Peace is Love Resting
Dear Mosaic Family,
The esteemed French inventor and physicist Blaise Pascal writes in his Pensées, "All of humanity's problems stem from inability to sit quietly in a room alone."
The longer I meditate on his words the more they resonate. Is this the case? Of course it is. When's the last time you spent an hour in a room by yourself, sitting in silence? Not so easy. But why? Why is this universally true? Because most people are not at peace with themselves. Thus, most people need a constant stream of distractions, so they don't have to think about the most important questions in life, such as: do I have peace with myself? If not, why not.
Peace with yourself begins by finding peace with God. Once you receive it, you have to put a game plan together to grow the fruit of peace in your life. The game plan must include detecting the peace thieves in your life and replacing them with peace growers. Peace is not just the absence of enmity or conflict. No, peace is love resting in the sovereign will of a peaceful God.
Make every effort to join us Sunday to hear the second sermon entitled "Peace is Love Resting" in the series, "Love by death, produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit,"
Galatians 5:22-24 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
Looking forward to worshiping with you!
Pastor Jan

Fundraising Goal
Right now, our church has a big goal—to raise $5 million for our own worship space. We believe every tongue will confess and every knee will bow to Jesus Christ. That’s why we want to establish a permanent church home in a global city, where God’s people from far and wide can learn about the living God. Visit here if you would like to know more or donate to this goal.
