Who told you that you were naked?

Many of us find ourselves in the place where the voice of God is silent, because it’s lost in the noise of our soul.

How do we find our own unique voice? The art we were made to create in the world. As humans we imagine a future that doesn’t exist yet. What do you want to see happen in your life and what risk do you need to take this week to turn your imagination... into an image.

In week 2 of our Artisan Soul series we explore how each and every human is created to be an Artist at Work. That we can imagine a future that is yet to exist, and be used by God to create beauty in the world.

"The great divide is not between those who are artists and those who are not, but between those who understand that they are creative and those who have become convinced that they are not.” -Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul

"The great divide is not between those who are artists and those who are not, but between those who understand that they are creative and those who have become convinced that they are not.” -Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul

The Artisan Soul series is based off a book written by Erwin McManus. Erwin is founder and Pastor of Mosaic in Los Angeles and has inspired our Mosaic community here in Lincoln, NE. Erwin's leadership in the realm of faith and creativity is starting a movement in the church to see that every human is created by God to create. That faith and creativity are allies rather than adversaries and every human is a work of art, and an artist at work. That God is the source of all beauty, wonder, and artistry.

"The great divide is not between those who are artists and those who are not, but between those who understand that they are creative and those who have become convinced that they are not.” -Erwin Raphael McManus, The Artisan Soul

If you ask five people on the street what a Christian is, you may very well get five different answers. What exactly is a Christian? Why do Christians often look so different from one another? Why are there Christians on both sides of just about every issue? Why are there so many differing thoughts and denominations? What exactly is a Christian and why can't anyone seem to agree one what is? The answer might surprise you. Special thanks to Jim Putman and Andy Stanley for their contribution to this message.

There is a tension to Jesus' life and ministry that many have tried to resolve. In one moment he could be relentless in extending compassion to one person and then be equally relentless in speaking hard truths to someone else in the next. So was Jesus primarily concerned with extending grace OR with speaking truth? Was he tender OR unyielding? The answer might surprise you.

Jesus' contemporaries understood something we do: dead people don't come back alive. So how then do we explain what happened on the other side of the cross? How do we explain the rise of Christianity? This Easter we suggest an answer to the million dollar question.

Since 1987, the number of people diagnosed with mental illness has tripled. Each year Americans spend over $10 billion on antidepressants alone.

Special thanks to Sammy Rhodes, Joan Evanson, John Mark Comer and David Murray for their contributions to this series, along with all of the other sources cited audibly in each message.
