Worship with us this morning at 10 AM.

This Labor Day weekend, we’ll gather together for worship and continue our Favorite Old Testament Stories with one of the most familiar: David and Goliath.

In 1 Samuel 17, David faced a battle that looked impossible. But his confidence wasn’t in his own strength. It was in the God he trusted.

David & Goliath: Always Trusting | 1 Samuel 17

Whether this weekend brings work, rest, time with family, or a little of each, we’d love to have you with us this morning.

A reminder for our Underground families: there is no separate Underground gathering today. Our students will join us in the main room for worship and the service.

A few Mosaic reminders as we head into Labor Day weekend.

This Sunday, Underground will not meet separately. Our students will join us in the main room for worship and the service.

We could also use a little help from the balcony.

Our lyrics team is looking for a few members especially with one of our regular volunteers stepping away for a bit to welcome a baby ❤️ we’d love to add a few more people to the rotation.

No previous experience is needed. Running lyrics is simple to learn, we’ll show you exactly what to do, and you’ll be helping make sure everyone in the room can worship and sing together.

Plus, the view from the lyrics spot is pretty great.

If you’d be willing to help, even occasionally, let us know.

And ladies, registration is now open for our Women’s Ministry Fall Potluck Brunch on Saturday, September 26. Registration link is in the comments and we’ll have flyers available Sunday with a QR code to register.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, may we remember that both our work and our rest matter to God.

We’ll see you Sunday!

Midweek Meditation | Regardless

What kind of love keeps people together when obligation and convenience would let them walk away?

Ruth could have returned to her own family, her own people, and the life she had known.

But she stayed.

“Your people will be my people and your God my God.”
Ruth 1:16

Sunday, Pastor Mike talked about three different kinds of love. One of them was agape ❤️ love that says:

Regardless.

Ruth’s choice was not based on what was easiest or most familiar. Her commitment had become rooted in something deeper.

“Your God will be my God.”

That is where this becomes personal for us.

Christian love is not only about loving people when it is natural, comfortable, or expected.

It is learning to love because we have first been loved by God.

Reflection

Who has God placed in your life that may be difficult to love consistently?

What would it look like to love them with grace, patience, and faithfulness . . . regardless?

Prayer

Give us wisdom to know what faithful love looks like, grace when it is difficult, and hearts that reflect Your love to the people You have placed around us.

Amen.

Sunday Recap | Ruth: When Faith & Love Are Challenged

“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”
Ruth 1:16

This Sunday, Pastor Mike took us into the book of Ruth and one of Scripture’s most familiar declarations of commitment.

After the deaths of Naomi’s husband and sons, Naomi prepared to return home to Bethlehem and urged Ruth and Orpah to remain in Moab.

Orpah returned.

Ruth stayed.

Her words to Naomi were more than affection. They revealed a deep commitment:

“Your people will be my people and your God my God.”

Pastor Mike used Ruth’s decision to talk about the way both faith and love are challenged.

Love is more than emotion. It is tested when circumstances change, relationships become difficult, or choosing to remain faithful costs us something.

He also pointed to the larger picture God was already writing through Ruth’s life.

Ruth was a Moabite, an outsider to Israel. Yet she became part of the family line of David and ultimately of Jesus. Her place in that genealogy is a reminder that God’s love reaches far beyond the boundaries people often create.

Mike also introduced the different New Testament words for love and described agape with one word:

“Regardless.”

What does that kind of love look like when it is challenged?

That is part of the message Pastor Mike invited us to consider Sunday.

This Sunday we begin a new look at some favorite Old Testament stories with Ruth: When Faith & Love Are Challenged.

In Ruth 1:16–17, we see faith and love tested in the middle of loss, uncertainty, and difficult choices. Yet through Ruth’s story, God is already at work in ways she cannot fully see.

Join us tomorrow as we worship together, open God’s Word, and spend time in the story of Ruth.

