calendar block—it begins with coming to Jesus.As we step into a new year, we’re often pulled into patterns of performance, productivity, and pressure—whether from religion, culture, or even our own expectations. But Jesus offers us something radically different: rest from striving, rest from self-reliance, and rest that restores our identity in Him.This message unpacks the rhythms of grace that help us live fully present, fully known, and fully free—not burned out by the weight of the world, but anchored in the love of God.The new year doesn’t need a new you. It needs the real you—resting in the grace of Jesus.This message invites us to trade exhaustion for intimacy, and striving for surrender:• A rest from religion—where we stop performing for God and start living with Him• A rest from culture—where we no longer chase success, image, or approval• A rhythm of daily, weekly, and regular rest—shaped by prayer, presence, and Sabbath• A community of rest—where we are fully known, fully loved, and not alone📖 Scripture: Matthew 11:28–30🕊️ Topics: Rest • Identity • Sabbath • Spiritual Rhythms • Freedom in Christ🗓️ Recorded during Mosaic’s post-Christmas message for the new year➡️ For next steps or to connect with us, visit: https://welcometomosaic.info

This message is a powerful, honest invitation to rediscover the kind of love we were made for—a love deeper than sentiment, stronger than clichés, and more healing than anything the world offers. Through humor, truth-telling, and Scripture, Pastor David calls us to behold real love—not just feel it.From lock bridges in Paris to Hallmark movies and AI chatbots, we’re surrounded by shallow imitations of love. But the Advent story reveals something entirely different. In Jesus, love doesn’t wait for us to be compatible, convenient, or clean—it comes all the way for us, costs everything, and welcomes us home.This message reminds us that we don’t become full through consumption, compatibility, or control—we become full when we behold the love of Christ. Advent isn’t just about what happened. It’s about the kind of God who came for us.This message explores the kind of love we long for—and finally find in Jesus:• A love that costs—not convenience, but sacrifice• A love that heals—redeeming and restoring us into God’s family• A love that comes close—through the incarnation, God became like us• A love that fills us—not with sentiment, but with the fullness of GodLove has come. And it’s not flimsy, transactional, or distant. It’s flesh-and-blood, cross-shaped, and still breaking into our lives today.📖 Scripture: Isaiah 54, Galatians 4, Ephesians 3, John 3, Romans 5🕊️ Topics: Advent • Love • Belonging • Identity • Redemption • Incarnation🗓️ Recorded during our “A Weary World Rejoices" series at Mosaic Church➡️ For next steps or to connect with us, visit: https://welcometomosaic.info

This message is a beautiful, Spirit-led reminder that joy doesn’t wait for things to be tidy. Through Scripture, story, and raw honesty, Pastor David and Tina invite us to see that the miracle of Jesus’ birth—and the miracles in our own lives—don’t show up after the mess. They come right in the middle of it.In Mary’s unplanned pregnancy, in the shepherds’ fear, in the brokenness of a weary world—God arrives. And He’s still arriving. This message helps us see joy not as a feeling we manufacture, but as the fruit of staying close to Jesus—especially when life feels hardest.With crocus flowers blooming before the spring rains, and tear-streaked prayers met with mercy, we’re reminded that God is not waiting on us to clean things up. He’s already working—right here, right now.This message explores joy that’s possible in the tension of Advent:• Joy through holding the hand of the Helper• Joy through beholding beauty in the broken• Joy through confidence in God’s promises• Joy through rest in His sufficiencyThe joy we’re aching for is not found in perfect peace—but in a perfect Savior.Jesus is here.

This message is a rich, Spirit-filled invitation to experience the peace of Christmas—Jesus, the Prince of Peace who meets us not in calm circumstances, but in the chaos of real life.

It’s found in the presence of Christ.This message explores peace that’s possible now through Advent’s tension:• Relational peace through forgiveness• Circumstantial peace through obedience• Redemptive peace through missionPeace isn’t out there somewhere.
