- STILL BE OUR VISION, O RULER OF ALL (WK 4): "A Kingdom of Restoration"| Mosaic Gathering Prayer: March 31, 2019
God of Love, we come before you as your children.
We acknowledge you as Creator and Sustainer of our lives.
Some of us feel great faith and life at work inside of us,
Some of us are hopeful skeptics underneath a weight of burdens,
Some of us are filled with all kinds of questions, doubt, and despair,Some of us are bruised reeds and smoldering wicks.
Your love envelopes us all.Your mercy pursues us.Your grace carries us.
And so we choose love, in all of this we choose love.
We turn to you in prayer.
For those in our state of Nebraska still recovering and rebuilding from flood loss
Lord, have mercy
For neighbors and those in this room experiencing difficult times of addiction, sadness, loneliness and despair
Lord, have mercy
For families that are experiencing broken relationships
Christ, have mercy
For those suffering under unjust systems of power and selfish hands
Christ, have mercy
For those twisted by envy, violence and hatred
God of Justice, intercede
For those cultivating a new way of hope, belonging, sustainability, and love
God of Peace, intercede
For us here at Mosaic and all communities of faith striving to be a light in the darkness
Holy Spirit, empower us
May we love those far off and those near.
May we love those who are strangers and those who are friends.
May we love those with whom we disagree and pray to understand that we are bound by something deeper than our beliefs.
We confess we have failed to love our neighbors in all the ways you have called us
Lord, have mercy.
We confess we have often built walls between ourselves and others rather than dismantle those walls
Lord, have mercy.
As we walk roads of darkness and inhabit spaces of loss in order to bring restoration
Lord, have mercy.
As we look to you for the forgiveness of sin
Gracious Lord, we receive life and rescue you have made possible to us through Jesus.
We pray these things as your children you love
We pray these things by the grace of God
With the love of the Son
And in the power of the Holy Spirit!
Amen.37 min - STILL BE OUR VISION, O RULER OF ALL (WK 3): "A God-Like Justice"
As hikers need a compass, and as travelers need a map and a goal, followers of Jesus need a clear vision of what Jesus' kind of society looks like when it is lived out.
In a cultural landscape that is part patriotism, part consumerism, part violence, part affluence and part vanity fair we believe Jesus is calling us to cultivate something very different.
Join us for our Sunday gatherings as we explore and seek to live this vision of Jesus together in our lives and neighborhoods.

33 min - UNFINISHED (WK 1): "An Exploration of Ordinary Acts of Self-Emptying Love"
We're taught that 'Good is the Enemy of Great', and that 'Great' is what we're supposed to be. But is it possible that obsession with greatness--being impressive, going viral, dropping the mic--prevents us from seeing opportunities around us to bring peace, joy, and goodness into the world around us? Can 'Great' be the Enemy of 'Good'?
41 min - INNER SKEPTIC SAINTS (WK 6): "The Mystery Unraveling all our Mysteries"
Welcome to humanity. We question. We doubt. We have uncertainties.
Some are ashamed of their doubts. Some are proud of their doubts. We’d rather be faithful with them.
Thankfully Jesus never asks us to give up our uncertainties to join the journey of discovery in following Him. Instead, the Divine welcomes our doubts and uncertainties because it makes us more human and honest. Ultimately, faith has little to do with certainty and more to do with a willingness to act faithfully despite uncertainty.
As we begin 2019, we invite you to join us at our Sunday gatherings by throwing our hands up in equal parts awe, bliss and surrender. This is where the journey of faith begins.