Midweek Meditation

Sitting with Genesis 32:22–32 and the story of Jacob, there is a quiet comfort in watching a lifetime of striving finally come to rest. For so many years, Jacob lived on edge—maneuvering, scheming, and relying on his own sharp wits to handle Esau, Isaac, and Laban.

But that all-night wrestling match marked the moment he finally grew tired of the illusion of control. God didn't meet Jacob in the dark to crush him, but to rename him Israel—inviting him into an identity rooted not in self-made protection, but in peaceful surrender.
​
This offers a gentle reminder that faith was never meant to be a high-pressure performance test. God isn't asking us to shoulder an unbearable weight or strive for His approval. Instead, He actively works within us (Philippians 2:13), offers the gift of His Spirit (Acts 2:38), prepares our steps with care (Ephesians 2:10), and fills us with a spirit of power, love, and a calm mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Releasing control allows us to stop striving, take a deep breath, and simply rest in the work He is already doing.
​
Questions to Pause and Consider
​Where in your life are you carrying the weight of trying to control the outcome, just like Jacob did?
​
What would it look like today to gently hand that specific area over to God and rest in His strength instead of your own?

​Proverbs 3:5–6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
​
Isaiah 30:15
"This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: 'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength...'"

We’re thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Festival of Hope at Mansfield Speedway this weekend.

A special thank-you to our Mosaic Art Ministry team for serving so faithfully and creating a welcoming space for kids to make art throughout the day. It was a joy to see so many children creating, families connecting, and people from churches across our community coming together.

We’re also grateful for our Art Ministry director, Rachel Justice, who spent the afternoon creating this beautiful live art piece as part of the event, along with 2 other wonderful artists.

Most importantly, we celebrate the ways God was at work throughout the day. Many people gathered, lives were encouraged, commitments were made to follow Christ, and baptisms gave public testimony to the hope and new life found in Jesus. We’re grateful for every person who attended and for the churches, volunteers, and leaders who helped make the Festival of Hope possible.

Thank you to Godsfield and everyone who contributed to a day filled with creativity, community, prayer, and the hope we have in Jesus.

Sunday Recap | The God of Jacob

This Sunday, Pastor Mike concluded our three-week series The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob with The God of Jacob: God’s Partnership with Us.

Jacob had spent much of his life grasping, deceiving, and trying to control the outcome.

But in Genesis 32, something changes.

Jacob wrestles through the night and refuses to let go until he receives God’s blessing.

His name is changed from Jacob to Israel.

We were reminded that Jacob did not “overcome” God by being stronger. The deeper change was that Jacob was finally giving up his own way and his need to control everything. He was learning to seek God’s blessing rather than simply getting what he wanted.

And that brought the whole series together.

Abraham showed us the call of God.

Isaac showed us the grace of God.

Jacob showed us the work of God in partnership with His people.

God does not call us and then leave us to figure out the Christian life on our own.

He gives us His Spirit.

He works in us.

He gives us strength for what He has called us to do.

As Philippians 2:13 reminds us:

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.”

The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob is still the God who calls, gives grace, changes hearts, and walks with His people.

Around Mosaic this week:

🍽️ Mosaic Meals is this Friday, August 28. Volunteers are especially needed around 3:00 PM for setup, 4:30 PM to help serve, and 6:30 PM for cleanup and breakdown.

Worship Tomorrow | Sunday at 10 AM

This Sunday we come to the final message in The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob as we turn to Genesis 32:22–32 and Jacob’s unforgettable night of wrestling with God.

Jacob had spent much of his life relying on his own plans and his own way of getting what he wanted. But his encounter with God changed him. Even his name would no longer be the same.

Tomorrow, Interim Pastor Mike will share The God of Jacob | God’s Partnership with Us, as we look at what it means for God to work in us and through us.

It is also Communion Sunday, and we’ll gather around the Lord’s Table together as we remember the One on whom our faith ultimately rests: Jesus.

We’d love to have you worship with us.
