Mosaic Church - Winter Garden

Followers of Jesus are not of those who have to stand far off from God in fear and insecurity, attempting to make ourselves right with God through the law. But rather, we have come to Mt. Zion, the kingdom and presence of God, with full assurance and freedom through the finished work of Jesus alone.

As followers of Christ, God has already redeemed and secured us. So we should strive for peace with everyone and pursue holiness rather than allowing any division of bitterness to take root or trading the enjoyment of our spiritual inheritance for momentary gratification.

What we see in Hebrews 12:3-11 is a beautiful picture of a loving Savior drawing near to us in our suffering and a good Father giving us meaning and purpose as he uses that suffering to affirm our status as sons and daughters and shape us more and more into the magnificent character of Jesus.

As a people of faith, we are surrounded by a great crowd of faith-examples that have gone before us. In light of this, we consider and throw off the weights and sins that hinder us from living on mission today. And as we do this, we set our gaze on Jesus—the object of, the starter of, and the finisher of our faith! To Him be the glory forever and ever!

This Easter we not only celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead, but also that we have the miraculous opportunity as those who trust in Him to be brought from spiritual death to eternal life. Jesus did this for us by absorbing the destructive virus of sin, bearing its full consequences in our place so that our death would become His and His life would become ours in resurrection power!

This Good Friday, we remember and respond to the truth that Jesus’ death is our life. Jesus willingly took the punishment of sin upon Himself, offering forgiveness and eternal life, with the ultimate goal of reconciling those who trust in Him to God.

Jesus has made us alive through His gospel, calling us not only to believe but to live by faith. As a church, we stand at a pivotal moment—united, committed, and sent to reflect His glory. Rooted in the truth of the gospel, we boldly step forward as medics in a broken world, living out our faith through extravagant hospitality, fearless generosity, and daring mission!

This forum, as a part of the One More Life series, is one way of equipping the church for evangelism as we follow in the example of Jesus, the ultimate missionary. Renaut, Brady and Joel begin with talking on what our motivation should be as we share the good news of Jesus with people we encounter. They continue with outlining how to take conversations from good conversations, to God conversation to gospel conversations and other resources that can be used as we prayerfully seek the Lord to save one more.

Jesus brought us good news of the salvation of His Kingdom through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection. Not only has He brought salvation to those who trust Him, but He also sends us as His ambassadors, living on daring mission to push back the darkness in proclaiming the good news of Christ.

God, by nature, is first, loves first, and goes first in all things—including generosity. He has created a world intended for life and abundance, not death and scarcity. He has generously given us all things, culminating in the giving of His Son for our life—calling us to trust His provision and generosity as we live our lives today and seek the Kingdom above all else.
