The theme of Pastor Harry’s sermon this past Sunday, taken from John 17, was “oneness”, with the direction being an illustration of how we, as Christ-followers, are one because Christ lives in each of us through the Holy Spirit. How amazing that the one true God is alive within each believer! This is only possible…

Statement on the Supreme Court’s Decision re. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas, June 25, 2022 Many today would have us believe that to love our friends, demonstrate loyalty to those most likely to act and think as we do and/or our unwavering commitment to a preferred cause, requires us to reject, denigrate,…

Sunday morning, Pastor Cindy quoted N.T. Wright, a quote that is absolutely worth visiting and meditating on again. He said, “The resurrection is not an isolated supernatural oddity proving how powerful, if apparently arbitrary, God can be when he wants to.

Recently, my husband and I received a little blessing from the manager at a hotel where we had a reservation. Because we are frequent guests of this chain, the manager offered to upgrade our room at no charge. The upgrade that he provided far exceeded my imagination for a nice hotel room!

Jesus describes the person as a white-washed tomb, pretty on the outside and dead on the inside. How can we know if…

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”  Philippians 4:4 (ESV) Here we have a Scriptural command to rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS.  Rightfully so, as a body of born-again believers at Mosaic, we rejoice and have joy through emotion (singing, praising, being thankful with gladness) on Sunday mornings as we worship.

Why is it that forgiveness is so powerful? So necessary? Forgiveness heals. Some say that forgiveness is letting go of the past. That may seem impossible if your past is painful. Some things are simply hard to forgive, and we can’t just pretend that things didn’t happen. Perhaps, however, we sometimes hold on to bitterness…
