Mosaic Lincoln

In the book of Luke we find 4 songs surrounding the birth of Jesus. These first Christmas songs were meant to clear a space in the lives of the people singing them as they prepared for the birth of Jesus. For us these songs do the same. They clear out the clutter, and give room to reflect on our Kings arrival 2000 years ago, and anticipate his arrival to come once again. In Mary's song we see how her own social status points to a greater upheaval to come. Through her son God will bring down rulers from their throne and exalt the poor and the humble. He is going to turn the whole world order upside down.

David's roller coaster wilderness experience continues as he becomes king and his son Absalom wars against him. In the midst of all this David pens a Psalm of gratitude. How in the midst of so much conflict was David able to continue to live a life of gratitude?

As Mosaic steps out of the wilderness we look to the biblical story of David found in 1 and 2 Samuel. What can we learn about David's life, his wilderness journey, and his destiny to be king as we step into this next chapter of our story.

As we wrap up our rhythms series we ask the question, "Who are we inviting into living out these rhythms with?"

In Jan 2018 Mosaic has made the decision to move our Sunday Gathering to Lincoln High School. This message was for our community to hear our journey towards that decision and why Lincoln High.

How do we move from simply believing in Jesus to following Him? God is calling us to live an adventurous faith in the everyday rhythms of our lives. These rhythms change everything! These rhythms don't make our life busier... they make our life more intentional and more sacred. Today we jump into the beautiful rhythm of EAT. So much of the life of Jesus' ministry is around a table. Who are we sharing our table with?

How do we balance faith on top of everything else we need to do? We're convinced there is a better way. Rather than thinking about living a life of faith in adding things you need to do, God is calling us to live an adventurous faith in the everyday rhythms of our lives. These rhythms change everything! These rhythms don't make our life busier... they make our life more intentional and more sacred. Today we jump into the beautiful rhythm of LISTENING.

Who is Mosaic? What do we care about? What makes our heart skip a beat? Here and Now... As we come to the end of our transition season we took a whole Sunday to talk through who we want to be as a church community.

The final week of our Parables series is wrapped up with Jesus' parable explaining why he tells parables. That parables aren't meant to get us to fully understand, they are meant to get us to listen and be curious. How well are you listening? What soil is your soul?

When asked to do a sign, a miracle for the Pharisee's to prove himself, Jesus declared that the only sign they would be given was the sign of Jonah. Why did Jesus refuse to do a sign immediately and why did he choose the sign of Jonah? What does this have to say about the way we live today?

Who is your Samaritan? Who is the person you are walking past? "The first question that the priest asked, the first question that the Levite asked was, ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ But then the Good Samaritan came by, and he reversed the question: ‘If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'”- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Open your eyes!! Who are you stepping over that you need to see, and in what area of your life do you need to allow others to see you. www.mosaiclincoln.com

Jeff Miller teaches us what forgviness looks like in the Kingdom. Special thanks to Karrisa Bettendorf for sharing part of her spiritual journey towards forgiveness.

Why did Jesus tell stories? This week we talk about the power of the stories we tell ourselves. That stories have the power to define us. Many times our stories of success and failure define us. Jesus is giving us a different story to live by. A story where we don't have to allow our success or our failure define who we are or our future.

What do we need to do in order to get God to bless us? It's a question that whether we want to admit it or not we ask all the time. How can I do good things so that I get good things... but is this the way Jesus Kingdom is run?
