Mosaic Lincoln

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 by throwing our hands up in equal parts awe, bliss and surrender. This is where the journey of faith begins.

Advent continues to come every year to a world that is constantly trying to assert a story of seeking value through significance and power and domination and control and success and comfort--and Advent brings a reminder that Jesus came as a plot twist and a disruption of that story to say, “You are valued and loved without ANY of that, and my Kingdom, the true Kingdom, is a Kingdom made of grace and peace and joy and self-emptying love. We wait. We anticipate. We receive. We participate.

Together, we're imagining how we might trust God to make our love increase more and more for one another and all of our neighbors. We're joining with this little, vulnerable, vibrant and ancient church in Thessalonica to believe that Jesus, through his death and resurrection, will guard our life's light from being determined by the great darkness around us. We're living to give ourselves to love of God and neighbor as we overflow with holiness, love and hope."May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones."  -1Thessalonians 3:12-13

This week Jeff Miller explores the book of Philemon from the perspective of Onesimus. The courage it took to go back to Philemon and read the letter Paul wrote. Will Philemon accept him as a brother or return Onesimus to work as a slave?

Many times we try to find God in the extraordinary when He is waiting for us in the ordinary. How can we experience God's presence through the simple pleasures of life?

Philemon is a fascinating book. At only 335 words it speaks volumes about grace, reconciliation, humility, and ultimately how to handle power.

How do we experience God in the everyday ordinary moments of conflict? Whether interpersonal or with structures and systems God's presence inspires us not to avoid but to step into difficult situations and conversations.

What if God can use us to shape the trajectory of someone's life through an ordinary conversation over coffee or a meal? That's what happened to our Associate Pastor Bill Radtke. He and Curt share the message this week and Bill has an announcement about something new God is doing in him and his family.
