Mosaic UMC Sermons

In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard owner who pays every worker the same wage, whether they showed up at dawn or five in the afternoon, and asks us to sit with how unfair that feels before we rush...

In this week's devotion, we look at how we got to the place we are in AI, the anxiety in the world surrounding it, and how we can look to God in the midst of all of it.

Matthew 18:21-35 gives us Peter's question about how many times we're supposed to forgive, and Jesus answers with a parable about a servant forgiven an impossible debt who turns around and chokes a fellow servant over...

When Jesus tells us that whoever loses their life will save it, sometimes we try and have it both ways.

Jesus tells a story about a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to chase down one lost one, and if that sounds backwards, that's the point: in the economy of God, the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many...

This week we welcome guest speaker Tab Miller, Director of Operations and Volunteer Ministries at FaithWorks in Brunswick, Georgia. Preaching from Matthew 5:13-16, Tab wrestles with what it means to be salt and light in...

Jonah's message was well received Nineveh repented, but instead of celebrating he got angry that grace reached people he didn't think deserved it. This week we sat with that whine and asked how often we do the same...

Jonah preached the harshest sermon imaginable, no mercy, no invitation to repent, just forty days and judgment, and somehow the whole city turned to God anyway. This week we sat with what it means that Nineveh believed...

Jonah didn't run from a task, he ran from the people God asked him to love, and if we're honest, most of us have done the same thing. This week we started our new series in the book of Jonah, tracing how God met a...

In this week's midweek devotion, we look at how the book of Jonah teaches against tribal religion, showing pagan sailors who are more virtuous than God's prophet.

It's one thing to sing about peace on Sunday night, and another thing when the notification pops up Monday morning and the study of war finds you. In Romans 12, Paul calls a church living in the shadow of empire to...

Paul and Silas end up beaten, shackled, and thrown into the darkest cell in Philippi, and they respond by singing. Tonight we dig into Acts 16 through the lens of Martin Buber's I-Thou philosophy, tracing how nearly...

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had every reason to expect they were about to die, and they walked toward the furnace anyway rather than bow to a king's golden idol. Their story asks us what shalom actually means when...

<p>In John 14 and 15, Jesus promises his disciples a peace unlike anything the world can offer, a Shalom rooted not in the absence of conflict but in wholeness, harmony, and the abiding presence of the Spirit. This...
