“Rest & Renewal” or “Relapse & Retreat”? That’s one of the choices I find confronting me every summer. Changes of routine can be a wonderfully refreshing thing…or they can be dangerous and downright disastrous. It all depends on what...
With all the rain we’ve had this past week (3.5 inches in 24 hours at one point), some of us may have been thinking, “Did God remember his promise not to flood the earth again?” Just keep looking for rainbows. God still loves to remind us of his promise-keeping...
People really are interested in God…even if they can’t stand the church these days. If you don’t think so, just try asking them. In the past two days I’ve watched God open up several extended conversations with people on the street about pretty deep...

This Sunday we’ll be experiencing something completely NEW for Mosaic and probably for most of you as well. But it wasn’t new for the first century church. In fact, it was so common that Paul wrote about it in I Corinthians 11 when he talked about the “Lord’s...
It’s official. We’re now a pre-schooler! This week marks the 4th anniversary of our launch as Mosaic Fellowship in downtown Spokane. Congratulations to a wonderful mosaic of God’s family! As I think about what God is doing with Mosaic these days, a...
