Forsake all to love Jesus above all

A disciple is an apprentice of Jesus Christ who has seen the worth of knowing Jesus and has decided to pick up their cross to align their life with Him. Paul uses the mindset of an athlete to illustrate what it means to follow Jesus. In order to enter into life alignment with Jesus, we need to pay the price, embody the purpose and see the prize. Mosaic's vision is to be a community who reject the passivity of just getting heaven but suffer the loss of all things to experience the power of the Resurrection in this life here and now. Mosaic refuses to be a community satisfied with church attendance and cognition of the gospel but suffers to obtain the full power of knowing Jesus.

Peter prescribes a household code for the church. This code is what we owe to one another as a people who have been marked with mercy. Once we were not a people, but now we are a people. What defines us as a people then? We are to have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. This kind of community is catalyzed by the mercy of Jesus and in turn shapes us as we lean into it. Mosaic seeks to be a church that embraces the sinner, loves the sufferer and commits to one another.

We have to participate in God's call to reach those who don't know him because He has beautifully hidden them for them to be found. The only way they will be found is if his people go looking for them.

Paul writes to the Corinthians that in whichever situation you are in when you are saved, you are to be fully faithful in the circumstance God has placed you in. In the first century, singleness wasn't very prevalent for a religious person and therefore some felt restlessness and anxiety in their unmarried condition. In the gospel, no circumstance is a position of lacking for the believer. In Christ, we are to be fully present and faithful in the situation we are in. This sermon calls singles to undivided devotion to the Lord and hope in the gospel rather than a change in status.

In our context, busyness is one of the most prevalent thieves of the Christian home. In this sermon we will first examine how busyness takes the wheel of our family when we intended God to direct our homes. We then learn to number our days and see how godly habits can realign our homes towards God once more. The Ten Commandments gives us a rule of life for forming our families. Let us reclaim our families by committing ourselves unto the Lord again daily!

Live as a child of God and pass on the gifts I have received as an inheritance to my children.

We begin our family sermon series looking at Joseph's family story. Family is both beautiful and broken at the same time. We begin by looking at God's design and intention for family. Family was designed to be our first Jesus community. In this community we were to ground ourselves in God's Word, intimately commit to one another and experience the joy of having all things in common. Sin came broke God's design for family. We see the brokenness of family in Joseph's family story. Joseph had a deeply flawed family who scarred him and wounded him. Despite this, God does not allow Joseph to move forward without redemption for his family. In seeing God's fatherhood and care, Joseph is able to not only forgive his family but move towards them with redemption.
