September20

Welcome

Mosaic, how special was that?

We love getting to celebrate families and come around parents as they make the decision to raise their kids to know Jesus, experience His love, and become everything God created them to be.

And to every family who dedicated a child today, we're with you. We're praying for you, we're cheering you on, and we're so grateful that we get to be part of your family's life.

And hey, welcome to Mosaic!

If you call Mosaic home, you know our mission is to live by faith, be known by love, and be a voice of hope to the world.

And one of the things we always say around here is that you don't have to believe to belong. So whether today is your first Sunday, you've been coming for a little while, or you've been part of Mosaic for years, we're really glad you're here.

New Here

And if you're new to Mosaic today, or you've been coming for a little while and we haven't had the chance to meet yet, would you raise your hand?

We'd love to welcome you!

We have a free gift for you. Just scan the QR code on the screen or visit mosaic.org/nextstep.

But more than anything, we'd actually love to meet you. Stop by Next Step after the gathering, say hi to our team, and let us help you get connected.

We're really glad you're here!

Interaction questionTurn to someone near you and tell them one thing you're looking forward to this fall.

Next Steps

Wherever you are with God, there's always another step you can take, and we'd love to help you take it.

Mosaic Houses are happening every Wednesday in September, with Bible studies in neighborhoods across Los Angeles. We're going through the book of Philippians together, opening the Scriptures, asking honest questions, and building friendships with people in our community.

And if you're ready to build a stronger foundation in your faith, Discipleship is another great next step.

It's a four-week experience designed to help you understand the Scriptures, grow in your relationship with Jesus, and learn what it looks like to follow Him in everyday life.

Leadership Advance

One of the highlights of our year is coming up on Saturday, October 3rd: Leadership Advance.

If you lead, serve on a team, or simply want to be part of Mosaic's mission and help build the future with us, we want you there.

Pastor Erwin is going to spend the day investing in us, challenging us, and helping us grow personally, as teams, and as a church.

We'll have worship, teaching, breakouts, a lot of fun, and time together as we look toward where Jesus is leading us next.

CTALeadership Advance is Saturday, October 3rd, from 10 AM to 3 PM right here at the Rialto. Head to mosaic.org/events to RSVP.

Vision Sunday + New Gathering Times

And then the very next day is a huge Sunday for our entire community.

Sunday, October 4th is Vision Sunday!

Pastor Erwin is going to share where Jesus is leading us, what we're building toward, and the future we believe is possible for Mosaic.

And Vision Sunday also marks the beginning of something new.

Starting October 4th, our Sunday gathering times are changing to: 9:00 AM + 10:30 AM.

We're growing, we're making room, and we're really excited about what this next season means for our community.

So put October 4th on your calendar now, update those Sunday alarms, and make plans to be here for Vision Sunday.

CTAHead to mosaic.org/events to learn more about Vision Sunday and everything happening that weekend.

Help Us Know You Better

And as Mosaic grows, we want to make sure our connection grows with us.

More people are finding their way to Mosaic, and we want to keep building intentional community, know who you are, and better understand how we can serve you and help you take meaningful next steps.

So we're asking everyone in the room and everyone joining us online to take just one minute and fill out a quick survey.

You'll see it on the screen right now.

It'll ask you a little about how you're connected to Mosaic, what you're looking for, and how we can communicate and serve you better moving forward.

Your answers are really going to help us as we continue growing without losing the connection that makes this community feel like home.

CTATake out your phone, scan the QR code on the screen, and take one minute to fill it out. If you're joining us online, you'll find the link there as well.

Speaker Intro

And now, get ready.

Pastor Erwin is bringing the message today, and you're going to want to lean into this one.

Get your notes ready. You may need to rewatch this message later, because we really believe God is going to speak to us today.

And before we continue, take a second to silence your phone, put away the distractions, and give yourself the space to really be present for what God wants to say.

Mosaic, would you stand to your feet and help us welcome our lead pastor, Erwin Raphael McManus!

Stand and Greet

Before we continue, why don't you stand to your feet?

Take the next minute to meet someone around you, introduce yourself, and help make this place feel like home.

And if you're here today and you know God is inviting you to take a step closer to Him, we'd love to walk with you. Just scan the QR code on the screen or visit mosaic.org/nextstep.

Alright, you've got one minute. Go meet somebody, and then we'll jump back into worship.

What a message.

And if God is speaking to you today and you know He's inviting you to take a step closer to Him, don't let this moment end here.

Some of you may have made the decision today to give your life to Jesus. That's the most important decision you will ever make, and we'd love to walk with you from here.

Head to Next Step after the gathering. We want to meet you personally, put a copy of the Scriptures in your hands, and help you keep moving forward.

CTAScan the QR code or visit mosaic.org/nextstep and we'll personally follow up with you.

And another way we respond to Jesus every week is through our giving and generosity.

(Invite the team forward.)

Generosity has always been part of who we are at Mosaic.

Every time we give, we're investing in this community, in the next generation, in our city, and in creating spaces where people can experience Jesus and find hope.

And it's not about the amount. It's about all of us building together.

If Mosaic has impacted your life, we'd love to invite you to be part of fueling the mission of Mosaic through consistent or monthly giving.

CTATake out your phone, scan the QR code, and give now as we pass the buckets.

Thank you for being with us today, Mosaic!

And before you go, one last reminder: Discipleship is starting soon.

If you're ready to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, understand the Scriptures, and build a stronger foundation for your faith, we'd love for you to take that step.

Stop by Next Step before you leave or head to mosaic.org/nextstep to learn more.

And make sure October 3rd and 4th are on your calendar for Leadership Advance and Vision Sunday.

Remember, beginning October 4th, our new Sunday gathering times are 9:00 AM + 10:30 AM!

We love you, Mosaic. Have an amazing week, and we'll see you next Sunday!
