Mosaic Knox - Sermons & Messages

Sermon from Sunday, September 29, 2024 | Hospitality | Welcome of God: Hospitality is a fundamental practice in following Jesus, but before we begin to explore the in's and out's of this way of life, we are first invited to the table ourselves, where Jesus is the host welcoming us in.

Stand-Alone Sermon from September 15, 2024 | The First Two Questions God Asks | When it comes to being human, our natural instinct is to hide, namely out of fear and self-preservation. And that isn’t wrong; we just end up hiding in the wrong place. So, where can we hide where we experience the safety and the healing we long for?

Sermon from September 1, 2024 | Philippians 3 | Body | Do our bodies matter? That's the question we look at this week. What does it mean for us that God not only created bodies, but took on a body? To fully step into our faith, we have to fully embrace that we are embodied creatures. For more information about Mosaic, visit us online at www.mosaicknox.org

Sermon from August 18, 2024 | Philippians 3 | Mission | Whether chained in Rome, or living in a neighborhood in the South, the invitation is to live as holy contradictions. What posture must we take toward our culture to live in such a way that heaven is brought to life in us, for the sake of others?

Sermon Excerpt: "The world is both full of darkness and light; beauty and brokenness. Some of you have looked that brokenness in the eye this week. To have one foot in this world, and one foot in the other, means that I am not going to bypass the significant and serious pain that this world offers so frequently and unashamedly. Grieve it. There is no life without grief. 

And to have one foot in this world and one foot in the other means that I’m not afraid to die here, because I am a citizen of another kingdom; but maybe – just as importantly – I’m also not afraid to live here. To live life, fully, to the tilt, being present in moments with my kids, waking up an hour earlier to pray, taking risks I would have never taken, enjoying the life I have rather than the life I want, because God is not in the life I want, but the life I have. Jesus is not offering us a nice place to go when we’ve stopped breathing; he’s offering to be the
new breath in our lungs to make us come fully alive."

Sermon from August 4, 2024 | Philippians 3 | Imitation | When we start following Jesus, our initial response is typically inspiration that leads to excitement. This is the power of God at work in our lives. But, what does it mean when the infatuation stage wears off? Is there something even more dynamic than the power of God? This week we look into Paul's invitation to imitate God, not merely encounter Him. For more information about Mosaic, visit us online at www.mosaicknox.org

Sermon from July 21, 2024 | Philippians 3 | Power | Our entire faith is centered around Holy Week. But the events of Holy Week are not merely one-time events, but the framework for we live everyday. For more information about Mosaic, visit us online at www.mosaicknox.org

Sermon from July 7, 2024 | Philippians 3 | Joy | Cynicism captures the spirit of our age; and there's much in the world to be cynical about. But what if our current circumstances are not what defines our posture? What if instead we were anchored in something altogether different, something like defiant joy?

Sermon from Sunday, June 16, 2024  | That You May Live: The Fire Burning Within | We round out our Ten Commandment series with the offense that is always there, but hard to detect -- the ever-present desire. What desires do we have that we are aware of; and how might we live a life that moves toward a life of contentment?

Sermon from Sunday, June 2, 2024 | That You May Live: The Blessing and Cursing of Words | The previous three commandments were fairly simple and straightforward. But why does this commandment actually involve our neighbor? And of all the ways to image Jesus, the most personal and intimate way might be refraining from speaking.

Sermon from Sunday, May 19, 2024 | Most of us don't steal from people, in the stereotypical sense. But what if the way of Jesus goes beyond robbing banks and embezzling money? Jesus calls us to much more than keeping our criminal history clean, and many of us may be more familiar with theft than we think.
